伊索寓言：赫拉克勒斯與雅典娜
Hercules and Pallas
Hercules, once journeying along a narrow roadway, came across a strange-looking animal that reared its head and threatened him. Nothing daunted, the hero gave him a few lusty blows with his club, and thought to have gone on his way. The monster, however, much to the astonishment of Hercules, was now three times as big as it was before, and of a still more threatening aspect. He thereupon redoubled his blows and laid about him fast and furiously; but the harder and quicker the strokes of the club, the bigger and more frightful grew the monster, and now completely filled up the road. Pallas then appeared upon the scene. "Stop, Hercules," said she. "Cease your blows. The monster's name is Strife. Let it alone, and it will soon become as little as it was at first."
"Strife feeds on conflict."
赫拉克勒斯與雅典娜
赫拉克勒斯經過一條狹窄的路時，見到地上有一個很像蘋果的東西。他用腳想去踩碎它，突然覺得那東西變大了兩倍，於是他更加用力去踩，到后來用大木棒去打。結果那東西越脹越大，把路都堵塞了。他扔下木棒，不知所措地站在那里。這時，雅典娜來到他面前，說：「兄弟，住手吧，這個怪物叫糾紛，如果你不去理會它，它就會平平安安地停放在那里，僅只有蘋果一樣大。若與它爭斗和對抗，它就會膨脹得巨大。」
這個故事帶出的啟示就是：生活中需要和平共處，爭斗和對抗往往會帶來更大的危害。
