Greek Mythology: I Opened A Treasure Chest At Olympus

Chapter 43: The Disappearing Name, Princess Delphi (Second)

Apollo left Olympus and walked on the vast land.

This mythical world is completely different from the Greece of the earth.

The earth is incomparably vast, and the ocean is surrounded by the earth. There are city-states on the earth, but more of it is an uninhabited wilderness.

The end of the world is visible, and the gods can find the limit of the earth and the edge of the sea.

Breathing the fresh air of the vast soil, he opened a book of 'History of the Gods' borrowed from Athena.

The book is a very old book. It is said that the first edition of the book was written before the establishment of the first generation of gods. Later, some people added follow-up content.

Turning to the first page, "Chaos Chaos was born first. He appeared in nothingness, carrying darkness and night, and bringing the first ray of light."

"The second is the earth Gaia. The vast earth gives birth to the vast sky, the continuous mountains, and the boundless ocean."

"In the depths of the earth, the darkest and darkest Tartarus appeared. He is the source of all fear and the darkest place in the universe."

"The five primordial gods, Chaos Chaos was the first to be born, Earth Mother Gaia was the second, and Abyss Tartarus was the third. These three do not have any bloodline or relationship between the creator and the creator, only the born The relationship between them. The latter two, Nyx, the goddess of the night, and Erebos, the god of darkness, were conceived by Chaos Chaos." Looking at the book in his hand, Apollo murmured.

This is in good agreement with the theogony records on Earth in previous lives.

Although many people circulate on the Internet, Chaos Chaos is the creator of the Greek pantheon, who created the gods such as Gaia, the mother of the earth, and Tartarus of the abyss.

But mainstream Greek mythology has never said that chaos is only born before the earth and the abyss, and there is no creator relationship between the three.

Only night and darkness are born in chaos.

"However, Chaos Chaos is indeed the most mysterious and powerful primordial god. The two gods he gave birth to have reached the primordial realm, and the sky, mountains and oceans nurtured by Mother Earth Gaia are all A bit worse."

"The Mother Earth, the Lord of the Abyss, the Goddess of the Night, and the God of Darkness were still active in the ignorant era before the establishment of the First God Court, and then gradually retired."

"But from the beginning of the creation, Chaos Chaos, who has always been the head of the primordial god, has never shown his deeds."

"Perhaps, it's not that he never appeared, but that later gods couldn't understand things about him."

Apollo whispered.

Chaos Chaos, the first god at the beginning of the world, the oldest and most powerful existence, is too mysterious.

No matter how powerful and stalwart the other four primordial gods were, they all became popular.

Only this one left nothing about it except for a name.

Not even a legend at all.

Walking on the earth, he continued to read the book in his hand, "The earth gives birth to the sky, mountains and oceans, among which the sky completely wraps the earth, and they are connected to each other, giving birth to twelve children, including celestial bodies, lights, oceans and rivers, among them the youngest The one who cut the connection between the sky and the earth with a sickle."

"Uh, this can also be said to be 'root breaking', but it's not so dirty to write it out like this, and it saves face for several gods."

"Darkness and night combine to give birth to Space Aether and Daytime Hermera, and then night alone gave birth to Death Thanatos, Sleeping Hypnos, and Discord Eris... Hey, what's the first line? is blank."

Apollo stared blankly at the page in front of him, frowning slightly.

On the list of children born by the goddess of the night Nix alone, there is a name missing.

That name seemed to have been erased by some kind of force.

"The names above are arranged according to the time of birth. This blank line is the first, which means that it is the eldest son or eldest daughter of Goddess Nyx."

"The second-ranked gods were all born during the reign of the first generation of gods, so this eldest son was probably born in the previous ignorant era."

Apollo guessed.

Suddenly, he heard a loud noise coming from the front.

...

"Father, I can't go to Athens, so I'll bring you rescue soldiers."

Looking at the ugly beast in front of her, Tekasha wept, her beautiful cheeks filled with despair.

Not long ago, she was the noble princess of Delphi, enjoying the favor of her father and the love of her people.

But terrible monsters attacked her city-state.

Delphi is only a small city-state, there is no powerful hero with the blood of the gods, and it can only form an army to fight against it.

But how can the power of mortals be comparable to that of monsters that destroy the world?

The wall was soon breached.

The king asked her to take someone to ask for help.

Seek the most splendid pearl in Greece, the civilized city of Athens that believes in the goddess Athena, and send powerful heroes to help Delphi.

But now, he can no longer complete this task.

"Princess, hurry up!"

The maid who had taken care of her since childhood shouted and pushed her away.

puff!

A monster with three heads, full of spikes, smashed the head of the maid with its tail.

The bloody scene made Tekasha tremble, and she hated her weakness and powerlessness.

"God, please save us, I am willing to dedicate myself to you and serve in the temple for life..."

Concentrating on the hideous beast claws that gradually shrouded the sky, Tekasha collapsed to the ground, praying in despair.

In fact, she didn't report much hope.

As a highly educated royal family, she knows the tempers of the gods too well.

The word mercy does not appear to them.

"Believe in the power of the gods, but don't believe in their mercy." This was what her teacher told her.

But at this moment, what can she do other than pray?

"Gods, even if you have only the slightest mercy, please come to me and save the people of Delphi..."

Tekasha kept her bright eyes open as she watched the monster's hideous claws fall on her head.

She never closes her eyes.

She wanted to see if the gods really gave up on all beings on the earth and let mortals be ravaged.

"Sure enough, no gods will save us..."

At the last moment, the scales of the monster's giant claws were clearly visible, and the disgusting stench penetrated into the nostrils.

The expected miracle still hasn't happened.

Tekasha closed her eyes desperately.

At this moment, a golden light emerged.

Brilliant divine light enveloped the ugly monster, turning it to ashes in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, have I arrived in the underworld?" After a long time, Tekasha opened her eyes suspiciously.

What caught my eye was a bright light.

And a handsome and elegant boy bathed in light.

"Mortal, are you praying to me?"

PS: At present, the most mainstream of Greek mythology is the theogony of Hesios, which is mainly used in this book, plus some other versions.

In the theogony, Chaos Chaos, Earth Gaia, and Abyss Tartarus were all born from nothingness. It was not Chaos who created everything, and then created the earth and the abyss.

I checked a lot of information and found that many reading materials in circulation have also made Chaos a god like the creator.

This has to do with translation, the original Greek mythology did not say this.

Take the famous Cronos who seized the throne and used a sickle to slap Uranos. In fact, in another translation, it can also be interpreted as dividing the sky and the earth, similar to the meaning of 'Jedi Tiantong'.

In Greek, earth and Gaia are the same word, and sky and Uranus are the same word, which can be anthropomorphic gods or heaven and earth itself.
