the palace of olympus یکشنبه بیست و یکم آبان 1385 10:49

 

The twelve most important gods and goddesses of ancient Greece, were called the Olympians. They were part of the same family and lived together in an enormous palace, set well above the usual level of clouds at the top of Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece.
They met in the Council Hall from time to time to discuss mortal affairs, such as which army should win, whom to punish and who to reward. But for the most part they were to busy bickering among themselves to take much notice of mortal affairs.

Zeus

Hera

Poseidon

Demeter

Hephaestus

Athene

Aphrodite

Ares

Apollo

Artemis

Aermes

Hestia

 

King Zeus had an enormous throne of polished black Egyptian marble, decorated in gold. Seven steps led up to it, each of them enamelled with one of the seven colours of the rainbow. A bright blue covering above showed that the whole sky belonged to Zeus alone; and on the right arm of his throne perched a ruby-eyed golden eagle clutching jagged strips of pure tin. A purple rams fleece covered the cold seat. Zeus used it for rainmaking in times of drought. One of Zeus emblems was the eagle, another was the woodpecker.

Queen Hera had an ivory throne, with three crystal steps leading back, and a full moon hung above it. Hera sat on a white cowskin, which she used for magical rainmaking if Zeus could not be bothered stopping a drought. Her emblem was the cow, the most motherly of animals; but, not wanting to be thought of as plain-looking and placid as a cow, she also used the peacock and the lion.

 

These two thrones looked down the hall towards the door leading into the open courtyard. 
Along the sides of the hall stood ten other thrones - five for goddesses on Hera's side, five gods on Zeus's.

 

Poseidon, god of the seas and rivers, had the second-largest throne. It was of grey-green white-streaked marble, ornamented with coral, gold, and mothers of pearl. The arms were carved in the shape of sea beasts, and Poseidon sat on sealskin. He was married to Amphitrite, the former Sea-goddess, and allowed him to take over all her titles. His weapon was a trident with which he could stir up the sea. As his emblem Poseidon chose the horse, an animal which he pretended to have created.

Opposite Poseidon sat his sister Demeter, goddess of all useful fruits, grasses and grains. Her throne of bright green malachite was ornamented with ears of barley in gold, and little golden pigs for luck. Demeter's emblem was the poppy, which grows red as blood among the barley.

Next to Poseidon sat Hephaestus, as son of Zeus and Hera. Being the god of goldsmiths, jewellers, blacksmiths, masons, and carpenters, he had built all these thrones himself, and made his own masterpiece of every different metal and precious stone to be found. The seat could swivel and the arms could move up and down, and the whole thing could move along automatically wherever he whished, like the three-legged golden tables in his workshop. His emblem was the quail, a bird that does a hobbling dance in springtime.

Opposite Hephaestus sat Athene, Goddess of Wisdom, who first taught him how to handle tools, and knew more than anyone else about pottery, weaving and all useful arts. Her silver throne had golden basketwork at the back and sides, and a crown of violets, made from blue lapis lazuli set above it. Its arms ended in grinning Gorgons' heads. Athene was also a battle goddess, but never went to war unless forced, and when she fought she always won. She chose the wise owl as her emblem.

Next to Athene sat Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty. Aphrodite's throne was silver, inlaid with beryls and aquamarines, the back shaped like a scallop shell, the seat made of swan's down, and under her feet lay a golden mat - an embroidery of golden bees, apples, and sparrows. Aphrodite's emblem was the dove.

Opposite Aphrodite sat Ares, Hephaestus's tall, handsome, boastful, cruel brother, who loved fighting for its own sake. Ares throne was built of brass, strong and ugly - those huge brass knobs in the shape of skulls, and the worst of taste, yet Aphrodite thought him wonderful. His emblems were a wild boar and a bloodstained spear.

Next to Ares sat Apollo, the god of music, poetry, medicine, archery, and young unmarried men. His highly polished golden throne had magical inscriptions carved all over it, a back shaped like a lyre, and a python skin to sit on. Above hung a golden sun-disk with twenty-one rays shaped like arrows, because he pretended to manage the Sun. Apollo's emblem was a mouse; mice were supposed to know all secrets.

Opposite Apollo sat his twin sister Atemis, goddess of hunting and of unmarried girls, from whom he had learned medicine and archery. Her throne was pure silver, with a wolfskin to sit on, and the back shaped like two date palms, one on each side of a new moon boat. She chose as her emblem the she-bear, the most dangerous of all wild animals in Greece.

