Athens 2004 Mascot 'Proteas' - a sea-horse
The mascot creator searched for an image that would portray the
four unique values for the ATHENS 2004 Paralympic Games: inspiration, strength,
pursuit, celebration. The mascot for the 2004 Paralympic Games is a sea-horse
(hippocampus) named Proteas, from a divinity of the Greek mythology. The name
embraces the notion of excellence that is a core notion of the Paralympic Games,
as the athletes seek to overcome themselves in achieving even higher competition
performances. The Greek word "protos" means first in rank,
excellent.
雅典2004年殘奧會吉祥物是一只名為普羅蒂斯的海馬，這也是希臘神話中海神的名字。表現雅典殘奧會價值——“啟迪、力量、追求、慶典”。這個名字包含著殘奧會的核心理念“杰出”，如同運動員在比賽中超越自我，以企及更高的競賽目標。在希臘語中，“protos”是第一、杰出的意思。
