1.英语中有哪些谚语是来自古希腊神话故事

1.An Apple of Discord争斗之源；不和之因；祸根

An Apple of Discord直译为"纠纷的苹果"，出自荷马史诗Iliad中的希腊神话故事

传说希腊阿耳戈英雄（Argonaut）珀琉斯（Peleus）和爱琴海海神涅柔斯的女儿西蒂斯（Thetis）在珀利翁山举行婚礼，大摆宴席。他们邀请了奥林匹斯上（Olympus）的诸神参加喜筵，不知是有意还是无心，惟独没有邀请掌管争执的女神厄里斯（Eris）。这位女神恼羞成怒，决定在这次喜筵上制造不和。于是，她不请自来，并悄悄在筵席上放了一个金苹果，上面镌刻着"属于最美者"几个字。天后赫拉（Hera），智慧女神雅典娜（Athena）、爱与美之神阿芙罗狄蒂（Aphrodite），都自以为最美，应得金苹果，获得"最美者"称号。她们争执不下，闹到众神之父宙斯（Zeus）那里，但宙斯碍于难言之隐，不愿偏袒任何一方，就要她们去找特洛伊的王子帕里斯（Paris）评判。三位女神为了获得金苹果，都各自私许帕里斯以某种好处：赫拉许给他以广袤国土和掌握富饶财宝的权利，雅典娜许以文武全才和胜利的荣誉，阿芙罗狄蒂则许他成为世界上最美艳女子的丈夫。年青的帕里斯在富贵、荣誉和美女之间选择了后者，便把金苹果判给爱与美之神。为此，赫拉和雅典娜怀恨帕里斯，连带也憎恨整个特洛伊人。后来阿芙罗狄蒂为了履行诺言，帮助帕里斯拐走了斯巴达国王墨涅俄斯的王后——绝世美女海伦（Helen），从而引起了历时10年的特洛伊战争。不和女神厄里斯丢下的那个苹果，不仅成了天上3位女神之间不和的根源，而且也成为了人间2个民族之间战争的起因。

The Heel of Achilles 亦作The Achilles' Heel唯一弱点；薄弱环节；要害

The Heel of Achilles直译是"阿基里斯的脚踵"，是个在欧洲广泛流行的国际性成语。它源自荷马史诗Iliad中的希腊神话故事。

阿基里斯是希腊联军里最英勇善战的骁将，也是荷马史诗《伊利亚特》里的主要人物之一。传说他是希腊密耳弥多涅斯人的国王珀琉斯和海神的女儿西蒂斯所生的儿子。阿基里斯瓜瓜坠地以后，母亲想使儿子健壮永生，把他放在火里锻炼，又捏着他的脚踵倒浸在冥河（Styx）圣水里浸泡。因此阿基里斯浑身像钢筋铁骨，刀枪不入，只有脚踵部位被母亲的手捏住，没有沾到冥河圣水，成为他的唯一要害。在特洛伊战争中，阿基里斯骁勇无敌，所向披靡，杀死了特洛伊主将，著名英雄赫克托耳（Hector），而特洛伊的任何武器都无法伤害他的身躯。后来，太阳神阿波罗（Apollo）把阿基里斯的弱点告诉了特洛伊王子帕里斯，阿基里斯终于被帕里斯诱到城门口，用暗箭射中他的脚踵，负伤而死。

The Trojan Horse木马计；暗藏的危险；奸细

The Trojan Horse直译"特洛伊木马"，是个国际性成语，在世界各主要语言中都有。来自拉丁语equns Trojanus.这个成语甚至还进入到汉语词汇中。

这个成语出自荷马史诗《奥德赛》。希腊人和特洛伊人交战10年之久，胜负未决。最后，希腊著名的英雄奥德修斯（Odusseus）想出了一个木马计，用木头做了一匹巨马，放在特洛伊城外。全体希腊将士伪装撤退，乘船隐藏在附近的海湾里，而奥德修斯率领20名勇士事先藏进马肚。特洛伊人误认为希腊人已经败退，大开城门，看到城外的巨大木马，以为这是希腊人敬神的礼物，就把它当作战利品拖进城来，大摆宴席，欢庆胜利。到了半夜，特洛伊人好梦正在酣，毫无戒备的时候，藏在木马里的希腊英雄们都爬了出来，打开城门，发出信号，与附近海湾里返回的希腊大军里应外合，一举摧毁了特洛伊城。
