First there was Chaosin Hesiod’s system, then Gaea and Eros (Earth and Desire). Chaos, however, did not generate Gaea; the offspring of Chaos were Erebus (Darkness) and Nyx. Nyx begat Aether, the bright upper air, andDay. Nyx later begat the dark and dreadful aspects of the universe (e.g., Dreams, Death, War, and Famine).In Hesiod's Theogony, Nyx is born of Chaos; her offspring are many, and telling. With Erebus the deity of shadow and darkness, Nyx gives birth to Aether (atmosphere) and Hemera (day). Later,. In his description of Tartarus, Hesiod says further that Hemera (day), who is Nyx's daughter, left Tartarus just as Nyx entered it; when Hemera returned, Nyx left. This mirrors the portrayal of Ratri (night) in the Rigveda, where she works in close cooperation but also tension with her sister Ushas (dawn).Nyx by William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1883)Erebus ConsortChaos Parents[1]Erebus, Gaia, Tartarus and Eros Siblingssee below ChildrenHypnosHypnos and Thánatos, Sleep and His Half-Brother Death by John William Waterhouse.God of Sleep Underworld AbodePoppy SymbolPasithea ConsortNyx ParentsThánatos, Morpheus, Phobetor and Phantasos SiblingsMorpheus, Phobetor and Phantasos (according to Ovid) ChildrenRoman equivalentThe Creation of the World and MankindThis story is written by both Aeschylus and Hesiod.In the beginning, there was formless confusion of Chaos brooded over the unbroken darkness. Then out of the void appeared Erebus, the unknowable place where death dwells, and Night (Nyx). All else was empty, silent, endless, darkness. Then somehow Love (Eros) was born bringing a start of order. From Love came Light and Day. Once there was Light and Day, Gaea, the earth appeared.Gaea alone gave birth to Uranus, the god of the heavens. Uranus became Gaea's mate. Together they produced the three Cyclopes, the three Hecatoncheires, and twelve Titans.But, Uranus was a bad father and husband. He hated the Hecatoncheires. He imprisoned them by pushing them into the hiddenplaces of the earth, Gaea's womb. This angered Gaea and she plotted against Uranus. She made a flint sickle and tried to get her children to attack Uranus. Allwere too afraid except, the youngest Titan, Cronus.Gaea and Cronus set up an ambush of Uranus as he lay with Gaea at night. Cronus grabbed his father and castrated him, with the stone sickle, throwing the severed genitals into the ocean. The fate of Uranus is not clear. He either died, withdrew from the earth, or exiled himself toItaly. As he departed, he promised that Cronus and the Titans wouldbe punished. From his spilt blood came the Giants, the Ash Tree Nymphs, and the Erinyes. From the sea foam where his genitals fell came Aphrodite.Cronus became the next ruler. He imprisoned the Cyclopes and the Hecatoncheires in Tartarus. He married his sister Rhea, and under his rule the Titans had many offspring. He ruled for many ages. However, Gaea and Uranus both had prophesied that he would be overthrown by a son. To avoid this Cronus swallowed each of his children as they were born. Rhea was angry at the treatment of the children and plotted againstCronus. When it came time to give birth to her sixth child, Rhea tricked Cronus. She secretly carried the child to Crete and then wrapped a stonein swaddling cloths. Cronus, thinking it was a baby, ate the stone.The child was Zeus. He grew into a handsome youth on Crete. He consulted Metis on how to defeat Cronus. She prepared a drink for Cronus which would force him to vomit up the five other children. Rhea convinced Cronus to accept his son and Zeus was allowed to return to Mount Olympus as Cronus's cupbearer. This gave Zeus the opportunity to slip Cronus the specially prepared drink. This worked as planned and the other five children were vomited up. Being gods they were unharmed. They were thankful to Zeus and made him their leader.Cronus was yet to be defeated. He and the Titans, except Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Oceanus, fought to retain their power. Atlas becametheirleader in battle and it looked for some time as though they wouldwin and put the young gods down. However, Zeus was had other plans. He went down to Tartarus and freed the Cyclopes and the Hecatoncheires. Prometheus joined Zeus as well. He returned to battle with his new allies. The Cyclopes provided Zeus with lighting bolts for weapons. The Hecatoncheires he set in ambush armed with boulders. When the time was right, Zeus retreated drawing the Titans into the Hecatoncheires's ambush. The Hecatoncheires rained down hundreds of boulders with such afury the Titans thought the mountains were falling on them. Theybroke and ran giving Zeus victory.Zeus exiled the Titans who had fought against him into Tartarus. All except for Atlas, who was singled out for the special punishment of holding the world on his shoulders.However, even after this victory Zeus was not safe. Gaea, angry that her children had been imprisoned, gave birth to a last offspring, Typhoeus. Typhoeus was a creature more