Le Loi

Long time ago, that was the time the country was reigned by Minh a country in north of the country. The enemies treated them very bad. Therefore, many revolutions happened but they had never gotten success. Laking of food and supporters were the reasons of their failure. But they grouped again at one because their leader was Le Loi, a person without discouragement.
One time, when Le Loi led insurgents fought against the enemies and got failure, they separated. Enemies rounded Le Loi but he escaped and ran away. The enemies chased after him to come to a small village. His case, now, was very dangerous. He ran cross plants and saw a man with his wife catching fish on a pond. He approached the man and asked:
“Please, let me catch fish here, the enemies were finding me”.
Then man took off his shirt and threw it to him. He hinted him to go down and pretended as he was catching fish with them. The enemies came to after that short time. They stopped by the pond, observed and asked the man:
“Hey man, Do you see a man run cross here?”
The man shook his head.
“I have never seen any body going pass here since I started catching here”, said the man.
When the enemies was busying in search plants, Le Loi up his head, observed them. Suddenly, the man shouted:
“Boy, do your work and don’t notice to others or you will not have your serving at lunch”.
Le Loi understood, he bent down and continued. Enemies thought Le Loi was the man’s family so they didn’t notice him and didn’t ask any more. Few minutes later, they went.
That afternoon, the man brought Le Loi to his house. That night, some his fellows also found the way to come to the house and regrouped with him. The man and his wife wanted to treat them meals, but they were poor. They had a monkey. But if they sold the mokey now, enemies would know. At last, the couple decided slaughtered the monkey to treat them. Food was served to the others. Le Loi had the serving and got more a plate of fried fish which were catching at the day. Early morning, they parted. Le Loi held the man’s hand and said:
“We will never forget you help. If we have chances we will repay”.
Another time, they failed. Insurgents couldn’t stand against the enemies. They separated one more time. Le Loi ran alone and went to a forest. Three enemies chased after him. When he came to a crossroads, he saw a dead woman who was raped and killed by enemies. Le Loi stopped and muttered:
“Please, help me. I promise I will revenge for you”.
The he ran but now he was in emergency. At last, he decided to hide himself in a bush. The enemies chased to they didn’t know where he was. But, they had their dog and made them to find him. Dog barked at the bush where he was. Immediately, they used a spear and stabbed. They stabbed him in his thigh but Le Loi had to forced himself not to make a noise. And when the spear was taken out he had to use his clothes to clean blood on the spear.
Though, the dog still stood there and barked. They planned to throw the spear one more time. Fortunately, a fox jumped out form the bush and ran. The dog chased after the fox at one. The enemies ran after the dog. They beat the dog and scolded it. Then they went away. Due to that, Le Loi survived.
Then hard days passed. Insurgents, at last, had the first victory then they had other victories. They   repelled the enemies out of the area.
Then Le Loi ascended the throne at Thang Long. He had never forgotten people who had helped him. He asked powerful mandarin to bring treasures to the man’s house and gifted them but they both died. So, the mandarins used the treasures to build a temple on their house. Every year, mandarins and generals had to come there and held a ceremony at begin of the year. The feast was simple, a plate of rice, a plate of monkey meat and a plate of fried fish that was same as what they had treated him.
About the dead woman, Le Loi also asked people to build a temple to worship her. He thought that the woman’s soul had changed into the fox and helped him. He didn’t know her name, so he called her “Hộ quốc phu nhân” (the woman, who has helped this country).
The end.🎭🎭🎭

Gorgon

In Greek mythology, a Gorgon  is a mythical creature portrayed in ancient Greek literature. While descriptions of Gorgons vary across Greek literature and occur in the earliest examples of Greek literature, the term commonly refers to any of three sisters who had hair made of living, venomous snakes, as well as a horrifying visage that turned those who beheld her to stone. Traditionally, while two of the Gorgons were immortal, Stheno and Euryale, their sister Medusa was not and she was slain by the demigod and hero Perseus. The large Gorgon eyes, as well as Athena 's "flashing" eyes, are symbols termed "the divine eyes" by Gimbutas (who did not originate the perception); they appear also in Athena's sacred bird, the owl. They may be represented by spirals, wheels, concentric circles, swastikas, firewheels, and other images. Anyone who would gaze into their eyes would be turned to stone instantly.

Scylla And Nisus

MINOS was the first king to control the Mediterranean Sea, which he cleared of pirates, and in Crete ruled over ninety cities. When the Athenians had murdered his son Androgeus, he decided to take vengeance on them, and sailed around the Aegean collecting ships and armed levies. Some islanders agreed to help him, some refused. Siphnos yielded to him by the Princess Arne, whom he bribed with gold; the gods changed her into a jackdaw which loves gold and all things that glitter. He made an alliance with the people of Anaphe, but rebuffed by King Aeacus of Aegina and departed, swearing revenge. Aeacus then answered an appeal from Cephalus to join the Athenians against Minos . b. Meanwhile, Minos was partying the Isthmus of Corinth. He laid siege to Nisa, ruled by Nisus the Egyptian, who had a daughter name Scylla. A tower stood in the city, built by Apollo [and Poseidon ?], an at its foot lay a musical stone which, if pebbles were dropped upon from above, rang like a lyre-because Ap...

Sisyphus

SISYPHUS, son of Aeolus, married Atlas ’s daughter Merope, the Pleiad, who bore him Glaucus , Ornytion , and Sinon, and owned a fine herd of cattle on the Isthmus of Corinth. b. Near him lived Autolycus , son of Chione , whose twin-brother Philammon was begotten by Apollo , though Autolycus himself claimed Hermes as his father. c. Now, Autolycus was a past master in theft, Hermes having given him the power of metamorphosing whatever beasts he stole, from horned to unhorned, or from black to white, and contrariwise. Thus although Sisyphus noticed that his own herds grew steadily smaller while those of Autolycus increased, he was unable at first to accuse him of theft; and therefore, one day, engraved the inside of all his cattle’s hooves with the monogram SS or, some say, with the words ‘Stolen by Autolycus’. That night Autolycus helped himself as usually and at dawn hoof-prints along the road provided Sisyphus with sufficient evidence to summon neighbours in witness of the th...
