Noun:
a follower who carries out orders without questionGreek mythology a member of the warriors who followed Achilles on the expedition against Troy在希腊神话中，主神宙斯看上了河神阿索波斯的女儿埃癸娜Aegina。他化成一 只大鹰，把埃癸娜拐到一座小岛上，这座小岛从此就以埃癸娜的名字命名。在这里，埃癸娜生下儿子埃阿科斯Aeacus，埃阿科斯长大后成为该岛国王。天 后赫拉嫉恨他母亲和宙斯的关系，降下瘟疫杀死了埃癸娜岛的大部分人口。埃阿科斯祈求父亲宙斯帮助。宙斯就把蚂蚁变成了人，这些蚂蚁人成了该岛的新居民，被 称为密耳弥多涅Myrmidon，来自于希腊语myrmex蚂蚁，意思就是“蚂蚁人”。这些人的最大特点就是勤劳和严格服从命令。在后来的特洛伊 战争中，密耳弥多涅人蚂蚁人在希腊大将阿喀琉斯Achilles的率领下远征特洛伊。在战场上，密耳弥多涅人的严格服从、勇猛无惧给人留下了深刻 印象。所以，在西方文化里，密耳弥多涅人被用来指那些“盲目执行主子命令的人；忠实的仆人”；从18世纪开始，“法律的密耳弥多涅”myrmidon of the law就表示“盲目、无情地执行命令的警察等执法人员，法律的奴仆。”
