28. Hermes

Hermes is the son of Zeus and Maia. He was the cleverest of the Olympian gods. He was the messenger to all the other gods. He was the god of thieves and god of commerce. He was the guide for the dead to go to the underworld. He was also a patron of travellers. He always wore winged sandals, a winged hat and carried a magic wand.

Hermes stole Apollo’s cattle when he was a infant. One day, the little Hermes was hungry. He jumped out of his crib to hunt for food. He saw Apollo’s oxen grazing on a meadow and drove a number of them away. The clever infant tied tree branches around the feet of the cattle to make their footsteps dim. He killed two of these oxen and had a wonderful dinner. Then he hid the left cattle. Just when Apollo realized, Hermes jumped back into his crib and pretended to be innocent. Apollo took Hermes by the scruff of the neck and took him to their father, Zeus. Apollo said he was unhappy with the way he was being treated. Instead of punishing young Hermes, Zeus just laughed and found the matter funny. In reconciliation, little Hermes gave Apollo the lyre he had made out of a tortoise shell, and Apollo was so pleased with the gift that he gave his little brother with a magic stick.

28. 赫耳墨斯

赫耳墨斯是宙斯和玛雅的儿子。他是奥林匹斯山众神中最聪明的神;他是其他神的信使;是盗贼之神和贸易之神;是引导死人去冥府的向导;他也是旅行者的守护神。他常常穿着有翅膀的草鞋,戴着有翅膀的帽子,手上拿着魔杖。

当还是婴儿的时候,赫耳墨斯就偷了阿波罗的牛。一天,小赫耳墨斯非常饿,于是就跳出了自己的婴儿床去寻找食物。他看见阿波罗的牛在草地里吃草,于是他偷走了许多牛。聪明的小婴儿将树枝绑在牛脚上,让脚印变得模糊不清。他杀了其中两头牛,美餐了一顿,把剩下的牛藏了起来。当阿波罗发现的时候,他跳回了自己的婴儿床,假装自己是无辜的。阿波罗拎着赫耳墨斯的颈背去找他们的父亲宙斯理论。阿波罗说他对赫耳墨斯所做的事很不高兴。宙斯并没有惩罚小赫耳墨斯,反而大笑起来,他觉得这事很有趣。为了和解,小赫耳墨斯将他用乌龟壳做的琴送给阿波罗。阿波罗得到这件礼物非常高兴,并送给他的小兄弟一支魔杖。

29. Poseidon

Poseidon is the brother of Zeus and Hades. In Greek art, he rode a chariot that was pulled by a hippocampus or by horses that could ride on the sea. He was associated with dolphins and three-pronged fish spears (tridents). He lived in a palace on the ocean floor, made of coral and gems. His main domain was the ocean, and he was called the God of the Sea. Additionally, he was referred to as Earth-Shaker, due to his role in causing earthquakes, and has been called the tamer of horses.

Poseidon was ambitious and aggressive. Unhappy with the part of power given to him, he planned to throw down Zeus from his high position. The plan did not come off, and he was sent to serve a human being on earth. With the help of Apollo, he built the famous walls of Troy for the king.

Poseidon’s consort was Amphitrite, a nymph and ancient sea-goddess, daughter of Nereus and Doris. He was said to have had many lovers.

A mortal woman named Cleito once lived on an isolated island; Poseidon fell in love with the human mortal and created a dwelling sanctuary at the top of a hill near the middle of the island and surrounded the dwelling with rings of water and land to protect her. She gave birth to five sets of twin boys who became the first rulers of Atlantis.

Not all of Poseidon’s children were human. In an archaic myth, Poseidon once pursued Demeter. She spurned his advances, turning herself into a mare so that she could hide in a herd of horses; he saw through the deception and became a stallion and captured her. Their child was a horse, Arion, which was capable of human speech.

29. 波塞冬

波塞冬是宙斯和哈得斯的兄弟。在希腊艺术中,他驾着一匹由马头鱼尾的怪兽或马拉着的战车,这战车能在海上行驶。他与海豚和三叉鱼叉(三叉戟)有着密切的联系。他住在由珊瑚和宝石砌成的海底宫殿里;他的主要领地是海洋,所以被叫作海神。另外,他还被说成是大地的震撼者,因为他能引起地震;同时,他也被叫做马的驯服手。

波塞冬野心勃勃,而且好斗。他不满足于他所拥有的权力,他密谋把宙斯从他的宝座上赶下来。但是阴谋没有得逞,他被赶往人间服侍一位凡人。在阿波罗的帮助下,他替国王修筑了著名的特洛伊城墙。

波塞冬的妻子是安菲特里忒,一位古海神、小仙女,是涅柔斯和多丽丝的女儿。据说波塞冬有很多情人。

一位名叫克莱托的凡人曾住在一座孤岛上,波塞冬爱上了这位凡人,在岛中央的小山顶上为她建了一座圣所,并用水和陆地环绕着,以此来保护她。她生了5对双胞胎男孩,他们成为亚特兰蒂斯的第一批统治者。

并非所有波塞冬的孩子都是人。在一古老的神话中,波塞冬曾经追求得墨忒耳。她傲慢地拒绝了他的追求,把自己变成一匹母马,这样就可以藏在马群中。但波塞冬识破了这个骗术,变成一匹公马,并逮到了她。他们的孩子是一匹马,名为阿瑞翁,具有人类说话的能力。
