  • 看古希腊神话故事学英语

    看古希腊神话故事学英语

    神话是远古人类思想与生活的反映,是原始信仰的产物。希腊神话故事经历了丰富的时代变迁和历史风云,几乎成为希腊乃至欧洲一切文学和艺术活动的基本素材。马克思曾说:“希腊神话不只是希腊艺术的宝库,而且是它的土壤”。希腊神话也是欧美文艺取之不尽的艺术源泉。希腊神话具有无穷的认识价值和永久的审美魅力。希腊神话还为现代奥林匹克运动会的形成奠定了基础。在古希腊这个神话王国中,优美动人的神话故事和曲折离奇的民间传说为古奥运会的起源蒙上一层神秘的色彩。那些经久不衰的神话故事让我们着迷,那些如雷贯耳的名字至今仍被我们尊为“大师”。时隔千年,希腊神话还对我们产生影响。
