Medusa 那集的字幕如下~~~
Medusa
If looks could kill
You would be dead
Turned to stone with just one glance
This is the myth of Medusa
A monstrous female feared by all men on the battlefield and beyond
But she will be challenged by a surprisingly enemy
Behind the story lurks a stunning reality
Is Greece's most famous monster inspired by a huaman corpes?
And is her story based on actual science as seen in our naght sky ?
Discover the hidden meaning behind one of the greatest stories ever told
The hunt for the head of Medusa
This was once a garden
Now it is a graveyard littered with dead bodies
Each face frozen in a moment of terror
The fatal moment when it gazed upon Medusa
Her gaze penetrates right into your inner being and patrifies you from inside out
The myth of Medusa has capivated us for almost 3000 years
Today her image still commands instant recognition around the world
The Medusa that we often see
depicted on vases features a woman with boar's tusks
Snakes curling around her head instead of hair
Sometimes she is bearded very often she is grimacing
Facing us directly with her tongue lolling out of her mouth
Her eyes staring straight at you
In ancient Greece, myths made sense of a confusing world
Their stories recorded history,explained nature and dictated how people should live
The Medusa myth was no exception
They teach lessons to society and help them organize things
And I think the Medusa story gives us a window into certain kinds of values of ancient Greek society
It surely gives a sense of a rich portrait of men's experience
Insofar as they may well have felt,at some point in their lives
Completely under the spell of some bewitching type of women
Medusa can crush a man with a single,penetrating look
It is a power that makes her nearly invincible
The Medusa power awakens a number of fears in people
Especially men.this image of a all-powerful woman,whose gaze can't be averted whose gaze can see right through you to expose everything inside of
you that can freeze your tracks and somehow devour you and consume you
I think men in particular are very afraid of this sort of strong woman
To the ancient Greeks,Medusa's deadly image was one of the most terrifying in all of mythology
But she was not always a monster
According to the myth,Medusa was once a ravishing woman
Every man in Greece wanted to possess her
What she is described as was she is a beautiful woman with long flowing locks of hair
Every suitor wants to marry her she causes envy among everyone
But Medusa can't get married
She is a priestess of Athena,the goddess of war
And bound by an eternal bow of chastidy
Athena is a patron goddess of the great city of ancient Athens
She is also a virgin goddess,sex is not a part of her world
She is actually beyond the reach of any male desire
Servants in her temple would have been expected to be virginal
So they can devote their energies not to domestic issues and child rearing
But to the goddess' service
Mesuda the hideous image of evil starts out as a symbol of purity
This is the story but could it be based on reality ?
Athena's temple is no myth
It still stands today high atop the Acropolis in Athens the parthenon
In Greek it means &place of the virgin&
When it was completed in 430 BC it towered over the city of Athens
Any Greek city should have a great temple
It would be like any city in America having some kind of great sports stadium
So Athens being the most prominent city in ancient Greece wanted to have also a temple that befitted its magnificance and so they created the Parthenon
At the center of the temple stood a colossal statue of Athens
Nearly 40 feet high carved out of ivory and gold
It was one of the most impressive sights in the ancient world
In the myth,this is where Medusa's tragic fate unfolds
Medusa's beauty is off-limits locked away in the service to Athena
But one suitor will not let her vow of chastity stand in his way
Poseidon,god of the sea
Poseidon is this sort of very prominent,masculine power
He is the god of sea and god of storms and the god of earthquakes
Earthquakes don't just creep up on you,they hit you very hard
If he was angry,even just a little bit,he could explode violently and really do harm to you
In a fit of raw lust poseidon makes his move
And ravages the virgin preitess
He raped her inside of Athena's Temple,a sacrilegious act
He stole from her her virginity
Certainly this would be a crime in any time of the world
Mesusa is devastated
Her innocence has been stolen,her life changed forever
She was a rape victim she was no longer eligible for ordinary marriage according to the morals of Greek times
And she's no longer a virgin either so she wasn't able to be devoted to service to a goddess.
