希腊神话中的海神弗西斯

福尔西斯是希腊神话中的古海神,是生活和控制在古希腊危险的开放水域中的众多强大神灵之一。

法尔西斯-盖亚之子

人们认为福尔西斯是希腊神话中两个初生神(Protogenoi)的儿子,他们的父母是 庞图斯 (因此,福尔西斯与其他海神欧律比亚(掌管海洋)、尼琉斯(海洋智慧)和陶马斯(海洋奇迹)是兄弟。

在现存的关于福尔西斯的描述和描绘中,海神是一个灰发人鱼,有着常见的鱼尾巴。 此外,福尔西斯还有很多螃蟹的特征,螃蟹的爪子是前肢的补充,海神的皮肤也像螃蟹。 奇怪的是,福尔西斯通常还被描绘成一只手拿着燃烧的火炬。

福尔西斯的家在海洋最深处的一个洞穴里,他和妻子塞托住在那里。 盖娅 .

隐藏危险之神 Phorcys

在荷马史诗的传统中,福尔西斯通常被视为统治海洋的老人,有时甚至被称作 "海老人"。 不过,福尔西斯只是众多海神之一,其中包括波塞冬、特里顿和......。 尼厄鲁斯 事实上,尼厄鲁斯被称为 "海上老人 "更为常见。

因此,与其说福尔西斯是海洋的统治者,不如说他是希腊神话中隐藏在海洋中的危险之神,是居住在海洋中的海怪的首领。

为此,福尔西斯的孩子们被化身为暗礁等事物,而他妻子塞托的名字则意为 "海怪"。

福尔西斯之子

菲尔西斯在希腊神话中的名气来自于他作为父亲的角色,因为他的孩子们统称为 "菲尔西斯",比海神更有名。

高尔基人 福尔西斯是三个戈尔贡人的父亲,他们分别是尤拉尔耶、斯特诺和大名鼎鼎的美杜莎。 戈尔贡人是暗礁和水下岩石的化身,会让不明真相的水手自吹自擂。 福尔西斯的两个女儿尤拉尔耶和斯特诺是不死之身,而美杜莎当然是凡人,正是她被珀尔修斯追杀。

格拉埃 福尔西斯还是另一对三姐妹的父亲,她们是 Graeae 这三位姐妹分别是 Deino、Enyo 和 Pemphredo,她们三人只有一只眼睛和一颗牙齿。 珀尔修斯在寻找高尔基人的秘密地点时,也遇到了这对珀尔修斯的女儿。

针鼹 - 菲尔西斯的另一个女儿是埃奇德娜(Echidna),她是一条可怕的龙蛇,后来成为希腊神话中最著名的怪物之母,包括奇美拉(Chimera)和地狱犬(Cerberus)。

拉顿 - 弗西斯和塞托又生下了一条蛇龙,名为拉顿(Ladon),又称 "龙之龙"。 赫斯珀里德斯 拉顿是赫拉花园和园中金苹果的守卫。

Phorcys 的其他后代

人们普遍认为这些都是福尔西斯的孩子,但在一些古代文献中还提到了另外两个孩子。

Thoosa - 荷马还说,腓西斯是仙女索萨(Thoosa)的父亲,索萨是波塞冬(Poseidon)的母亲。 波吕斐摩斯 他就是大名鼎鼎的独眼巨人。

Scylla - 通常,Scylla 被认为是 Crataeis 的女儿,但 Crataeis 是仙女,还是 Hecate 女神的别名或 Ceto 的别名,并不清楚。

在赫拉克勒斯杀死希拉的故事中,据说弗尔西斯用燃烧的火炬让他的女儿起死回生。
