希腊神话中的凯特王

卡特鲁斯是古希腊神话中的国王之一,克里特岛的统治者,他的死可以说与他一生中发生的任何事情一样重要。

米诺斯之子卡特鲁斯

卡特鲁斯是克里特岛著名国王的儿子、 米诺斯 他的母亲是阿斯特里翁国王的女儿克里特。

作为米诺斯国王的儿子,卡特鲁斯有很多兄弟姐妹,包括阿里阿德涅、 Deucalion 格劳克斯和 菲德拉 不过,卡特鲁斯确实在他父亲之后成为了克里特国王。

卡特雷乌斯本人有三个女儿:爱洛佩(Aerope)、阿佩莫西尼(Apemosyne)和克莱梅涅(Clymene),还有一个儿子阿尔泰米尼斯(Althaemenes)。 卡特雷乌斯孩子们的母亲未被提及。

卡特雷乌斯的预言

卡特鲁斯国王在位期间没有什么值得一提的事情,不过克里特国王曾收到过一个预言,说他自己的一个孩子会杀了他。

卡特鲁斯起初对预言没有采取任何行动,但他的儿子阿尔泰米尼斯在某一时刻发现了预言的内容。

阿尔泰墨涅斯不想成为父亲死亡的罪魁祸首,于是自我放逐到罗得岛。 阿尔泰墨涅斯带着阿佩莫西涅,成为一个叫克里提尼亚的地区的国王。

随后,卡特鲁斯也采取了行动,将自己与剩下的两个孩子分开,把爱罗佩和克莱门交给了瑙普利斯。

瑙普利乌斯是一位有名的英雄,他是 "瑙普利乌斯号 "船员中的一员。 阿尔戈 卡特鲁斯的想法是,瑙普利乌斯会把他的女儿们运到某个遥远的地方,然后可能把她们当作 "奴隶 "卖掉。

瑙普利乌斯确实从克里特岛带走了卡特雷乌斯的女儿们,尽管他娶了克莱梅涅,克莱梅涅为他生了帕拉米迪斯;埃罗佩被安置在迈锡尼,她在那里嫁给了阿特柔斯,是阿伽门农和米奈劳斯的母亲。

卡特鲁斯之死

尽管相隔万里,但关于卡特鲁斯之死的预言最终还是应验了。

多年过去了,卡特鲁斯年事已高,克里特岛国王希望将王位传给他的儿子阿尔泰米尼斯。 于是,卡特鲁斯启程前往罗得岛,但当他和他的部下在岛上登陆时,当地人误以为他们是海盗,开始攻击他们。

卡特鲁斯无法说清自己的身份,这时阿尔泰米尼斯赶到了现场,他想帮助自己的臣民,阿尔泰米尼斯扔出了长矛,结果杀死了自己的父亲。 就这样,卡特鲁斯被自己的孩子杀死了,就像多年前预言的那样;阿尔泰米尼斯后来在祈祷时被大地吞没了。

卡特鲁斯的葬礼

卡特鲁斯国王在希腊神话中最重要的角色可以说是在他死后,因为已故国王的遗体被送回克里特岛举行葬礼仪式和游戏。

克里特岛上的重要人物来自世界各地,但值得注意的是 米奈劳斯 作为卡特雷乌斯家族的男性成员,又是埃罗佩的儿子,墨奈劳斯当然应该在场。 不过,这意味着他要离开斯巴达王国,而此时特洛伊王子帕里斯正在访问。

帕里斯当然会趁国王不在的时候绑架海伦,带着国王的妻子和大量斯巴达财宝扬长而去,这一举动引发了特洛伊战争。
