thetis，galate a and panope。it was nereus who advised heracles to seek
prometheus in the hero's search of the golden apples。 proteus was poseidon's
herdsman。 he was well known for two qualities ：the gift of prophecy and
the power to take various forms。at one time he was a lion with a curly
wavy hairs；at another he appeared in the shape of a wild boar；and still
another he stood a stately tree covered with rich leaves。when ，after
all these and many other changes，he failed to get rid of his questioner，
the god offered detailed answers。 纳鲁斯和普鲁吐斯在所有的小海神中，纳

Ares son of zeus and hera ，ares was appointed god of war。hewas terrible
and majestic，and his march shook the world。of all the major gods at olympus，
he was the most hateful ，loving struggle and war and ever thirsty for
blood 。on the other hand he signified courage and victory in battle ，
and was devoutly worshipped by soldiers going to war。prayers were addressed
to him before the war and spoils presented at his altar after it。 he was
the one god who ever had to submit to the power ofhis inferiors 。at one
time lack of tact and good udge ment led to his shame。he was fighting
with two giants ，and finding himself no match for the two monstrous creatures，
laid down hisarms and was imprisoned in chains。 he was set free in the
end by the artful hermes，but not before he had suffered all the humiliations。
he was as thoughtless as he was unkind 。a son of poseidon''s，attempting
to kidnap his daughter，made the war…god unhappy，so that he killed the
youth without he sitation。in retaliation，poseidon dragged him before
a group of athenian judges for trial。the court was held on a hill outside
athens。ares presented his case and was declared innocent 。 the hill was
ever after called areopagus ，“the hill of ares”，and the judges receivedthe
names of areopagitae。 阿瑞斯阿瑞斯，宙斯和赫拉之子，被委任为战神。他威
严而可怕。他一走动，整个世界都会摇晃。在奥林波斯山上的所有主神中，他是
最可恨的、最喜欢争斗和战争的神，并且永远对血腥有一种渴望。另一方面，他
代表勇气和胜利，被即将上战场的战士们疯狂地崇拜。这些崇拜者战前都要向他
祈祷，战后将战利品供奉在他的祭坛前。他是惟一一位曾经不得不屈于部下威力
的神。有一次，由于缺乏机智与正确判断使他蒙受羞辱。他和两个巨人决斗，发
现自己不能抵挡。他自动放下武器，被铐上铁链关了起来，最后他被老练的赫尔
墨斯救出来，但在此之前，他已饱尝了受侮辱的滋味。他做事不加思考，就像他
的残暴一样典型。波塞冬的一个儿子企图诱拐他的女儿，弄得战神非常不悦。于
是，他毫不留情地把他干掉了。为了替儿子报仇，波塞冬拉着阿瑞斯到雅典法官
面前要求审判战神。审判是在城外的一座小山上开庭的，阿瑞斯叙述了案情，最
后被判无罪。从那以后，这座山就称作雅典的最高法院，即“阿瑞斯之山”；而
出审的法官们被称作雅典最高法院的法官。

drank ，danced andsang in a careless way。the women bacchantes were infamous
for their excessive immodesty and disgraceful excitement 。in their madness
and intoxication they mitted cruel violence。 they tore orpheus ，the
gifted musician ，limb from limb。king pentheus of thebes，for frowning
on the worship of bacchus in his kingdom， suffered the same treatment
at the hands of a band of these fanatical women ，of whom his own mother
was the leader。 狄俄尼索斯狄俄尼索斯是酒神，他是宙斯和塞梅莱的儿子。当

在山中仙子们那里，他们精心地哺育他长大。在森林之神西莱娜斯的辅导下，他
掌握了有关自然的所有秘密以及酒的历史。他乘坐着他那辆由野兽驾驶的四轮马
车到处游荡。据说他曾到过印度和埃塞俄比亚。他走到哪儿，乐声、歌声、狂饮
就跟到哪儿。他的侍从们，被称为酒神的信徒，也因他们的吵闹无序而出名。他
们肆无忌惮地狂笑，漫不经心地喝酒、跳舞和唱歌。侍从中的妇女也因极端粗野、
得意起来有失体面而臭名昭著。当她们疯狂或是极度兴奋时，她们使用残忍的暴
力。她们曾把俄尔浦斯这位才华横溢的音乐家的手足撕裂。就连底比斯国王，仅

的惩罚。而带领这群狂热的女人胡作非为的就是狄俄尼索斯的母亲。
