篇一：The Flood 洪水
Towards the end of the Age of Bronze the human world became very cruel.
Men grew hungry, impolite and ungodly(邪恶的) . Neither right nor law was respected any longer, and the rule of hospitality was forgotten. Dressed up in human form, Zeus visited Arcadia and Thessaly, and disliked the deadly wrongs of men. He decided to clear the earth of them all. Without hesitation he released the rainy south wind and called upon the heartless Poseidon to help. Soon the whole world sank in a vast ocean, and the entire humanrace disappeared in the unheard of(前所未闻的) flood, all but two poor Thessalians.
These were an old childless couple, kind and faithful and contented with life. The man was called Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha. Son of Prometheus, Deucalion had been warned beforehand by his father of the coming flood.
He made himself a huge chest. When the roaring flood came the couple hid themselves in it and floated for nine days until it touched land again on Mt Parnassus.
The once active world presented a frightening sight. It was all death and ruin. Feeling lonely and unsafe, the old couple prayed to the gods for help. A sage(圣人) instructed them to cast the bones of their mother about. The son of the wise Titan, having guessed the true meaning of the mysterious command, started throwing stones behind him.
A miracle occurred. The stones that the man cast became men, the stones that the woman threwturned into women. Since then, people appeared on the land again. The Heroic Age had begun.
到了青铜期末代，人类世界变得非常残忍，人类也变得贪婪、粗鲁且不虔诚。公理与法律不再受到尊重。殷勤好客的风俗被遗忘。宙斯装扮成凡人的样子查阿卡迪亚和色萨利两地。他不喜欢凡人极度的罪恶，决心将他们从地球上铲除。他毫不犹豫地释放了夹雨的南风，并召来冷酷无情的波塞冬协助他。很快整个人类世界被淹没在一片汪洋之中。除了两名恭顺的色萨利人幸免于难外，人类被史无前例的洪水吞噬。英语学习群