For certain religious rites you had to purify yourself from intercourse
So actually having intercourse in the Temple is desecrating that space
Hence Athena's anger and Athena is furious
But not with poseidon
As as powerful male god,this is expected of him
In the eyes of Athena,it is Medusa who deserves to be punished
The victim is about to become the accused
Athena's one of the guys
So she has this role that places her in the kind of male camp
She is going to side with the man
In a way it reflects a society where they considered women more as property value
They recognised at some point that rape is necessarily harmful to the woman but it doesn't seem in most of these myths
That there isn't any sympathy at all
And frequently the female figure who is raped is the one who's punished
Athena will impose a devastating sentence on her shattered preitess
She will transform Medusa from a beauty into a beast
Her new look will bear a terrifying resemblance to a frequent and real sight in ancient Greece
Human corpeses
Medusa mythology's heinous snake-haired beast
Can turn her enemies to stones with a single glance
Once she was Greece's greatest beauty
Desired by both men and gods
But after Poseidon raped her Medusa's world changed forever
The Medusa story is a tragedy
Because she wasn't even the prepetrator of the deed
It was Poseiton who raped her in Athena's temple
But she's than turned into a hideous monster
In the myth,the goddess Athena curses Medusa without warning
She begins an agonizing transformation
Clawing desperately at her face
Her skin cracks and withers
And her long silken hair becomes a writhing mass of poisonous snakes
Medusa's terrific transformation is almost complete
But there is one more twist
She is now gonna have to undergo the most powerful and most gut-wrenching of all the aspects of her curse
She'll have to be now a person whose very sight turns the looker into stone
It's now gonna isolate her from all of human society
Medusa is now no longer have any interactions with anyone else
So what Athena has effectively done is consign the poor girl to a kind of solitary confinement for the rest of her life
For the tragic crime of being raped
Medusa has lost her status her beauty and her ability to look at anyone without killing them
Now the final blow
She is banished to a remote and desolate island for life
Medusa is now gonna live out this curse for eternity
And for all eternity things don't really change
All that matters is that stone garden grows by one everytime someone tries to come closer to her
In the myth Medusa has become a type of monster called a Gorgon
A name that comes from the ancient Greek word for terrible
The gorgon is this horrible monster
It's got scaly skin huge staring eyes
And it can turn you into stone by looking at you
The earliest traditions we have of gorgons mention Medusa
Medusa becomes first a human being
Who's then transformed into one of those nasty beasts
In Greek myth gorgons represent the physical embodiment of myth
In fact death is what inspired them
The broad wide-open eyes the marks on the face the bloated face itself
The pull-back skin showing the teeth and the tongue protruding
Were inspired by the sight of a dead body
In the days after dying, the skin of a human corpes begins to shrink around the various parts of the body
The face becomes grotesquely bloaded
The eyes expanded out of their sockets
And the tongue swells pushing itself out of the mouth
Gradually the corpes morphs from man to monster
On photographs of dead bodies,you can see all these changes that are characteristic of the gorgon taking place
This is one of the things that people today aren't so familiar with
We were seperated from death early we have specialists to take care of dead bodies
But the truth is that in ancient times you wouldn't be insulated from this
People would see this sort of thing
Death is everywhere in the ancient world
In fact many other historical monsters are modelled on corpes
In the middle of the Aztec calender you find exactly the same features
You've got exactly the same oversized eyes you got the broad nose you got the rictus grin you've got the protruding tongue
You find it in bes,in Egypt
In India,you find many of the same features on Rahu
The demon responsible for the eclipse
In southeast Asia ,the Rangda the demon that kidnaps children also has huge pop-eyes and a very.very long tongue scrolling out of her mouth
The prominence of this gorgon symbol
In many different spots in ancient world gives us a real sense of just how widespread theses myths were
In the story Medusa is now a gorgon the mythical face of death
But her physical transformation is only the beginning of her punishment
Her hideous looks will make her an outcast but her petrifying power will make her a target
Because the worrier who beheads Medusa will possess the ultimate battlefield advantage
Her severed head will still turn men to stone
Men from all over the Mediterranean set out to slay Medusa and claim that power for themselves
One of them has more than glory at stake his name is Perseus
And his hunt for Medusa's head is one of the mythology's greatest adventures
The story of Perseus begins in Argos
A real region of southern Greece
In antiquity a lot of myths were actually situated in specific locations
Now this was important for the people who lived in those places
They could actually claim connection to one of these divine heroes
In the myth Argos is ruled by a tyrant named Acrisius
