After reading the book Greek Mythology, Im sure everybody is interested in the goddess in this fantastic masterpiece, so I will share with you some of our ideas.Juno was the principal wife of Jupiter, and, as queen of heaven, participated in the honors paid to Jupiter. Juno appears to be the sublime embodiment of strict, matronly and virtue, and is on that account the protectress of purity and married women. Faultless herself in her fidelity as a wife, she is essentially the type of the sanctity of the marriage tie. So strongly was she imbued with this hatred of any immorality, that, finding herself so often called upon to punish the failings of both gods and men in this respect, she became jealous, harsh, and vindictive. She seemed to be hard-hearted to those gods who were sent many blessings by Jupiter. Latona was just a typical example. Juno changed herself into fierce and dreadful forms to frighten Latona and her children - Apollo and Diana to run from the beautiful garden which Jupiter had found for her. Then she followed and tormented Latona in many ways such as sent wild animals to howl horribly behind her when Latona grew tired and to rest. Juno also changed Callisto into a great furry bear when she found that Jupiter was so pleased with Callistos charm and goodness.Her exalted position as the wife of the supreme deity, combined with her extreme beauty, caused her to become exceedingly vain, and she consequently resented with great severity any infringement on her rights as queen of heaven, or any apparent slight on her personal appearance. Junos character was just like a jealous and manipulative woman in our daily life. Venus was appointed goddess of Love and MarriageShe represented sex, affection and the attraction that binds people together. With the help of her little son，Eros，the god of love，she made many a tale of happiness and sadness in the life of gods and menThough Venus was regarded as the symbol of extreme beauty, she still showed a human-like emotion.Venus was much vexed by Psyche who was a princess famous of her beauty. Although her little son Eros - - the god of love fell in love with Psyche. Venus tried every method to break them up. Obviously, Venus was jealous of Psyches beauty. In another story, Venus made Pygmalions (a sculptor) dream come true, only because she was delighted with the loveliness of Pygmalions statue which looked much like herself. Venus spent all her life in the pursuit of love, but her enthusiasm for love is temporary. Whats more, she isnt single-minded in love. Venus created a personality image with strong vanity and beautiful appearance. She stressed the womens instinct to pay more attention to the appearance. And these points made Venus more act like human beings. Besides Juno and Venus, Greek Mythology has also showed how other goddesses dealt with love. Selene, the moon-goddess, made the young shepherd Endymion sleep forever to keep his mortals everlasting youth and beauty. Daphne, the daughter of the river god, asked her father to help her when Apollo, the great sun-god, kept on following her. She finally became a laurel tree to avoid being caught by Apollo. The result proved that love can not be a unilateral thing whether for humans or for gods.Moreover, Greek Mythology gives people a warning to take notice of their behavior. Arachne was a woman who used to spin all day long. Because of her arrogance and lack of gratitude, her teacher Minerva, the patron goddess of spinning and weaving, turned her into the “Spinner”, which is now called spider.In Greek mythology, the goddesses are different from those in ancient Chinese mythology. They have the same emotion like human beings. So the Greek mythology was not only a classical literary, but also a great reference for us. It is an important part of the ancient culture which has vast and deep influence on the whole western culture. We can learn not only interesting things but encyclopedic information from it. Well, we have found that a great number of words and idioms in the English language come from Greek mythology. As the end of our presentation, lets have a look at these vocabularies which derive from Greek mythology. Some English words have its roots in the gods names in Greek mythology, for example: Flora is the Greek goddess of flowers. Her husband Zephyr gave her a garden. In spring, they walk arm in arm in the garden where all flowers bloom together. Cognate words: floral（花的， 植物的）, florist（种花人）, flourish(繁荣， 茂盛)。 Pan is the Greek god of mountain. He has a body like humans, but he also has sheeps feet with horns on the head. He likes wandering in the mountains. People were very fear with his strange voice and scared face. Pan as the root is the equivalent of fear. So “panic” means “frightened”. Psyche was a princess who was known far and wide for her beauty. Venus was jealous of her beauty. While her little son Eros, the god of love fell in love with Psyche. Venus finally failed to break them up. Later Psyche became the incarnate of humans spirits. Psyche as the root is the equivalent of soul and spirit. Cognate words: psychoanalyst(精神分析家)；psychology(心理学).Greek Mythologys great influence upon the English language and literature is beyond description. In short, the story of Greek mythology behind the many hidden truths and wisdom, it is necessary for us to taste slowly, slowly digested Thanks for your listening!

