标题: [讨论]大家对死神怎么看？ [打印本页] 作者: lxq0507 时间: 2006-2-14 22:48 标题: [讨论]大家对死神怎么看？ <P>阿努比斯[attach]179[/attach]（ANUBIS)(Yinepu, Anpu)<br>[attach]180[/attach]<br>阿努比斯(Anubis)是古埃及神话中的死神，有时也被看作冥界之神。他在象形文字中的名字发音更接近“安普”。</P>
<P>阿努比斯神是奈菲思的儿子，他的爸爸是奥赛里斯。相传，奈菲思把奥赛里斯灌醉后生下了阿努比斯。另外一种说法是：奈菲思把自己伪装成伊西斯去诱惑奥赛里斯，然后生下了阿努比斯。</P>
<P>阿努比斯长有胡狼(抑或其他犬科动物)的头，胡狼是他的象征。这个胡狼的形象是与他在神话中的角色息息相关的。因为胡狼是一种食腐动物，是尸体的清除者，与死亡有着密切的联系。他同时也被看作是死者的守护者。在艺术作品中，阿努比斯被描绘为一位长着胡狼头的男性，竖着耳朵，手执一根鞭子。</P>
<P>阿努比斯最初是冥界之王，然而随着对欧西里斯崇拜的产生，他变成了看门人。作为看门人，阿努比斯的主要职责是：用将死者的灵魂与玛特(Maat)的羽毛在天平上对比。如果灵魂与羽毛一样轻，阿努比斯就带他去见欧西里斯，否则则将他喂给阿米特（Ammit）。<br>阿努比斯神是帮助死者通往地下世界的神。相传，他因发明了制作干尸的方法而受到崇拜。</P>
<P>埃及人认为，阿努比斯神帮助死者保存尸体，这样死者才能复活。阿努比斯神被描绘为长着狐狼头拥有神权的人。他的象征是黑白相间的公牛皮溅满血迹悬于杆上。其中的意思至今无人能知。</P>
<P>阿努比斯神有三个重要的特点。他掌管着尸体防腐的方法；他把木乃伊送入墓穴然后掌管着他们的灵魂；更重要的是他保护死者不受欺骗和保证他们能够复活。在埃及的早期历史中，阿努比斯神被称为死神。后来这一角色被奥赛里斯所代替。</P>

<P>哈得斯(Hades)：宙斯的兄弟；掌管冥府，同时也是财富之神；有一顶可以隐身的帽子；残忍，可怕，但很守信。</P>
<P align=left><FONT size=3>Hades (also known as Aides) is Zeus' brother and ruler of the </FONT><a href="http://thanasis.com/homewk06.htm" target="_blank" ><FONT size=3>Underworld</FONT></A><FONT size=3> and the dead. He was also called Pluto - God of Wealth - because the precious metals buried deep in the earth were in his kingdom. Another reason that the people called him Pluto is because they did not like to pronounce the dreaded name of Hades or Aides.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=3>The name Pluto was used by both the Greeks and the Romans, and it translates into Latin as Dis - "Rich". The Romans also substituted Orcus and Tartarus as synonymous to Pluto. Although he was an Olympian, he spent most of the time in his dark castle in the Underworld. This Lord of Hell, who was formidable in battle, proved his ferociousness in the famous battle of the Olympians versus the Titans, which established the rule of Zeus.</FONT></P>
<P><br></P>
<P>[attach]183[/attach]<br></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=3>Because of his dark and morbid personality he was not especially liked by neither the gods nor the mortals. His character is described as "fierce and inexorable", and by far of all the gods he was most hated by mortals. He was not however an evil god, for although he was stern, cruel and unpitying, still he was just. Hades ruled the Underworld and therefore most often associated with death and was feared by men, but he was not Death itself - The actual embodiment of Death was another god, <STRONG>Thanatos</STRONG>.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=3>(Thanatos was the Greek personification of death who dwells in the lower world. In Homer's Iliad he appears as the brother of <STRONG>Hypnos</STRONG> ("sleep"). The Greek writer Hesiod makes these two spirits the sons of Nyx, but they had no father. In the theater Thanatos was sometimes introduced as a character. His attributes are an inversed torch, wreath, or butterfly.)</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=3>(Hypnos is the personification of sleep in Greek mythology. He is the son of Nyx and Erebus, and the twin of Thanatos ("death"). Both he and his brother live in the underworld. He gave Endymion the power of sleeping with open eyes so he could see his beloved, the moon goddess Selene. Hypnos is portrayed as a naked young man with wings attached to his temples, or as a bearded man with wings attached to his shoulders.)</FONT></P>
<P>Hades is always represented as a stern, dark, bearded man, with tightly closed lips, a crown on his head, a sceptre and a key in hand, to show how carefully he guards those who enter his domains, and how vain are their hopes to escape. No temples were dedicated to him, and his statues are very rare.</P><br>[attach]184[/attach]<br>
<P align=left><FONT size=3>Black animals, such as sheep, were sacrificed to him and it is believed that at one time even human sacrifices were offered. The person who offered the sacrifice had to turn away his face. Every hundred years festivals were held in his honor, called the Secular Games.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=3>Hades ruled the dead, assisted by demons over whom he had complete authority. He strictly forbade his subjects to leave his domain and would become quite enraged when anyone tried to leave, or if someone tried to steal his prey from him. Very few people ever visited the Underworld and were permitted to leave - In Homer's Iliad, we are told that Heracles (Hercules) was forbidden by Hades to enter his kingdom, but the great Greek hero wounded Hades with an arrow and attained victory.</FONT></P>

<P align=left>Besides Heracles, few other living persons ventured to the Underworld: Er, Achilles, Odysseus, Aeneas, and Theseus are among those heroes who descended to Hades while they were still living. None of them was especially pleased with what they witnessed in the realm of the dead. In particular the Trojan War hero Achilles, whom Odysseus met in Hades (although some believe that Achilles dwells in the Isles of the Blest), said:</P>

<P align=center><B>"Do not speak soothingly to me of death, glorious Odysseus. I should choose to serve as the hireling of another, rather than to be lord over the dead that have perished."<br></B>(Achilles' soul to Odysseus. Homer, Odyssey 11.488)</P></CENTER>