The king has a problem he has no male heir
The Greek world tried to retain property in families and the way you retain it families is you leave it to the first born son or the eldest male heir
Acrisius' only child is a daughter Dana she has no children of her own
So the king consults a prophetess to ask if she will ever bear him a grandson
Acrisius is told in prophecy that if his daughter ever had a child that child would rise up and kill him
He finds out that the son of his daughter is in fact going to kill him
He sort of freaks out and decides that he needs to prevent her from ever having a child to begin with
This fear of generational shift this fear of losing your power to your next generation was real
If you had a kid and you have something worth taking at some point you needed to keep an eye on the kid
Overcome by terror the king hatches a plan to save his own skin
Acrisius had his daughter Dana walled up inside of a tower
Where no one could see her
It was a pretty miserable existence
Dana is trapped with no fresh air and barely any food
It is the king's way of killing her without getting blood on his hands
The king kept waiting for news that his daughter had died and was very surprised that he never received news that she had died of starvation or thirst
After a while they began to see lights on and hear noise and sound coming from the tower
So Acrisius went to see what his daughter was up to
The king enters his daughter's chamber
And discovers to his horror that Dana is not only alive she is a mother to a son Perseus
Acrisius is stunned that someone accessed the secure tower and impregnated his daughter
But the baby's father isn't a mortal man he is the king of the Greek gods
Mythology's most prolific womaniser Zeus
Zeus,who seduced so many women in so many myths sees Dana through the grating and falls in love with her
And so he comes down to her in about the only shape that he could come through the bars which is a shower of gold
He took the form of a cascade of gold and poured himself into the room
And then was able to make love to her that way
Zeus' shower of gold may have been inspired by a real natural phenomenon
one named after Perseus
Perhaps the most impressive and visible meteorite shower in the sky is the Persean meteorite shower
Certainly it looks like a shower of gold coming down if you've ever stopped and watched it in August
You can see the individual streaks with the yellowish colour to them
In mythologies around the world women can be impregnated by various natural forces
It's not just the shower of gold that we had in the legend of Perseus
We have women and animals sometimes being impregnated by the wind
Or in many mythologies women become impregnated by the sun
Perseus is born both divine and mortal a type of hero known as a demi-god
So this demi-god idea means that this person has some features that are very godly some divine powers but at the same time he is mortal he can die
I suspect that the Greeks invented this idea of demi-gods because they wanted to reach the god as much as possible
To create images of themselves that are closer and closer to the gods
To fulfill his destiny as a demi-god
Perseus must first survive his grandfather's wrath
King Acrisius fears the boy will fulfill the prophecy he dreads and grow up to kill him
His first impulse is to murder both mother and child
But he fears Zeus' revenge
So he devises a plan to let nature do the killing for him
Acrisius decided to put both the mother and the child into a boat-like construction and them into the sea
Dana and Perseus have been left for dead with no food no direction and no protection from the dangers of the sea
Meanwhile on the dismal island beyond the waves Medusa is adding statues to her garden of death
Worriers turned to stone trying to capture her head
She possesses a power every conqueror desires even real conquerors like Alexander the Great
Medusa's power to turn men in stone may have spawned the famous phase &looks that kill&
But the ancient Greeks believed her power could be used for good as well as evil
In their language the name &Medusa& actually had a positive connotation
It meant &gardian&
Her image was often used to ward off danger she even appeared on the armour of some of the world's most feared warriors
Evidence of this can be found in one of the time capsules of the ancient world Pompei
When they were excavating the city in the 1830s archaeologists found a very large mosaic which depicts a battle between Alexander the Great
And the Persian king Darius
And on Alexander's breast plate is an image of Medusa
The battle field wasn't the only place where Medusa's powers were sought
She was also used to scare children
The idea was that you put the symbol on the outside of your stove
And this would prevent the children from opening up the oven door
Now the Medusa was something that Greek parents used to use in order to scare the kids in order to eat their food say &eat your food or I'll ask Medusa to get you& so it was something very horrendous very horrible,mesmerizing, very frightening
In the myth Medusa has a price on her head
Warriors from across the Greek world travel to her remote island seeking to steal it and and use his petrifying power as a weapon against their enemies
So far all who have tried made the same fatal mistake they looked at her first
The ancient stories are relatively silent on what Medusa must have thought and she is just sitting there living out her life amid a huge panoply of stone corpeses
