阿喀琉斯之踵,——Achilles,Achilles' role as the hero of grief forms an ironic juxtaposition with the conventional view of Achilles as the hero of kleos (glory, usually glory in war).,阿喀琉斯是古希腊神话和文学中的英雄人物,参与了特洛伊战争,被称为“希腊第一勇士”·,Birth,Achilles was the son of the nymph Thetis and Peleus, the king of the Myrmidons. Zeus and Poseidon had been rivals for the hand of Thetis until Prometheus, the fore-thinker, warned Zeus of a prophecy that Thetis would bear a son greater than his father. For this reason, the two gods withdrew their pursuit, and had her wed Peleus.,他是色萨利国王佩琉斯与海洋女神忒提斯的儿子。
宙斯和波塞冬争夺忒提斯,直到预言家普罗米修斯警告宙斯,忒提斯将会有一个儿子,其实力将远胜其父因为这个原因,两位神放弃了他们的追求,将忒提斯嫁给了佩琉斯Achilles’heel,According to the Achilleid, written by Statius in the 1st century AD, and to no surviving previous sources, when Achilles was born Thetis tried to make him immortal, by dipping him in the river Styx. However, he was left vulnerable at the part of the body by which she held him, his heel[4] (see Achilles heel, Achilles' tendon).,阿喀琉斯的母亲是不死的神,所以她也希望自己的孩子不死忒提斯每次生育之后,无一例外都将孩子放到天火中炼,但都以失败告终在阿喀琉斯出生后,忒提斯照样捏着他的脚踝将他浸泡在冥河斯堤克斯(一说天火)中,使他全身刀枪不入,惟有脚踝(被忒提斯手握着,没有浸到冥河),此即西谚“阿喀琉斯之踵”的来源。
It is not clear if this version of events was known earlier. In another version of this story, Thetis anointed the boy in ambrosia and put him on top of a fire, to burn away the mortal parts of his body. She was interrupted by Peleus and abandoned both father and son in a rage.,也有说忒提斯把阿喀琉斯放在天火里烧,却被阿喀琉斯的父亲佩琉斯打断了,才留下了致命弱点Achilles in the Trojan War,When the Greeks left for the Trojan War, they accidentally stopped in Mysia, ruled by King Telephus. In the resulting battle, Achilles gave Telephus a wound that would not heal; Telephus consulted an oracle, who stated that “he that wounded shall heal“. Guided by the oracle, he arrived at Argos, where Achilles healed him in order that he became their guide for the voyage to Troy.,当离开希腊去向特洛伊时,被国王特里佩斯阻止在了弥赛亚。
在交战中,阿喀琉斯给特里佩斯留下了永远无法愈合的伤口特里佩斯说他得到了神谕:他的伤口将会愈合于是,他拿着神谕到达了阿哥斯为了让特里佩斯领导他们航向特洛伊,阿喀琉斯治好了他According to the Cypria (the part of the Epic Cycle that tells the events of the Trojan War before Achilles' Wrath), when the Achaeans desired to return home, they were restrained by Achilles, who afterwards attacked the cattle of Aeneas, sacked neighboring cities and killed Troilus. According to Dares Phrygius' Account of the Destruction of Troy,[8] the Latin summary through which the story of Achilles was transmitted to medieval Europe, Troiluswas a young Trojan prince, the youngest of King Priam's (or sometimes Apollo) and Hecuba's five legitimate sons. Despite his youth, he was one of the main Trojan war leaders. Prophecies linked Troilus' fate to that of Troy and so he was ambushed in an attempt to capture him. Yet Achilles, struck by the beauty of both Troilus and his sister Polyxena, and overcome with lust directed his sexual attentions on the youth – who refusing to yield found instead himself decapitated upon an altar-omphalos of Apollo. Later versions of the story suggested Troilus was accidentally killed by Achilles in an over-ardent lovers' embrace. In this version of the myth, Achilles' death therefore came in retribution for this sacrilege.Ancient writers treated Troilus as the epitome of a dead child mourned by his parents. Had Troilus lived to adulthood, the First Vatican Mythographer claimed Troy would have been invincible.,Troilus,Achilles’ death,Achilles killed prince Troilus at the temp of Apollo, It had infuriated, so at the Troiy War ,Apollo gave a arrow to Paris and leaded him to shoot Achilles’ heel. The foremost hero of Greece had died.,阿喀琉斯在太阳神阿波罗的神庙里杀了特洛伊罗斯王子,这激怒了阿波罗。
于是,在特洛伊战场上,阿波罗给了特洛伊罗斯的哥哥帕里斯一支神箭,并引导他射向阿喀琉斯的脚踝希腊人的第一勇士因此死去THE END,。
