篇三:《《希腊神话故事》读后感》《希腊神话故事》读后感
孙雯霞
《希腊神话故事》是一本很好看的书,讲了有许许多多的英雄和神的故事。
我记得最清楚的是普罗米修斯造出了人类,并教人类生活,处处为人着想。宙斯知道了,让潘多拉拿着魔盒给人类带来巨大的灾难。而我最喜欢的是赫拉克勒斯的生与死这章的故事,这一章中有许多小短篇故事。赫拉克勒斯是宙斯和他的情人的儿子。他一生出来就被她扔到了离她国家不远的地方。他又吸了万神之母的奶,他就有了不死之身。他又被送到了他母亲手中。赫拉知道吸她奶的人是谁了,就让两条蛇去杀了他。不料两条蛇被掐死了。有人预言﹕他长大后会杀了害人的怪物。那国的国王和英雄教他了许多本领。可他后来送到乡下去了。
读完书,很多英雄与神值得我学习。赫拉克勒斯的勇敢和聪明是值得我们学习的。我们也要向雅典娜学习她的理智,雅典娜有一颗善良的心,一颗会怜悯别人的心,我们更要学习她。在平时,如果看到有人在乞讨,我们可以给他一些钱。如果看到盲人过马路,可以扶他过马路。如果看到义务捐款、捐物时,就要积极地捐钱与物品。如果看到公交车上有老人时,就要主动给老人让座……如果能这样做,我也会成为像雅典娜一样的有一颗善良的心的人。
古希腊神话流传至今已经有三千多年的历史了,是世界文学宝库中珍贵的遗产,它对希腊乃至整个欧洲的文学艺术产生过巨大的影响,而且书中体现了希腊人民的智慧和想象力。这本书很好看,我推荐你们也看看这《希腊神话故事》。

篇五:《希腊神话英文读书报告》我读希腊神话故事
——《希腊神话故事》读书报告读了《希腊神话故事》,我很庆幸我通过它对希腊天神
的描写,了解了西方人文精神的起源、西方古典艺术的辉煌。《希腊神话故事》并不是单纯记
叙神话传说的,它反映了一些神化了的历史事实,如特洛伊战争、七将攻忒拜等都是有历史{古希腊神话英文读后感}.
依据的;许多都是人们对某种现象或事物来源的解释,如关于普罗米修斯的故事就是对火的
来源的解释。
《希腊神话故事》中的“神”实际上是人化了的神,而“人”(英雄)实际上是神化了的
人,显示了希腊神话的进步性、现实性。对神的肯定和赞扬,实际上就是对人的肯定和赞扬。
神与人不同的地方,在于他们是永生不死的,而且主宰着人间的祸福与命运。古希腊人崇拜
神,但并不把神明放在一个特别崇高的地位,也不把神明作为道德衡量的标准,而是把他们
作为世俗的反映。希腊神话故事正是以这种人文精神,以动人的故事和丰富的思想内涵,令
人百读不厌,甚至成为后代文学艺术创作丰富的思想源泉。总之,《希腊神话故事》中的神既
是人性化的,也是世俗化的。
一、《希腊神话故事》中神的人性化首先,他们生活的世界像人类生活的世界一样,有各种各样的生活、不同的行业,甚至
是等级制度。众神生活的世界就像人类的一个社会。在这个社会中,宙斯就是最高统治者。
在他的统治下,有统帅,像阿加门农;有将军,像阿喀琉斯;有负责各个部门工作的神,像农神
得墨特耳、海神波塞冬、火神赫淮斯托斯、战神阿瑞斯等等。他们分工明确、各司其职。神
也有法庭。重大的事情不是某一位神说了算,而是在法庭上裁决。其次,希腊神话中的神会追求爱情,他们也有七情六欲,他们也会贪婪好色。希腊神话
中的神——女神多爱慕体魄健壮的男神,男神则钟情美丽多情的女神。这方面尤其以宙斯为
最。虽然他是众神世界的最高统治者,可是并没有那种皇者应有的涵养。他迷恋尘世的女子,
或化身灵兽,或化身俊男,接近引诱美貌的女子,到处留下风流种子。当那些女子知道他就
是万神之主宙斯时,除了认命还能怎么办呢?宙斯的妻子赫拉嫉妒心极重。对于同为女性的
受害者,她不但没有给予足够的同情,反而把怨恨发泄在她们身上,仿佛是别人引诱她的丈
夫而不是她的丈夫诱骗别人。他们夫妻之间的怄气,直接造成了别人的痛苦。伊俄就是其中
一名典型的受害者。当宙斯知道自己引诱伊俄的事已被赫拉知晓后,为了不让赫拉找到伊俄,
