1, Pandora's Box
Pandora's Box, also known as Pandora's Box, Pandora's Box, which is a classic myth of ancient Greece. Pandora is the first human woman created by Zeus, mainly to retaliate against humans. Because Prometheus, one of the gods, cared too much about human beings, so he pissed off Zeus.
Zeus (Zeus) first ordered the god of fire, Hephaestus (Hephaestus), the use of water and soil synthesis and mixing, according to the image of the goddess to make a lovely woman; and then ordered the goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite (Aphrodite), drenched in hormones to make men crazy.
Hera gave her self-confidence and self-esteem, the goddess Athena (Athena) to teach women to weave, creating a variety of colors of the beautiful clothes weaving, so that women look more bright and charming; the messenger of the gods Hermes (Hermes) to teach her the gift of language.
So Zeus injected a malevolent bane behind this beautiful image. A complete woman was finally finished. The gods helped her dress, put on her hairband (which was the work of Hephaestus, the god of fire), and her necklace with a beaded chain, dainty as a bride.
Hamish said, "Let's call this woman Pandora, a gift from the gods to humanity." The gods agreed with his suggestion. In ancient Greek, Pan means all and Dora is a gift.
"Pandora" means "the woman with all the gifts". After Pandora was created, Zeus ordered Hermes to bring her to Prometheus' brother, Epimetheus, the Hind.
Because he knew that Prometheus (meaning: the seer) would not accept his gift, he gave it to Epimetheus at first Epimetheus, who was foolish by nature, and Pandora's beauty and seduction, accepted her.
2. Garden of Eden
The Garden of Eden is the paradise on earth, according to the Bible - Old Testament - Genesis, God - Jehovah according to his own image created man Adam, the ancestor of mankind, and then one of Adam's ribs to create a woman Eve, and placed the first man and woman to live in the Garden of Eden.
The Garden of Eden means paradise in the original language of the Bible. The Bible records Eden as being in the east, and the poet Alighieri Dante's Divine Comedy places Eden at the summit of Mount Purgatory. Four rivers flowed from the land of Eden and nourished the Garden.
Mankind's ancestors committed original sin by stealing the forbidden fruit and were exiled by God, an event known as Paradise Lost. Accordingly, mankind was redeemed and returned to Paradise after the Judgment of Armageddon, an event known as Paradise Regained.
3. Brahma's Creation
A long time ago, there was no sun, no moon, and no stars in the world, just a vast ocean. One day, a seed drifted into the water, and gradually turned into a golden egg (the Indians called Brahma egg). It floated on the water year after year, day after day.
Suddenly, one day, this Brahma egg cracked open, and Brahma, the originating god of all things, the god of creation: the god of art, leapt out of it. He had four long arms, four huge hands, and four yellow and black faces, facing in four directions: southeast, west, and two than.
It is said that they symbolize the four Vedas: the Rig Veda, the Hama Veda, the Yajo Veda, and the Adapa Veda; and also the four castes: the Brahmins, the Kshatriyas, the Vaishyas, and the Shudras. As a result of spending too much time in the golden egg.
Brahman became angry, so he raised his hand and pushed the upper part of the golden egg upward for 18,000 miles, which was later to become heaven; and with another stamp of his foot, he pressed the lower part of the golden egg downward for 25,000 miles, which turned into the vast and broad earth; and in the middle, he formed the clear, empty sky.
Next, Brahma determined an orientation, distinguished between year, month, and day, and created language. Having done this, Brahma was content to lie down on the earth he had created and fall asleep. But as he lay down, he inadvertently stomped hard on the spot where he stood.
These earths then sank under the water and became the seabed of today. The unevenness of the seabed is the result of the difference in the strength of Brahma's ten toes. I do not know how many years of sleep, Brahma finally woke up son. He stretched his back and decided to walk around, so he put on his white clothes.
Wearing a white garland, holding a magic weapon, rosary beads, lotus flower and a book in his hands, he rode a swan and set off on his way, he walked around and stopped and stopped and stopped, and finally realized that there was only water in the world except for him, and Brahma thought: "This world is too cold and bleak.
Is it possible for me to be in the company of water every day? Wouldn't that be lonely and isolated? No, I want to create, create beings like me, I want this land to have 'me' everywhere." With this thought, Brahma began to exert the power of God.
