离开大地就失去力量的古希腊神话人物是谁及相关故事

Answer 1

　　在赫拉克里斯(海格立斯)的故事中,是Antaeus,母亲是大地之母,所以只要不离地就有力量.
　　安泰是海神波塞冬和大地母神盖亚之子。他从来也不会感到疲劳，他的身体一接触到大地就能吸取大地的力量。 他最喜欢吃的食物是幼狮，并以杀人为乐。在他盘踞的地盘上，人畜都不能幸免于难。每当外乡人从海上或陆地来到利比亚，他就强迫外乡人和他决斗，并将人置于死地，然后将死人的头骨用来装饰他在海滨为其父建造的神庙。
　　大英雄赫拉克勒斯来到了安泰的地盘。众神交给他一个任务，即消灭海边和各条道路上伤害人畜的一切怪物。当赫拉克勒斯和安泰较量时，双方都为对手的 力量所惊讶。尽管赫拉克勒斯不断的将安泰击倒在地，但每次大地母神盖亚都会使安泰重新恢复力量。最后，赫拉克勒斯发现了安泰不断得到力量的秘密，他抓住这 可怕的巨人，让他双脚离地，紧紧的把他勒在怀里，最后终于把他勒死了。

　　Hercules is the Roman name for the mythical Greek hero Heracles, son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmena. He was made to perform twelve great tasks (The Twelve Labours of Hercules) to cleanse himself after he went temporarily insane, killing his wife and children.

　　In Roman/Greek mythology, Heracles or Herakles ("glory of Hera", or Alcides, original name) "Ἥρα + κλέος, Ἡρακλῆς)" was a divine hero, the son of Zeus and Alcmene, stepson of Amphitryon[1] and great-grandson (and half-brother) of Perseus. He was the greatest of the Greek heroes, a paragon of masculinity, the ancestor of royal clans who claimed to be Heracleidae and a champion of the Olympian order against chthonic monsters. In Rome and the modern West, he is known as Hercules, with whom the later Roman Emperors, in particular Commodus and Maximinus, often identified themselves. The Greeks adopted the Roman version of his life and works essentially unchanged, but added anecdotal detail of their own, some of it linking the hero with the geography of the Central Mediterranean. Details of his cult were adapted to Rome as well.

　　Extraordinary strength, courage, ingenuity, and sexual prowess with both males and females were among his characteristic attributes. Although he was not as clever as the likes of Odysseus or Nestor, Heracles used his wits on several occasions when his strength did not suffice, such as when laboring for King Augeias, wrestling the giant Antaeus, or tricking Atlas into taking the sky back onto his shoulders. Together with Hermes he was the patron and protector of gymnasia and palaestrae.[2] His iconographic attributes are the lion skin and the club. These qualities did not prevent him from being regarded as a playful figure who used games to relax from his labors and played a great deal with children.[3] By conquering dangerous archaic forces he is said to have "made the world safe for mankind" and to be its benefactor.[4]

　　Antaeus in Greek and Berber mythology was a giant of Libya, the son of Poseidon and Gaia, and his wife was Tinjis. He was extremely strong as long as he remained in contact with the ground (his mother earth), but once lifted into the air he became as weak as water. He would challenge all passers-by to wrestling matches, kill them, and collect their skulls, so that he might one day build out of them a temple to his father Poseidon. Heracles, finding that he could not beat Antaeus by throwing him to the ground, as he would regain his strength and be fortified, discovered the secret of his power (touching the ground) and held Antaeus aloft until he died (Apollodorus ii. 5; Hyginus, Fab. 31). The myth of Antaeus has been used as a symbol of the spiritual strength which accrues when one rests one's faith on the immediate fact of things. The struggle between Antaeus and Heracles is a favorite subject in ancient sculpture.

Answer 2

1．Antaeus 安泰；巨人；大力士
安泰（Antaeus）是海神波塞冬（Poseidon）和地神该亚（Gaea）的儿子，因母亲是地神，安泰只要身体不离开大地母亲的怀抱就可以源源不断地从大地那里吸收力量，就是不可战胜的。安泰住在北非的山洞里，喜欢吃狮子肉，歇息时躺在地上吸取力量。安泰自恃力大无穷，常欺凌弱小，他常常强迫路人与其格斗，当然没有人能打败他，安泰就把路人打死，砍下他们的头颅去装饰父亲神殿的屋顶。但多行不义必自毙，不久，安泰就遇到了自己的克星。希腊英雄大力神赫拉克勒斯（Heracles）远征西北非寻觅金苹果（golden apple）途径安泰所在之地，安泰拦住与之较量，几个回合下来，不分胜负，后来赫拉克勒斯发现了安泰的秘密，就把他高举在空中，使安泰与大地脱离，安泰得不到力量，被赫拉克勒斯扼死。
