German myths and legends 1
The highest god in ancient Greek mythology, known as Jupiter in Roman mythology, is the youngest son of Cronus and Rhea. Cronus gained supreme power by overthrowing his father Uranus. He was afraid that his children would follow his example, so he swallowed his children. His wife Rhea couldn't bear to be swallowed by Zeus, so she took a stone and pretended that Zeus had swallowed it for him.
When Zeus grew up, he rebelled against his father with his brothers and sisters and launched a fierce struggle. After ten years of war, my grandmother Gaia defeated my father with the help of the goddess of the earth. Zeus and his brothers Poseidon and Hades were in charge of heaven, the sea and the underworld. Since then, Zeus has become the ruler in charge of the universe. Jupiter's Latin name comes from him. Burgess is the Dionysus in Greek mythology. His father is Zeus, the sun god, and his mother is a beautiful woman named Simile. Zeus's job is to shine on the earth during the day. Many times, he will appear in the human world as a handsome man, and fell in love with him when he met Simili. But once the flame of Zeus accidentally burned Qian Meili to death, leaving only a pregnant uterus. Sad, he gave birth to Burgess on a full moon night, using Simile's womb. Burgess first learned to grow grapes, and then invented the method of making wine, so he became the ancestor of wine.
When Burgess was young, he liked playing in the human world as much as his father. He met a beautiful girl, a princess named Arya, at the quiet seaside, and they fell in love immediately. When they got married, Burgess gave his wife a golden crown as a symbol of love. But the beauty's life is short, and his wife died soon. The sad Burgess threw his wife's golden crown into the sky. In Greek mythology, Burgess constellation is the golden crown constellation, which is located to the east of Taurus and still shines today.
In addition to the Greek worship of Dionysus, ancient Egyptian murals also mentioned the name of Dionysus, and Rome also had the legend of Ubri Mas. In addition, the Old Testament also recorded that Noah was a winemaker. In order to punish the fallen human beings, God rained for forty days and nights, and the flood destroyed everything on the earth, leaving only Noah's family. After the flood receded, Noah planted grape seeds on the ground. After the harvest, the grapes began to ferment because they could not be eaten at home, and he found a way to make wine.
German myths and legends 2: the Chinese garden of mankind
From Imil's body, the earth was created,
His blood became a salty sea;
Bones are mountains, hair is forests,
The arched sky comes from his spirit.
With his eyelids, holy one,
Create a Chinese garden for mankind;
Clouds floating all over the sky,
From the giant's broken brain.
? Song of Grinnell
When God's ancestors Odin, Willie and Wei created human ancestors Askell and Ebola from wood and elm, they lived in the center of the earth created by Imil's body; In order to prevent giants or other evil creatures from doing harm to them, the Three Gods used the eyelids of Imil, the ancestor of giants, as a fence to enclose the earth, the central group that is the home of mankind? Intermediate garden. Asker and Paula built a home in Zhongyuan and gave birth to many descendants. In this way, human beings thrive in this land. However, tiny human beings, except death fighters who were chosen to go to Warhol Palace and ordinary people who went to Haier's country of death, could never get out of this fence made of Imil's eyelids.
Human beings are so small that their life, health, wealth and destiny are in the hands of three fates. They spin, measure and cut the silk thread of human destiny, and arbitrarily determine the length of human life, health and wealth.
Humans will never know that the earth they live in is just one of the nine worlds; They will never reach the end of the vast world, but it is only a branch of the middle part of the universe tree of Yuga and Tracy.
The surface of the branches is uneven, which is called alpine canyon by human beings.
Water gathers on the surface of branches, which people call lakes and oceans.
Where moss grows on branches, humans call it a forest.
Above the earth of mankind are the flame country mosby Heim, the elf country Elf Heim, and the God country Asa Garden. The gods in Asa Garden are the protectors of human beings, who are in charge of human knowledge, wisdom, poetry, history, peace, war, strength, wealth, hunting, fishing, harbor, love, marriage, fertility and other things. Soldiers who died in the human war were chosen to go to the Valhar Palace in Asa Garden to continue to serve the gods.
Outside the earth, people live next to each other in Jotunheim, a giant country, and Warner Heim, the hometown of Warner God. Living in Jotunheim are powerful and evil giants. They are not only the enemies of Asa, but also try to destroy the central garden of mankind at any time, which is the greatest threat to mankind.
Below the earth is the land of dark elves where dwarves live, the world of ice and snow, Nivelheim, and the land of Haier's death. Dwarfs live in the nearest place to human beings, in rock caves under the earth or black soil. They are short and deep in the dark. Whenever night falls, they sometimes come to the garden of human beings, borrow things from them, or do small business with them. They are usually friends of human beings. Haier is the master of the country of death, and all human beings who died of illness and aging will come to her huge palace in the country of death to serve her.
German myths and legends Part III: Odin travels on the earth.
I didn't move my body for eight nights,
No one sent meat and mead;
Only Agnel, the son of Gillodes,
He will be the master of the Gothic kingdom.
? Song of Grinnell
Odin, the Lord of the gods, loves to travel and constantly increases his knowledge and wisdom during his travels. Therefore, Odin often went to the world, disguised as an old man or a wizard, observed human sufferings, punished evil and promoted good. In the central garden where human beings live, many miracles of Odin have been left behind one after another.