You can imagine that it could have been a very strange situation
You've got little stalagmites of people all over the place and there she is all alone but never had the satisfaction of actually being engaged with anybody
So you can imagine Medusa living out her life kind of waiting for the next person to waft into her purview and get turned into stone
But one hero is determined to break her spell
As Medusa languishes among her statues Perseus is coming of age across the sea
When he was a baby he and his mother Dana were cast out to sea by his grandfather,king Acrisius
Mother and son were expected to die
But Perseus' divine father,Zeus,protected them
They washed up on the island called Serifos and settled there
He grows up into a nice and strapping young lad ,as it were very strong and also very strong-willed and very protective of his mother
Perseus has a very good reason to feel protective
The ruler of Serifos has plans for his mother
The king of Serifos was not enthusiastic about having Perseus around
Partly because he had his eye on Dana who was still a young woman and beautiful and he wanted to marry her
The king hatches a plan to take Perseus out of the picture
He demands an expansive gift from all of his subjects and vows to banish any who don't comply
He knows that Perseus is poor and won't be able to deliver
Perseus being a young man without a father and without a family
If you didn't have a father in ancient Greece it meant that you were very much a kind of social outcast
Didn't have any gifts to bring to the king Perseus is cornered
If he is exiled his mother will be forced into an unwanted marriage and be separated from him forever
He makes an impulsive decision with dead ramifications
Perseus says well I may not buy a great gift because I am poor but I'll gonna do something that no one else has been able to do I'll bring you the head of Medusa
It's a suicide mission
No one has ever returned from Medusa's island alive
But for Perseus there is no turning back
It's a matter of honour
He can't get out of it he has to bring the head of the Gorgon
If Perseus succeeds he will return home a hero with the statue to challenge a king and protect his mother
But if he fails he'll be turned to stone
In Greek mythology the names Perseus and Meduda are forever linked
The consummate hero and the ultimate monster
It is a story that began here,among these ruins
This is ancient Mycenae
According to legend this once great civilisation was founded by Perseus himself
Mycenae was the greatest of the ancient city-states back in the Bronze age and it ruled sway over a large swath of ancient Greece
For millennia it was thought that Mycenae just like Perseus and Medusa was a myth
The only surviving reference to it was in Homer's epic story ,the Illiad
But in the late 19th century a lost civilisation was rediscovered
Using Homer's epic poems as a guide archaeologists in the 19th century were actually able to lacate these great ancient citadels and what an amazing adventure it must have been to find out that not only was Homer talking about something that really existed
But now they themselves were in contact with it as well
Mycenae lies near Argos the city where Perseus is born in the myth
Its ruins are a window into the people who invented the story of Perseus and Medusa
Ancient Greeks who used methology to explain life's mysteries
The city structures were so massive later generations of Greeks believed they were built by gods
They would look at the ruins of those palaces and see monumental masonry this was kind of feat they couldn't imagine themselves doing
It seemed like something that only heroes can do
It was from these ruins that the story of Perseus sprang
This hero remembered for building the city and taking on Medusa
It is the ultimate challenge
Perseus confronts it with the bravado of a boy who is eager to prove himself a man
But he is woefully unprepared for the task at hand
Perseus has no weapons,no experience and no idea how to kill his target
Another piece that makes Medusa so terrifying is that they wouldn't have had a real sense of exactly what she looked like anyone who had seen her before Perseus would not have lived to tell the tale
So all he knew about was that there was this monster that was very hideous that if you ever caught eyes on her you would be frozen and turned to stone
He stalked off and began his adventure and it wasn't long before he realized that he had no idea where he was going
But as heroes often do and especially heroes whose fathers are gods
He soon gets supernatural aid
Lost in the wilderness Perseus does what many ancient Greeks would have done under the same circumstances,he prays
And the gods hear him
His father Zeus sends down a divine messenger,Hermes who gives Perseus the jumpstart he needs ,a pair of winged sandals
One of the things that Perseus has to do is travel long distances very fast
And being an era without airplanes here comes Hermes to offer a solution-those sandals with wings that he himself as a messenger of the gods uses so he gives them to Perseus so Perseus wears them and he can fly through the continents at the speed of,well,faster than a jet
Now the Perseus has a set of wings
What he really needs is a set of weapons
Perseus has everying going for him
I mean ,he has divine blood, he's got great powers he's been brought up to just on the cusp of manhood he's ready to take on these nasty beasts
