宙斯的玛雅情人

玛雅和她的姐妹们最初被称作山中仙女,因为她们居住在 Cyllene 山上,她们的职责是充当阿尔忒弥斯的处女侍女。 很快,昴宿星团的美丽吸引了许多男神的注意,而作为最美丽的仙女,宙斯对玛雅情有独钟。

玛雅试图躲避宙斯的进攻,躲进了昔利尼山上的一个山洞里,但当宙斯发现她在山洞里时,她已经无路可逃了,也许是玛雅睡着的时候,宙斯对她动了手脚。

马娅-赫耳墨斯之母

怀孕的玛亚不能再成为阿尔忒弥斯的随从,10 个月周期过后,玛亚会在她怀孕的那个山洞里生下宙斯的儿子。 玛亚和宙斯的这个儿子后来被命名为赫耳墨斯。

据说赫尔墨斯是在黎明时分由玛娅所生,但当他的母亲熟睡时,玛娅和宙斯的儿子却度过了多事的一天,因为到了中午,据说他用在洞口外发现的龟壳发明了琴,下午,据说他独自前往帖撒利。 就在帖撒利的当天晚上,赫尔墨斯会偷跑出去然后,他回到了 Cyllene 山。

阿波罗很快就会指责他刚出生的同父异母的弟弟,有人说玛娅为她的新儿子求情,也有人说玛娅在观察赫耳墨斯返回洞穴的过程。

不过,阿波罗和赫耳墨斯之间的争执很快就解决了,因为作为对偷牛的补偿,赫耳墨斯把新发明的琴送给了阿波罗,从此琴就成了阿波罗的象征。

马亚和阿卡斯

玛雅将被命名为希腊哺乳母亲女神,使玛雅成为希腊万神殿中与母性有关的众多女神之一,其他女神包括 莱托 玛亚(Maia)受到人们的尊崇,她的名字在罗马时期仍然适用,这也是英语中五月的由来。

在《阿卡斯》的故事中,玛雅将扮演母亲女神的角色。 阿卡斯 宙斯让赫耳墨斯把阿卡斯带到玛亚,昴宿星仙女随后抚养了宙斯的儿子。

马亚和猎户座

作为昴宿星团姐妹中的一员,玛雅也参与了猎户座的故事。 据说 猎户座 希望与每个昴宿星团共眠。

据说阿耳忒弥斯为了保护她的侍女,请求宙斯阻止猎户座利用玛雅和她的姐妹。 宙斯首先将仙女们变成鸽子,但猎户座的追踪能力很强,他甚至能在仙女们飞走时跟踪到她们。

因此,宙斯把七姐妹变成了星星,成为昴宿星团,是金牛座的一部分,但即使在夜空中,猎户座仍在追逐昴宿星团。

在后来关于玛亚和她的姐妹们的神话故事中,昴宿星团并不在夜空中,因为她们从天上降到了人间,在厄斯的儿子死后,与荷拉和厄斯一起哀悼。 孟农 特洛伊战争期间。
