Greek and Roman mythology-Poseidon, the sea god, is the great white 96.03.08.

I. Background and characteristics of Poseidon

Bositon is Zeus' younger brother. After Zeus overthrew his father, Zeus ruled heaven, Hades ruled hell, Boston ruled the ocean, and the land was ruled by three people. Bostonians are second only to Zeus.

Boston once competed with Athena for Athens, but it was finally defeated by Athena. In a rage, Athens was once flooded. In the battle for Athens, he turned out the first horse, so he was also the patron saint of horses. Because the waves are rough, like a roaring horse, which makes people associate. Because the ocean is unpredictable, Bostonians are regarded as uncontrollable gods.

Bostonian's costume is: shining breastplate, holding a trident, driving four chariots drawn by white horses, and gold mane and copper hooves. When he passed by, the sea opened the way for him, dolphins jumped out of the water, and whales and other marine life welcomed him on both sides of the street.

Positon is strong and powerful, with a tiger arm and a bear waist. The appearance is slightly melancholy, but it is solemn and calm. Trident is his characteristic. Tuna, dolphins and seahorses are his sacred objects.

Between the Adriatic Sea and the Aegean Sea, the Greek city-state is a nation full of marine personality.

Trident: It's just a tool used by fishermen to catch fish. Shiva, one of the three great gods in India, is also a trident, symbolizing the early fishing and hunting period. Wu Cheng'en wrote about The Journey to the West in the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty was already a highly agricultural civilization. Therefore, Zhu Bajie's rake and Niu Wangmo symbolize the agricultural society.

Boston and Cape abundance

There are many resources in the ocean, so Poseidon has abundant horns. There are inexhaustible treasures and food in the fertile cape.

Second, the discussion of Poseidon's robbing marriage and the custom of robbing marriage.

Poseidon's wife is Effie, Poseidon's daughter. One day, she danced with other sea fairies in Nagosos Island. Poseidon was attracted by her beautiful appearance and wanted to kidnap her home. But Effie escaped, and Poseidon sent dolphins to carry her back and became Poseidon's wife.

On the custom of kidnapping relatives

1. Snatching marriage is a popular custom among Yi, Hani, Pumi, Achang and some Tibetan, Miao and Dai ethnic minorities.

. 2. In Kyrgyzstan, a mountainous country in Central Asia: More than one third of married women in this country were forced to get married after being "violently captured" by their husbands from the streets or other places.

Compared with normal wedding activities, "robbing relatives" can not only save a lot of "financial gifts" (about $800 in cash and a cow), but also be very easy to do.

The robbed woman said that she agreed to marry her current husband, not because she liked each other, but because she was frightened by the atmosphere and curse.

3. Huaxia Jingwei. Com 08/2 1/2003/ The Achang people in lianghe county, Dehong Prefecture, China are divided into three situations:

A. When men and women are free to fall in love, but the woman's parents don't agree …

B. The girl has her own lover, but her parents force her to choose another son-in-law.

C. Both men and women are in love, but the woman has changed her mind, and the man ran away while the girl was unprepared.

4. Bunun people rob relatives: regardless of whether the woman's parents agree or not, they will come to rob the woman's home. When the woman arrives at the man's house, the man will go to the woman's house to talk about the details of the wedding, choose a date to hire and formally get married. If you don't grab it, you will be regarded as a useless family by your people.

5. Atayal people also have the custom of robbing marriage, and there are probably three reasons for robbing marriage:

6. Zeus robbed Europa: he turned into a white cow and took Europa to Crete.

7. Spartan custom of stealing marriage: after fighting with the woman's man at the woman's house at night, take the bride home …

8. Nu Wa and Fu Xi-Ran chased each other for three days and nights, and then they got married.

9. Indian custom of robbing a marriage: the man takes his friend to the woman's house, pretends to win, and then takes the girl home.

10. Traces of Han people robbing relatives: pork in front of sedan chair protects white tiger, gossip on head protects dragon, and red carpet protects tiger.

Third, Poseidon's relatives:

1. Son Triton: The upper body is like a human, the lower body is covered with algae and has a fish tail. As the messenger of his parents, he has a horn made of conch shell, which he uses to blow out the sound of stormy waves.

Poseidon married many sea fairies and gave birth to many children. But they are all half-human, half-fish monsters, who act as leaders when Poseidon goes out to patrol and calm the waves.

