I'm Neil Gaiman, author, screenwriter, storyteller.

我是尼爾-蓋曼，作家、編劇、講故事的人。

Today, I'm here to answer your questions from twitter and this is mythology support first one assaf mayor asks what links viking and greek gods and myths.

今天，我在這裡回答你在twitter上提出的問題，這是神話學的支持，第一個問題是assaf mayor問，維京人和希臘人的神和神話有什麼聯繫。

轉承詞

It's a lovely question because there are things that are similar, but what really links them I think is people, the Greeks told their myths to the romans and the romans took over and colonized and then those same romans traveled up and encountered the Germanic tribes and the norse people and traded tales of gods and heroes.

這是一個可愛的問題，因為有些東西是相似的，但真正把它們聯繫起來的，我認為是人們，希臘人把他們的神話告訴了羅馬人，羅馬人接管並殖民，然後這些羅馬人旅行，遇到了日耳曼部落和北歐人，交換了神和英雄的故事。

The norse would talk about Odin, the romans would hear was essentially Mercury, which is one reason why our Wetness Day, which is Odin's Day, right in the middle of the week is Mercredi in France, which is Mercury's Day, it's the same god, Crimson Soul.

北歐人會談論奧丁，羅馬人聽到的基本上是墨丘利，這就是為什麼我們的溼日，也就是奧丁日的原因之一，就在一週的中間，是法國的默克裡迪，也就是墨丘利日，是同一個神，深紅的靈魂。

20 one says if I asked nicely, could I ride a minor tour, like a horse?

20人說，如果我很好地要求，我可以騎著小遊，像馬一樣？

I'm english, I say monitor americans, say Minotaur.

我是英國人，我說監控美國人，說牛頭人。

It's weird to me, could you ride a monitor like a horse?

我覺得很奇怪，你能像騎馬一樣騎顯示器嗎？

Now obviously you could not, you could ride a minor to like a man because you have a man body all the way up to Abel's head.

現在顯然你不能，你可以把一個未成年人騎得像個男人，因為你有一個男人的身體一直到亞伯的頭。

But that would mean riding around on his shoulders unless you could find a minor detour into sort of, you know, pony stuff or you probably have to find a furry minor tour, like not a furry minor to a minor to who was actually a furry would get into a horse costume and get down and you could ride that.

但是，這將意味著騎在他的肩膀上，除非你能找到一個小的迂迴的排序，你知道，小馬的東西，或者你可能必須找到一個毛茸茸的未成年人旅遊，像不是一個毛茸茸的未成年人到一個實際上是一個毛茸茸的未成年人會得到一個馬的服裝和趴下，你可以騎那個。

Seth, prime Urbina and Seth of course is a good Egyptian name asks if Egyptians worshiped cats, then why did Anubis have a dog head?

塞特，主要是烏爾比納，塞特當然是一個好的埃及名字，問：如果埃及人崇拜貓，那為什麼阿努比斯有一個狗頭？

Here is a picture of Anubis to clarify who we are talking about, technically he doesn't have a dog's head.

這裡有一張阿努比斯的照片，以澄清我們談論的是誰，嚴格來說他沒有狗頭。

I like this question, this is, this is one of those questions.

我喜歡這個問題，這就是，這就是其中一個問題。

If Egyptians worshiped cats, then why didn't you have a dog head is kind of like being asked?

如果埃及人崇拜貓，那麼你為什麼沒有一個狗頭就有點像被問到了？

You know, if people descended from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?

你知道，如果人是猴子的後代，為什麼還有猴子？

The answer is because the Egyptians had lots of gods originally, you had the gods of the upper Nile and the gods of the lower delta and one set of gods were human and one set of gods were animals.

答案是，因為埃及人最初有很多神，你有尼羅河上游的神和三角洲下游的神，一套神是人，一套神是動物。

And at the point where Egypt became all one country, the gods sort of incorporated each other and you've got a lot of animal headed humans from ti anna Marie underlying, who says after looking up what biblical angels actually look like, I fully understand why they warn you not to be afraid because wTF is that question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark, you're right.

而在埃及成為所有國家的時候，眾神有點互相融合，你有很多動物頭的人類，從ti anna Marie underlying，她說在查了聖經中的天使到底長什麼樣之後，我完全理解為什麼他們警告你不要害怕，因為wTF是那個問號，問號，問號，問號，問號，問號，問號，你是對的。

聖經》中的天使是什麼樣子的？

They look like wheels, they look like flying saucers, which is kind of weird.

它們看起來像輪子，它們看起來像飛碟，這有點奇怪。

What they don't look like rather disappointingly is Michael Sheen and David Tennant in good omens, I like the idea that they look human like because it would break our brains to see them as they really are.

