Greek Mythology: A loving father and a filial son

Chapter 241 Demeter’s Wrath (page 12)

When Dionysus heard the words, he nodded slightly and sat down at the designated position as instructed. His eyes swept over the surrounding gods without trace, secretly observing their reactions and attitudes. He knows that he is in an environment full of unknowns and variables at this moment, and any slight clue may become the key to his understanding of the world.

His eyes first fell on Zeus. The father of the gods sat on a high throne, overlooking the entire temple. His eyes were deep and majestic, as if he could see through all falsehood and pretense. Dionysus could feel that Zeus exuded a powerful and mysterious power, which made him feel both awe and curiosity.

Then, his eyes turned to Hera. The king of goddesses in the temple is beautiful and noble, with a hint of sharpness and scrutiny in her eyes. Dionysus knew that Hera was an extremely intelligent and calculating goddess, and she would not easily trust an unfamiliar god. Therefore, he must be extremely careful not to reveal any flaws.

Poseidon's expression made Dionysus feel a little uneasy. The Poseidon looked at him with a frown, as if he found something suspicious about him. Dionysus knew that Poseidon was an extremely powerful god who was good at hiding his true thoughts. His vigilance and hostility undoubtedly added an elusive layer of danger to himself.

This Poseidon is much smarter than the Poseidon in his world.

Athena's wisdom and calmness made Dionysus feel a little uneasy, because he had only seen such a situation with his main god Persephone.

As for Apollo, his elegance and grace made Dionysus feel a little kind. Apollo was an artistic and creative god, and his presence added a touch of color to this temple. Dionysus knew that Apollo, although seemingly benign and harmless, was actually an extremely powerful and influential god.

After observing these major gods, Dionysus already had a rough genealogy in mind. He knew that although there were various conflicts and struggles between these gods, they also shared common interests and goals.

However, just as he was thinking secretly, Demeter's voice suddenly sounded: "Everyone, I have called you here today to discuss an important matter. I want to get my daughter Persephone back. , she was snatched away from me by Hades."

Demeter's voice echoed in the Pantheon, and her anger was like a burning fire, making every god present feel the hot and strong aura. Her face was livid, and her eyes were flashing with angry fire, as if she wanted to burn everything that stood in the way of her wish to ashes.

She waved her arms and said loudly: "That shameless Hades took my daughter Persephone away from me when I wasn't paying attention. This is an insult to me as a mother. , and it is also a challenge to the entire Olympus pantheon. I will never give up, and I must make Hades pay the due price."

Her voice was full of determination and determination, which moved the gods present. They knew that Demeter was a mother who loved her daughter extremely, and her feelings for Persephone were too deep to be described in words. Now, having her daughter taken away is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Demeter.

Zeus frowned slightly when he saw Demeter's angry look. He knew that this matter was not simple and involved disputes over power and interests in the world. However, he also knew Demeter's character and strength. If she really got angry, the whole of Olympus might be shaken.

Hera looked on with cold eyes, secretly thinking about how to use this opportunity to enhance her power. If you can use this battle wisely, you may be able to bring unexpected benefits to yourself.

Poseidon looked at Demeter with a playful expression, his heart filled with the mentality of watching a play. He knew that the fights and disputes within Olympus would never stop, and this incident was just a new farce. He had no intention of getting involved, he just wanted to see how the scene would end.

Athena looked at Demeter with worry, knowing that the mother's anger and sadness were real. She also knew what it meant to Demeter that Persephone was taken away. She prayed secretly in her heart, hoping that this fight could be settled as soon as possible and that no more gods would be involved.

Demeter continued: "I hope to call Hades back, and I want to judge this shameless thing in front of the gods!"

Demeter's wrath spread like wildfire throughout the Pantheon, her voice echoing in every corner, shaking the hearts of every god. Zeus frowned, knowing that this dispute may not only trigger a conflict between the two gods, but may also shake the stability of the entire Olympus.

Hera's heart was filled with turbulence, and she was keenly aware that this was an excellent opportunity. She could use this to drive a wedge between Demeter and the other gods, further solidifying her position in Olympus. Her eyes wandered among the gods, looking for possible allies and breakthroughs.

A playful smile appeared on Poseidon's lips, and he seemed to enjoy the feeling of watching a show. To him, the disputes in Olympus were like wonderful dramas, and he was the outside spectator, quietly enjoying it all.

A trace of worry flashed in Athena's eyes, and she knew that Demeter's anger was not groundless. She also knew that Hades' behavior was indeed excessive. However, she also understood what kind of disaster it would bring to Olympus once this dispute escalated.

Apollo shook his head slightly, he did not want to get involved in this dispute. He is a god who loves peace and art, and he has always stayed away from such power struggles and hatred.

Just as the gods were thinking about their own thoughts, Zeus finally spoke: "Demeter, we have all felt your anger. However, quarreling and fighting here will not solve the problem. We should calmly think about how to deal with it properly. this matter."

Demeter calmed down a little after hearing this. She knew that Zeus was telling the truth. However, her heart was still full of anger and unwillingness: "Zeus, although you are the father of the gods, you are also my brother and the father of Persephone. You should make the decision for me! That shameless Hades The culprit must be punished!"

Hera's face stiffened for a moment, and a trace of pity flashed across her face as she looked at Demeter.

Zeus sighed: "Demeter, I understand your feelings. However, Hades is also a member of our Olympus, and we cannot easily convict him. We should listen to his explanation and defense."

At this moment, Hermes stood up. As the messenger of the gods, he has always played a role of communication and coordination. He walked to Demeter and said softly: "Your Highness Demeter, please calm down. I am willing to go to the underworld and bring His Highness Hades to confront you face to face."

Demeter calmed down a little after hearing this. She knew that Hermes was one of Zeus's most trusted gods, and his words had a certain weight. She nodded: "Okay, Hermes, I will believe you just once. You go and bring Hades to see me."

Hermes responded, turned around and walked out of the temple. His figure gradually disappeared under the gaze of the gods, leaving only one sentence that echoed in the Pantheon: "I will take care of this."
