Mythology is an amazing thing-within it there are endless amounts of stories and myths, and many have seeped into our common perception of culture. The best stories, however, are the treasures, the devices and gifts that men spend their lives searching for in the name of glory, honor, and adventure. Unfortunately, some of them end up dying at the hands of killer rabbits and black beasts (I'm looking at you King Arthur). So, in the name of all things glorious and rabbit-like, let’s tell the stories of 10 mythological treasures.
神话——包含数不清的故事和传说,本身就是一个传奇。在潜移默化中,许多神话已经成为我们文化共识的一部分。然而,最好的故事总是和宝藏相关的。人们以声望、荣誉和冒险为名,穷尽终生,只为一探这些来自上天的宝具和礼物。其中一部分人最终死在了杀人兔子和黑色猛兽的手下(亚瑟王躺枪,这个典故来自著名的恶搞电影《巨蟒与圣杯》,亚瑟王与圆桌骑士在城堡中大战杀人兔子和黑色猛兽)。因此,以所有关乎荣誉和像兔子一样萌萌哒的事物为名,让我们说一说神话中出现的十大珍宝。

10、The Mead Of Poetry
诗人的蜂蜜酒
Norse Mythology
挪威神话

We all like a fine drink every now and then, but when you're a god, you can't just have any mortal liquor. The Norse pantheon has a very strange drink indeed—the Mead of Poetry. The story behind the mead goes that there was once a man named Kvasir, a human forged from divine spit who was the smartest man in the known world. One day, Kvasir was killed by two dwarves who, in their jealousy, made from his blood a fine mead that granted anyone who drank it Kvasir's intelligence
我们常常想要来一杯美酒,但是如果你是个神,你就不能喝那些凡人的酒了。挪威诸神有一种非常奇怪的酒——诗人的蜂蜜酒。在这个蜂蜜酒背后的故事是:曾经有一个叫Kvasir的智者,他由众神的唾沫所生,注定成为已知世界中最聪明的人。终于有一天,他被两个矮人所杀。出于嫉妒,这两个矮人将他的血转化成一种美妙的蜂蜜酒,喝下它的人将被给予Kvasir的智慧。

Eventually, the mead came into the ownership of the giant Suttung, who was tricked out of the mead by the king of the gods, Odin. Odin, on his journey back to Asgard, lost some of the mead (by regurgitation) from Asgard and it fell to Midgard, our world. Anyone who was touched by the mead became the terrible poets and scholars, while the greatest were the ones doused with the mead by Odin personally.
最终,这种蜂蜜酒归于火焰巨人Suttung之手,但是火焰巨人被众神之王奥丁所骗,蜂蜜酒被奥丁夺走(喝到了肚子里)。奥丁在返回神域途中,因为反刍吐出了一些酒,这些酒落到了人类之国,也就是我们的世界当中。所有被这些蜂蜜酒淋到的人类都变成了糟糕的诗人和学者,而真正伟大的诗人都是被奥丁亲自用蜂蜜酒洗涤过的人。
