The romantic lives of mythical gods (Greek, Egyptian, Norse, and otherwise) are often complicated and dramatic. With frequent affairs and backstabbings, mythology could give any soap opera a run for its money. Sometimes when reading myths, it's easy to get your wires crossed about who's dating whom and whose parents are whose. Luckily, the talented Korwin Briggs—the creator of the webcomic Veritable Hokum—has created three family trees that map out the relationships between the gods. As you can see, some gods did some serious work copulating (we're looking at you, Zeus).
神話故事(包括希臘神話、埃及神話、挪威神話以及其他神話)中眾神的風(fēng)流生活總是復(fù)雜且具有戲劇性。神話中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的風(fēng)流韻事、陰謀陷害之類的劇情,足夠讓所有肥皂劇都借此大撈一筆。讀神話故事時,有時很容易就會被混亂的戀愛關(guān)系和親子關(guān)系搞亂頭腦。有才的Korwin Briggs 畫出了三幅眾神族系圖,幫你搞清這些神之間的關(guān)系。你可以清楚的看到,有些神簡直是處處風(fēng)流。(說的就是你,宙斯)。
Take these illustrations with a grain of salt, though: Mythological stories often have many different versions as a result of their oral nature. For example, Greek goddess Aphrodite is often said to rise from sea foam, but Homer depicts her as the daughter of Zeus and Dione.
當(dāng)然,由于神話是口頭流傳的,所以神話故事經(jīng)常有許多不同版本。因此,這些圖也不能完全相信。比如,希臘神話中的女神阿佛洛狄特,通常認(rèn)為她誕生于大海的泡沫中,然而荷馬卻將她描述成宙斯和狄俄涅(Dione)之女。
If you want to have these family trees on file for reference, they all come in poster form. You can pick one up right here.
當(dāng)然,如果你想保存這些眾神族譜以供參考的話,這些族譜已經(jīng)做成了圖片形式。你可以從下面選一張哦。
