days of the weekPPT课件

Thursday is the fifth day of the week. Thor, the god of strength and thunder, son of Odin, is the counterpart of Jupiter or Jove. Thor is one of the twelve great gods of northern mythology. He is the only god who cannot cross from earth to heaven upon the rainbow, for he is so heavy and powerful that the gods fear it will break under his weight. It was said that whenever Thor threw his hammer, the noise of thunder is heard through the heavens. Thursday was sacred to Thor.
Moon Goddess
源自Tiw’s day. Tiw 为北欧神话中的战神, 又叫Tyr. 传说 中有一支狼精经常出沒扰乱世界, 众神先用铁链缚住, 但狼精轻 轻一跃就逃脱了. 最后, 狼精因众神使用更精致的锁链才答应受 Ares 缚, 但提出一个条件,必须要有一个神把手伸进他的口中, 来保 证他的安全, 众神互相对 视谁都不敢吭声. 因为大家害怕狼精 的两排锐利无比的牙齿. 众神在无计可施下, Tyr 自告奋勇把手 伸进狼精口中, 狼精就这样被驯服了, 然而 Tyr 的一只手也被咬 断了.
源自 Woden’s day. Woden 是北欧诸神之父, 也是上文所提为 驯服狼精而牺牲自己一只手的 Tyr 就是他的儿子. Woden 领导 神族,跟巨人族作战, 他曾把敌军首领 Ymir 杀死,然后用他的肌 肉造地, 鲜血造海, 骨骼造山. 毛发造树, 不惜牺牲自己的右眼换 取“智慧” 的甘泉, 也深入敌军偷取美酒. 西方人为了追念这个 万神之神, 就以他的名创造了 Wednesday 这个 字.

源自moon day (属于月亮的日子). 西方人把这一天献给 月之女神,因为他们相信月的盈亏会影响农作物的生长, 也会影响医疗效果. 现在有所谓的Blue Monday (忧郁的星期一) 现代人过了周休二日后衍生 “假日症侯群”, 星期一是一周工作的开始,觉得压力大, 又痛苦又疲倦.

Hermes
Wednesday, the fourth day of the week, corresponds to the Roman Dies Mercurii. The name derives from the Scandinavian Woden (Odin), chief god of Norse mythology, who was often called the All Father
Tuesday is the third day of the week. In the Roman calendar the corresponding day was the day of Mars, associated with Ares. Tiw's day is derived from Tyr, the god of honorable war, the wrestler and the son of Woden. His emblem is the sword, and in olden days the people paid him great homage. Tuesday was named in his honor.
