About Greek mythology

(1) "How many poor, immortal souls have I seen? They were almost killed by the heavy negative pressure of life. They can't breathe. They are crawling on the road of life, pushing the barn 75 feet long and 40 feet wide in front of them, the cowshed that Ghias has never cleaned, and pushing hundreds of acres of land to weed, climb grass, graze and protect forests. -Walden Lake in Thoreau

Ogius Cowpen: In Greek mythology, King Ogius of Eris raised 3,000 cows, and Cowpen didn't wash them for 30 years. Hercule dug two ditches on both sides of the cowshed, so that the Alphonse and Petnius rivers flowed in from here and out from there, and the cowshed was washed clean in one day.

Many British and American writers have Greek myths in their books, which are easy to find, such as Walden Lake, which is almost two pages long.

(2) "I happened to think of an ancient painter's work: his sacrifice in painting Iphigenia should be based on the relationship between the people present at that time and this innocent beauty, showing everyone's sadness." -Montaigne Essays

Iphigenia: A figure in Greek mythology, whose father Agamemnon offended the goddess, so that the fleet on the expedition to Troy could not sail. The great prophet asked him to sacrifice his daughter to the goddess, who pardoned her on the altar.

"The poet describes Naomi, the mother who has lost seven men and seven women in succession, and imagines her turning into a stone"-Montaigne's essay

Neo-Obi: A character in Greek mythology, the queen of Thebes, was retaliated by Apollo for laughing at Apollo's mother and shot all her children. She cried every day and Zeus finally turned her into a stone statue.

Clicquot widow, Moab,

Ice is still hanging on American wine bottles.

Bring it bottle by bottle,

To show hospitality to the poet.

Wine shines with the brilliance of spring water.

How cheerful the bubbles are-yevgeny onegin of Pushkin.

Lingquan: Pagasos Bogasos ran down from Mount Herikon where nine Muses lived. When his hooves set foot on the dry land, the ground immediately gushed out a spring named Hippocrene, that is, the "spiritual spring". Poets can draw inspiration from springs.
