52 特修斯

1
-

正如海格立斯是珀罗普妮萨斯的大英雄,特修斯当之无愧地成了安提卡闻名遐尔的人神。他的父亲是雅典国王埃尔忒斯,而他的母亲是特隆泽的一位公主。当他还在襁褓中时,他父亲就把他交给了母亲,返回自己的王国去了。临行前,埃尔忒斯将剑和凉鞋埋在一块巨石之下;并告诉他母亲说:一旦特修斯长大了能搬起了石头,就拿出埋藏的礼物,然后指点他到雅典来。特修斯16岁时就长成了身强体壮的年轻人,他智慧超群但却性情急燥。当他从巨石下拿出宝剑时,就激动地起程去寻找他的父亲。旅途惊险至极,他清除了路上所遇的各种怪物猛兽,最终安然无恙地来到父亲在雅典的王宫里。他丝毫没有预料到王宫里竟隐藏着杀害他的阴谋。

国王埃尔忒斯新近娶了梅底。梅底是个心地歹毒的女人。她一心想让自己的孩子继承雅典王国的王位。她已说服国王让他毒死宴会上的这个陌生人。宴会上,埃尔忒斯国王看见了特修斯的剑,立刻认出原来这个年轻人是自己的儿子。他迅速推开那杯毒酒,拥抱他,并宣布他为自己的王位继承人。梅底为自己的歹毒计划扰得心神不安,于是驾上龙车逃掉了,从此再没有回来。特修斯在雅典与父亲住了一段时间。当克里坦的公牛跑到马拉松地区时,特修斯单枪匹马前去向那只猛兽挑战,最终将它作为祭品献给了众神。

那段时间,雅典城一直为自己曾许诺向克里特国王米诺斯进贡一事而困扰不安。克里坦人曾进攻雅典,众神命令雅典人满足克里坦所提的条件。也就是每年须向克里特王国进贡七对童男童女来喂养半人半牛的怪物。为了杀死怪物,使同胞们免遭更大的悲痛,特修斯决定作为被选送牺牲品的一员前往克里特。临行前,他向父亲保证,一旦成功,他将把船上的黑帆换成白帆。他走了,在克里特公主阿瑞安得妮的帮助下,他杀死了半人半牛的怪物并带着公主一同返回。他把姑娘留在了纳克松斯,让她自己照顾自己。但是当他的船驶近雅典时,他忘记 上约定好的白帆。他焦虑的父亲站在山顶上看到远处的黑帆时,就绝望地跳海自尽了。特修斯懊悔万分,再也没能从自责中缓过来。

他接替父亲当了国王。他引进了许多好方法来改善人民的生活。为了使国家不再受亚马孙族女战士的威胁,他带队远征这个女人国,并俘虏了它的王后。王后名叫安提诺波。事实上,她狂热地爱上了特修斯并答应嫁给他。后来,亚马孙族人借口要夺回王后派兵攻打雅典。在接着的战斗中,王后被一只乱箭射中,不幸丧命,留下特修斯一人独自悲伤。

特修斯与拉皮塞国王皮瑞塞斯的友谊有着戏剧般的开端。皮瑞塞斯入侵安提卡。特修斯带兵出城迎战。在两人正面交锋的第一个回合中,两人相互之间钦佩不已,以致最后都放下武器成了忠实的朋友。

皮瑞塞斯结婚时,特修斯和海格拉斯都受到了邀请。在场的许多骑兵被新娘那闪光夺目的美丽所激怒。他们决定用武力把她抢过来。特修斯和海格拉斯对他们的野蛮行径怒不可遏。在这场众所周知的冷血战争中,他们痛击了骑兵并夺回了新娘。可惜她很快就离开人世了。

特修斯和皮瑞塞斯都雄心勃勃想娶一位出身圣洁的淑女。他们一度夺来了海伦。她是宙斯美丽的女儿,但她未到婚嫁年龄,于是特修斯让母亲照看她。后来,海伦的兄弟卡斯特和波鲁克斯救出了她。两位朋友如此骄傲便决定去进攻人间,把珀耳塞福涅抢来。因为皮瑞塞斯喜爱她的美貌。他们出发了,但他们却发现自己已无法逃脱,皮瑞塞斯被绑到了一个旋转的车轮上了,而特修斯则被拴在了石头上。要不是海格立斯,特修斯肯定就不能再回到天上了。

当特修斯回到雅典时,他老态龙钟,生活也不如意。作为一个国王他独断专横,结果被人民赶下了台。他被流放到塞库鲁斯岛。在那儿,他失足从悬崖上栽到了海里。从那以后,他杳无音信。几百年后特洛伊战争爆发。雅典人看到一个身材高大的士兵带领他们勇敢无情地攻击着入侵的波斯人,他们认出他就是特修斯。战争结束后,雅典人为纪念他建造了一座大寺庙,并给他的祭坛贡奉祭品。

Argus was a watchman with a hundred eyes,set in a circleall around his head.When he slept,he closed only two eyes at a time;the other ninetyeight were always wideopen.So it could not have been easy to steal away anything that Argus was watching.

Poor Io was very unhappy.Her father, the rivergod,did not know her,neither did her sisternymphs;but they used topat the white heifer and give it grass from their hands. At last Iowrote her name with her hoof in the sands of the river bank,and then her father and sisters knew that the pretty white heifer was their own Io.

She had no sooner revealed herself to her family in this way than Argus drove her away to a field that lay far back from theriver ,where the rivergod and the nymphs could not come,and then set himself down on the top of a high hill,meaning to watch her more closely than ever.

Zeus felt sorry for Io,still he did not dare to change herback into her natural form  while Argus was watching her. But remembering how Hermes,when he was less than a day old,had stolen away the cattle of Apollo,he now set this prince ofthieves, this mischie flowing Hermes ,to steal Io away from Argus.

Hermes thought there could be no better fun. He laid asidehis winged cap and his winged shoes ,and dressed like the shepherds in that country,He carried his golden stick in his hand,and as he walked along,played carelessly on a shepherd’s pipe;then,finding a few goats feeding at the side of the road,hedrove them slowly before him.

Argus found his watch rather dull,and was glad enough to talk to any one who happened to pass by. He was very glad when he saw Hermes coming with the goats,and he invited the pretended shepherd to come and sit by him,under the trees in the shade,and play on his pipe and tell stories.

Hermes sat down on a stone by the side of Argus,and began to play very softly,so softly that the music was like the sighing of the wind  through the branches of the trees. The day was warm, and it was quiet.Two of Argus’s eyes soon closed.The others might have remained open if there had not been asleepy magic in Hermes’  piping.The soft notes came gently,slower and slower, and one after another Argus’  other eyes began to close, till only two remained open.These two eyes werevery bright;they fairly twinkled,and they kept their watch onIo through all Hermes’ playing.Then Hermes began to tell stories,and at last the two twinkling eyes closed,like the others.Argus, with all his hundred eyes closed, was fast asleep.To make him sleep more heavily,Hermes just touched him lightly with the dream-giving stick,and then he successfully led Ioaway.

Hera was very angry when she found that her wonder ful watch man had slept at his post,slept with all his eyes at once.She said he did not deserve to have so many eyes,if he could notkeep some of them open.So she took all of his hundred eyesaway from him,and set them in the tail of her pet peacock ,who was very proud to wear them.Ever since that day all peacocks have had eyes in their tails.
