Gods and goddesses

http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/Homework/egypt/gods.htm

Today, I find some websites about Egyprian god and goddess. First, I'll tell you Ra. He is the god of the son, and he also a important god. He always shows his appearance like a falcon. The end of each day, Ra will thought to die. He sails to tweleve doors, which represent tweleve hours. Next morning, he will born again.

Second, I'll tell you about Isis stories. She is the most popular of the Egyptian pantheon, and she has some great magic power. Her husband is Osiris, and her son is named Horus. Osiris died by his enemy, but Isis takes the pieces of body. She mixes it, and Osiris live again. They make their son Horus.

Last god I'll tell is Osiris, He is a king of Egypt. One brother Seth very jealous him, so he murdered him. However, Osiris come alive agian.

I think those short stories is about we need to respect God and goddess. If you don't, you will get the big trouble. Also, god and goddess is honorable. We can't encroach them!

The Hero in the Mythology

He is Perseus, the favorite hero I ever seen. Look! he takes out the monster's head!

I found this website with three heros. First,I will tell you Jason. He is the man who search golden fleece. Pelias is his uncle also an evil man, and he stole the kingdom it should be Jason. Pelias says he will reture it if Jason find the "Golden fleece". He fell in such a big danger, but finally he found it. He saves the kingdom!

Second, I will tell you about Perseus. He is the son of Zeus. He slaied Gorgon Medusa, because Medusa wants to use some magic hurts a man. He also saves the princess Andromeda from a sea monster, because he used Medusa's head to made the monster became a stone.

Last story I'll tell you is Theseus adventures. He is known of his triumph of monsters, the most famous one is "Minotaur". He lived in an island, people need sent forteen young people to him every year. Theseus knew it, and used a ball of magic to attack the monster. Finally, he killed the monster. Later, he became a famous warrior.

I think this three stories of heros all tell people need to have three important thing. Wisdom, courage and willpower can solve any problem. Like Perseus use this three things to attack monster. Also, ancient world is dangeous. People create some hero to be their gods, because they fear of the dangeous world!

Mythology

I find this great website of chinese myths. I will tell you some stories. At first, the universe was like a egg. Then, Pan Gu born. When he stretch his body, the earth becomes more thicker. Finally, the sky separated from the earth. After Pan Gu died, his body became mountains and fields, sun, moon and stars, gold, jade, pearls and rocks, rain and dews.

I think this myth mean the beginning of the universe, ancient people didn't know the space. They use their mind to create some stories to make people believe.

The other myth story is "Yi Shoots Down Nine Suns". Yi was a god in the heaven, the emperor of the god sent Yi down to the earth. He need to help people, and he saw ten suns on the sky. He use bow shoot nine suns down, he saved people!

I think this story mean why the sky have one sun, this story have related of their environment. The ancient world is dangeous, so they describe the sun is evil. And they created some hero to help them, it is the cause what they need to create him.

There have the last story I will tell you, is "Chang'e Flies to the Moon". One time, Yi visited to the west of queen. He took some elixir, but Chang'e stole it and flew to the moon. However, she is sad and lone.

I think this story tells about what happen when you have greed. The people use this story to remind our don't greedily, because it may make you fall in a big trouble. Like Chang'e, she stole it. And made her lone, one person in the moon.
