Greece
Mythology
Story
,
this
book
is
full
of
wisdom
and
magic
of
colors.
It
narrated
the
story
of
deities
and
the
legend
of
heroes.
The
god’
s
story
involves
the
universe and humanity's origin, the
production of the god and the other contents. In
Greece
mythology
story,
whether
it
is
gods
or
deified
persons
(heroes),
all
of
them
have
human
emotions
and
human
imprint
in
their
thought.
They
have
the
same
emotion
of
human,
comparatively
closer
to
the
humanity.
From
the
supremacy
of
Zeus, down to the small god who does
not have the power and holds themselves aloof
from
the
world’
s
authority,
they
are
permitted
all
some
person's
emotion;
they
can
develop the relationship with other
gods even with the human beings. This is the most
distinction
from
the
Chinese
mythology story.
Although
the
Greek
Mythology
Story
mainly eulogizes the
deeds of heroes, I thought it also deeply expose
and criticize the
ugly of human nature.
In
the
introduction
of
this
book,
the
author
introduced
twelve
lord
gods
in
the
Olympics
Mountain to us. Each of the twelve lord gods has
their own family pedigree,
and
the
perpendicular
family
system,
they
govern
the
nature
and
each
kind
of
phenomenon
and
the
thing
of
life,
so
as
to
form
the
Olympus
god
system
and
the
entire phenomenon and things which take
the Zeus as the centre. The legend of heroes
origins
from
the
worship
to
the
ancestor,
it
was
one
kind
of
review
of
the
ancient
Greece
person
to
the
ancient
times
history.
The
legendary
heroes
mostly
are
the
generations
of
gods
and
men
or
the
demigod
heroes.
Their
physical
strength
is
excellent, and all of
them are extraordinary brave, which manifested the
heroic spirit
and
the
tenacious
will
of
human
to
conquer
the
nature,
and
they
become
the
embodiment
of
people's
collective
strength
and
wisdom
in
ancient.
The
hero
in
the
mythology
has the bright superhuman strength, but they are
not the god. Only few of
them can
ascend the heaven and became the god if they get
the confirmation of Zeus
through their
work hard. So when I read this book in the first,
I can not understand
what it
talks about, because it does not have any coherent
in the front chapters, but the
later
chapters are especially caught my eyes. After I
have read off this book, there are
still some one give me a deeply
impression.
The
first is the father of gods: Zeus. Zeus to my
first impression is that he is very
dissolute. Zeus is the father of all
things, and he has a phoenix from the ashes, no
one
can hurt him, so he can love any
girl he want, he betrayed his wife, but to lavish
the
love to the human and demigods
daughter, and some times his love can not bring
the
happiness
for
others,
on
the
contrary,
it
is
a
desert.
For
me,
the
most
deeply
impression is the
story of
Zeus and Io. Io is
princess of the original Greek people, and
she is very beautiful, when Zeus saw
her at the first eyes, he loved her. Zeus hoped Io
could become his wife and he used the
sweet language to lure and tease Io. But the
girl
was
very
afraid,
and
she
escaped
the
aspiration
of
Zeus,
because
Zeus
is
the
dominator of all things, Io could not
escape from the palm of Zeus, and at last, Io was
caught
by
Zeus.
Of
course, all these things
could not
got
away
from
the
mother of
gods
：
He
ra’s
eyes. Because of
Zeus
’
s disloyalty,
Hera
’
s suspicion was growing
with
each passing day. So when she knew
her husband did the betray things again, she was
very angry. In order to revenge her
husband, Hera changed Io into a snow-white heifer,
and set Argus with his hundred eyes to
watch her, which made Io could not reunite
with
her
family
and could
not
went
back her father
’
s
site.
The poor
Io could
to
do
nothing
but
to
send
out
the
voice
of
moo-moo.
At
last,
Zeus
was
not
really
cruel
enough to looked Io receives suffers,
and then he begged Hera to put her.
From this story,
I thought
of our life time.
First
the power
and
wealthy
can not
bringing the true love for people. Even
Zeus has the biggest power and wealthy, he
still
couldn
’
t
win
Io
’
s
heart.
Second
the
envy
of
women
can
destroy
the
reason
of
them,
and made them cruel. Hera
’
s
envy to Io made her forgot she was the mother of
gods and her duty. Last, to be a god,
his duty is to protect people from the disasters
rather than bring the desert for
people. If Zeus had not been pursued Io, Io could
not
suffered so much torments. Besides,
I understand that the gods have their own desires
and emotions.
Second
is
the
great
hero
Heracles.
Heracles
was
Zeus's
illegitimate
child.
Because Hera does not
know where Heracles comes from, she fed him and
made he
later
owned
immortality
body.
But
after
Hera
knew
the
Hercules
identity,
she
was
regretting
not
to
kill
him.
Because
Heracles
was
the
son
of
Zeus,
he
has
the
supernatural
power
and
the
strength
which
the
average
man
not
once
had
When
Heracles
faced to choose his own path of life; he
didn
’
t choose the happiness
goddess
but
the
virtue
goddess.
So
in
his
later
life,
he
did
many
benefit
things
for
people.
Especially the
Eurystheus assigned ten tasks to him, Hercules
fight the Nepali great
lion bravely,
kills hydra, and removes harmful things for the
people, which showed
the brave and
tenacious of Heracles. Later Eurystheus let
Heracles to capture the alive
roe on
the G
’
s law Mountain, and
the alive boar on the E law Mann Torres Mountain,
clean the barn in the Ogas, drives away
Ting method Ross lake queer bird, tames the
bull
in
Island
of
Crete,
overpowered
the
mare
in
Diomedes,
conquer
the
Amazon
people. Heracles
successfully accomplished the tasks, which are
prominent displays in
addition to wise
and wisdom of Heracles. Although Heracles got the
help from many
gods, it also more
display his fearless and wisdom. Later, Eurystheus
know none of
these things could stump
Heracles, and did not killed him, he let Heracles
to do the
matter which the mortal not
impossible to complete, it is let Heracles to hold
back the
giant herds of Geryones, pick
the Golden Apples of Hesperides and taken back to
the
hounds of hell Cerberus, but at
this time, Heracles accomplished the tasks again.
All
these things fully displayed
Heracles risk-taking, fearless and understood take
things
by strategy. At the same time,
Hercules do these matters unfolded the humanity
use
the tenacious will to defeat the
bad natural environment. But the ending of
Hercules is
actually
beyond
expectation,
he
finally
was
killed
the
toxicant
which
the
centaur
Nessus gave to his wife.
I can learn some philosophy
of life from the heroic deeds of Heracles. First
of
all,
when
we
choose
our
life
rode,
we
must
be
carefully
and
we
must
resist
the
temptation.
We
cannot
indulge
in
a
life
of
pleasure
and
comfort.
We
have
to
do
something
good
for
ourselves
and
others,
just
like
Heracles.
Second,
when
our
competitors
give
us
the
difficult
problem,
do
not
refuse
it,
because
it
is
a
good
opportunity
to
train
and
achieve
ourselves.
In
the
book
Heracles
is
not
willing
to
render
a
service
to
a
weak
people
than
himself,
but
he
can
not
disobey
the
oracle
which
made his heroic career. Third, from the death of
Heracles, we can learn that we
can
not
believe
stranger's
words
easily
and
also
can
not
believe
the
slanderous
talk
easily, or it will only
do something we regret.