So strongly was she imbued with this hatred of any immorality, that, finding herself so often called upon to punish the failings of both gods and men in this respect, she became jealous, harsh, and vindictive. 无自己的忠诚作为一个妻子，她基本上是神圣的婚姻关系的类型。如此强烈，她充满这仇恨任何不道德的行为，即，发现自己经常呼吁惩罚上帝和人类在这方面的失败，她非常嫉妒，苛刻的，恶意的。She seemed to be hard-hearted to those gods who were sent many blessings by Jupiter. Latona was just a typical example. Juno changed herself into fierce and dreadful forms to frighten Latona and her children - Apollo and Diana to run from the beautiful garden which Jupiter had found for her. Then she followed and tormented Latona in many ways such as sent wild animals to howl horribly behind her when Latona grew tired and to rest. Juno also changed Callisto into a great furry bear when she found that Jupiter was so pleased with Callistos charm and goodness.她似乎很狠心的神的人被送祝福的朱皮特。拉托那仅仅是一个典型的例子。朱诺把自己变成凶猛可怕的形式来吓唬拉托娜和她的孩子阿波罗和戴安娜，使他们离开了漂亮的花园，朱诺已经找到她。然后她接着折磨拉托娜在许多方面，如把野生动物拼命嚎叫在她当拉多娜累了，休息。朱诺也改变了克里斯托变成了一只毛茸茸的熊的时候，她发现朱皮特对于克里斯托的魅力和善良很高兴。Her exalted position as the wife of the supreme deity, combined with her extreme beauty, caused her to become exceedingly vain, and she consequently resented with great severity any infringement on her rights as queen of heaven, or any apparent slight on her personal appearance. Junos character was just like a jealous and manipulative woman in our daily life.她的崇高作为最高神的妻子的地位，加上她极端的美，使她成为非常虚荣，她因此有很大程度的任何侵犯她的权利为天后，或任何明显的轻微的对她外表的。朱诺的性格就像是我们日常生活中的嫉妒和操控的女人。Venus was appointed goddess of Love and MarriageShe represented sex, affection and the attraction that binds people together. With the help of her little son，Eros，the god of love，she made many a tale of happiness and sadness in the life of gods and menThough Venus was regarded as the symbol of extreme beauty, she still showed a human-like emotion.维纳斯被任命为爱情和婚姻的女神。她代表性，情感和结合的人在一起的吸引力。在她的小儿子，爱神的帮助，神的爱，她在神和人的生活使很多故事的快乐和悲伤。虽然维纳斯作为美的象征，她仍然表现出类似人类的情感。Venus was much vexed by Psyche who was a princess famous of her beauty.

Whats more, she isnt single-minded in love. Venus created a personality image with strong vanity and beautiful appearance. She stressed the womens instinct to pay more attention to the appearance. And these points made Venus more act like human beings.维纳斯花了她一生都在追求爱情，但是她的热情，爱是暂时的。与此同时，她对爱情不专一。维纳斯创造人格形象具有很强的虚荣心和漂亮的外表。她强调女性的本能；注重外表。这些点使维纳斯更像人类。Besides Juno and Venus, Greek Mythology has also showed how other goddesses dealt with love. Selene, the moon-goddess, made the young shepherd Endymion sleep forever to keep his mortals everlasting youth and beauty.