令人失望的是，他們看起來不像的是邁克爾-辛和大衛-坦南特的好兆頭，我喜歡他們看起來像人類的想法，因為如果看到他們的真實面目，會打破我們的大腦。

Mr Darcy asks why is every God in greek mythology related to or use or both use gets everywhere, uses all over the place, which means that an awful lot of people are his descendants one way or another, the nice thing about God's is nobody ever expected you to emulate them.

達西先生問道，為什麼希臘神話中的每個神都與或使用或兩者都使用得到的地方有關，使用所有的地方，這意味著非常多的人都是他的後裔，關於神的好東西是沒有人期望你效仿他們。

They are always as much a warning as they are aspirational.

它們始終是一種警告，也是一種激勵。

You may want to have Godly powers, but you don't want to behave like that.

你可能想擁有神的力量，但你不想表現得像那樣。

燈光使用反轉編輯問什麼是Ragnarok本質上，Ragnarok本質上是最後一場偉大的戰鬥。

Ragnarok essentially begins with everything going wrong.

Ragnarok本質上是以一切出錯開始的。

The weather goes wrong, the climate goes wrong, Winter does not end, there is famine, there is awfulness, People are miserable.

天氣出了問題，氣候出了問題，冬天沒有結束，有饑荒，有可怕的事情，人們很悲慘。

Brother fights brother sister fight sister cousin fights cousin, There is a gigantic awful civil war amongst the people and then it gets worse.

哥哥打哥哥，姐姐打姐姐，表哥打表哥，人們之間發生了巨大的可怕的內戰，然後情況變得更糟。

You get the frost giants coming out there, led by sir to a fire god and Loki and his Children and it is a monstrous, enormous giant and pretty much final battle that ends in everybody being dead.

你得到了冰霜巨人來到那裡，由先生上司的火神和洛基和他的孩子們，這是一個畸形的、巨大的巨人和相當多的最終戰鬥，以每個人都死了而告終。

I haven't even mention that all of the dead viking warriors get to come back on an enormous ship, built of the fingernails and toenails of the dead because that's just too weird, but they do and is why you should always trim your nails.

我甚至沒有提到，所有死去的維京勇士都會乘坐一艘巨大的船回來，這艘船是由死者的指甲和腳趾甲建造的，因為這太奇怪了，但他們確實這樣做了，這就是為什麼你應該總是修剪你的指甲。

However Ragnarok kind of has a happy ending because after all of the awfulness of Ragnarok and after pretty much everybody has died, the few people who don't die get to sort of look at the ruins of where Asgard was and everything gently starts to grow again and to begin again, molly asks why is all german folklore and mythology absolutely terrifying.

然而Ragnarok有一個快樂的結局，因為在Ragnarok的所有可怕的事情之後，在幾乎所有的人都死了之後，少數沒有死的人可以看到阿斯加德的廢墟，一切都輕輕地開始重新生長，重新開始，莫莉問，為什麼所有的德國民間傳說和神話都是絕對可怕的。

I think it's something to do with the food, frankly, it could be the cold, but it is absolutely true that Germanic folklore is terrifying.

我認為這與食物有關，坦率地說，可能是寒冷，但絕對是真的，日耳曼的民間傳說是可怕的。

It's it's filled with adults eating Children.

It's filled with famine, it's filled with nightmare, it's filled with murder and awful things happening.

它充滿了饑荒，充滿了噩夢，充滿了謀殺和可怕的事情發生。

People like horror stories sometimes because it actually makes them feel better.

Next up, Green Boy for 94 has a question in Norse mythology, what are the most known gods?

接下來，94年的綠色男孩有一個北歐神話中的問題，最有名的神是什麼？

You know, it's good that you're asking me that question because I wrote Norse mythology by Neil Gaiman and as such, I can tell you that Odin is probably the most important frig.

你知道，你問我這個問題很好，因為我寫了尼爾-蓋曼的北歐神話，是以，我可以告訴你，奧丁可能是最重要的frig。

His wife also well known thor very well known, gets movies made Loki in the movies.

他的妻子也是眾所周知的托爾非常有名，得到電影製作的洛基在電影。

Loki is owed ins blood brother, not actually related and one of the giants, but not the big kind, those are probably the most known gods.

洛基是欠ins的血親兄弟，實際上沒有關係，是巨人之一，但不是大的那種，那些可能是最知名的神。

Water dragon asks why is death so adorable in the Sandman, Death is so adorable in the Sandman because I wanted to create the kind of death I would like to meet.

水龍問，為什麼《沙人》中的死亡如此可愛？《沙人》中的死亡如此可愛，因為我想創造我想遇到的那種死亡。

Well my life is over and I thought I would like to death who is practical, a death who is sensible and a death who is above all kind.

我的生命已經結束了，我想我希望有一個實際的死亡，一個明智的死亡，一個高於一切的死亡。

The mythology of Sandman is not world mythology, I should say that the mythology of Sandman is the mythology of a comic that I created, which includes in it seven entities who are not gods who are not worshiped but are essentially more powerful than gods because gods die when they are forgotten that the endless are always there.

