海伦是世上最美丽的女人。她也是一位臭名昭著的女人。她点燃了特洛伊的战火,并给特洛伊城造成了巨大的破坏。海伦是宙斯的女儿。她无可匹敌的美丽和魁力使希腊各地的英雄们都迷恋于她。她小的时候被提修斯掠走。提修斯想有一个神性的妻子。但后来海伦被其兄卡斯特救出,带回到了故土。海伦的继父将她嫁给了斯巴达的国王墨涅劳斯。

在帕利斯来访斯巴达之前,海伦的婚姻生活比较平静。海伦被帕利斯可爱的面容迷住。当墨涅劳斯国王不在时,他们就相互偷情,之后一起乘船私奔到了特洛伊城。海伦将幼小的女儿留在了斯巴达。为了夺回海伦,希腊军队越过海峡,将特洛伊城紧紧包围。

一天正当海伦静静地将自己的经历编织成一块金色的 毯时,有人叫她在特洛伊城上观看墨涅劳斯和帕利斯的决斗。墨涅劳斯决心杀死帕利斯。坐在皮安姆国王旁边,她将希腊一方的首领告诉了国王。当她看到城墙下前夫的身影时,爱的热泪流满了眼帘。帕利斯战败逃离战场后,她的感觉是既爱又卑视。她鼓励海格特和帕利斯再次走上战场,并真诚地为真正的英雄海格特的死而哀痛。但当奥德修斯和狄俄墨德斯化装后来偷窃雅典娜神像时,她竭尽全力帮助了她们。帕利斯战死后,她成了皮安姆国王另一个儿子的妻子。

与此同时墨涅劳斯焦急地在毁坏的特洛伊宫中寻找海伦。爱神阿芙罗狄蒂使海伦变得更美丽了。结果当墨涅劳斯终于发现躲在角落中发抖的海伦时,极不情愿将利剑刺向她那迷人的面孔。而他内心正为夺回海伦暗自高兴,海伦跟随墨涅劳斯穿过特洛伊城的废墟,她深为自己的不洁行为感到耻辱。一想到自己将在希腊军营中遭受的命运,她就心惊胆颤。

她的美丽再次拯救了她。没有人能忍心将剑刺向令人销魂,妩媚动人的女子之身。在墨涅劳斯的帐篷中,海伦跪在斯巴达国王的脚下,乞求饶恕。看到眼前的情形,墨涅劳斯深受感动,他扶起海伦,让她忘掉过去的一切。墨涅劳斯将她抱起来时,海伦的两眼流出幸福与悲伤的泪水。他们俩像以前那样相爱,一同消失在遥远的西方。

But one day an oracle from Delphi prophesied that he would be killed by the son of felt so upset that his love suddenly changed to fear and hatred. To avoid the disaster he built a tall bronze tower,wherein he shut Danaeup with her kept the key of the tower himself,and left only the roof open for Danae to take an occasional look at the blue sky above. One bright sunny morning Danae felt a childish joy at the sight of the clear,blue sky and longed for freedom when a golden shower of sunlight shot through the open roof and spread all over her.A wave of happiness spread all over her,and Zeus himself stood before her in his splendour and won her.

Some time later,a guard came rushing into King Acrisius' palace and told the astonished king that Danae had given birth toa son. The baby was called Perseus.

Answering the sad prayers of the poor mother,Zeus had the chest swept onto the land of the Seriphos. Polydectes,king of the country,treated them at first with kindness,but afterwards with cruelty. When Perseus was grown up,Polydectes sent him to kill Medusa.

Medusa had been a beautiful maiden,but as she once violated Athena' s temple in Lybia the goddess changed her beautifulhair into snakes and her body into that of a monster. So ugly and terrible was she that anyone looking on her face was immediatelyturned to stone. But Athena and other gods came to help Perseus. Athena lent him her brightly polished shield in which she warned him to look at the reflection of Medusa only; Hades gave him his helmet which made its wearer invisible;and Hermesoffered him his winged shoes so that he could travel fast overlong distances. From the gods he also took a sword and a magic wallet.

Acting on the advice of Athena,Perseus travelled west and first sought out the three grey women,known as the Graeae whok new the whereabouts of Medusa. These women had one toothand one eye between them,so Perseus grabbed the tooth and theeye from them and forced them to tell him the truth. This the grey women did,and one night while flying across the sky theyoung man found Medusa sleeping on a rock. Flying down,hestruck off the head of Medusa and turned back to the land where he had left his mother.

阿尔戈斯国王阿克里西俄斯是许泊涅斯特拉的孙子。他的女儿达那厄非常美丽。他对女儿如此宠爱,因此在丧妻之后他决定不再另娶。但是一天来自特尔斐城的一个先知者预言他将死在达那厄儿子的手上。他感到很沮丧,突然之间爱转变成恐惧与仇恨。为了避免灾难的发生,他建造了一座高高的铜塔,把达那厄和她的佣人关在里面。只有他有塔的钥匙。塔顶留有开口,达那厄只能从这里偶尔看看蓝天。在一个阳光明媚的早晨,看到晴朗的蓝天。她感到孩子般的喜悦并渴望自由。金色的阳光透过敞开的塔顶倾泻下来将她笼罩。幸福的暖流传遍她的全身。站在她面前的是宇宙之王宙斯。他辉煌伟大,赢得了她的心。

过了一段时间,一名卫士急匆匆地来到国王阿克里西俄斯的王宫。惊讶的国王被告知达那厄生下了一个儿子,名叫柏修斯。阿克里西俄斯当即决定母子俩都得死,这样他才能保住性命。很快他就令人做了一只大箱子,把达那厄母子俩关在里面,并把他们扔到海里漂流。这位可怜的母亲的祈祷得到了宙斯的回应。宙斯让箱子漂到赛瑞费斯国。该国国王波吕得克忒斯先是友好地招待他们,后来却变得残忍无情。柏修斯长大成人后,波吕得克忒斯派他去杀墨杜萨。

墨杜萨曾是一位美丽少女。但是因她亵渎了雅典娜在利比尔的神殿,女神就把它的美发变成了蛇,她的身体也成了怪物的体态。她丑陋狰狞,任何人只要看到她的面孔就会立即变成石头。雅典娜和其他的神向柏修斯伸出了救援的手。雅典娜借给他闪亮的盾。她警告他只能看墨杜萨映在上面的像。哈得斯借给他隐身盔甲;海尔墨斯为他提供带翼鞋,穿上它就能快步如飞。从神那里还得到了剑和魔袋。

遵照雅典娜的忠告,柏修斯向西走,他首先找到了格赖埃三姐妹。她们知道墨杜萨的行踪。这三位妇人共用一颗牙,一只眼。于是,柏修斯抓着他们的牙和眼,强迫她们道出实情。一天晚上,年轻人飞越天空时,他发现了在岩石上睡觉的墨杜萨。他飞下去砍掉了墨杜萨的头。然后转身走向与母亲告别的地方。
