雅典人和底比斯人这篇寓言故事我看了几遍以后,也没有理解到底是啥寓意,但是我想说的是,谁是英雄又如何,把自己当成自己心中的英雄才最重要。
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.”
