问题     They may look like a couple of characters flown in from Disneyland, but the official mascots (吉祥物) of Athens 2004 actually say a lot about Greek culture. Through Phevos and Athena, two of the country’s most treasured mythological (神话的) characters, Athens plans to share its history with the world.
    Phevos is the Greek name for Apollo, god of light and music. His sister, Athena, is the goddess of wisdom and ’art. The city of Athens is named after her. Though their creation was inspired by ancient Greek dolls from the 7th century BC, Phevos and Athena are children of modern times.
    They are simple and joyful, full of life and creativity, naughty and lovable. As brother and sister, boy and girl, they are also symbols of equality and brotherhood around the world. Whether they are rowing, diving or enjoying themselves on a trampoline (蹦床), Phevos and Athena see sports as a game, as all children do. In this spirit, they represent the Olympic values: participation (参与), equality, co-operation and fair play.
    In everything they do there is life, laughter, freedom of movement and a will to cooperate and stay united. This summer Phevos and Athena will share the joy of the greatest celebration of humanity (人类): the Olympic Games.