睡魔的神話不是世界神話，應該說睡魔的神話是我創作的漫畫的神話，其中包括七個實體，他們不是神，不受崇拜，但本質上比神更強大，因為神在被遺忘時就會死亡，而無盡的人一直在那裡。

And one of those seven, his death voted um 46 says, Isn't Loki already gender fluid in Norse mythology?

而這七個人中的一個，他的死亡投票嗯46說，洛基在北歐神話中不是已經有了性別流動嗎？

Yeah, Loki cheerfully transforms into female form and is very happy doing so, Loki becomes a Mayor at one point to while away a stallion who is just about to finish bringing the stones to build a wall for the gods and if the stallion cannot be stopped, then the gods are going to lose the sun, the moon and the beautiful frayer Loki is told to stop them and Loki in a horse form in mayor form, she lures that stallion away and then turns up about a year later as Loki with an eight legged foal, a little horse which is presented to Odin as Odin is horse, gender fluid as hell.

是的，洛基興高采烈地變身為女性形態，並且非常高興地這樣做，洛基有一次變成了市長，以便把一匹剛要完成帶石頭為眾神建牆的種馬引開，如果不能阻止這匹種馬，那麼眾神就會失去太陽。如果不能阻止公馬，那麼眾神就會失去太陽、月亮和美麗的祈禱者洛基被告知要阻止他們，洛基以市長的身份以馬的形式把公馬引開，然後在大約一年後以洛基的身份出現，帶著一匹八條腿的小馬，這匹小馬被送給了奧丁，因為奧丁是馬，性別不限。

Zeus leads a war against the titans who basically are Zeus, his parents, the gods win.

宙斯上司了一場與泰坦巨人的戰爭，泰坦巨人基本上是宙斯的父母，眾神獲勝。

They have various people on their side, including a couple of titans and their names are Prometheus and Prometheus and Prometheus is given a gift by the gods and the gift he has given is Pandora and everything's great.

他們有各種人站在他們這邊，包括幾個泰坦，他們的名字是普羅米修斯和普羅米修斯，普羅米修斯被眾神賜予了一份禮物，他所賜予的禮物是潘多拉，一切都很好。

Until one day she out of curiosity or for whatever reason, smashes a jar that she has in which all of the things that are bad, all of the things that make life hard.

直到有一天，她出於好奇或某種原因，打碎了一個罐子，裡面裝著所有不好的東西，所有使生活困難的東西。

The way that the story is sometimes told that remains after all of the evils in the world have flown out into the world is hope.

有時，在世界所有的邪惡都飛向世界之後，留下的故事的方式是希望。

I've never been quite sure how to interpret that, because you can think of hope as remaining as being this wonderful, pure happy thing or you can think of it as the final cruelty of the guards as they've lost.

我一直不大確定如何解釋這句話，因為你可以認為希望是剩餘的，是這種美妙的、純粹的快樂的東西，或者你可以認為它是守衛的最後的殘酷，因為他們已經失去了。

They've loosed all of these terrible things upon us.

他們把所有這些可怕的東西放在我們身上。

And then just to make it a little worse, they've given us all hope, Cat X asks why did Icarus have to fly so close to the sun bro?

然後只是讓它變得更糟，他們給了我們所有的希望，貓X問為什麼伊卡洛斯要飛得離太陽這麼近兄弟？

Actually, his dad, Daedalus explained to him that you don't fly close to the sun, They were escaping together using wings that Daedalus had made and the wings were held together with wax, those of us who think that if you go up it's gonna get cold.

實際上，他的爸爸戴德魯斯向他解釋說，你不要靠近太陽飛，他們是用戴德魯斯做的翅膀一起逃跑的，翅膀是用蠟固定的，我們這些人認為如果你往上飛就會變冷。

It would have been proved wrong in ancient greek mythology because they knew that if you flew upwards you would get too close to the sun and it would melt the wax and if you went too far down over the waves your wings would get wet.

這在古希臘神話中會被證明是錯誤的，因為他們知道，如果你向上飛，你會離太陽太近，它會融化蠟，如果你在海浪上空飛得太遠，你的翅膀會被弄溼。

And what actually happened was the wings melted and Icarus, who aspired to go high was drowned.

而實際發生的情況是翅膀融化了，渴望登高的伊卡洛斯被淹死了。

塞拉-盧奇問為什麼托爾少了一隻眼睛，笑，托爾沒有少一隻眼睛。

You're thinking of Odin being thaws Dad only has one eye.

Odin is indeed missing an eye because he traded an eye for wisdom.

奧丁確實少了一隻眼睛，因為他用一隻眼睛換取了智慧。

Taro masks are says something that's interesting to me is how so many different cultures have great flood myths.

