Homer 《荷马史诗》是相传由古希腊盲诗人荷马创作的两部长篇史诗《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》的统称。两部史诗都分成24卷，这两部史诗最初可能只是基于古代传说的口头文学，靠着乐师的背诵流传。它作为史料，不仅反映了公元前11世纪到公元前9世纪的社会情况，而且反映了迈锡尼文明。它再现了古代希腊社会的图景，是研究早期社会的重要史料。《荷马史诗》不仅具有文学艺术上的重要价值，它在历史、地理、考古学和民俗学方面也提供给后世很多值得研究的东西。
荷马史诗是相传由古希腊盲诗人荷马创作的两部长篇史诗《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》的统称。关于荷马所生的年代和是否确有其人都存在争议。比较普遍的看法认为他可能生在公元前9、8世纪之间。 两部史诗都分成24卷，《伊利亚特》共有15693行，《奥德赛》共有12110行。这两部史诗最初可能只是基于古代传说的口头文学，靠着乐师的背诵流传。荷马如果确有其人，应该是将两部史诗整理定型的作者。《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》处理的主题分别是在特洛伊战争中，阿喀琉斯与阿伽门农间的争端，以及特洛伊沦陷后，奥德修斯返回绮色佳岛上的王国，与皇后珀涅罗珀团聚的故事。 《荷马史诗》是早期英雄时代的大幅全景，也是艺术上的绝妙之作，它以整个希腊及四周的汪洋大海为主要情节的背景，展现了自由主义的自由情景，并为日后希腊人的道德观念（进而为整个西方社会的道德观念），立下了典范。继此而来的，首先是一种追求成就，自我实现的人文伦理观，其次 是一种人神同性的自由神学，剥除了精神世界中的神秘恐惧。《荷马史诗》 于是成了“希腊的圣经”。 公元前11世纪到公元前9世纪的希腊史称作“荷马时代”，因荷马史诗而得名。荷马史诗是这一时期唯一的文字史料。 《荷马史诗》相传是由盲诗人荷马写成，实际上它是许多民间行吟歌手的集体口头创作，由荷马加工整理而成。史诗包括了迈锡尼文明以来多少世纪的口头传说，到公元前6世纪才写成文字。

狐假虎威： The Ass in the Lion's Skin
An Ass once found a Lion's skin which the hunters had left out in the sun to dry.
He put it on and went towards his native village.
All fled at his approach, both men and animals, and he was a proud Ass that day.
In his delight he lifted up his voice and brayed, but then every one knew him, and his owner came up and gave him a sound cudgelling for the fright he had caused.
And shortly afterwards a Fox came up to him and said: "Ah, I knew you by your voice."
Fine clothes may disguise, but silly words will disclose a fool.

龟兔赛跑 The Tortoise and the Hare
The hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. "I have never yet been beaten," said he, "when I put forth my full speed. I challenge anyone here to race with me."
The tortoise said quietly, "I accept your challenge."
"That is a good joke," said the hare. "I could dance around you all the way."
"Keep your boasting until you've beaten," answered the tortoise. "Shall we race?"
So a course was fixed and a start was made. The hare darted almost out of sight at once, but soon stopped and, to show his contempt for the tortoise, lay down to have a nap. The tortoise plodded on and plodded on, and when the hare awoke from his nap, he saw the tortoise nearing the finish line, and he could not catch up in time to save the race.
Plodding wins the race.

The Dog in the Manger出自《伊索寓言》（Aesop's Fables），有一篇狗站马槽的故事，说的是一头狗躺在堆满稻草的马槽里，狗是不吃草的动物，而当马或牛一走进稻草时，这头狗却朝着马，牛狂哮，不准食草动物享用。
因此，“狗站马槽”就成了一个家喻户晓的成语而进入英语中，常用来比喻a person who prevents others from enjoying sth that is useless to himself; a churlish fellow who will neither use a thing himself nor let others use it，讽刺那些占据说职位或某些物质却不做事的人。
The Dog in the Manger is a fable attributed to Aesop, concerning a dog who one afternoon lay down to sleep in the manger. On being awoken, he ferociously kept the cattle in the farm from eating the hay on which he chose to sleep, even though he was unable to eat it himself, leading an ox to mutter the moral of the fable:
People often begrudge others what they cannot enjoy themselves.
The phrase is proverbial, referring to people who prevent others from having something that they themselves have no use for. A typical example is the child who discards a toy — until a sibling tries to play with it. Then the first child becomes possessive about something they no longer wanted.
A twist on the story was used by Charles Schulz in a "Peanuts" strip, in which Lucy van Pelt acquires a baseball card of Charlie Brown's favorite player, and she refuses to give it to him. After he leaves disconsolately, she decides she doesn't really like the card that well, and throws it away.
In Spanish, the story is called El Perro del Hortelano, or The Vegetable Gardener's Dog.
The metaphor is also attributed to Jesus in The Gospel of Thomas by comparing the dog with the Pharisees.
