赫拉克勒斯和密涅瓦的寓言故事

赫拉克勒斯有一次經過一條狹窄的路時，見到前面的地上有一個類似蘋果的東西，走到那裏時，他便用腳去踩它。讓他驚訝的是，那個東西不但沒有碎，反而成倍增大了。他又去踩了一下，而且還用大木捧去打它。結果，那個東西迅速膨脹起來，堵住了整條路。他扔下木捧，不知所措地站在那裏盯着看。這時，密涅瓦出現了，對他說：“朋友，隨他去吧，你眼前看到的正是那個禍根。如果你不去理它，它就會依然小如蘋果一樣待在原地，可是，如果你採用暴力與之抗衡，它就會變成你看到的這個樣子了。”

HERCULES AND MINERVA

Hercules was once travelling along a narrow road when he saw lying on the ground in front of him what appeared to be an apple，and as he passed he stamped upon it with his his astonishment，instead of being crushed it doubled in size；and，on his attacking it again and smiting it with his club，it swelled up to an enormous size and blocked up the whole this he dropped his club，and stood looking at it in then Minerva appeared，and said to him，“Leave it alone，my friend；that which you see before you is the apple of discord：if you do not meddle with it，it remains small as it was at first，but if you resort to violence it swells into the thing you see.”
