Chinese people believed that there existed ten suns that appeared in turn in the sky during the Chinese ten-day week. Each day the ten suns would travel with their mother, the goddess Xi He, to the Valley of the Light in the East. There, Xi He would wash her children in the lake and put them in the branches of an enormous mulberry tree called fu-sang. From the tree, only one sun would move off into the sky for a journey of one day, to reach the mount Yen-Tzu in the Far West.
Tired of this routine, the ten suns decided to appear all together. The combined heat made the life on the Earth unbearable. To prevent the destruction of the Earth, the emperor Yao asked Di Jun, the father of the ten suns, to persuade his children to appear one at a time.
They would not listen to him, so Di Jun sent the archer, Yi, armed with a magic bow and ten arrows to frighten the disobedient suns. However, Yi shot nine suns, only the Sun that we see today remained in the sky. Di Jun was so angry for the death of nine of his children that he condemned Yi to live as an ordinary mortal in the earth.
1、Pandora’s box(潘朵拉的盒子) ：普罗米修斯(Prometheus)为人类盗来了天火，激怒了宙斯(Zeus)。Zeus决定惩罚人类，于是他命令火神造出一个美貌的女人 Pandora，让她去勾引Prometheus的弟弟埃比米修斯(Epimetheus)。结果Epimetheus上当，接近了 Pandora，Pandora于是就将手中的盒子打开，放出了里面的罪恶、灾难、疾病、不幸，只留下了“希望”在盒子里。于是Pandora’s box就成了“灾难的根源”的代名词。
2、the sword of Damocles(达摩克利斯之剑)：Damocles是叙拉古王朝的一位大臣，非常羡慕帝王的荣华富贵。一天，国王让他坐在王位上，在 Damocles的头上用一根头发悬一把利剑，告诉他王权的危险就象那把剑一样，随时可能降临。因此the sword of Damocles就成了“富贵中隐藏的危险”的同义语，也可以指形势危急，千钧一发。
3、Damon and Pythias ：Damon和Pythias是好朋友。Pythias出事被判了死刑，为了使他能够回家探视亲人，Damo留在牢中作人质，如果Pythias不按时返 回，就处死Damon。当期限满，临处刑之际，Pythias及时赶回。国王深受感动，将二人全部释放，因此，Damon and Pythias意思就是“生死之交”。
4、Penelop’s web：源自史诗《奥德赛》(Odyssey)。泊涅罗珀(Penelop)是奥底修e799bee5baa6e4b893e5b19e330斯(Odysseus)的妻子，以忠贞而著称。特洛伊战争持续 了十年，Odysseus在返家的途中又耽搁了十年。在这漫长的二十年中，许多王公贵族向Penelop求婚，她都托辞说必须等织完布后才能予以考虑，一 到晚上，她又将白天织好的布再拆开。因此Penelop’s web就成了一项永远也完不成的工作。
5、apple of discord：意思是“不和的根源、发生纠纷的事端”。佩琉斯和忒提斯举行婚礼时忘记了邀请不和女神厄里斯(Eris)。这位女神大为恼火，留下 一个刻有“献给最美者”的金苹果，引起了雅典娜、赫拉和阿芙罗狄忒的纷争。此事导致漫长的特洛伊战争(Trojan War)。

希腊神话文献记载
最早的几部参考文献当推荷马的两部史诗：《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》。除此之外的这方面的史诗都被归结到了《史诗集成》，但这些作品到现今基本已经全部不可靠了。尽管这部合集原来的名字称为“荷马赞歌”，但其实际上和荷马没有任何关系，它们实际上是从被称为抒情诗时期早期流传下来的赞美诗。
荷马基本同期的诗人赫西俄德在其作品《神谱》中全面的记录了关于世界的形成，众神，提坦和巨人的起源的早期希腊神话以及详细的族谱。
赫西俄德的《工作与时日》系统地记录了当时农耕生产的知识，表现了平静而优美的农村生活场景。其中包括了对普罗米修斯， 潘多拉以及五个时代的描写。这些诗篇给予了在那个危险的时期最好生活方式的建议和全貌。

厄洛斯（丘比特） 厄洛斯是爱神，它的拉丁名称丘比特更为人熟知。他是阿瑞斯和阿芙罗狄蒂的儿子，是一位小奥林波斯山神。他的e69da5e887aae79fa5e98193339形象是一个裸体的小男孩，有一对闪闪发光的翅膀。他带着弓箭漫游。他恶作剧地射出令人震颤的神箭，唤起爱的激情。给自然界带来生机，授予万物繁衍的能力。这位可爱而又淘气的小精灵有两种神箭：加快爱情产生的金头神箭和中止爱情的铅头神箭。另外，他还有一束照亮心灵的火炬。 尽管有时他被蒙着眼睛，但没有任何人或神，包括宙斯在内，能逃避他的恶作剧。有一次这位淘气的精灵被自己的箭射中。对人间少女普赛克炽热的爱在他心中复苏，以致于他不顾他母亲的干预，鼓起勇气让宙斯给予公正评判。厄洛斯起了重大作用的另一个著名的故事是亚尔古英雄的远征。美狄亚，国王埃厄忒斯的女儿，被厄洛斯的神箭射中，和伊阿宋一起寻觅金羊毛，最后成为这位英雄的妻子。
1.潘多拉的盒子 Pandora's Box
潘多拉是希腊神话中第一个尘世女子。普罗米修斯盗天火给人间后，主神宙斯为惩罚人类，命令神用黏土塑成一个年轻美貌、虚伪狡诈的姑娘，取名“潘多拉”，意为“具有一切天赋的女人”，并给了她一个礼盒，然后将她许配给普罗米修斯的弟弟埃庇米修斯。
埃庇米修斯不顾禁忌地接过礼盒，潘多拉趁e799bee5baa6e997aee7ad94e58685e5aeb9335机打开它，于是各种恶习、灾难和疾病立即从里面飞出来。盒子里只剩下唯一美好的东西：希望。但希望还没来得及飞出来，潘多拉就将盒子永远地关上了。“潘多拉的盒子”被用来比喻造成灾害的根源。
Pandora was the first earthly woman in Greek mythology. After Prometheus had stolen fire from heaven, Zeus, the god of god, punished mankind by making a beautiful, hypocritical, and cunning girl from clay.
He named her Pandora, which means "woman of all gifts," and gave her a gift box. When epimetheus took the box in spite of taboos, Pandora opened it, and all sorts of vices, disasters, and diseases flew out of it.
There was only one good thing left in the box: hope. But before she could fly out, Pandora closed the box for good. "Pandora's box" is used to describe the source of the disaster.