terrible than any that had gone before. However, Zeus, having learned to control thunder and lightning stuck Typhoeus down. Typhoeus was buried under Mount Etna in Sicily.Much later a final challenge to Zeus rule was made by the Giants. They went so far as to attempt to invade Mount Olympus, piling mountain upon mountain in an effort to reach the top. But, the gods had grown strong and with the help of Hercules, the Giants were subdued or killed. Now, the world, having been cleared of all the monsters, was ready for mankind. Prometheus and Epimetheus were spared imprisonment in Tartarus because they did not fight with their fellow Titans during the war with the Olympians. They were given the task of creating man. Epimetheus was in charge of the task of giving the creatures of theearth their various qualities, such as swiftness, cunning, strength, fur, wings.Unfortunately, by the time he got to man Epimetheus had given allthe good qualities out and there were none left for man. So he turned toPrometheus for help. Prometheus took over the task of creation and sought a way to make man superior. He made man stand upright like thethegods did and gave them fire.Prometheus loved man more than the Olympians, who had banished mostof his family to Tartarus. Because of Prometheus' love of man, Zeus created women. So when Zeus decreed that man must present a portion of each animal they sacrificed to the gods, Prometheus decided to trick Zeus. He created two piles, one with the bones wrapped injuicy fat, the other with the good meat hidden in the hide. He then made Zeuspick one pile. Zeus picked the bones. Since he had given his word, Zeus had to accept that as his share for future sacrifices. In his anger over thetrick, he took fire away from man. However, Prometheus lit a torch from the sun and brought it back again to man. Zeus was enraged that man again had fire. He decided to inflict a terrible punishment on both man and Prometheus.To punish man, Zeus had Hephaestus create a mortal of stunning beauty. The gods gave the mortal many gifts of wealth. This creation was Pandora, the first woman. A final gift was a jar which Pandora was forbidden to open. When she was completed, Zeus sent her to Epimetheus.Prometheus had warned Epimetheus not to accept gifts from Zeus but, Pandora's beauty was too great and he allowed her to stay. Eventually,Pandora's curiosity about the jar she was forbidden to open became too great. She opened the jar and out flew plagues, sorrow and mischief for mankind. However, the bottom of the jar held one good thing - Hope. It was the only good thing in the jar and remains to this day mankind's sole comfort in misfortune.However, a greater punishment lay in store for Prometheus. Zeus had his servants, Force and Violence, seize Prometheus, take him to Caucasus, and chain him to a rock with unbreakable adamanite chains. Here he was tormented day and night Zeus gave Prometheus two ways out of this torment. He could tell Zeus who the mother of the child that would dethrone him was. Or meet two conditions: First, that an immortal must volunteer to die for Prometheus. Second, that a mortal must kill the eagle and unchain him. Eventually, Chiron the Centaur agreed to die for him and Hercules killed the eagle and unbound him.Prometheus name has stood through the centuries, from Greek days to our own as the great rebel against injustice and authority of power.TitansThe Titans, also known as the elder gods, ruled the earth before the Olympians overthrew them. The ruler of the Titans was Cronus who was de-throned by his son Zeus. Most of the Titans fought with Cronus against Zeus and were punished by being banished to Tartarus., Gaea , Uranus, Cronus , Crius, Rhea , Phoebe, Oceanus , Thea, Tethys , Prometheus, Hyperion , Epimetheus, Mnemosyne , Atlas, Themis , Metis, Iapetus , Dione, CoeusGaeaGaea was Mother Earth. She mated with her son Uranus to produce the remaining Titans. Gaea seemed to have started as a neolithic earth-mother worshipped before the Indo-European invasion that eventually lead to the Hellenistic civilization.UranusUranus was the sky god and first ruler. He was the son of Gaea, who created him without help. He then became the husband of Gaea and together they had many offspring, including the Cyclopes, the Hecatoncheires, and twelve of the Titans.His rule ended when when Cronus, encouraged by Gaea, castrated him. He either died from the wound or withdrew from earth.CronusCronus was the ruling Titan who came to power by castrating his Father Uranus. His wife was Rhea. Their offspring were the first of the Olympians. To insure his safety, Cronus ate each of the children as theywere born. This worked until Rhea, unhappy at the loss of her children, tricked Cronus into swallowing a rock, instead of Zeus. When he grew up, Zeus would revolt against Cronus and the other Titans, defeat them, and banish them to Tartarus in the underworld.Cronus managed to escape to Italy, where he ruled as Saturn. The period of his rule was said to be the golden