Last in the row of gods sat Hermes, a son of Zeus. Hermes was the god of merchants, bankers, thieves, fortune tellers, and heralds. His throne was cut out of a single piece of solid grey rock, the arms shaped like rams' heads, and a goatskin for the seat. On its back he had carved a swastika, this being the shape of a fire-making machine invented by him - the fire drill. Hermes also invented the alphabet; and one of his emblems was the crane, because cranes fly in a V - the first letter he wrote. Another of Hermes's emblems was a peeled hazel stick, which he carried as the messenger of the Olympians.

Last in the row of goddesses sat Zeus's eldest sister, Hestia, goddess of the Home: on a plain, uncarved, wooden throne, and a plain cushion woven of undyed wool. Hestia, the kindest and most peaceable of all the Olympians, hated the continual family quarrels, and never troubled to choose any particular emblem of her own. She used to tend the charcoal hearth in the middle of the Council Hall.

leda & swan who is zeus پنجشنبه یازدهم آبان 1385 19:4

Leda

 

by Jamie Cisco

 

Leda was the daughter of Thestius and the wife of Tyndareus . She has been known as the Queen of Sparta. Leda was seduced by Zeus when he came to her in the form of a swan. Leda gave birth to an egg. From it hatched the Dioscuri , the twins Castor and Pollux. With Zeus she also had Helen and with Tyndareus she had Clytemnestra.

Clytemnestra was the wife of Agamemnon , king of Mycenae. She was one of the tragic women in the Trojan War. While Agamemnon was away in the war, Clytemnestra took Aegisthus  as her lover, and together they plotted to kill Agamemnon when he returned. One of her reasons was her husband's sacrifice of their daughter. When Agamemnon returned Clytemnestra pretended to greet him. Later, while Agamemnon bathed, Clytemnestra murdered him. She, herself was killed by her son Orestes .

Helen of Troy was said to be the most beautiful woman in Greece and the major cause of the Trojan War. While still a young girl, Helen was carried off by an Athenian hero, Theseus. Before any harm could come to her the Dioscuri rescued her. Later, she was sought after by almost every prince in Greece, but she finally married Menelaus, king of Sparta, who was the richest of the suitors. Helen and Memelaus had one child. Her name was Hermione.

Helen and Menelaus' marriage was threatened when Paris, a Trojan prince, fell madly in love with Helen. Taking advantage of Menelaus' absence from the palace, Paris abducted Helen and then left for Troy. This was the cause of the Trojan War. All of the other prices had promised Tyndareus, Helen's father, that he would in case of need, come to the aid of the lucky man who became Helen's husband. Faithful to their oaths, all the princes of Greece took power under the command of Agamemnon to avenge the outrage done to Menelaus.

For ten years the battle raged before the walls of Troy. Finally the Greek warriors were able to enter the city by hiding in the hollow flanks of a large wooden horse (see: Trojan horse) which the Trojans themselves had put in the city. Troy was conquered and set on fire. Helen was returned to Menelaus and they were reconciled. After Menelaus' death, Helen was put among the stars with Dioscuri.

Castor and Pollux had a magnificent temple erected in their honor. They accompanied the Roman army on its campaigns and during battles were seen among the cavalry. They also protected sailors and travelers at sea. At Ostia they calmed a storm which was not allowing ships loaded with corn from entering port. Castor and Pollux carried off the two daughters of Leucippus and married them. This was the reason for their quarrel between Idas and Lynceus, who were also seeing the two young women. Pollux killed Lynceus while Castor was mortally wounded by Idas. Pollux wept over the body of his brother; for being himself immortal he could not follow Castor to the Kingdom of Hades.

"In their quality of marine god they naturally presided over commerce." In the second century CE they were incorporated in funeral rituals and their popularity was so great that even Christians did not deny that they were symbols of life and death.

تفاوت اسمی چند خدا در یونان و روم شنبه پانزدهم مهر 1385 9:45

دیانیسوس یکشنبه نوزدهم شهریور 1385 23:29

 

DIONYSUS (dye-oh-NYE-sus; Roman name Bacchus) was the god of wine. Dionysus was the son of Zeus and the mortal heroine Semele.

Dionysus rescued Ariadne after she had been abandoned by Theseus. Dionysus also saved his mother from the Underworld, after Zeus showed her his true nature as storm god and consumed her in lightning.