芋頭面具說，對我來說，有趣的事情是，這麼多不同的文化都有偉大的洪水神話。

Probably because over the years there have been an awful lot of floods and also because the great flood story does tend to get retold.

可能是因為多年來發生了非常多的洪水，也因為大洪水的故事確實容易被重述。

I think one of the earliest versions we have of it is the Babylonian, the Assyrian version that definitely predates Noah, during the hundreds of thousands of years of human history, there were many times when there were floods, huge floods and lots and lots of people died And somebody didn't and there's somebody who didn't got to live and tell the story.

我認為我們有的最早的版本之一是巴比倫版本，亞述版本，絕對早於諾亞，在幾十萬年的人類歷史中，有許多次發生洪水，巨大的洪水，很多很多人死亡，而有人沒有，有人沒有活下來，沒有講述這個故事。

Next question is from Celio, the shaper, Oh you're a Greek mythology, fan name the 12 labors of Hercules and then there is a clown face.

下一個問題來自Celio，塑造者，哦，你是希臘神話的粉絲，說出海格力斯的12項勞動，然後有一張小丑臉。

The 12 labors of Hercules killed the Nemean lion.

海格力斯的12項勞動殺死了尼米亞獅。

It is important to remember that the Nemean lion is not the lions that provided the lion's skin that Hercules famously wore.

重要的是要記住，尼米亞獅不是提供海格力斯著名的獅皮的獅子。

Kill the hydra linear hydra every time you cut off its head it grows two heads where the one that you cut off was Hercules actually got a buddy to come in and quart arise the heads as he cut them off, capture the cerulean hind.

殺死九頭蛇的線性九頭蛇，每次你砍掉它的頭，它就會長出兩個頭，而你砍掉的那個是赫拉克勒斯，實際上是讓一個夥伴進來，在他砍掉這些頭的時候，誇張地出現了這些頭，抓住了塞魯利亞的後裔。

That was a deer is behind the arrow, Manthey inboard.

那是一隻鹿在箭的後面，曼特希的內側。

You're starting to see an animal pattern here and then you get a horsey one which isn't capture horses, it's clean the stables and this is the Aegean stables, the filthier stables in the world and he did that rather brilliantly, I have to say by diverting a river.

你在這裡開始看到一個動物圖案，然後你得到一個馬的圖案，這不是捕捉馬匹，而是清潔馬廄，這是愛琴海馬廄，世界上最骯髒的馬廄，他做得相當出色，我不得不說通過改變一條河流的方向。

Then you've got the stim for alien birds, these birds that would fly down and shipped all over things and were awful and murderous, killed them all.

然後你得到了對外星鳥類的刺激，這些鳥會飛下來，運到所有的東西上，很可怕，很凶殘，把它們都殺了。

The Cretan bull got them, then we do get horses again and this time it is actually capturing them.

克里特島的公牛得到了他們，然後我們確實又得到了馬，這一次實際上是在抓捕他們。

But these are Diomedes horses and they were man eaters.

但這些是狄俄墨得斯的馬，它們是吃人的。

You then have him politics belt and or girdle and that one does not end well, he's done fairly well dealing with animals, but Hippolyta is a lady and in order to obtain her girdle.

然後你讓他政治腰帶和或腰帶，這個結局並不好，他在處理動物方面做得相當好，但希波呂忒是一位女士，為了獲得她的腰帶。

Hercules has to head off into the land of the amazons, they have a relationship, it does not end well, definitely doesn't end well for Hippolyta who if memory serves kills herself for love of Hercules, which is really rather sad and he gets the belt, you've got the cattle of Gary in and that's the original 10 labors of Hercules and then he gets assigned another two because he got help on two of them.

海格力斯不得不前往亞馬遜人的地盤，他們有一段關係，結局並不好，對希波呂忒來說絕對不是好事，如果沒記錯的話，她為了愛海格力斯而自殺了，這真的相當可悲，他得到了腰帶，你已經得到了加里的牛，這就是海格力斯最初的10項勞動，然後他又被分配了兩項，因為他在其中兩項上得到幫助。

He has to do the golden apples of the disparities and finally go to hell and bring back cerberus Cabarrus, the three headed dog of the underworld, t halts a man or faults.

他必須做金蘋果的差異，最後去地獄，帶回cerberus Cabarrus，冥界的三頭犬，t停止一個人或缺點。

A man asks greek mythology question if two demigods bone and they have a kid, Is that kid also a demigod?

一個人問希臘神話中的問題，如果兩個半神在一起，他們有一個孩子，那個孩子也是半神嗎？

Obviously if their kids have sex they will be semi Demi demigods and beyond that you get into crochets and quavers and things.

顯然，如果他們的孩子有性行為，他們就會成為半迪米族的半神，除此之外，你就會進入鉤子和夸父之類的東西。