2. Pei Gasos: Boston and Medusa gave birth to Pegasus, a pony with wings, and Crisho, a giant.

On the other hand, it is said that after Titus cut down Medusa, the snake demon, her blood flowed into the ocean and became a flying Mape Gasos. Horses are made in Boston, so it makes sense for Pegasus to be with Medusa.

3. Tertis, goddess of the sea

The beauty of the sea god Teltis attracted the pursuit of Zeus and Poseidon. But fate decided that Jeanteur Tis gave birth to a son stronger than his father. So Zeus and Bostonians had to give up.

Zeus forced Tertis to marry Peleus, the king of Portia, and gave birth to Achilles, the Hercules. In order to make her son live forever, she barbecues him in the sky fire every day. One day, Peleus discovered that Tertis had been stopped. Tertis sadly abandoned his son and returned to the ocean kingdom.

Peleus brought Achilles to Khyron for treatment and became a great hero in the Trojan War.

Antaeus

Positon and his mother Kaya gave birth to a son Antai, who is a giant. His strength is like the fiercest wind and waves. He never feels tired, because he will absorb the energy of the earth.

Whenever strangers came, he forced strangers to duel with him and killed them.

The gods gave Hercules a chance to kill Antai, because Antai would absorb the energy of the earth, so Hercules grabbed him, let his feet off the ground, and finally strangled him.

5. Plocque Wells

The other son of Bostonians is a notorious highwayman. On his way through Athens, he robbed tourists of their belongings and asked them to lie on special iron beds. If the passenger is taller than the iron bed, he will cut off the extra feet. If it is less than the length of the iron bed, he will pull the passengers to the length of the iron bed.

The gods could not tolerate Plocque's evil deeds, so they sent the great hero Theseus to deal with him, just as he did with you.

4. Goddess and Banshee in the Sea

1. Sai Ren, siren: A monster with a bird's head (or a bird's head, even similar to a mermaid) often flies down on rocks or ships at sea, also known as the siren. Sai Ren, the siren, used his singing voice to make the passing sailors listen absently. The ship hit a rock and sank.

Only two heroes in Greek mythology passed through Sirius' territory, and one of them was Argo.

In orpheus, he played the harp and made Sai Ren fall in love with him. The other is the Trojan War.

The hero Odysseus asked his sailors to seal their ears with Bai La so that they could hear Sai Ren's song.

Tie yourself to the mast.

Women have been framed by men again!

Besides, the serene witch is the guide of the underworld. According to legend, Sai Ren, the girlfriend of Persephone, the queen of the underworld, was kidnapped by the keeper of the underworld. She failed to do her duty to protect Persephone, was punished as deformed and led the dead to the underworld. In legend, a banshee with a bird's body is an intoxicating messenger.

A charming woman charms a man and takes away his soul!

2. Mermaid: Mermaid is a fairy tale novel, and Sai Ren is a banshee in Greek mythology. It is difficult to separate the siren from the mermaid in the painting, but the siren is the cause of the shipwreck (strange woman), and the mermaid has a kind heart.

3. Fairy: sea fairy-sea fairy, narcissus: female, water goddess, female body.

Nereus is a Poseidon-male with a dragon tail.

5. Nereid: It's a goddess of the sea, a human fishtail and a mermaid, so it's hard to tell them apart. It all depends on the artist's mark.

5. Monsters in the sea: the crew's nightmare

1. sea monster-featuring big octopus, is the most feared nightmare for westerners in the ocean!

The sea monster that the crew is most afraid of. In the lake, all kinds of monsters use their imaginations.

2. Sea monsters of the people of Taiwan Province Province-in the black ditch.

Chen Shengshao wrote "A Record of Asking the Customs": "There are red ditches and black ditches in the ocean, and the sea water is blue. The red and black colors will never be confused. Moreover, the black ditch is particularly dangerous, and hundreds of miles away, evil is invincible and traced back to the source. Extremely deep and boundless, the waves rolled over and the boat moved here. 」

Reconstruction of Taiwan Province Province in Fujian Province: "Black Trench, northeast of Penghu, where seawater flows. It is bottomless and the water is black. When a ship sails, it must sail with the wind. It is also said that there are snakes in the water, all of which are dozens of feet long and colorful. The tail is slightly upward, like six or seven petals, red and pointed. Touch it and you're dead. When the boat crosses the ditch, the water stinks; Cover it with poison gas and steam it. "