But he needs more ,he's got to have technoloy
Hermes offers Perseus an inside tip
He advises him to locate the Stygian Nimghs,beautiful women who possess the magical weapons he needs to kill Medusa
The Nymphs are these female divinities who are associated with natural elements and they inhabit them so they are in springs,in mountains,and in trees
They are typically the objects of deep and powerful sexual desire and from this we get the idea of a &nymphomaniac&
The whereabouts of these nymphs are a mystery
Only three hideous women know how to find them,The Graeae sisters
They have been old,withered hags since the day they were born
And they don't like vistors
Perseus must get them to talk so he can save his mother and survive his face-off
with Medusa
It's a battle we can still see in today's night skies
If we look closely
Medusa,a deadly gorgon, has turned countless warriors into stone
But someone is still stalking her,Perseus, and he wants her head
His success will require more than boyish bravado
Perseus will need a powerful set of weapons to slay Medusa
To get them he must find the Stygian Nymphs
But only three wretched old women know where they live
The Graeae sisters
They are very strange
None of them have eyes except this one that they pass between each other
Whenever one wants to have a look at something
So they need to share it
Their eye is very precious to them
The island of the Graeae sisters is a dark realm,where even the moon does not shine
Perseus uses his trustee winged sandals to get there
Perseus is not just a hot-hearted brawny but he's also pretty smart
When he gets the island he realises he should do some reconnaissance to find out what their weaknesses might be before he proceeds
When he realises they only have the one eye and they're blind if they don't have it,he steals the eye from them as they're passing it around
The sisters fly into a blind panic
They are in a very abject position,it's like a beggar having his last farthing stolen from him
They are falling all over each other trying to get that eye back from him
Perseus has the upper hand
He demands the location of the Nymphs
The Graeae sisters reveal that they live on the river Styx
The waterway that separates the land of the living from the land of the dead
Perseus has what he came for
He tosses the eye onto the sand and takes to the skies
This is the myth,but how does it connect to reality?
The story,like many others in Greek mythology,may literally have fallen from the sky
Since the dawn of civilization mankind has looked at the heavens to explain the past,present and future
An awful of storytelling revolves around the things that you saw in the sky
The constellations that you see
Certainly we know that an awful lot of myths were tied to the constellations
We have,in the 5th century,Greeks naming the constellations by the names of mythical beings
And at that time,people not only saw the mythical creatures up in the sky as symbols,as mere presentations,but they actually believed that the constellations were divine
One especially curious pattern exists in the heavens
A hero holding a curved sword and the head of a gorgon
This is the constellation known as Perseus
A celestial blueprint for the myth
But there may be more to this cluster of stars
It may also reveal how the story of the Graeae sisters originated
The constellations themselves did things that inspired the portions of the myth
The second brightest stars in the constellation of Perseus is Algol,which is a very peculiar star
In the Perseus constallation,Algol form a point in Medusa's head
It is known as an eclipsing binary star
It appears as a single point of light in the sky
But it's actually two stars that orbit around one another
As they go they eclipse each other's light
Making Algol appear to dim and then get bright again
It is a three-day cycle that may have inspired the story of the three Graeae sisters
Algol is very bright for a while and then it goes out further rapidly every third day
This represents the stealing of the eye of the Graeae by Perseus as it tries to pass to the third Graeae,Perseus is in there among them and he steals the eye
And when he takes the eye, you can see it go out
Well,if you were a good storyteller,and if you kept track of this you know when the star is going to disappear, so you can start telling the story when the star is still bright and when you get to the part of the story where Perseus had stolen the eye,you can point up at the sky and say:&look,it's gone&
Algol's impact on the myth may not end with the Graeae sisters
Some experts believed it also inspired the climax of the story
Medusa's gruesome demise
The myth continues
Perseus is on a collision course with Medusa
The odds are stacked against him
To take on the monster he needs the right battle gear
He finds along the River Styx
The gateway to Hades where he encounters the Stygian Nymphs
They present Perseus with three weapons essential to his survival
The sword of Zeus,the shield of Athena,and the helmet of Hades,god of the dead
It reminds us irresistibly of James Bond getting all the fabulous devices from Q
Not only because he gets all these things to carry out his mission but because they have magical properties to them
Now Perseus is ready to fulfill his destiny and not a moment too soon
Back home in the island of Serifos,a royal wedding is in the works and Perseus' mother is the unwilling bride
Will her son slay Medusa and bring back her head before it's too late?
