💡Medusa

Medusa ist eine Figur aus der griechischen Mythologie, bekannt für ihre versteinernde Blick. Im Video wird sie als eine sehr schöne, aber auch sehr stolze Jungfrau dargestellt, die ihre Schönheit übertreibt und schließlich bestraft wird, indem ihr Haar in Schlangen verwandelt wird. Dies illustriert das Konzept der Überheblichkeit und ihre Folgen.

💡Athen

Athen ist eine Stadt in Griechenland und im Video auch der Name der Hauptstadt, die nach der Göttin Athena benannt ist. Athena ist die Göttin der Weisheit und des Krieges und wird im Video als Schutzpatronin des Dorfes雅典娜 dargestellt, die durch ihre Weisheit und Güte die Stadt Athens zum Ruhm führt.

💡Parthenon

Der Parthenon ist ein berühmter Tempel auf dem Hügel der Akropolis in Athen, der Athena gewidmet ist. Im Video wird er als Ort der Andacht und des Respekts vor der Göttin beschrieben, aber auch als Ort, an dem Medusas Überheblichkeit sichtbar wird, als sie behauptet, sie wäre eine bessere Kulisse für eine Skulptur als Athena selbst.

💡Göttin Athena

Athena ist in der griechischen Mythologie die Göttin der Weisheit, des Krieges und der Handwerkskunst. Im Video wird sie als eine gerechte und mächtige Göttin dargestellt, die Medusa für ihre Überheblichkeit bestraft und später in einem Wettbewerb mit Poseidon als Schutzpatronin des Dorfes Athens auserwählt wird.

💡Überheblichkeit

Überheblichkeit ist eine Eigenschaft, die im Video durch Medusas Verhalten hervorgehoben wird, indem sie ihre Schönheit übertreibt und andere herabwürdigt. Athena nutzt Medusas Überheblichkeit als Lehrmoment und verwandelt sie in eine Warnung vor den Gefahren des Stolzes.

💡Poseidon

Poseidon ist in der griechischen Mythologie der Gott des Meeres und des Donnerrades. Im Video ist er einer der Götter, der das neue Küstenstädtchen beansprucht und später in einem Wettbewerb mit Athena teilnimmt, um zu bestimmen, wer den Schutz des Dorfes übernehmen soll.

💡Gorgon

Die Gorgons sind in der griechischen Mythologie Monströsitäten mit Schlangenhaaren, die das Haupt von Medusa bilden. Im Video werden sie als blinde Monster beschrieben, mit denen Medusa nach ihrer Bestrafung lebt, was ihre Verbannung und Isolation symbolisiert.

💡Weisheit

Weisheit ist ein zentrales Thema im Video, das durch Athena repräsentiert wird. Ihre Weisheit hilft dem Dorf,雅典娜, Athens zu wachsen und gedeihen, und sie entscheidet auch, wie sie Medusa für ihre Überheblichkeit bestraft.

💡Schönheit

Schönheit ist ein wichtiges Thema im Video, das durch Medusas Verherrlichung ihrer eigenen Schönheit und Athenas Kritik an dieser Einseitigkeit dargestellt wird. Schönheit ist flüchtig und sollte nicht das einzige Kriterium für den Wert eines Menschen sein, wie Athena betont.

💡Wetteifer

Wetteifer ist ein Konzept, das durch den Wettbewerb zwischen Athena und Poseidon über den Schutz des Dorfes Athens zum Ausdruck kommt. Es zeigt, wie Götter um Anerkennung und Macht kämpfen, und wie die Entscheidung letztendlich im Interesse der Menschen getroffen wird.

once upon a time a long time ago there  lived a beautiful maiden named Medusa

play00:31

Medusa lived in the city of Athens in a country named Greece

play00:36

and although there were many pretty girls in the city

play00:39

Medusa was considered the most lovely

play00:42

unfortunately, Medusa was very proud of  her beauty and thought or spoke of little else

play00:50

each day she boasted of how pretty she was  and each day her boasts became more outrageous

play00:58

Madusa would gaze lovingly at her reflection in the mirror

play01:02

she admired herself in her hand mirror  for an hour each morning and evening

play01:09

she even stopped to admire herself in the well

play01:12

each afternoon as she drew water for her father's horses

play01:16

often forgetting to fetch the water in her distraction

play01:20

on and on Medusa went about her beauty

play01:23

to anyone and everyone who stopped long enough to hear her

play01:28

until one day when she made her first  visit to the Parthenon with her friends

play01:33

the Parthenon was the largest temple  to the goddess Athena in all the land

play01:39

it was decorated with amazing sculptures and paintings

play01:44

everyone who entered was awed by the beauty of the place and couldn't help but think of how grateful they were to Athena

play01:52

goddess of wisdom for inspiring them and watching over their city of Athens

play01:57

everyone that is except Medusa

play02:01

when Medusa saw the sculptures she whispered that she would have made a much better subject for the sculpture than Athena

play02:09

when Medusa saw the artwork she commented  that the artist had done a fine job

play02:14

but imagine how much more wonderful the painting would be if it was of Medusa

play02:20

when Medusa reached the altar she sighed happily and said

play02:24

my, this is a beautiful temple

play02:27

it is a shame it was wasted on Athena for I am so much prettier than she is

play02:33

perhaps someday people will build an even grander temple to my beauty

play02:38

Medusa's friends grew pale whispers ran through all the people in the temple

play02:44

who quickly began to leave for everyone knew that Athena enjoyed watching over the people of Athens

play02:50

and feared what might happen if the goddess had overheard

play02:55

before long the temple was empty of everyone  except Medusa who was so busy gazing

play03:01

proudly at her reflection in the large bronze doors  that she hadn't noticed the swift departure of everyone else

play03:10

the image was gazing at wavered  and suddenly instead of her own features

play03:15

it was the face of Athena that Medusa saw reflected back at her

play03:20

vain and foolish girl Athena said angrily you  think you are prettier than I am I doubt it to be true

play03:29

but even if it were there is more to life  than beauty alone while others work and play

play03:36

and learn you do little but boast and admire yourself

play03:42

Medusa tried to point out that her beauty was an inspiration to those around her

play03:47

and that she made their lives better by simply looking so lovely

play03:52

but Athena silenced her with a frustrated wave

play03:55

nonsense Athena retorted

play03:58

beauty fades swiftly in all mortals

play04:01

it does not comfort the sick teach  the unskilled or feed the hungry

play04:06

and by my power, your loveliness shall be stripped away completely

play04:11

your fate shall serve as a reminder to others to control their pride

play04:17

and with those words Medusa's  face changed to that of a hideous monster

play04:23

her hair twisted and thickened into horrible snakes  that hissed and fought each other atop her head

play04:31

even you Medusa should you seek your reflection  she'll turn to rock the instant you see your face

play04:41

and with that Athena sent Medusa with her hair of snakes

play04:46

to live with the blind monsters the Gorgon  sisters at the ends of the earth

play04:51

so that no innocence would be accidentally  turned to stone at the sight of her
