Greek Mythology -------Daphne

It was the most beautiful tragedy love story in Greek mythology about Daphne and Apollo.It was told that one day,Eros(The God Of Love) was laughed at by Apollo(The God Of Sun),in order to revenge Apollo,Eros decided use his love arrow to strike Apollo,at the same time,he used the hate arrow to strike Daphne.Then ,Apollo quickly falling in love with Daphne,but Daphne didn’t like Apollo.While Apollo run after her ,Daphne called her father change her into a laurel tree.Saw that ,Apollo was very sad and he decided to guarded the laurel tree forever.The story just begun with a trick,but ended with a tragedy.

In this drama,I played a godness who named Daphne.She was a daughter of Peneus---The River God. Daphne was a very beautiful and charming girl so that there were many young people to pursue her.However,she refused all of them ,because ,in Daphne’s opinion ,she fared the feeling of love and being loved,also,she hated the marriage between god and godness. Therefor,since she was young,she sworn that she would never marry somebody ,she wanted to have a freedom like her idol---Artemis(Apollo’s sister ,The Goodness Of Moon).It was not easy for her to hold on her faith.Her father didn’t agree with her ,he always said to her:”Daphne,I wanted to have a grandson.”But Daphne still hold on her faith.Even when Apollo falling in love with her and insisted to pursue her,she would rather become a tree than accept Apollo’s deep love.From the myth ,we can know,Daphne hold on her faith forever even she would not bring back to life .

After I heard this story ,I was deeply impressed by Daphne,the girl which I played.I learn many from her.

First,I was moved by Daphne’s perseverance.She kept her faith since she was young ,she didn’t want to have a marriage and love,she wanted to be a virgin like Artemis, and she try her best to hunting for freedom.Therefore ,nobody could attract her ,even if Apollo.As we know,Apollo was an excellent and handsome man.In Greek mythology,he was approach to perfect,but Daphne refused him in order to keep her

own faith.In the end ,she became a laurel tree to prove her perseverance. In nowadays,more and more students are lacking of this good spirit.When we had a goal,maybe we can hold on it in a short time,however ,how many people can hold it forever ?The answer is seldom. It was difficult to achieve your goal,but if you persevere,you will close to success.Whatever, hold on you faith and try your best to persevere,you will win.

Second,I admired Daphne’s independent.In Daphne’opinion ,as a woman,she needed to depend on herself,so ,she liked to do things which man like to do ,for example,she liked to hunting in woods.she didn’t want to rely on man,maybe it is the one reason that she hate marriage.I think her idea is valuable not only in old time,but also in modern society.Woman should be independent like Daphne.That included:thought independent, economical independent and spirit independent.if women can do these,they would know how to make themselves happy and facility.they will be more success.

Third, I admired her for her own personality .Daphne is special in that time,as a woman ,she decided not to marry somebody,that is a shock in the old society..she is more like a modern people for her strong personality.i think everyone should own their personality.that can keep them more special and charming. Personality can decided one’s quality ,ability ,and fate. Consequently,possess your own personality.that will help you in future.

To sum up,I like this myth and Daphne,I hope I can be a perseverance and independent girl like Daphne,and also own my personality.

第二篇：希腊神话读后感

神的世界很精彩

希腊神话并没有特定的作者，是历史积淀下来的文化产物。后人荷马所著《伊里亚特》、《奥德赛》，奥维德所著《变形记》，赫西俄德所写《工作与时日》、《神谱》对其进行归纳整合，形成了今天我们所看到的希腊神化。

通过阅读，我所记住的人物有宙斯、赫拉、克若诺斯、乌拉诺斯、盖亚、瑞亚、哈迪斯、波塞冬、雅典娜、阿瑞斯、赫怀斯托斯、赫里厄斯、赫尔墨斯、阿夫洛狄忒、赫拉克斯勒、普罗米修斯、帕尔休斯等等人物。古希腊神话中，神与人是同形同性，外表和性格脾气与人类相似。神经常打扮成人，在人间出没。这样的表达方式，更加的生动活泼，让人可以更好地想象神的世界。

读了希腊神话，印象第一深刻的是，乱伦现象。宙斯娶了自己的姐姐赫拉，作为夫人。弟弟娶了妹妹，在现在人眼中是不可理喻的，但是在3000年前的社会，伦理道德准则还不成熟的情况下，这种现在比较普遍。宙斯这个大淫棍，不知道玷污了多少清纯少女，生了一堆私生子，如赫拉克斯勒、帕尔休斯、雅典娜等等，让我想起动物世界中，类人猿的种群中，领队的雄性猿猴可以霸占整个种群的雌性猿猴。我不禁想问，难道人类社会初期，也是这样子的嘛？其次，弑父夺权的现象屡屡发生。乌拉诺斯阉割自己的父亲克洛诺斯，宙斯弑杀生父乌拉诺斯等等现象，不禁让我想起来，在我国春秋历史阶段，也有很多类似的例子，弑君夺位。为了权力，不惜牺牲亲情、友情。

也许这些古老的故事反映出人类的最原始本性——人类天生就是贪婪的。只是在日后不断的演化过程中，各种伦理道德不断地束缚着人类的种种原始欲望，人类不断地压抑自己，不断地“规范”自己，才形成了现在的社会秩序。就如同稻盛和夫所说的“人的一生就是不断完善自己心智的旅程”，他的言下之意说明人的劣根。又想到，前阵子，智利圣德赛矿难的一则隐藏消息。据说，当时，在地下33个人未知生死之时，他们其中明显分成三组人。为了节省水和粮食，每组人都想置别的组人与死地。甚至考虑吃对方组员的人肉。人只有在危难绝望的时刻，才会抛弃一切伦理道德的束缚，释放自己。

不断地约束自己，有自己的信仰和信念，坚持住，压缩自己的原始贪婪欲，做一个合格的现代人，这就是我读了希腊神话的感悟。希腊神话只是看了一个大概的轮廓，很多细节需要以后不断地补充。

文以载道，任何一篇称得上文的作品都应该对现实生活有一定的指导意义，希腊神话的每个精彩故事背后都有一个希腊人的最朴实愿望的表达。
