THE ATHENIAN AND THE THEBAN
An Athenian and a Theban were on the road together,and passed the time in conversation,as is the way of travellers After discussing a variety of subjects they began to talk about heroes,a topic that tends to be more fertile than edifying Each of them was lavish in his praises of the heroes of his own city,until eventually the Theban asserted that Hercules was the greatest hero who had ever lived on earth,and now occupied a foremost place among the gods;while the Athenian insisted that Theseus was far superior,for his fortune had been in every way supremely blessed,whereas Hercules had at one time been forced to act as a servant And he gained his point,for he was a very glib fellow,like all Athenians;SO that the Theban,who was no match for him in talking, cried at last in some disgust,“All right,have your way;I only hope that, when our heroes are angry with US,Athens may suffer from the anger of Hercules,and Thebes only from that ofTheseus.”
一到雅典卫城博物馆的'门口,我就看到了一个猫头鹰雕像和博物馆底下的遗迹。猫头鹰是雅典的保护神雅典娜的化身,因此,雅典人很爱猫头鹰。进到博物馆,我就看见了山坡走廊展区,这个展区展示的大多都是古希腊人日常生活使用器皿和工具。还有一小部分浮雕在这里。
到了博物馆二层,我看见了大部分的浮雕和雕塑。其中让我印象最深的还是伊瑞克提翁神庙里的女神柱。女神柱就像六名妇女在顶着花盆。考虑到要撑起整个房顶,设计师打算把她们的脖子雕粗,但是一个人脖子太粗又不好看,于是就在她们的脖子后面让工匠雕了一条条长辫子。这样就既美观又好看了,真是两全其美啊!
由于时间已经到了,我没看顶楼的帕特农展区就走了。真希望还能再来一次啊!
