From Wang Dongwei's introduction, Yan Luo already knew that the characteristics of ancient Greek poetry were simple, popular, and straightforward, but with a charm and even philosophy.

For example, I don't know if there is a born Plato, a love poem:

"Star"

My star, you are looking at the stars,

I'm willing to be the sky,

It's like a thousand eyes are looking at you.

In ancient Greece, poetry did flourish, but it was far from China, but language isolation was also an obstacle.

"Book of Songs", "Yuefu", "Chu Ci" these ancient poetry collections, similar to the beautiful poem "Pu Jia is pale, white dew is frost, the so-called Yi people, on the water side", the unique rhythm of Chinese, translated into ancient Greek, it also loses the artistic conception of beauty.

What kind of poems do you read?

Pondering silently, he suddenly thought of the current Athens, which was in the most prosperous era, with abundant materials, people pursuing culture and pleasures, and citizens worshipping Zeus and honoring Athena and Apollo, but one of the favorite gods was:

Bacchus!

Dionysus, as one of the twelve main gods of Greece, often indulged in revelry, advocating pleasures, wine and joy of the gods, whether the senators and citizens, or the peasants did not dislike, the largest theatrical festival in Athens is called "Dionysian Festival".

Aristotle wrote in Poetics that tragedy originated in the ceremonial performance of the sacrifice to Dionysus.

In his heart, Yan Luo made a decision.

He chose a poem of Yuefu.

Under the gaze of the Greeks, Yanluo paced the square while a verse translated into ancient Greek came out of his mouth:

"Do you see? The crooked river came from heaven and flowed to the sea of purple and red......"

Yan Luo is not chanting "the most dazzling national style", although this contains the most dazzling national style lyrics...... It is Li Bai's "will enter the wine".

The first sentence of the wine is "You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, and it flows to the sea and never returns", but the Greeks do not know what the Yellow River is, as for the ocean, they added "thousands of purples and thousands of reds", such a rhetoric with a sense of picture, so the original poem became the lyrics.

Although it was changed, the effect was very good, and the first line of the poem "Li Bai listened to and wanted to beat someone", and immediately calmed the field!

Sophocles, a master of drama and a poet, gasped.

The crooked river actually came from the sky? The color of the sea is actually purple and red?

Such a magnificent picture is beyond imagination! In poetry, the Greeks liked to use modifiers, such as Anacreon's poem "The young man who looks forward to the virgin" - the use of the word "virgin" to modify the youth is also a unique imagination, but how can it be compared with this sentence?

"A sea ...... of thousands of purples and thousands of reds"

Among the senators, the disciple of the great lyric poet Simonides, who had previously written the poem "In Praise of Autumn Trousers", had a corresponding scene in his mind, and his face could not help but show intoxication, so beautiful - such a color, not a field of flowers, but the sea, how amazing!

He thought of Dionysus, the god of wine.

According to legend, with the help of the mountain and forest nymphs, Dionysus made fine wine, with a variety of brilliant colors, is it possible that the purple and red sea water in this poem is the wine of the god of wine?

After reading the first sentence, Yanluo specially stayed for a while, which was to consider what kind of ancient Greek sentences the next poem would be translated, and at the same time gave the Greeks time to understand and think, and a scholar discussed with each other in a low voice.

"This poem, at the beginning of 'have you seen it', arouses people's curiosity with questions, and deliberately points out 'look', and then immediately it is a picture of a sea of thousands of purples and thousands of red that exceeds anyone's imagination, beautiful, really amazing!"

"It's really immersive......"

"Describe the sea in terms of color...... How did the Chinese people come up with it? ”

"Oops!"

One of the patriarchs suddenly exclaimed.

Seeing the people around him and looking at himself, he said with a shocked face: "Your focus is on the sea, and you didn't pay attention to the front: does the crooked river come from the sky?" Can't you think of what the river here refers to? What rivers come from heaven? ”

"Galaxy!" An old man who couldn't stand and was supported by two young people next to him struggled to spit out such a word.

In Greek mythology, Hera, the queen of heaven, was bitten too hard when she was breastfeeding Hercules, and she pushed the Hercules away, and some milk splashed in the sky, forming a milky way.

This old man was not an ordinary citizen, but a famous mathematician, philosopher, and inventor of the "dialectic" in ancient Greece: Zeno, who was too old, and unlike Sophocles, who was so energetic that he could not speak clearly, he could not face it today.

But I still insisted and came to watch.

"Is it the Milky Way?"

An old man and scholar were stunned in shock, originally they only noticed thousands of purples and thousands of reds, but they didn't expect that the previous paragraph contained such a beautiful imagination! The water of the Milky Way falls from the sky and pours into the sea of thousands of purples and thousands of reds, is this color dyed by starlight?

Euripides, who had been lifted to the side in a daze, had now awakened, and he smacked his lips, as if chewing on the taste of this poem.

"Wonderful, wonderful." The old man sighed intoxicatedly.

