希腊神话中的 Cyparissus

希腊神话中赛帕里索斯的故事,就是一个用转化来解释植物或树木存在的例子;因为赛帕里索斯产生了赛柏树。

基奥斯的赛帕里索斯

Cyparissus 是一位英俊的青年,有人说他是基克拉迪群岛之一的 Ceos 的居民。 Cyparissus 的美貌吸引了阿波罗神的注意,很快阿波罗和 Cyparissus 就成了恋人。

阿波罗会送给赛帕里萨斯一头雄鹿以示爱意,这头雄鹿成了这位英俊青年的宠物,甚至驯服到可以被赛帕里萨斯骑乘。

但有一天,赛帕里萨斯在狩猎时不小心把标枪扔到了雄鹿身上,杀死了雄鹿。

赛帕里索斯的转变

赛帕里萨斯悲痛欲绝,他向阿波罗祈祷,希望能让他永远哀悼下去;阿波罗告诫他不要这样做,但赛帕里萨斯仍然悲痛欲绝,于是富有同情心的阿波罗把他变成了一棵柏树。

今天,我们可以看到柏树的汁液像眼泪一样顺着树干流下来。

与希腊神话中的变身故事一样,赛帕里萨斯故事的主要来源是奥维德的《赛帕里萨斯》。 变形记 尽管还有其他版本的故事,但细节上的差异仅在于 Cyparissus 的情人的名字,两者都是 Zephyrus 而希尔瓦娜斯则是阿波罗的替代品。