age on earth, a time of peace and happiness that was honored by the Saturnalia feast. During the golden age, the people of the time had no need for laws or rules; everyone did right and as such, there was no need.RheaRhea was the wife of Cronus. She was the Titan of the earth and fertility. Cronus made it a practice to swallow their children. To avoid this, Rhea tricked Cronus into swallowing a rock, saving her son Zeus. Rhea's symbol is the moon. She has another symbol, the swan, because it is a gentle animal. Also, her other symbol is two lions, supposedly the ones that pull her chariot.OceanusOceanus was the Latin word for the ocean, which the Greeks and Romans believed to be an enormous river encircling the world. Strictly speaking, it was the ocean-stream at the Equator in which floatedthe habitable hemisphere. This world-ocean was personified as a Titan, a sonof Uranus and Gaea. Together with his wife Tethys, they produced the rivers and six thousand offsprings called the Oceanids.TethysTethys was the wife of Oceanus. She was mother of the chief riversof the universe, such as the Nile, the Alpheus, the Maeander, and about sixthousand daughters called the Oceanids.HyperionHyperion was the Titan of light, an early sun god. He was the son of Gaea and Uranus. He married his sister Thea. Their children were Helius (the sun), Selene (the moon), and Eos (the dawn).MnemosyneMnemosyne was the Titan of memory. She slept with Zeus for ninenights and gave birth to the nine Muses.ThemisThemis was the Titan. Her name meaning "law of nature" rather than "human ordinance" was "of good counsel," was the embodiment of divine order, law and custom. She fought with Zeus against the other Titans. She was the mother of the Fates and the Horae (Seasons).IapetusIapetus was the father of Prometheus, Epimetheus, Menoetius, andAtlas by Clymene.CoeusCoeus was the Titan of Intelligence. He was the father of Leto and Asteria.CruisCruis married his sister Eurybia and became the father of Astraeus, Pallas and Perses.PhoebePhoebe was Titan of the Moon. She was the mother of Leto and Asteria.TheaShe, along with her brother Hyperion, was the mother of Helios,Selene and Eos. She seems here a goddess of glittering in particular and of glory in general.PrometheusPrometheus was the wisest Titan. His name meant "forethought" and he was able to foretell the future. He was the son of Iapetus. When Zeus revolted against Cronus, Prometheus deserted the other Titans and fought on Zeus' side.By some accounts, he and his brother Epimetheus were delegated byZeus to create man. In all accounts, Prometheus was known as theprotector and benefactor of man. He gave mankind a number of gifts including fire. He also tricked Zeus into allowing man to keep the best part of the animals sacrificed to the gods and to give the gods the worst parts. For this Zeus punished Prometheus by having him chained to a rock with an eagle tearing at his liver. He was to be left there for all eternity or until he agreed to disclose to Zeus which of Zeus' children would try to replace him. He was eventually rescued by Hercules without giving in to Zeus.EpimetheusEpimetheus was a stupid Titan, whose name meant "afterthought". He was the son of Iapetus. In some accounts, he was delegated, along with his brother Prometheus by Zeus to create mankind. He also accepted the gift of Pandora from Zeus, which lead to the introduction of evil into the world.AtlasAtlas was the son of Iapetus. Unlike his brothers Prometheus and Epimetheus, Atlas fought with the other Titans supporting Cronus against Zeus. Due to Cronus's advance age, Atlas led the Titan's in battle. As a result, he was singled out by Zeus for a special punishment and was forced to hold up the world on his back.MetisMetis was the Titaness of the forth day and the planet Mercury. She presided over all wisdom and knowledge. She was seduced by Zeus and became pregnant with Athena. Zeus became concerned over prophecies that her second child would replace Zeus. To avoid this Zeus ate her. It was said that she was the source for Zeus' wisdom and that she still advises Zeus from his belly. It may seem odd for Metis to have been pregnant with Athena but, never mentioned as her mother. This was because the classic Greeks believedthat children were generated solely from the father's sperm. The women was thought to be nothing more than a vessel for the fetus to grow in.Since Metis was killed well before Athena's birth, her role doesn't count.OlympiansThe Olympians are a group of 12 gods who ruled after the overthrowof the Titans. All the Olympians are related in some way. They are named after their dwelling place, Mount Olympus. Note that the Roman names for the Olympian Gods are in brackets., Zeus (Jupiter) , Athena (Minerva), Poseidon (Neptune) , Apollo, Hades (Pluto) , Aphrodite (Venus), Hestia (Vesta) , Hermes (Mercury), Hera (Juno) , Artemis (Diana), Ares (Mars) , Hephaestus (Vulcan or Mulciber)ZeusZeus (Jupiter) overthrew his Father Cronus to become the supremeruler of the gods.