Zhu Xiaoyong was sweating profusely, the corners of Wang Dongwei's mouth twitched, and only the two of them could hear Yan Luo, chanting "the most dazzling national style", the two didn't understand why this lyric actually made the Greeks almost kneel down one by one.

Could it be that square dancing was also very lethal in ancient Greece 2,500 years ago?

The second verse of Yanluo's translation of the ancient Greek verse sounds:

"Do you see? The face shining in the mirror is still youthful and energetic in the morning, and the long chestnut hair in the evening has turned into a trace of snow. ”

will enter the wine, the second paragraph of the original poem: "You don't see, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk" - it was also changed by Yanluo Demon.

For example, the green silk was changed to "chestnut hair", and most of the Greeks here have this hair color.

The popular verse immediately shook everyone's hearts.

The verse in Sophocles's "Sigh of Fate" before, "At last, that hateful old age has arrived, old and sick, without relatives and friends." Directly points out the sadness of people to old age, and Yan Luo's sentence condenses life in one day, early in the morning is still young, and at night, he is full of gray hair and enters the twilight years, which is even more unbearable.

"Why is life so short? Fate, why is it so ruthless? In the world, is there a more poignant ending than aging? The brave warrior can no longer hold a spear, and the brilliant scholar has become dull in his mind, and his inspiration has disappeared......" Euripides sighed deeply, and he looked up at the sky, his eyes moist.

"These two poems are really amazing...... It's horrible. "A young man who looks like he is only 15 or 6 years old, his face is full of fear," the first sentence contains the space from the sky to the sea, and the second sentence contains the time from youth to aging...... Just two lines of poetry, so grandiose......"

He said lonely: "Even I can't do this!" ”

This young man's name is Aristophanes, although he is not yet famous, in fact he is the "father of comedy" in ancient Greece in the future! Even the three masters of tragedy are not in his eyes, but now they are not as good as Yan Luo.

Sophocles, an elderly man in his 70s, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

He looked at his arms, his skin was saggy, covered with age spots, when he was young, he was also a beautiful young man who was admired by many women, and when he was in his prime, he even served as the financial manager of Athens, one of the ten generals, how could he become like this? An old bad old man......

As a city-state with a prosperous civilization and a highly developed art, Athens was undoubtedly very emotional, and the second line of Yanluo's poem made many old people, whether ordinary citizens, parliamentarians and senators, and even the consul Pericles, sad in their hearts.

Yan Luo's voice continued, but the tone of the previous feeling became excited:

"Indulge in joy in the proudest moments of your life, and enjoy and revelry while you are young! Don't let the glass of wine be empty and leave regrets, God has made everyone born in this world, and they must have their own talents, even if they squander all the gold coins, they can earn it back......"

What could be more recognizable to such verses than a city that celebrates pleasure? These two lines of Yanluo's poems simply spoke to the hearts of all Athenians, and immediately followed the previous emotion: life is impermanent, youth is difficult, and the focus of meaning is immediately changed: when you are young, you spend money, and you have a happy life!

Athens' Dionysian Festival, the biggest carnival, is all about drinking, indulging and having fun.

"This poem is so heroic!"

Now Greece is in an era when people believe in their own strength, believe in their own talents, and have surging self-confidence, and many people have knowledge, have a certain cultural and aesthetic ability, and it is precisely because of this that they can feel the deep appeal in Yanluo's verses.

An Athenian could hardly control the emotions that welled up in his heart.

"Yes, each of us is born in this world, and we have our own talents and values, even if we will grow old in the future, what is there? At least when we were young, we laughed, experienced, and indulged...... Young people, take advantage of your youth and enjoy it to the fullest! ”

Unknowingly, the magic changed the "will enter the wine", which made some Athenians distorted......

"Slaughtering cows and sheep to cook delicious food and wine, I want to drink three hundred cups at a time......"

Yan Luo's voice continued to reverberate.

It was not until the last sentence was finished that the sound stopped, and the Acropolis, on the hill where countless temples were located, on the marble square of the Parthenon, the consuls, dozens of senators, five hundred councillors, and even thousands of citizens and Gentiles......

Everyone was silent, as if immersed in the artistic conception of this poem.

It was a full 5 minutes......

"Bang Bang!"

The first sound of applause suddenly sounded, and then, as if waking up from a dream, countless Greeks clapped their hands vigorously, and the applause rang out into one piece, and the faces full of excitement and admiration looked at the young man in the middle of the square, shining in the sun.

"It's so exciting!"

"There is no such beautiful psalm as a sacrificial psalm in praise of the gods!"

"Although he is a foreign envoy, I believe that he is definitely a man favored by the gods of Olympus!"

"Today is a day that will be remembered in history......

"I am Sophoroniskos, the engraver, the father of Socrates! I'm going to carve a statue of him with my own hands! ”

One by one, the Greeks applauded vigorously, and some even shed tears of emotion.

At this time, in Yanluo's consciousness, the storage of heartless dolls was once again full - and this time it was almost all positive emotions such as excitement, joy, excitement, and even love. As before, in his consciousness, he chose to merge.

Rays of light converged together, gradually condensing into the phantom of a mask......
