主題: 天后的時尚
Iliad 14.153-186
荷馬史詩中的天后Hera，為了讓希臘人戰勝，使出美人計，迷惑天神宙斯。 這位牛眼睛 (βοῶπις，ox-eyed)女神，開始用力打扮，用天露(ambrosia)洗得香噴噴，全身抹油，再加噴天露香水 (ambrosia)。梳頭髮，編閃亮美麗的髮辮。下面是天后的精心打扮:
衣服 (ἑανός) 是雅典娜縫製的，滿滿香氣的(ambrosial)布料製成。
黃金別針。
腰帶，有百穗吊飾。
一對耳環，暗紅色，每個耳環有三個墜子。
閃閃發光的頭巾。
繩鞋，配上精美的鞋帶。
這身打扮，堪稱古代的時尚吧! 常言道，女為悅己者容，只是Hera心機真的太重了，除了打扮，接下來天后還會使出更多的把戲!

ἔνθ᾽ ἥ γ᾽ εἰσελθοῦσα θύρας ἐπέθηκε
φαεινάς.
ἀμβροσίῃ μὲν πρῶτον ἀπὸ χροὸς
ἱμερόεντος
λύματα πάντα κάθηρεν, ἀλείψατο
δὲ λίπ᾽ ἐλαίῳ
ἀμβροσίῳ ἑδανῷ, τό ῥά οἱ
τεθυωμένον ἦεν:
τοῦ καὶ κινυμένοιο Διὸς κατὰ
χαλκοβατὲς δῶ
ἔμπης ἐς γαῖάν τε καὶ οὐρανὸν
ἵκετ᾽ ἀϋτμή.
τῷ ῥ᾽ ἥ γε χρόα καλὸν ἀλειψαμένη
ἰδὲ χαίτας
πεξαμένη χερσὶ πλοκάμους ἔπλεξε
φαεινοὺς
καλοὺς ἀμβροσίους ἐκ
κράατος ἀθανάτοιο.
ἀμφὶ δ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ἀμβρόσιον ἑανὸν
ἕσαθ᾽, ὅν οἱ Ἀθήνη
ἔξυσ᾽ ἀσκήσασα, τίθει δ᾽ ἐνὶ
δαίδαλα πολλά:
χρυσείῃς δ᾽ ἐνετῇσι κατὰ στῆθος
περονᾶτο.
ζώσατο δὲ ζώνῃ ἑκατὸν
θυσάνοις ἀραρυίῃ,
ἐν δ᾽ ἄρα ἕρματα ἧκεν ἐϋτρήτοισι
λοβοῖσι
τρίγληνα μορόεντα: χάρις δ᾽
ἀπελάμπετο πολλή.
κρηδέμνῳ δ᾽ ἐφύπερθε
καλύψατο δῖα θεάων
καλῷ νηγατέῳ: λευκὸν δ᾽ ἦν ἠέλιος
ὥς:
ποσσὶ δ᾽ ὑπὸ λιπαροῖσιν ἐδήσατο καλὰ πέδιλα. (Iliad 14. 169-186)
She went in there,
then closed the shining doors. First, with
ambrosia
she washed from her lovely body all the stains,
then rubbed her skin with fragrant oil, divinely
sweet,
made specially for her. If this perfume were merely
stirred
inside Zeus’ bronze-floored house, its scent would
then diffuse
throughout heaven and earth. She used this
perfume
all over her fair body, then arranged her hair.
With her own hands she combed her shining locks in
braids,
a stunning style for an immortal goddess.
Then she wrapped around herself a heavenly robe,
which Athena made for her from silky fabric,
adorning it with gorgeous embroidery.
She pinned the robe around her breast with golden
brooches.
On her waist she put a belt with a hundred tassels.
Hera then fixed earrings in her pierced ear lobes,
each with three gemstones, an enchanting
glitter.
Next the queen of goddesses placed on her head
a fine new dazzling shawl, white as the sun.
She then slipped lovely sandals over her sleek
feet.
