鴴蛋是一種食用蛋,也是西歐的一種季節性美食。 [1] 這些蛋是從野生綠鴴巢穴中採集的,[2] 這種做法被稱為「鴴蛋採集」。人們認為這些蛋味道鮮美,每年築巢季節一到,就會被熱衷於採集的鄉村居民搶購一空,反過來,城市裡的顧客也會蜂擁而至。 [3][4] 諾福克郡史蒂夫基的納撒尼爾·培根的莊園賬目中,有一條記錄,記錄了在 1593 年 3 月 24 日之前的三個月裡,他“向洛德斯和泰勒公司支付了 9 先令,用於在朗厄姆水庫為佩維特人製作壁龕(neaces)12 天的工作”,這在當時是一項商業活動,這表明在當時是一項商業活動,neaces)12 天的工作[5] 在地面築巢的綠鴴更正式的名稱是北田鳧,其二名法名為 Vanellus vanellus。金鴴(學名 Pluvialis apricaria)的巢穴被發現時,就會被投下蛋。 [6]  北田鳧(Vanellus vanellus)的交配配偶和巢穴,18 或 19 世紀荷蘭插圖

Plover eggs were a form of eggs as food, and a seasonal delicacy of western Europe.[1] Gathered from wild green-plover nests,[2] a practice called plover egging, these eggs were perceived to be particularly flavorful and were snatched up by avid rural foragers and, in turn, their urban customers, as soon as nesting season began each year.[3][4] In the manorial accounts of Nathaniel Bacon of Stiffkey in Norfolk, there is an entry in the 3 months to 24 March 1593 for 9 shillings paid "to Lodes & Tayler for 12 daies worke in makeinge of neaces {niches} for pewetes at Langham water", suggesting that plover egg collecting was here a commercial activity. [5] The ground-nesting green plover is more formally the northern lapwing, binomial name Vanellus vanellusGolden plover (Pluvialis apricaria) nests were egged when they could be found.[6]

AI Overview

Jupiter, Roman king of the gods, seduced Alcmene by disguising himself as her husband, Amphitryon, while Amphitryon was away at war. This illicit union resulted in the birth of the hero Herakles (Hercules). The myth explores themes of deception and the complex relationship between humans and gods, and Amphitryon's return home leads to confusion and suspicion before the truth is revealed. 

Key elements of the myth:

Jupiter (Zeus): The king of the gods, known for his romantic entanglements and love of mortal women. 

Alcmene: A mortal princess, wife of Amphitryon, chosen by Jupiter for her beauty and virtue. 

Amphitryon: Alcmene's husband, a respected general. 

The deception: Jupiter, in the form of Amphitryon, visits Alcmene, prolonging the night to three times its normal length. 

The birth of Herakles: Alcmene becomes pregnant with Herakles, a son of both Jupiter and Amphitryon. 

Confusion and revelation: When Amphitryon returns, he encounters both his wife and a servant who claim he has already been there. Eventually, Jupiter reveals his divine nature to Alcmene and her husband. 

Themes in the story:

Deception: A central theme is the deception of Alcmene and, to some extent, the confusion experienced by Amphitryon. 

Divine intervention: The story highlights the interference of the gods in human affairs. 

The power of fate: The events lead to the birth of Herakles, destined for greatness. 

This ancient Greek myth has inspired various artistic and literary works, including plays by Plautus, Molière, and Kleist, often focusing on the humor and complexity of the mistaken identity and the consequences for the mortal characters.