An eagle attended him as a minister of his will and for page and cup-bearer he had Ganymede, a boy so beautiful that Zeus had him stolen from Mount Ida to make him immortal in heaven.

He was unpitying and terrible, but not capricious. His wife was Persephone whom Hades abducted. He was the King of the dead but, death itself is another god, Thanatos.Hades obtained his eventual consort, Persephone, through trickery, a story that connected the ancient Eleusinian Mysteries with the Olympian pantheon.

希腊罗马神话词源
源自网络材料汇编：最近上了北雅刘洪波老师的课，被那些来自希腊罗马神话的词汇深深吸引了，结合刘洪波老师的《英文字根词源精讲》和王鑫老师的《大话单词》，加上网络上的一些资料，把希腊神话词源总结了一下，希望对大家背单词有用，欢迎大家补充和更正：人所共知，西方文化有两个源头：一为希腊(Hellenic)文化，一为希伯莱(Hebrew)文化，而希腊文化中的希腊神话(Greek mythology)对英语影响非常广泛。
表现在词汇方面就是英语吸收了部分词汇并将之沿用，而这些词又或是可分解词或是可溯源词。
这些词源包含的信息不仅可帮助读者准确理解每个词的词义，增添记忆单词的乐趣，还能特别记录、描述英语与古希腊文化的差异和交流，具有很高的历史性和趣味性。
希腊神话以口头的形式流传了几百年，到了公元前7 世纪，随着希腊诗人赫西奥德的《神谱》、诗人荷马描写特洛伊战争的《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》等史诗的出现，希腊神话发展到了相当成熟的阶段。
后来，希腊人开始移居意大利，他们把灿烂的文化艺术传到了罗马。
古罗马是一个开放的民族，有吸取先进文化的非凡才能，很快，他们就把希腊神话吸收过来，并赋予每个神以一个罗马名字，这就是为什么“宙斯”又叫“朱庇特”，“丘比特”又是“厄洛斯”的原因了。
希腊罗马神话就像神话故事中的灵泉，滋养着英语的词汇，产生了许许多多美妙动人的词汇故事，增强了英语的生命力。
1、chaos（混乱）：来源于最原始的天神Chaos（卡厄斯），又称为“混沌之神”。
是他创造了天地，就和盘古开天辟地差不多。
2、geography（地理学）：英语中很多以Ge 开头的单词都和地球有关，geo-这个词根就是地球的意思，它来自大地之母该亚Gaia，例如：geography（地理学）/geometry（几何学——测量大地的科学）/George（最初含义是土地工作者）3、Atlas（地图册）：希腊神话中Titans(泰坦)巨神之一，因背叛Zeus(宙斯)被罚在世界的西边尽头以双肩扛天。
希腊神谱及简介.
希腊神谱及简介在希腊神话中,一切皆从混沌 (Chaos开始。
下面是希腊神话的十二主神:宙斯(zeus :★宙斯是克洛诺斯之子 , 万神之王 , 主管天空 . 希腊神话中的至高神,掌握雷电,所以又被称为雷神。
在母亲蕾亚的支持下, 杀了父亲克洛诺斯, 成为了第三代神王。
性格极为好色,常背着妻子赫拉与其他女神和凡人私通,私生子无数。
★宙斯的象征物是雄鹰、橡树和山峰; 他最爱的祭品是母山羊和牛角涂成金色的白色公牛。
★发迹史宙斯出生时 , 正值他父亲克洛诺斯当权 , 母亲瑞亚害怕宙斯被其父吞掉【注:由于某些原因 , 克洛诺斯不能让他的子女生存】 , 因此将他藏到克里特岛交给三位女仙抚养——在岛上 , 一只母山羊为他提供神圣的乳汁 , 一只雄鹰则给他带来仙酒;每当他哭叫时 , 瑞亚的仆人们就到摇篮边为宙斯跳舞 , 并用短剑敲击铜盾掩盖他的哭声 , 因此克洛诺斯一直未发现这一秘密。
宙斯在岛上一天天茁壮成长。
一天 , 他和母山羊玩耍时不小心推倒了她 , 摔断了一支美丽的羊角。
仙女阿玛尔忒亚赶忙为她治伤 , 宙斯则拾起这只羊角 , 赋予它神奇的魔力 , 并将它赠给了这名善良的仙女。

