Heracles
徐林： Greek hero Heracles
was son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmena, who is the
Queen of Thebes. Being afraid of Hera ,the
wife of Zeus,she named the baby Heracles
which
means
Heracles was just a baby in the cradle,
she sent two snakes which the child killed, one in
each hand. The great Prophet Tiresias
predicted the future of the hero like this:When
the
little guy grow up,he would kill many
monsters ,which will help him become the great
Greek hero.
Heracles was still a
child, he studied knowledge, music, the skill of
fight and the
usage of weapons from many
heros,including the son of Apollo,Linos,who was
killed by
this reason,Heracles was punished
to he was only eighteen he
killed a lion,the
head of which was made to a helmet,and for the
rest of his life he would
carry its skin.
day, Heracles was sitting at a crossroads and
he saw two beautiful girls passing,
the one
was the Evil Godness and the other was the Virtue
Godness.
The Evil Goddess said to
Heracles:
the most comfortable path,wide and
straight where he will enjoy life and
wealth,because
I can provide the right to
enjoy everthing for my friend.
The Virtue
Goddess said to Heracles:
sharp stones and
thorns, which will be crossed with difficulty, but
in the end you would
win the love and
recognition.
Hercules eventually followed
the path of Virtue that gave him glory and
recognition for
his good deeds.
马畅：There are many stories about Heracles.
Thanks to him the gods defeated the giants,
since they could only beat them if a mortal
would fight with them. As a youth he defeated
the enemies of Thebes, and as a reward,he
married the princess of Thebes ,Megara, who
born three babies for Hera made the hero
insane for a while, which made him
murder his
children.
Ready to commit suicide after
killing his children, he was told not to do so by
the oracle
in Delphi and to purify himself by
serving the king of Mycenae and to do whatever the
king told most famous stories about Heracles
are about his twelve
will be introduced by my
chang.
The first labour was to kill the
Nemean lion, which he did with his bare hands.
This
frightened the king so much that he would
not let Heracles inside Mycenae walls, the
hero had to show his trophy outside the walls.
The second labour was to fight the
Hydra, an immortal monster with nine heads. If a
head was cut off, two new would grow out in
its place. Heracles defeated the Hydra with
the help of his friend Iolaus. Each time a
head would be cut off, Iolaus burnt the neck
with fire, and so no new heads could grow out.
When all the heads were off they buried
the
monster under a pile of stones. Heracles dipped
his arrows in the Hydra's blood,
making them
lethal.
The third labour was the capture
of the the deer of Kyrenia, which had feet of
brass and
horns of gold, he chased it for a
whole year and brought it alive to Eurystheus in
Mycenae.
The fourth labour was the
capture of a terrible wild boar which lived on the
mountain
Erymanthos in North Arcadia.
The fifth labour was to clean king Augeias'
stable in Elia on the Peloponnese. The stable
was huge and full of dung, and Heracles
cleaned it by leading two rivers into it.
The sixth labour was to kill the monster birds
at Stymphalos (Stymphalia) in North
Arcadia,
which he did with the help of Athena.
舒天泽：The seventh labour was to capture the
Cretan bull, which either was the father
of
the Minotaur or the bull that had taken Europa on
its back. Heracles brought it to
Mycenae, but
let it go, and it wandered off to Attica where
Theseus later had to fight it.
The eight
labour was to capture king Diomedes of Trace's man
eating horses. Heracles
killed the king and
captured the horses, and founded the city Abdera.
The ninth labour was to get the girdle of
the Amazon queen Hippolyte. He either
defeated
her or she gave it to him willingly.
The
tenth labour was to bring back the herd of the
giant Eurytion on the island Erytheia.
On his
way to this western place by Oceanos, he made a
passage through the Atlas
mountains, setting
up the pillars of Heracles - today's Gibraltar. He
made it to the island
in the cup of the
sungod, and killed Eurytion and his dog Orthros.
The herd he brought
with him back to Greece.
The eleventh labour was to bring back the
golden apples of the Hesperides. According to
one version he killed the dragon that guarded
the apples and took them. According to
another
he went to Atlas, the father of the Hesperides.
Heracles took the sky on his
shoulders while
Atlas went to get the apples, but when he returned
he did not want to
take over the burden of the
sky again. Heracles then told him to hold the sky
only for a
short moment while he put a pillow
on his shoulders, and so tricked Atlas into taking
his
position again.
The
twelfth, and final, labour was to bring back the
three headed dog Cerberus, which
guarded
Hades, which he did. Cerberus was son of Typhon
and Echidna, who had
brothers the two headed
Orthrus, the dog of Geryon and the Hydra.
After these labours Heracles had made his
penance, and he married Deianeira, whose
father was Poseidon's son Antaeus.
When Heracles killed the centaur Nessus for
attacking his wife, the dying centaur told
Deianeira something that would cause
Heracles`s death like that,
my blood and dip a
tunic in it. if you ever needed to secure
Heracles's love,all you had to
do was to make
him wear the es later wore it the centaur's blood
turned out to be poison, and he could not get
it off, slowly poisoning him to death and
causing him great pain.
Heracles
then climbed the funeral pyre and was deified,
marrying Hebe on Mt.
Olympus,and he became the
Hercules.