It was Dionysus who granted Midas the power to turn whatever he touched into gold, then was kind enough to take the power back when it proved inconvenient.

 

دیانیسوس(ملقب به باکوس) الاهه شراب است. دیانیسوس فرزند زئوس و قهرمان فنا پزیر سمل می باشد.

 

دیانیسوس بعد از زندانی شدن اریادن توسط تیسوس او را نجات داد و همچنین مادر خود را زمانی که زئوس طبیعت واقعی خود را به او نشان داد و به وسیله ساعقه به او اسیب رساند از سرزمین دنیای زیر نجات داد.

 

میداس به وسیله دیانیسوس مجهز به این قدرت شد که هر چیزی را که لمس می کرد بلافاصله به طلا تبدیل می شد و بعد هم به این اندازه مهربان بود که این قدرت را از میداس بازپس بگیرد.

ارس جمعه دهم شهریور 1385 1:35

ARES (AIR-eez; Roman name Mars) was the god of war, or more precisely of warlike frenzy. Though an immortal deity, he was bested by Heracles in battle and was almost killed when stuffed into a jar by two giants. When another hero wounded him during the Trojan War, he received scant sympathy from his father Zeus.
In appearance, Ares was handsome and cruel. He is often depicted carrying a bloodstained spear. His throne on Mount Olympus was said to be covered in human skin.
The Roman god Mars, with whom Ares was identified, was the father of Romulus and Remus, the mythological founders of Rome. Thus he was more important to the Romans than his Greek counterpart. He was also more dignified

 

ارس (با نام رومی مارس) الهه جنگ یا به زبان ساده تر دیوانه ی جنگ بود . علی رغم اینکه او یک الهه جاودانه بود در جنگ با هرکول مغلوب شد و زمانی که به وسیله دو غول به درون یک کوزه فشرده شد تقریبا به حالت مرگ رسیده بود. زمانی که او به وسیله یک قهرمان دیگر در جنگ تروا مصدوم شد از ناحیه پدر خود زئوس مورد غضب واقع شد.

در ظاهر و چهره ارس خوش ظاهر و جدی و خشن بود. در اغلب تصاویر او به همراه یک نیزه اغشته به خون تصویر شده است. گفته می شود که قلمرو او در کوه المپیا پوشیده از پوست انسانها میباشد.

مارس الهه رومی که با ارس مطابقت دارد پدر رومولوس و رموس (یابندگان افسانه ای روم ) می باشد. بنابر این ارس برای رومی ها بسیار با ارزش تر و مهمتر از همتای یونانی خود میباشد

APHRODITE یکشنبه بیست و نهم مرداد 1385 22:2

 

  

APHRODITE (a-fro-DYE-tee; Roman name Venus) was the goddess of love, beauty and fertility. She was also a protectress of sailors.

The poet Hesiod said that Aphrodite was born from sea-foam. Homer, on the other hand, said that she was the daughter of Zeus and Dione.

When the Trojan prince Paris was asked to judge which of three Olympian goddesses was the most beautiful, he chose Aphrodite over Hera and Athena. The latter two had hoped to bribe him with power and victory in battle, but Aphrodite offered the love of the most beautiful woman in the world.

This was Helen of Sparta, who became infamous as Helen of Troy when Paris subsequently eloped with her. In the ensuing Trojan War, Hera and Athena were implacable enemies of Troy while Aphrodite was loyal to Paris and the Trojans.

 

افردیت(ملقب به ونوس) الهه عشق زیبایی و باروری .او همچنین محافظ دریانوردان میباشد
هسوید شاعر معتقد است که افردیت از کف حاصل از برخورد موج به ساحل متولد شده است. از طرفی هومر گفته است که او دختر زئوس و دیان میباشد

زمانی که از اشراف زاده تروجان یعنی پاریس خواسته شد که بین سه تن از الهه ها زیباترین را انتخاب کند او افردیت را بر دو نفر دیگر یعنی اتنا و هرا برتری داد . این سه نفر هر کدام وعده هایی به پاریس داده بودند . هرا و اتنا قول قدرت و پیروزی در جنگ و افردیت وعده عشق زیباترین دختر جهان را به او داده بود.

او هلن اهل اسپارتا بود ولی زمانی که به همراه پاریس متواری شد به هلن اهل تروجان مشهور شد . در جنگ متعاقب این فرار آتنا و هرا دشمنان قسم خورده تروی بودند در حالیکه افردیت حامی پاریس و تروی بود