Once upon a time, there was a king on the earth. He had two sons, Agnes and Jill Lodders. When Agne was ten years old and Gillodes was eight years old, once, two brothers rocked their boats and went fishing in the river. Unfortunately, a strong wind suddenly blew where they were fishing and blew their boat into the sea. After drifting for a long time, the ship finally ran aground on the beach. At this time, the night has come.
Two young brothers abandoned the ship and went ashore, groping for land in the dark. Soon, they found a childless farmer's home, which was well taken care of by the farmer's husband and wife. In this farmer's home, the two brothers and the old couple spent a winter together. In this winter, the peasant woman took care of and educated the old Agenir, while the farmer took care of the young Jill Lodders and taught him a lot of knowledge and wisdom.
When spring came, the farmer gave the two brothers a boat and let them go home by boat. The farmer and his wife sent them to the seaside emotionally and waved goodbye. When leaving, the farmer pulled Jill Lodders aside and gave him some mysterious advice.
Agenir and Jill Lodders rocked their boat and successfully returned to their father's land. However, just as they landed, Jill Lodders, who was standing at the bow, jumped on the beach, then turned around and pushed the boat off the shore. The wind blew hard, and under the impetus of Jill Lodders, the boat carrying Agnel floated to the sea again. According to the farmer's instructions, Jill Lodders did this without mercy and proudly shouted to his long-dead brother:? You can float anywhere you want! ?
Then Jill Lodders went back to his father's palace alone. At that time, the old king had just died, and ministers were very happy to see a prince return safely, so they acclaimed Jill Lodders as king.
Many years later, Odin, the Lord of the gods, and his wife frigga sat on his magical throne in Asa Garden, overlooking the world. Inadvertently, Odin saw Jill Lodders, who had become the king, in the middle garden. This reminds him that many years ago, he and frigga dressed up as farmers and peasant women and raised two younger brothers by the sea for a winter.
So he turned to frigga and said, Do you remember those two young brothers, Agnel, whom you raised? He may be busy giving birth to a son in a cave with a giant woman. You see, this Jill Lodders I raised has become the king of the earth and is busy governing his country! ? Frigga naturally knew Odin was going to let young Jill Lodders count his brother when he came home to fight with her. In this way, Odin is enough to prove to her that his divine power is far superior to that of frigga, and even children raised separately will not be more different in the future. When Odin was proud, frigga didn't bother him, but said to Odin, Unfortunately, King Gil Lodders is a tyrannical king. He even sometimes finds his guests disgusting and mistreats them for no reason. ?
Odin looked at frigga suspiciously and didn't quite believe what she said. Therefore, he decided to go to the Central Garden in person and visit the King of Virtue, Jill Lodders, anonymously. However, when frigga knew Odin's plan, she immediately sent her personal waitress Flora to see King Jill Lodders first. Ralph told Jill Lodders that there was a magical wizard coming to his country, and the wizard would bewitch him with witchcraft, so he had to be alert in advance. Ralph also specifically mentioned that although wizards are good at change, they are still easy to identify; Because of his magical power, no fierce dog dared to bark at him when he saw him.
It is actually slander to say that King Gil Lodders is overbearing and unfriendly to people. But I don't know what to do. Jill Lodders still ordered the world to catch the wizard whose dog didn't dare to bark at him. Finally, Odin, dressed as a wizard, was caught by the samurai; He wore a dark blue coat and called himself Grimnier. But beyond that, Grimnier refused to answer any questions and his attitude was very tough. King Jill Lodders ordered him to be tortured in order to find out his details. The thugs in the palace roasted the wizard for eight days and eight nights with two pots of raging fires in tandem. For eight days, Grimnier was tortured to the brim.
King Jill Lodders has a little son, who is only eight years old. Like his uncle, his name is Agnel. Seeing the poor old man who had been baked by fire for eight days and eight nights, little Agnel filled a horn cup with water with great sympathy and secretly gave it to him to drink. Agne Jr. also told Grimnier that it was unfair for King Gil Lodders to torture him for no reason.
Grimnier, who was tortured, picked up the horn cup and took a sip of water. At this time, the flame in the brazier behind him had burned his dark blue coat. By the light of the fire, the old wizard sang a poem to little Agnel, which described in detail the origin of the world and mankind, the God who ruled the world, and the scene in Asa Garden, the kingdom of God. Finally, he told Agnes that he was Odin, the supreme ruler of the world.
While Greenier was singing, King Gillodes came in. He sat with a sword in his hand and listened to him with Agnel. Because the poem was full of extensive knowledge he had never heard before, he was deeply attracted and unconsciously let go of his sword. When Jill Lodders finally heard that the wizard who claimed to be Grimnier was the Lord of the gods himself, he was surprised. He quickly got up and pulled Odin out of the flame. When he got up, the sword on his knee loosened and fell to the ground. When he went to La Odin, he suddenly tripped over the sword mouth. King Jill Lodders is dead, the king is dead, Grimnier, or Odin, suddenly disappears.
After Ji Lodders died, his son agnes became the king of that country as Odin wished. Because of Odin's remorse and high hopes, Agne managed the country well. During his reign, the country was in good weather, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, leading a happy life.
