莫斐斯(Morpheus)这个名字因最近在电影和漫画中的使用而焕发出新的活力。 奥涅罗伊 梦中之神

奥涅罗伊-莫斐斯

在现存的希腊神话文本中可以找到 Oneiroi 的概念,这些小神被认为是以下神灵的后代 尼克斯 (在希腊文本中,Oneiroi 数量众多,可能有 1000 个,而且没有名字。

奥维德与奥涅罗伊

后来,在罗马时期,特别是通过罗马诗人奥维德的作品,"Oneiroi "的概念得到了扩展。

奥维德将出版他最著名的作品 变形记 在这部作品中,奥维德对一些最著名的神话故事进行了重述和再创作。 不过,莫斐斯的故事似乎不仅仅是重述,因为 变形记 这是第一个资料来源,或者至少是现存的第一个资料来源,其中提到了神的名字。

因此,奥维德将莫斐斯命名为人们的梦神。

莫斐斯

奥维德对希腊最初的 "奥涅罗伊 "概念进行了许多改编,其中最重要的是他改变了 "奥涅罗伊 "的父系血统,因此也改变了莫斐斯的父系血统。 梦神不再被认为是尼克斯和埃里伯斯的后代,因为莫斐斯现在被命名为索姆努斯之子,索姆努斯相当于罗马的希腊之神 催眠术 睡眠之神。

奥维德还规定了每个奥涅罗伊人的角色,因此有三个杰出的奥涅罗伊人被命名为 "奥涅罗伊"。

菲比托尔(Phobetor)也叫伊瑟洛斯(Icelos),他是奥涅罗伊人,可以化身为任何动物出现在人们的梦中;范塔索斯(Phantasos)可以模仿动物、水或任何无生命的物体;莫菲斯(Morpheus)则可以化身为任何人类形态,模仿任何人的外貌、声音和特征。 莫菲斯因其角色而被赋予奥涅罗伊人领袖或国王的角色。

莫斐斯与阿尔希奥涅之梦

莫斐斯最著名的作品是出现在奥维德版本的 "宙斯 "故事中。 阿尔西俄涅和塞伊克斯 .

塞克斯在一次海上风暴中丧生,因此赫拉(Juno)决定必须尽快将他去世的消息通知他的妻子阿尔克西奥涅(Alcyone)。 女神伊里斯(Iris)被赫拉派往索姆努斯(Hypnos),并指示当晚就将消息告诉阿尔克西奥涅。

于是,索姆纳斯派出了他的儿子莫斐斯,莫斐斯改变了自己的外貌,与塞克斯的外貌相匹配,进入了阿尔西昂的梦境。

在梦中,阿尔希奥涅试图抓住她的丈夫,但当她去触摸莫斐斯时,她醒了;但莫斐斯已经完成了他的工作,因为阿尔希奥涅现在知道她是一个寡妇。
