希腊神话中的河神阿谢洛斯

阿谢洛斯河是希腊最长、最重要的河流之一。 阿谢洛斯河发源于拉克莫斯山的高坡,流经 137 英里,最后注入爱奥尼亚海。

河流沿阿卡纳尼亚(Acarnania)和伊托利亚(Aetolia)之间的历史边界流经峡谷和河道,显示出它的力量和强度。 这种力量和强度在古代也是显而易见的,因此,它有自己的强大神灵,即 "神"。 波塔莫伊 (河神)阿切洛斯。

河神阿谢洛斯

作为波塔莫伊人,阿谢洛斯被视为泰坦神之子 海洋 据说特提斯生下了 3000 个波塔莫伊(Potamoi),就像她也是 3000 个大洋洲水仙女的母亲一样。

阿谢洛斯被描绘成几种不同的形态,人们认为它能在各种形态之间瞬间变形,阿谢洛斯可能被视为人鱼、公牛或水蛇。

阿谢洛斯河在古代常被称为第二条尼罗河,与该河有关的神的力量和实力使阿谢洛斯成为所有波塔莫伊人的领袖。

阿谢洛斯和赫拉克勒斯

如今,关于阿谢洛斯最有名的故事是河神与希腊英雄赫拉克勒斯的相遇。 阿谢洛斯和赫拉克勒斯都是宙斯的追求者。 代安尼拉 虽然代亚尼拉更愿意嫁给赫拉克勒斯,但半神和波塔莫伊之间还是需要进行一场力量的较量。

阿谢洛斯和赫拉克勒斯在力量上其实不相上下,为了取得优势,阿谢洛斯每当被赫拉克勒斯抓住时就会变换身体形态。 不过,最终不管阿谢洛斯是蛇、牛还是人,赫拉克勒斯都会将对手按倒在地,取得胜利。

赫拉克勒斯和阿谢洛斯之间的战斗产生了一个二级神话,讲述了赫拉克勒斯和阿谢洛斯之间的战斗。 金玉满堂 因为据说赫拉克勒斯在阿谢洛斯变成公牛时,折断了波塔莫伊的一只角,后来仙女们把这只角变成了万能角。

这场战斗的另一个版本是,阿谢洛斯交换了他手中的丰饶之角,而他的角现在在赫拉克勒斯手中。

不过,如果赫拉克勒斯没有赢得比赛,对他来说可能会更好,因为尽管黛安妮拉成为了赫拉克勒斯的第三任妻子,但她最终还是导致了赫拉克勒斯的死亡,因为她在不知情的情况下向丈夫赠送了一件有毒的长袍。

阿谢洛斯的热情好客

不过,阿谢洛斯也很好客,据说特修斯受到了河神的欢迎,两人分享了食物、饮料和故事。

阿谢洛斯将自己的一个女儿卡里尔霍(Callirhoe)嫁给了埃皮戈尼人,成为埃皮戈尼人的新妻子。

阿谢洛斯的后代

卡丽尔荷只是阿谢洛斯的子女之一,还有几位水仙女被视为他的女儿,其中包括德尔斐预言泉中著名的奈阿德。

更有名的是,阿谢洛斯还被认为是 警报器 塞壬当然是引诱水手们去送死的三位女歌手。