希腊罗马神话与西方文化英雄传说
英雄也有七情六欲， 儿女情 长起来更与常人无异。不同之处 在于，为了神圣的使命，他们能 够放弃一切，义无返顾地承担起 自己的责任。
他们或因性格缺陷或因神灵干 扰或因无意间触犯神灵，往往命运 多桀，在建功立业的同时受尽精神 或肉体的巨大的痛苦；但他们所建 立的伟业功勋是常人不可企及的， 但他们所承受的苦难与艰辛也是常 人难以想象的和难以忍受的；他们 与命运抗争，明知不可为为之，努 力探索人的生存意义！
英雄注定要作出一番惊天动
地的丰功伟业，但也要坚决地与 命运抗争、经历种种艰难困苦方 能完成神圣 使命。
英雄并不是完美的， 他们往往也具备常人没有 的缺陷或毛病。也正是这 些缺陷和毛病促成了他们 的悲剧性结局。
希腊神话中的英雄因 此鲜有善终者。也正是英 雄身上的悲剧因素，以及 他们与未知命运的不断抗 争，才充分地体现人之所 以作为人的求索精神和敢 于冒险的伟大意义。
别忘了，英雄也是 人，是人类的杰出代表， 在这个意义上，他们的行 为也就是人类行为的集中 体现。
波吕得克忒斯想借 此机会除掉珀耳修 斯。不料众神在保佑 他----宙斯的儿子。
神使赫尔墨斯指引 他找到了格赖埃 ---三个丑陋的老太婆。
这三个丑恶的老太婆一 共只有一只眼睛和一颗牙 齿，大家轮流使用。
珀耳修斯趁她们交换的 时候，夺走了她们的眼睛。 为了讨回眼睛，她们只好告 诉他如何找到墨杜萨。
然后雅典娜借给他一个 盾牌，其光滑的表面可用着 镜子，使珀耳修斯不必直视 墨杜萨；赫尔墨斯借给他一 双飞鞋与一把削铁如泥的宝 刀；哈得斯则借给他一顶可 以隐身的头盔和一个能伸缩 自如的袋子。

丘比特与普塞克
丘比特告诉普塞克，如果她在光亮 中见到自己，就会永远离开她。但 普塞克的两个姐姐妒忌她与神的恋 爱，就说她的爱人可能是个妖怪， 会把她吃掉。于是一天夜里，普塞 克趁丘比特熟睡之际，点上一支蜡 烛，去窥视情人的容貌。看到自己 的恋人竟然是美丽的小爱神，她激 动得浑身颤抖，一滴烛油掉在丘比 特身上，将他惊醒。看着惊喜交集 的普塞克，他忿然说到，怀疑与爱 情无法共存，然后匆匆离去。
普塞克拿到盒子后，在 好奇心的驱使下打开盒子， 谁知盒子里装着的不是美 貌，而是永恒的睡眠，普塞 克立刻昏昏睡去，没有神的 帮助将永远不会醒来。丘比 特及时赶到并将睡眠收入盒 中，然后用金箭轻触普塞克 唤醒了她。丘比特将普塞克 带上奥林匹斯山，朱庇特喜 欢这对小恋人，允许他们结 婚，并赐给普塞克仙液，使 她成为不朽的神灵。

