《吉姆汉森的说书人：希腊神话》的英文 分集介绍 和 在线视频（缺一集）

The StoryTeller: Greek Myths is a four episode mini-series. Henson attempted a follow-up, The StoryTeller: Greek Myths, which had a different storyteller (Michael Gambon), but the same dog (again performed and voiced by Brian Henson). This second series was first aired in 1990,^[3] focused on Greek mythology and took place in the Minotaur's labyrinth which the new storyteller and his dog wander through. Anthony Minghella was credited as the series' creator.

Only four episodes of this series were made.

Theseus and the Minotaur

An Athenian storyteller and his dog take shelter in the labyrinth of Knossos. There he recounts the story of the Minotaur confined to the maze by King Minos ten centuries earlier. When the young hero Theseus came of age, he began walking the hero's path. Reclaiming his rightful place as the son of Athenian king Aegeus, Theseus insisted on traveling to Crete to face the dreaded Minotaur.

Perseus and the Gorgon

Owing to the oracle's prophecy that he would kill his grandfather, Perseus, the son of Danaë and Zeus, was born in darkness and captivity. Discovering Perseus's existence, the King of Argos banished Perseus and his mother to a wooden chest cast into the sea; they managed to escape death at sea. After coming of age, the young hero vowed to bring back the head of the Gorgon Medusa in order to stop the evil king Polydectes from marrying his mother. He was given special weapons and armor by the gods to complete his task. Using Medusa's head, he petrified Polydectes, who did not believe that Perseus returned with the true head of Medusa. Still, he could not escape the prophecy that he would one day kill his grandfather.

Orpheus and Eurydice

Orpheus, son of Calliope the muse fell in love with Eurydice the moment he set eyes on her. His love for her was so strong that when she perished from a poisoned snake bite, Orpheus traveled down to the Underworld to plead to Hades for her return. His music softened the heart of Hades' wife Persephone. Hades decided to let them both return to the living world as long as Orpheus did not look back. As Orpheus was not certain that Eurydice was following him into the sunlight, he looked back, forgetting the condition, and lost her forever. Thus, he refused to play any music for the villagers, instead hitting his lyre's strings with a rock over and over. The villagers killed him.

Art Malik portrays a convincing Orpheus and Gina Bellman appears as Eurydice while Robert Stephens plays Hades.

Daedalus and Icarus

Daedalus was the greatest craftsman in all of Greece. Unfortunately, his skill did not rub off onto his son Icarus. He was jealous of his nephew, Talos, who invented the saw, and threw him off a balcony, killing him. Because of the crime, Daedalus and Icarus escaped to Crete. Cruel King Minos of Crete asked Daedalus to design a maze to imprison the creature known as the Minotaur, then locked Daedalus and his son inside the labyrinth to make sure only he knows the secrets it hides. But Daedalus escaped, and built a pair of wings for himself and Icarus to escape Crete after he killed a vulture.

Derek Jacobi portrays Daedalus, Ian Hawkes portrays Icarus, Alastair White portrays Talos, and John Wood portrays Minos.
