1, Eris
Eris is the goddess of discord in Greek mythology, and she is known as RDIA in Roman mythology. Homer and Hesiodus have different portrayals of her: in the Iliad she is the sister of Ares, the god of war, and therefore the daughter of Zeus and Hera, who spreads bitterness and hatred between the opposing sides; In "The Divine Genealogy" and "Work and Time", she is the daughter of Nyx and Kronos. Resentful that she was not invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, she left behind an inscription inscribed "To the most beautiful" (?kaλ?λa???). tw). It caused a series of disputes.
In Greek mythology, Eris was the goddess of strife and discord (the goddess of misfortune). Legend has it that King Peleus married the goddess of the sea and invited all the gods to the wedding. Except for Eris. So, determined to take revenge, Eris secretly threw a golden apple among the cheerful guests, and wrote, "To the most beautiful woman." ”
Hera, the queen of the gods, Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, all felt that they were the most beautiful and deserved the golden apple, so they quarreled. The three goddesses quarreled from the holy mountain to the bottom of the mountain and met the Trojan prince Paris in shepherd's attire. So please adjudicate. In order to obtain this golden apple, they promised each other wealth, honor, and beauty. Paris wanted the most beautiful woman in the world, so he gave the apple to Aphrodite.
The most beautiful woman in the world was Helen, Queen of Sparta, who, with the help of Aphrodite, was lured away by Paris. The Spartans, of course, were not resting on their laurels. They organized a coalition of Greeks to expedition to Troy, and the gods of heaven were divided into two factions to help them fight. After ten years of war, the Greek coalition finally conquered the city of Troy and destroyed it.
2, Moros
In ancient Greek mythology, Moros (ancient Greek: m?po?, meaning "fate" or "doomed" and "stupid") was the daimon (jinn) who was the priest of fate. His other name is Oletros. Moros' name is actually a masculine form of the name of Moirai, the goddess of fate.
Hesiod first mentions Moros in the Theogony. In Hesiod's writing, Moros was born to Nix, the goddess of the night (and thus the brother of Ker, Tanatos, and Hypnos), and had no father. The pseudo-Cycinus and Cicero say that Moros' father was Erebos (whose mother was still Nix).
Same with the. Moros is the personification of fate, the embodiment of the doomed fate; He drove people to the end of their lives, and even Zeus could not violate his will.
3, Moilai
In comparison. The Moirai is not really fateful, but as an assistant to Moros. The Moirai themselves did not fully understand the fate of the spun thread, and it was also changeable (Apollo persuaded them to change the fate of Admetus' death, and Hercules later threatened the god of death Thanatos to save Alkstis, who had died in his place). But Moros is different, he is the personification of fate (primarily destiny that is coming to an end) itself, in control of everything (animate, inanimate). including all the works of God and their fate to the end. Moros is the strongest god, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent.
4. Golden apple
On the third day of the Hong Kong fair, there was nothing but a golden apple in the venue, but no one dared to take this lightly, because it was the legendary golden apple in Greece.
The golden apple is a famous treasure in Greek mythology. Golden apples first appeared at the wedding of Zeus and Hera. Gaia, the goddess of the earth, brought back a leafy tree from the west coast for Zeus and Hera as a wedding gift. The trees were full of golden apples. Zeus sent four daughters of the god of the night, called Hesperides, to guard the sacred garden where the golden apples were planted. In addition, there are 100 dragons Ladong to help them keep watch.
The eleventh of the twelve feats of Hercules on earth was to obtain the golden apple guarded by Hesperides and the dragon. Hercules, under the guidance of the goddess of mountains, forests and waters, subdued the old river god Nereus and asked him where to find the golden apple. On his way to the Golden Apple, Hercules also freed Prometheus from the Caucasus Mountains. Prometheus directed him to the place where Atlas, another Titan, carried the blue sky. Hercules asked Atlas to fetch the golden apple for him, and during this time, he would carry the blue sky for him. Atlas agreed, and after slaying the dragon, deceiving the fairies guarding it, and retrieving the golden apple, he was unwilling to bear the burden of carrying the sky. Hercules pretended to put on a cushion before he could continue to carry the blue sky, and asked Atlas to take his place for a while. While Atlas had taken the load, Hercules had already picked up the golden apple and walked away.
The most important appearance of the golden apple was at the wedding of the human hero Paleus and the goddess of the sea, Thetis. All the gods were invited to the wedding, but Eris, the goddess of discord, was not invited. Holding a grudge, Eris presented a golden apple to his guests at the wedding with the inscription "To the most beautiful goddess". The three goddesses of the highest status and the most beautiful of the goddesses, Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, quarreled over the golden apple, and the other gods did not dare to speak for fear of offending the goddess, and the god Zeus let Paris, the beautiful young man who shepherded sheep on the mountain, be the judge.
In order to obtain the golden apple, the three goddesses each offered attractive conditions: Hera gave him supreme power and blessed him as a ruler on a high level; Athena was willing to give him wisdom and strength, and encouraged him to have the courage to take risks and forge a heroic path; Aphrodite promised to make the most beautiful woman in the world fall in love with him and be his wife. Paris thought about it, and felt that power and domination would be enough for him to inherit his father's throne in the future, and that the path of a hero he himself had a good ability to boldly break through, but love was not something that could be encountered every day. So he gave the golden apple to Aphrodite. Later, with the help of Aphrodite, Paris abducted the queen of Sparta, the beautiful Helen, and thus became the fuse of the Trojan War. (To be continued)