So out of his heart jumped the first son, Morigi, and out of his eyes leapt the _second_ son, Adri, and out of his mouth sprang the third son, Angelo, and out of his ears crept the fourth son, Tonic Privetti; and the fifth son, Tonic Maharaja, and out of his snout-solitary fell the sixth son, Krotu.
On the right thumb grew the son Daksha, and on the left thumb the daughter Vrini. After an unknown period of time, Brahma's anger-filled forehead gave birth to his last son, Rudra, the god of destruction. He was usually always immovable on the side of the gods.
But secretly he often accepted the incense of some devas and became their backer. So then he became Shiva, one of the three great gods of Zi, who not only has a wonderful appearance without research or end, but also has three eyes. When he was angry.
The one eye on forehead one or two would then spew out three flavors of fire and burn everything. Soon after, Brahma's first son, Moritsuki, created the birth lord, Kayapa; Adri created the son, Dharma, the god of justice, and Suma, the god of the moon; and Angelo became the guru and priest of all the gods of the heavens who were the lords of Jupiter.
He made the Lord of Sacrifice and became the progenitor of the whole family of Angelo; Corelli Qu grew out of the skin of Brahma, whose son, Ushanas, or Taibhaji, was extremely intelligent and skillful in magic and conjuring. He was employed as a tutor and priest by Asura.
Later, Brahma's son Dhari and his daughter Rini were married and had seventy daughters. They married thirteen of them to the immortal Kasyapa; the other thirty-seven were promised to Suma, the moon god. Later they all became the twenty-seven constellations in the sky.
The rest were also married to the gods of the sky or to Dasha. The sons born to Kasyapa and Daksha's eldest daughter, Dies, and second daughter, Tannu, were all valiant and intelligent. They not only knew numerous spells and were able to change their forms at will, but also used many magical arts.
They possessed countless treasures of gold and silver. They also built three cities of gold, silver, and iron in the sky, on the earth, and under the earth. They are known as Ditya and Tanapa and are also collectively known as Asuras. Aditi, the third daughter of Kasyapa and Dasha, gave birth to twelve celestial gods.
Most of them were also quite remarkable. For example, Mithra and Vairochana, the gods of the ocean, Tushido, the great god of craftsmen, Surya, the god of the sun, Tendi, Indra, the god of thunder and lightning, Vayu, the god of the winds, and Pushan, the god of the road, to name a few.
Particularly the youngest son Vishnu, he was valiant and good, had many incarnations and reincarnations, in addition to the evil and good war, to save the gods of heaven and mankind, and became one of the most famous of the three major gods of protection. Since then, Brahma has been feverishly creating the world with his descendants, saving or destroying it.
4, Achilles' heel
Legend in ancient Greek mythology, Achilles is the son of Poseidon, the hero of Homer's epic, his mother had him immersed in the River Styx to make him invulnerable to swords and spears. But because the Styx was fast-flowing and his mother was too afraid to let go of his heel when she squeezed it, the heel was the most vulnerable part of his foot.
A deadly place. Thus the root of the trouble was planted. Growing up, Achilles fought valiantly, but finally gave way to a weakness, and in the Trojan War, Achilles killed Hector, the Trojan prince, thus angering Apollo, Hector's protector.
So the sun god shot Achilles in the heel with a poisoned arrow, sending the warrior to his death. This is the origin of the proverb "Achilles' heel", which is still passed down in Europe.
5. The Sword of Damocles
Dionysius (430-367 B.C.), the king of Syracuse in the eastern part of Sicily in the fourth century B.C., fought against the power of the aristocracy and established an Athenian-style democratic regime, but met with dissatisfaction and opposition from the aristocrats, which made him feel that although he had a great deal of power, his position was unreliable.
On one occasion he spoke to his favorite, Damocles, about this problem, and made his views known to him in a figurative way. To satisfy the greed of his favorite Damocles a little, he entrusted him with the palace and gave him full authority to fulfill any of his desires.
This vanity-seeking, hot-headed snob, Damocles, while at a great feast, looked up and saw, hanging heavy and upside down under the ceiling above his seat, a long, sharp sword, with its hilt tied only by a piece of horsehair, which looked as if it were about to fall on his head, and was so frightened that he fled from his seat.
At this point King Dionysius then stepped forward and said, "This sharp sword (on Damocles' head) is a symbol of the danger that threatens the king every minute, and as for the king's happiness and well-being, they are but outward phenomena."
