Ø Owl (貓頭鷹)
The
modern West generally associates owls with wisdom. This link goes back at least as far
as Ancient Greece, where Athens, noted for art and scholarship, and
Athena, Athens' patron goddess and the goddess of wisdom,
had the owl as a symbol.
Ø Atreus
In Greek
mythology, Atreus
was a king of
Mycenae in the Peloponnese, the son of Pelops and Hippodamia, and the father of Agamemnon and Menelaus. Collectively,
his descendants are known as Atreidai or Atreidae.
Ø Thebes
Thebes is
a city in Boeotia, central Greece. It played an important role in Greek myth,
as the site of the stories of Cadmus, Oedipus, Dionysus and others.
Archaeological excavations in and around Thebes have revealed a Mycenaean
settlement and clay tablets written in the Linear B script, indicating the
importance of the site in the Bronze Age.
Ø Oedipus
Oedipus was
a mythical
Greek king of Thebes, the son and killer of Laius, son and consort of Jocasta, and father and
sibling of Polynices, Eteocles, Antigone, and Ismene. A tragic hero in Greek
mythology, Oedipus accidentally fulfilled the prophecy, despite his efforts not
to, that he would end up killing his father and marrying
his mother, thereby
bringing disaster to his city and family. When the truth was discovered,
his wife-mother hanged herself, and Oedipus gouged out his own eyes. They had
four children together. The story of Oedipus is the subject of Sophocles's
tragedy Oedipus the King, which was followed by Oedipus at Colonus
and then Antigone. Together, these plays make up Sophocles's three Theban
plays. Oedipus represents two enduring themes of Greek myth and drama: the
flawed nature of humanity and an individual's role in the course of destiny in
a harsh universe.
Ø Altar
An altar
is any structure upon which offerings such as sacrifices and worship are made
for religious purposes. Altars are usually found at shrines, and they can be located in
temples, churches and other places of worship. Today they are used
particularly in Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Shinto, Taoism, as well as in
Neopaganism and Ceremonial Magic. Judaism used such a structure until the
destruction of the Second Temple. Many
historical faiths also made use of them, including Greek and Norse religion.
Ø Theatre of Dionysus(酒神)
Ø Asclepius(醫神)
A god of medicine in ancient
Greek religion
and mythology. Asclepius represents the healing aspect of the medical arts; his
daughters are Hygieia
("Hygiene", the goddess/personification of health, cleanliness, and sanitation), Iaso (the goddess of recuperation from illness), Aceso (the goddess of the
healing process), Aglæa/Ægle (the goddess
of beauty, splendor, glory, magnificence, and adornment), and Panacea (the goddess of universal remedy). He was
associated with the Roman/Etruscan god Vediovis. He was one of Apollo's sons,
sharing with Apollo the epithet Paean ("the Healer").The rod of
Asclepius, a
snake-entwined staff, remains a symbol of medicine today. Those physicians and
attendants who served this god were known as the Therapeutae of Asclepius.