可爱的小爱神
定备受爱情的煎熬，但这是一种 甜蜜的痛苦，因为爱情带来的不 仅仅是欢娱和幸福，更会带来忧 愁、痛苦，甚至死亡---连宙斯都 无法抗拒这种神奇的力量，阿波 罗也是中了厄洛斯的金箭才坠入 情网，疯狂地爱上达佛涅而不能 自拔；而达佛涅因为中了厄洛斯 的铅箭，所以害怕并厌恶爱情， 以至于宁愿变成月桂树也不愿成 为英俊潇洒、风流倜傥的阿波罗 的情侣。因此，古希腊人将爱情 解释为最可怕、而又最强大的自 然力量。
美惠三女神生性喜爱诗歌、 音乐和舞蹈，她们的生命洋溢 着青春的光芒；她们把欢乐散 播在人们的心中，甚至也把快 乐带到众神心里。她们也常在 一起随着美妙的音乐翩翩起 舞，为众神饮酒助兴。有时她 们也被列入阿波罗的随从之 中，因为一切迷人和美好的东 西----无论是感官的，还是精神 的----都来自她们或在她们的影 响下产生。因此，在荷马的笔 下，赫淮斯托斯的妻子是优雅 女神，而不是阿佛洛狄忒。

子藏在无法通行的密林里，让两 头凶猛的母狮子用自己的乳汁喂 养他。厄洛斯长大了，在世界上 到处飞翔，用自己的箭给别人带 去幸福和欢乐，也常常带去煎熬 和痛苦。因为他随身携带着金弓 和箭矢。箭有两种，作用刚好相 反：一枝点燃爱的火焰，一枝熄 灭爱的火焰；点燃爱情的箭是金 的，箭头锋利，闪闪发光，射中 了谁，谁就会热烈的恋爱，不能 自拔。熄灭爱情的箭是铅的，射 中了谁，谁就拒绝恋爱，讨厌爱 情，不可药救。厄洛斯使用起自 己的武器从不失手，被射中者一
缪斯九女神还在众神举行的 所有盛大庆典和欢筵上载歌载 舞、以娱众神。据说她们还参 加了佩琉斯与忒提斯、哈尔摩 尼亚与卡得摩斯的婚筵。这群 活泼的女神经常与美惠三女神 一道在山洞岩穴间或清凉的泉 水旁边娱乐消遣。
她们的形象是年轻漂亮的 少女，神态高贵文雅，是一群 圣洁的处女心目中占有重要的地位，他 们把自己的创作灵感归功于谬斯 女神的降临，在创作之前常常呼 唤谬斯以获得灵感。献给缪斯女 神的文艺作品更是数不胜数。

从古至今，还没有那个民族像古希 腊人这样坦白地看待爱情。他们认为爱 情是神圣的、不可亵渎的崇高情感；对 爱情的追逐是天经地义的事情；在他们 看来，爱情是不分身份、年龄、地位， 甚至是不分性别的。为了爱情，就是献 出身家性命也再所不惜；要爱，就要爱 得真诚；要爱，就要爱得彻底；要爱， 就要爱得坦荡；要爱，就爱它个死去活 来！这种对爱情的超然态度与后来欧洲 中世纪的宗教“禁欲”思想、与中国两
失去爱人的普塞克伤心欲绝， 她走遍世界，发誓要找回自己的心 上人。
最后，在农神德墨忒尔的指点 下，可怜的姑娘来到了维纳斯的 宫殿，请求她的宽恕。爱神怒气 难消，但勉强同意普塞克留下来 赎罪。维纳斯把普塞克当奴仆一 样驱使，迫使她完成凡人无法想 象的苦役。其中一件是要女孩在 一夜之间将一大堆混杂在一起的 五谷按种类分开。但蚂蚁同情她 的不幸，成千上万地赶来帮忙， 很快就替她完成了工作。在神灵 的帮助下，她设法完成了爱神派 给她的其他苦役。最后一件苦役 是要她去冥界，向冥后珀尔塞福 涅借来她盛放美貌的盒子。

