she gave birth to the twins ，apollo and artemis。 apollo was me sun…god。he
wore a purple robe。he usually sat in his bright eastern palace early in
the morning and madeready to start his daily journey across the sky。during
the day hed rove his carriage of gold and ivory ， and brought light，
life and love to the great world below。 iate in the afternoon he came
to the end of his journey in the far western sea and got on his golden
boat to return to his eastern home。 apollo was the god of music and poetry。he
could stir up all feelings。these feelings are expressed in lofty songs。with
his lyre of gold and the sweet accents of his godlike voice heled the
choir of the muses at olympus。the pleasant music from his lyre was so
exciting that stones marched into their places in rhythmic time and of
their own will when he helped poseidonbuild up the walls of troy。on one
occasion，invited to a contest by the human musician marsyas，he won and
then flayed him to death for his pride。on another occasion，he lost out
topan at a musical contest and turned the ears of the judge ，king midas，
into those of an ass。 his son ，orpheus ，took over such skill from the
father that his lyre moved man and animals alike。 apollo stood for youthful
and manly beauty。his goldenhair ，stately manner and air all bined
to make him the admiration of the world。a beautiful girl，by the name
of clytle ，was so fond of his beauty and glory that from dawn to dusk
she knelt on the ground ，her hands outstretched towards the sungod ，
and her eyes looked at his golden wheeled carriage racing across the blue
sky。though her love was not returned，she had never changed her mind about
apollo。the gods were moved at the sad sight ，and changed her into a sunflower。
阿波罗在众多的奥林波斯山神中，主神宙斯和雷托之子阿波罗最受推崇。据希腊
神话记载，雷托被天后赫拉驱赶得四处流浪。最终是海神波塞冬怜悯她并从海中
捞起提落岛让她居住。在岛上，她生了孪生儿子阿波罗和阿尔特弥斯。阿波罗是
太阳神。清晨他身着紫色袍，坐在那明亮的东方宫殿，准备开始每日穿越天空的
旅行。白天，他驾着用金子和象牙制成的战车，给广阔无垠的大地带来光明、生
命和仁爱。黄昏时分，他在遥远的西海结束了旅行，然后就乘上金船返回东方的
家中。阿波罗是音乐神和诗神。他可唤起人们倾注于圣歌中的各种情感。在奥林
波斯山上，他手拿金质里拉，用悦耳的音调指挥缪斯的合唱。当他帮助波塞冬建
造特洛伊城墙时，里拉奏出的音乐如此动听，以致石头有节奏地、自动地各就其
位。有一次他接受凡人音乐家马斯亚斯的挑战参加一次竞赛。战胜对方后，他将
对手剥皮致死以惩罚他的狂妄自大。在另外一次音乐比赛中，因输给了潘神，他
就将裁判迈尔斯国王的耳朵变成了驴耳朵。阿波罗的儿子俄耳甫斯继承了父亲这
方面的才能。他的竖琴使人与动物皆受感动。阿波罗象征着青春和男子汉的美。
金色的头发、庄重的举止、容光焕发的神态，这些足以使他受到世人的青睐。
一位名叫克里提的美丽少女迷恋于他的英俊潇洒，跪在地上，从黎明到黄昏，双
手伸向太阳神。她凝视着那辆金质马车在蔚蓝的天空驰骋。虽然她的爱并未得到
回报，但她对阿波罗的痴情却从未改变。目睹这悲哀的场面，众神深受感动，将
她变成了一株向日葵。

Prometheus prometheus was a titan 。in the war between zeus the giants
he had stood on the side of the new olympiangods。out of the clay he made
the first man ，to whom athena gave soul and holy breath。prometheus spent
a lot of time and energy in creating the gift of fire。and fire raised
man above all animals 。later，there held a joint meeting of gods and men。the
meeting was to decide what part of burnt animals should begiven to gods
and what to men。prometheus cut up an ox and divided it into two parts
：under the skin he placed the fresh，and under the fat he put the bones，
for he knew the selfish zeus loved fat。 zeus saw through the trick and
felt displeased at the prometheus' favor towards men。so in a masterful
way he took away the gift of fire from mankind。however，prometheus managed
to steal fire from heaven and secretly brought it down tomen。flying into
an anger at this unjustified act of rebellion ，zeus let the other gods
chain prometheus to a rock on mountain caucasus ，where a hungry eagle
ever tore at his liver which ever grew again。his period of pain was to
be thirty…thousand years。prometheus faced his bitter fate firmly and never
lost courage before zeus。at last heracles made prometheus and zeus restore
to friend ship，when heracles came over in search of the golden apple
and killed the eagle and set the friend of mankind free。普罗米修斯普罗
米修斯是泰坦巨人之一。在宙斯与巨人的战争中，他站在新的奥林波斯山神一边。
他用粘土造出了第一个男人。雅典娜赋予了这个男人灵魂和神圣的生命。普
罗米修斯还花费了很多时间和精力创造了火，并将之赠予人类。火使人成为万物
之灵。
在这之后，举行了第一次神与人的联席会议。这个会议将决定烧烤过的动物
的哪一部分该分给神，哪一部分该给人类。普罗米修斯切开一头牛，把它分成两
部分：他把肉放在皮下，将骨头放在肥肉下。因为他知道自私的宙斯爱吃肥肉。
宙斯看穿了他的把戏。普罗米修斯偏袒人类，这使宙斯感到不快。因此，他专横
地把火从人类手中夺走。然而，普罗米修斯设法窃走了天火，偷偷地把它带给人
类。
宙斯对他这种肆无忌惮的违抗行为大发雷霆。他令其他的山神把普罗米修斯
用锁链缚在高加索山脉的一块岩石上。一只饥饿的老鹰天天来啄食他的肝脏，而
他的肝脏又总是重新长出来。他的痛苦要持续三万年。而他坚定地面对苦难，从
来不在宙斯面前丧失勇气。最后，海格立斯使普罗米修斯与宙斯恢复了他们的友
谊，找到了金苹果，杀死了老鹰，因而解救了人类的老朋友。
