摘要：刻克洛普斯，半龍半人，人首蛇身，雅典創建者，Attica 第一任國王。由大地誕生。教導雅典人婚禮、讀寫、葬禮儀式

Cecrops (in Greek, Κέκρωψ, Kékrōps) was a mythical king of Athens. The name means 'face with a tail': it is said that, born from the earth itself, he had his top half shaped like a man and the bottom half in serpent or fish-tail form. He was the founder and the first king of Athens itself, though preceded in the region by the earth-born king Actaeus of Attica. Cecrops was a culture hero, teaching the Athenians marriage, reading and writing, and ceremonial burial.
During his reign, Athena became the patron goddess of the city of Athens in a competition with Poseidon which Cecrops judged. They agreed that each would give the Athenians one gift, and Cecrops would choose whichever gift they preferred. Poseidon struck the rock of the Acropolis with his trident and a spring sprang up; the water was salty and was not thought very useful, whereas Athena struck the rock with her lance and an olive tree sprung up. Cecrops judged the olive tree to be the superior gift, for the olive tree brought wood, oil and food, and consequently accepted Athena as their patron. Poseidon, in a rare show of magnanimity, decided to grant his gift regardless, although its nature was initially misunderstood: it was meant to represent sea power, which Athens was to exercise gloriously in the future.
The Acropolis was also known as the Cecropia in his honor.
Cecrops I was the father of three daughters: Herse, Pandrosus and Aglaurus. To them was given a box or jar containing the infant Erichthonius to guard unseen. They looked, and terrified by the two serpents Athena had set within to guard the child, they fled in terror and lept from the Acropolis to their deaths. Some accounts say one of the sisters was turned to stone instead.
Apparently Cecrops married Aglaurus, the daughter of Actaeus (former king of the region). It is unknown if this woman was the mother of Cecrops's son Erysichthon. Erysichthon predeceased him, and he was succeeded by Cranaus.

刻克洛普斯（希臘語Κέκρωψ，Kékrōps）是神話中的雅典王。其名意為“有尾的臉”：據說他由大地所生，上半身像人而下半身是蛇或魚尾的樣子。他是雅典的開邦君主，雖然在此之前，從土地誕生的Actaeus（阿克塔伊奧斯？）已經是阿提卡地區的王。刻克洛普斯是一個文化英雄，教導雅典人婚禮、讀寫和殯葬儀式。
刻克洛普斯統治期間，雅典娜在一場他裁判的比賽中擊敗波塞冬成為雅典城的守護神。兩神同意各自給雅典人一份禮物，由刻克洛普斯挑選他們更喜歡的一份。波塞冬用三叉戟刺衛城的岩石，出現了一口泉；但泉水是鹹的，人們認為沒多大用處，而雅典娜用長槍刺岩石，長出一棵橄欖樹。刻克洛普斯判定橄欖樹是更好的禮物，因為它帶來木材、油和食物，所以接受雅典娜當守護神。波塞冬，少有的顯出寬宏大量，決定無論如何也要送出他的禮物，雖然性質一開始就被誤解了：它的意思是展示海的力量，雅典將來應該光榮地運用。
雅典衛城也被稱為Cecropia作為對他的紀念。
刻克洛普斯I世有三個女兒：Herse、Pandrosus和Aglaurus（阿格拉烏洛斯？）。她們被給予一個裝着嬰兒Erichthonius（艾力克托尼奧斯？）的箱子或罈子看守不被看見。她們看了，並且被雅典娜安置來保護小孩的兩條蛇嚇倒，驚慌逃竄從衛城上掉下摔死。也有說姐妹中的一人被變成了石頭。
顯然刻克洛普斯娶了另一個Aglaurus，Actaeus（地區的先王）的女兒。尚不清楚此女是否刻克洛普斯之子Erysichthon（艾琉西克頓？）的生母。Erysichthon比他早過世，他由Cranaus（克蘭納奧斯？）繼位。

感謝銀月對翻譯提出的建議：

Poseidon, in a rare show of magnanimity, decided to grant his gift regardless, although its nature was initially misunderstood: it was meant to represent sea power, which Athens was to exercise gloriously in the future.
波塞冬難得地顯現出如此寬宏大量，他決定就算他輸掉了這場博弈，也要將這份禮物送給雅典，雖然一開始雅典人誤解了這份禮物的含義：這份禮物就是海的控制力，而雅典人可以在將來（？）光榮地運用它。