And how can he succeed where so many others before him have failed
The secret lies in his shield
Perseus' dangerous quest for the head of Medusa
Has taken him on a journey over thousands of miles
Now his moment of truth has arrived
He stands at the threshold of Medusa's deadly liar
The gods helped him get here but the rest is up to him
All that's around Medusa is rocks,very hard things
Anything that would have been living around would have been turned to stone
So it must have been a very bleak and desolate place
Perseus is frightened as he takes his first steps toward his fate
But they are not steps forward
The young hero is slowly creeping backwards
Perseus is very smart
And he realises that trying to attack Medusa head-on
Would be his own undoing
He'd be turned to stone
So what he does instead is gets his shield turn it round and actually approach her from behind
And he walks up to her backwards
Looking at her in a shield so that he's safe
You can imagine the tension building as he gets closer and closer
As far as he knows ,the shield will protect him
But he must not have really known for sure
Persues cautiously makes his way through the liar
Eyes locked on his shield
The slightest misstep will prove fatal
At last Perseus locks onto his target,closes his eyes and swings his sword
With one clean stroke the head of Medusa rolls to the floor
Her years of torment and insolation are finally over
There would have been great fascination for Medusa among ancient audiences
And whether they are rooting for her or against her
There would have been a great kind of sympathy for this poor person
I mean,think about what she'd been through and all that she'd lost
And the horrible life she was fated to live
And then her end point is to have a hero chop her head off
It is a tragic end for a tragic figure
But Medusa's story doesn't end here
One of the remarkable things about Medusa's head is even after she is dead
Even after she has been removed and stuffed in a bag
It still has the power to transform anyone who looks on her to stone
Medusa's unstoppable and terrifying but those forces can also be harnessed
And Perseus' story talks about that
When the head is inside the bag
Then it becomes a weapon that can be used for good as well as evil
Perseus is the owner of the most dangerous weapon on earth
He can turn anyone to stone
And he has a few targets in mind
His mother,Dana has been left with no one to protect her from the lecherous King os Serifos
She's about to be made a queen against her will
For Persues it is a race against time
As the hero flies home
It becomes clear just how powerful Medusa's head still is
As Perseus is flying with his winged sandals back acrossed to get to Greece, drops from her blood drop into the sand and from this spring up Hundreds and hundreds of poisonous snakes
Some nasty monsters in antiquity are so mean and awful that their blood actually produces other monsters
Medusa is one of those that have such powerful blood
The dripping blood from her head as Perseus was flying away was thought,in later tellings of the story to have given rise to all these snakes
That ancient romans knew to exist in North Africa
In the myth,the royal wedding day has arrived
The father of the bride has come from Argos
Perseus' own grandfather,King Acrisius
He has long feared the prophecy that his grandson would kill him
Perseus arrived just as the wedding ceremony is getting under way
When Perseus returned to Serifos and sees that his mother is about to marry the King
He becomes very angry
So he lifts up the head of Medusa and says
&King I have brought you your gift&
One glance turns the King to stone
His face frozen in an eternal scream
But he's not the only king who gets caught looking
Acrisius is also petrified
Dana has been saved by her son
And Perseus has owned his place as one of methology's bravest heroes
His death-defying journey has transformed him from a boy into a man
Perseus is particularly relatable among the ancient heroes
He is cast out at different points along the way
And only because of the extra love of his mother is he able to make his way through some very difficult times
He makes his mark in the world and he grows into his own
He becomes a real,true powerful hero
Someone that the Greeks can look up to
After he saves his mother
Perseus presents Medusa's head as a tribute to Athena
The goddess who created the monster
In the end ,it is Medusa's original punisher who inherits his power
There's a poetic quality to the ending of this story as Medusa's head becomes a icon on the breastplate of Athena
After all,this poor young girl started off his great misadventure by running a afoul of that goddess
Athena has the first and the last laugh
Medusa's story has come full circle
Her myth ends where it began in ancient Greece's greatest temple,the Parthenon