关于谬斯的来源，品达罗斯是 这样叙述的：在战胜了提坦神之 后，天庭诸神请求天父宙斯考虑 一下，是否能创造出一种有生命 的物质，他们能通过歌唱艺术使 众神的丰功伟绩流芳千古。宙斯 答应了众神的要求，他与记忆女 神谟涅摩绪涅生下了九个谬斯女 神。她们出生并居住在奥林匹斯 山麓的庇厄里亚。她们是唱圣歌 的歌手，她们的赞美诗同样使宙 斯和众神欢欣鼓舞。她们的作用 涉及科学和艺术的各个领域。

美惠三女神
The Graces
人们普遍认为美惠女 神是三人：欧佛洛绪涅 （代表快乐）、塔利亚 （代表鲜花）、阿格莱 亚（代表光辉）。人们 通常把她们看着是宙斯 与奥克阿诺斯之女欧律 诺墨的女儿，后来的诗 人们则认为她们是狄奥 尼索斯和阿佛洛狄忒的 女儿。美惠三女神通常 出现在爱神阿佛洛狄忒 的随从里，跟她一起住 在奥林匹斯山上，为她 梳妆打扮、愉悦众神。
美惠女神给予人类使生活变 得美好、舒畅的一切东西，人们 因而崇拜她们。没有她们，就不 能真正地享受生活，所以即使是 快乐的众神没有了美惠三女神也 不愿入席；快乐的人们为了开心 的理由而聚在一起时，首先要向 她们祈祷，给她们献上第一杯美 酒。音乐、雄辩术、各类艺术和 诗歌都因为她们而更神圣。品达 罗斯就把自己的诗歌看着是她们 的礼物。智慧、勇敢、善行、与 感谢，总之，能带给人欢乐，受 人欢迎的一切高贵品德都来自美 惠三女神。
三位女神为了一个写有“献给 最

而帕里斯为了得到世间最美的女子 的爱宁愿放弃至高无上的权力和可 使他富甲天下的巨大财富；接下来, 希腊人为了抢回海伦而血溅特洛伊; 再后来，墨涅拉俄斯即海伦的前夫 高高兴兴地拉着她的小手回到希腊 又继续过起了自己的小日子。仿佛 那十年只是瞬间的离别，堆堆将士 的白骨也只不过是对美的献礼！据 说，特洛伊城破之日一位幸存的希 腊将士在目睹了海伦的 “倾城之

受住了爱神阿佛洛狄忒的种种 考验，被接受上了光辉灿烂的 奥林匹斯山，成为一位不朽的 神灵，晋升为众神的行列，这 足见爱情在希腊人心目着的地 位，也可让我们知晓爱情的巨 大力量。
希腊人对美也是极其宽容 的，尤其是对女性的美。他们 不在乎这种美是否会带来灾难, 不在乎为了追求这种美会付出 多大的代价。潘多拉是祸水， 她任然被接受了，因为她实在 是太美了，希腊人无法抗拒这 种美的巨大诱惑。
英文单词museum(博物馆)与 music(音乐)均源于muse(谬斯)。 博物馆原义为“谬斯之地”，即 “展示、研究谬斯技艺之地”。
另 外，Muse常指“诗人或艺术家的 灵感”或“激发灵感的人或物”。

丘比特与普塞克 Cupid and Psyche
这是世界上最著名的爱情 故事之一。
普塞克是一位貌若天仙 的公主，人们把她当着美神 维纳斯崇拜。这种做法激怒 了维纳斯，女神派出儿子丘 比特前去惩罚普塞克，要让 她爱上世界上最丑的男人。 然而，丘比特一见到普塞 克，自己却爱上了这个尤物。 他将普塞克带回自己的宫 殿，但只在黑夜里去与她相 爱。

英文单词erotic（色情的、性 欲)的、erotica(色情书、画 等)、eroticism(色情、性欲)、 eroticize(激起性欲)、 erotomania(色情狂)等都是由 Eros派生出来的。