他把伊俄变成了一头牛。但是这还是让赫拉识破了,她派了一名奴仆看守着伊俄。从此伊俄
有家归不得,亲人近在咫尺却不能相认,最惨的还要离乡背井,备受相思之苦。再次,和所有的人类一样,希腊神话中的神也善妒好争。整个希腊神话的叙述就是以克
洛诺斯向乌拉诺斯进行残酷复仇开始的。与人类一样,希腊神话故事中的众神也会为亲情、
爱情而复仇,也会为荣誉而战。这些复仇行为无论是复仇的缘由还是手段都与人类行为极为相
似,唯一不同的是人类缺少神的神力。总之,希腊神话中神都有人性化的一面,人类的贪婪、
虚假、报复、妒忌、正义、勇敢,都能在他们身上得以体现。
二、《希腊神话故事》中神的世俗化中国神话中对神的褒贬则多以道德为标准,而在希腊神话中,对神的褒贬标准多以智慧、
力量为标准。“不食人间烟火”是中国神话中神仙们的重要特征。在中国的很多经史典籍中,
中国上古的神仙们,例如伏羲、女娲、炎帝、黄帝、尧、舜、禹等等,都是无比崇高的。他
们不苟言笑,从不戏谑人类,更不会嫉妒和残害人类。在个人的私生活上,他们从来都是十
分规矩和检点的,十分注重小节、注重品行和道德的培养,并且尊贤重道。几乎每一位神仙
都不会有“红杏出墙”或“乱播滥情种子”的现象。在他们的身上,只有神圣的光环、纯洁
的品性和高尚的情操。
相反,在希腊神话中,我们所看到的大大小小的天神都是世俗的,是满身人间烟火味的
形象:众神之王宙斯狂放不羁,拈花惹草,在神界与人间留下了一大串风流债,更严重的是
他任意行事,不讲原则,充满嫉妒和个人爱好;神后赫拉,本是众神和人间的表率,但她却
经常为嫉妒和仇恨而迷失了本性,做出一些残酷的蠢事来,没有丝毫让人类敬重的地方。主
神如此,他们手下的众神也都有着极为相似的品性。在希腊军队与特洛伊的战争中,阿喀琉斯让阿伽门农{古希腊神话英文读后感}.
把抢来的女俘克里塞斯送还到他的父亲阿波罗的祭司身边,因为此时阿波罗正为他的祭司的
女儿被劫而用瘟疫来消灭希腊军队,阿伽门农认为自己受到了侮辱,硬是将女俘克里塞斯留
在了自己的身边,阿喀琉斯愤而带领他的军队撤出了战斗,使特洛伊大将赫克托耳很快地杀
掉了还没有死于瘟疫的希腊士兵。又如,阿波罗因同玛耳绪比赛吹笛子而失败,便残酷地剥
了玛耳绪的皮,并把它挂在树上。再如月神与阿波罗兄妹,因尼俄泊嘲笑了他们的母亲提坦
巨人勒托只生下一子一女,并禁止忒拜妇女向勒托献祭,他们便射杀了尼俄泊众多的儿女。
不胜枚举。可见,在希腊神话故事中,神与人除了力量上的差别外,在情感上却是相同的。
当天神们脱掉神的外衣之后,个个就都成了世俗的凡人。中国诸神所普遍体现的献身精神,
更是希腊神话中的天神所不具备的。在希腊神话中,其开辟神话充满了血腥:宇宙最先生下
了卡俄斯、胸怀宽广的地母该亚、冥土塔耳塔洛斯、爱神厄洛斯。卡俄斯又生了黑夜之神尼
克斯和黑暗之神埃瑞波斯。尼克斯和埃瑞波斯结合后生下了太空和白昼。该亚则生了乌拉诺
斯、大海、高山。这时乌拉诺斯成了主宰,他与母亲该亚结合,生了六男六女共十二位天神。
后来,第一代主神乌拉诺斯被儿子克洛诺斯阉割了。克洛诺斯与妹妹瑞亚结合也生下了六男
六女,宙斯是最小的一个。克洛诺斯害怕他的儿女们像他推翻父亲一样来推翻他,便将自己的所有儿女都吞进了肚子之中。在宙斯出生之前,瑞亚在地母该亚的帮助
下逃到了克里特岛,上岛之后才生下了宙斯,宙斯这才幸免于难。后来宙斯联合诸神推翻了
父亲克洛诺斯,逼他吐出了哥哥姐姐们。宙斯于是便在奥林匹斯山上建立了神性王国,自己
做了至上神。这则希腊神话表明,宙斯的神界秩序是在代代天神们的血肉之躯上建立起来的,
更严重的是这种杀戮还都是骨肉之争。总之,《希腊神话故事》是我们了解西方文化的捷径。我们可以通过它,了解西方人文精
神的起源,了解西方古典艺术的辉煌,从而提高自身的文化修养。篇二:古希腊罗马神话读
