朱庇特钟情于塞墨勒

阅读 :

  朱庇特不仅跟神祗有私情,和凡人也常常关系暧昧。他倾心爱慕过一些凡人的才貌出众的女儿,这理所当然地引起夫人的妒忌,两人经常为此争吵。前文已经谈到他与伊俄和欧罗巴的恋爱经过。这里讲一段关于朱庇特钟情于塞墨勒的故事。

  塞墨勒是底比斯的缔造者卡德摩斯的女儿。不论是从父系或是从母系来说她都是神的后裔;她的母亲哈耳摩尼亚是马尔斯和性格开朗的维纳斯的女儿。朱庇特现身于塞墨勒面前以至他向她求爱时,都是打扮朴素,举止谨敛的。朱诺对夺走丈夫的恩爱的新情敌恨之入骨,想出一个计谋,打算置塞墨勒于死地。朱诺变形成塞墨勒的老奶奶波罗厄,暗示间挑引起塞墨勒对情郎的身分产生怀疑。她长叹一声道:“我真希望他就是朱庇特,可是我心里总有些嘀咕。人总不能说没有乔装冒认的。他要真是朱庇特的话,就该拿出点证据来。叫他来的时候穿上天宫里的全套华美礼服。这就能使我们确信不疑了。”塞墨勒被说得动了心,决心要作这样的一个试探。她要求朱庇特答应为她做件事,但并不把这件事说明。朱庇特应允了,还发誓绝不食言,且指定冥河斯提克斯――-众神听了都要发抖的名字――-做他的监誓人。于是,塞墨勒说明她的要求的具体内容。主神恨不得马上堵住她的嘴,但没有来得及,她已经说完了。现在话已出口,朱庇特既不能算她没提要求,又不能收回自己的誓言。他在深感懊恼下回到上界。在天宫里他穿上璀璨的衣装,这所穿的还不是他战垮巨人时的那副英气逼人的全套披挂,而是众神认作为他的轻型铠甲那一款。他一阵闪电雷鸣冲进了塞墨勒的闺房。她那世人的肉身禁不住炽烈的神光,顿时焚成一堆灰烬。她留下一个儿子,就是巴克斯神。

  鸣冲进了塞墨勒的闺房。她那世人的肉身禁不住炽烈的神光,顿时焚成一堆灰烬。她留下一个儿子,就是巴克斯神。
