《希腊神话》读后感

《希腊神话故事》读后感 当我读了《希腊神话故事》这本书之后,不禁佩服希腊人的想象力。每一个神,每一个英雄,每一个人,都有各自的性格,特点。 希腊的神不像中国的神那样。中国的神,是凭空唯心想象出来的,人们把他们想象得非常完美、伟大而神秘,他们有常人所没有的无上法力,因而人与神之间的差距非常大;而古希腊的神却是古希腊英雄的化身,他们的秉性与人非常相近,他们来往于神和人之间,既有神的伟大,也有人的优点和缺点,人们与神自由相处,和睦相往。但是,为了各自的利益,也会搞阴谋甚至相互残杀,如著名的奥德修斯设计杀帕拉墨得斯,伟大的阿喀琉斯为战利品而跟亚格门农闹翻……把人的优点和缺点都淋漓尽置地展现了出来,把人物形象刻画得非常逼真。

《希腊神话故事》既是一本神话书,又是一本历史书,伟大的特洛伊战争因为有神祗们的加入,而使内容显得更加丰富多彩,读起来使人爱不释手:海神波赛冬为希腊人开路,战神阿瑞斯为特洛伊人助阵,太阳神阿波罗援箭射击波赛冬,智慧女神雅典娜力战阿瑞斯……只要一想到那里,眼前便浮现出勇敢的希腊人与特洛伊人在战场上厮杀,搏斗的场面。

 

第二篇:希腊神话读后感英文

Greek myth story has handed down for about more than three thousand years. Brilliant and grand scenes, vivid and distinct personalities, exquisite and flexural plot, so it was overwhelmed by all over the world readers. The Greek myth story is the same as the Bible that has a comprehensive influence to the whole human religious, philosophy, thoughts, customs, natural science, literature and art. When we contact with the western culture, we will meet some literary quotation that almost comes from the Greek myth story, and almost all the classical western literary can find the plot or characters that involved or directly originated from Greek mythology. Just as the Bible we need understand, we also should know the myth stories. That not just a literary works, also a production of culture of that time and an exhibition of the social surroundings and problems of the current western countries. If we want to know western culture, we need to read this book. It is a summary about gods and heroes story of the ancient Greek nation. It mixed up the real life with the fantasies.

In the first chapter, it mainly talked about the Prometheus, who was only seed of the ancient god family that exiled by Zeus. He is intelligent and wise, created human beings according to the god’s appearance, and stuffs they need. All Prometheus did was caused Zeus’ envy, and stole fire make him tied in the mountain and pecked

by the eagle sent by Zeus. Then the story begins from here.

The chapter two talked about the era of the humans. The God began to create the first generation of human that is the golden generation. They lives happily and had a peaceful ending. Then god created the second generation of human with silver. They are fall into the abyss of suffering due to their immature in spirit and the wanton behavior. Zeus was angry and destroy them create the next generation called bronze. They’re rude and cruel always fighting with each other. The fourth generation was we called half-god; they’re more justice and fair. But a ancient poet who exclaim over the fifth time he lived, ‘they made by black iron, they thoroughly corrupt, completely destroyed, and is full of pain and iniquity; they anxiety and distress for day and night, no peace; God only constantly add new worry to give them. There is no hope for human but despair and pain ’. So we can conclude that the man in that time in the western they also lived very pain. Full of hatred between human beings, brothers is not honest and love each other, white-haired parents gets no respect and compassion, old man is abused. Such a painful and disappointed world.

Whatever the Zeus, the main god and also has abundant emotions, just like man. And his wife Hera is the daughter of Cronus, and in charge of the family and marriage, she has a strong jealous

about whom his husband loved, she also was the symbol of the power. This phenomenon was showed by several chapters. And some chapters were talked about some heroes worshipped in that situation. So in other words, it was an ideal product of the bad social condition, was the pain people's spiritual pillar, just as the Bible. The miserable people can’t change the lives and bad conditions, but only obtains psychological comfort. Although there is no god, but we learned that the Greek myth story which reflect the culture the history and the human mental outlook is nice and eternal. It records infinite ideal and hope for the human pursuit in life, but at the same time, how much inventory of the human to strive for and spatter of tears and laughing.

The Greek myth is a heavy book. Many of the characters and complex relations make the person annoyed, make a person impatient; But many appalling things and make the person feels depressive, boring, and even asphyxia. Although Greek mythology is mainly sing praise to heroes, but I think also deeply expose and criticize the ugly humanity. Greek mythology it is a treasury of knowledge for human nature criticism. Family love can be false. Today maybe still be your brother, tomorrow may become your enemy. Love is not reliable make people easy to think of perishable food, difficult to preservation for a long-term. Lusts hoodwink the

heart, killing and revenge filled with the world, killing cause vengeance, vengeance and repetitive killing. Even god also exist human selfishness and ugly. Zeus in this aspect reflects particularly special. Although he is the Lord of the gods, but there is no that kind of emperor feeling who should behave. He is infatuated with worldly woman, or incarnation spirit beast, or incarnation, handsome, close to lure beautiful woman, everywhere leave merry seed. The woman knew that he was the Lord of all gods besides accept this destiny, can still how to do? Nothing. Zeus's wife Hera jealousy extremely heavy. As the same victims for the women, she not only did not give enough sympathy, but resent and revenge in their body, as if someone else is seduce her husband not her husband cheat others. The unhappy or angry between this couple, directly caused the pain of others. Iraq is one of the typical victims. When Zeus know he seduce the Iraq things have been known by Hera, he put the Iraq into a cow in order not to let Hera find the Iraq. But it still make Hera found out, she sent a servant guarded the Iraq. From now on Iraq cannot back to home even she has family, they cannot recognize each other even loved ones near at hand, the worst is leave their homes and the undertake the lovesickness . Greek mythology to person to god has made a real show, not whitewash light, and also do not cover the darkness. Not because he is a hero and cover the mean, not because he is god and conceal its

hypocrisy. Criticism of human nature is deeply rooted in this soil, so critical to appear deep powerful.

Through man’s fantasy, with a kind of involuntary artistic way processed natural and social form is made by imagination and the aid of imagination to conquer nature, control the forces of nature to visualize ". So the myth is an exploration of human nature and ego and natural and self -relationship. Marx said that.

Now whatever the stories or movies both originate from the Greek myths. It not only a classical literary, but a great reference for us. We can learn not only interesting things but encyclopedic information. In the west, more or less you know about the myths, always becomes a measure for man’s education degree. Greek mythology had already become an integral part of the whole western culture shall be, and constantly affect the western social culture and the development of literature and art. Many of the plots of Greek myth now have changed to some the most basic structure of western culture. Through the interpretation of Greek mythology of the human nervous, it is laid the foundation for today’s western social moral and ethical structure.
