宙斯(朱庇特)和他的妻子

阅读 :

  提到赫拉(朱诺),我们大抵都知道她是宙斯的妻子;她原来是克洛诺斯和瑞亚的女儿。她出生于萨摩斯群岛,也有人说是在阿尔戈斯,但她是由珀拉斯戈斯的儿子特米诺斯在阿卡迪亚抚养长大的。季节女神是她的保姆。赫拉的孪生兄弟宙斯在驱逐了父亲克洛诺斯以后到克里特的诺塞斯(一说是阿尔戈利斯的索那克斯山,现称杜鹃山)找到了她,并向她求爱,但最初并未成功。后来宙斯隐身为一只羽毛披乱的杜鹃鸟,赫拉这才可怜他,温柔疼护地把他放在怀里取暖。宙斯立刻现出真形并强奸了她。她在羞惭无奈下便嫁给了他。

  赫拉和宙斯的新婚之夜是在萨摩斯度过的,这一夜就是人间的三百年。赫拉定期在阿尔戈斯附近的卡那萨斯泉沐浴从而重获贞洁。

  宙斯和赫拉总是免不了吵架。赫拉对宙斯沾花惹草的行为十分恼火,常常千方百计地设下圈套羞辱他。宙斯从没有真心实意地信任赫拉。而赫拉也知道,如果她冒犯他过了一定的限度,他会打她的,甚至用霹雳击她的。因此,她采取冷酷的计谋,例如在生赫拉克勒斯的事情上;有时,她借用阿佛洛狄特的腰带来勾起他的情欲,从而削弱他的意态。

  有一次,宙斯的傲气和喜怒无常的脾气实在太叫人难以忍受。于是赫拉、波塞冬、阿波罗和除了赫斯提外所有的奥林波斯神祗乘宙斯躺在床上熟睡之际一拥而上,用生牛皮绳把他捆绑起来并打上一百个绳结,使他动弹不得。他威胁说要把他们立即处死,但他们早把霹雳放在他伸手莫及的地方,因而对他的威胁报以满带嘲弄的大笑。当他们欢庆胜利并且怀着猜疑妒忌之心讨论继承宙斯王位的人选时,海上女神特提斯看到奥林波斯山将爆发一场内战,便急匆匆把百臂巨人布里亚柔斯找来。这位巨人把一百只手都同时用上了,迅速解开绳结给主神以自由。因为是赫拉领导了这场阴谋活动,宙斯便用金手镯铐住她的手腕,把她吊在空中,脚踝上还绑上铁钻。别的神祗气恼万分,但不敢拯救赫拉,尽管她哭喊得十分凄惨。后来宙斯答应释放她,条件是大家要起誓永不再造反。诸神们虽然满心的不情愿,但还是个个作了保证。宙斯罚波塞冬和阿波罗去给拉俄墨冬国王当奴隶,他们为国王建造了特洛伊城。但宙斯宽恕了其余的神祗,因为他们只不过是胁从。
