Greek Mythology: A loving father and a filial son
Chapter 253 The Thoughts of Hera and Zeus (page 12)
The Marriage Temple, a holy place symbolizing eternal love and commitment, is located among the lush mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist, and is as attractive as a fairyland. Sunlight shines through the exquisite window lattice and onto the marble floor inside the temple, forming mottled light and shadow. The air is filled with the light fragrance of flowers and sandalwood, which is refreshing.
The door of the temple slowly opened, revealing the mysterious and solemn scene inside. The towering dome is inlaid with bright gems, shining with charming light. The surrounding walls are carved with exquisite reliefs, telling ancient love legends. The pillars in the hall are wrapped with rose vines symbolizing love and purity. The petals sway gently in the wind, as if telling a thousand-year vow.
In the center of the hall, Hera looked at her two children Hephaestus, the God of Fire, and Ares, the God of War, with a smile on her face.
In the Marriage Temple, Hera, Hephaestus and Ares, mother and son, sat together in a solemn and harmonious atmosphere. Their conversation was about the inheritance of the God King's position and the future of Mount Olympus.
Hera touched her long skirt gracefully and spoke first: "Hephaestus, Ares, you are all the most outstanding children in my heart. Now, the position of God King is vacant. This is an important moment. , For Olympus, the new god-king must possess wisdom, courage and justice."
Hephaestus lowered his head, his voice was calm and powerful: "Mother, I understand what you mean. As the God of Fire, I have always been committed to forging and protecting. Although my appearance is not handsome enough, my heart is firm .I am willing to take on this responsibility and use my strength and wisdom to protect Mount Olympus."
Ares straightened his chest, with fighting intent flashing in his eyes: "Mother, I am the God of War, and the glory and victory on the battlefield have always been with me. The position of the God King requires someone who can lead the gods to glory and glory. leader. I believe I am qualified for this position.”
Hera looked at them with a smile, her heart full of pride and emotion: "My children, you are all excellent. But the position of the God King requires not only strength and wisdom, but also a tolerant and fair heart. This What is needed is a leader who can balance the interests of all parties and lead the gods to move forward together.”
Hephaestus nodded: "Mother, I understand. I will continue to work hard and strive to become a better version of myself."
Ares frowned and said reluctantly: "Mother, I don't understand. On the battlefield, only the strong can survive. Why can't we, like warriors, use strength and courage to decide everything?"
"So mother, who do you want to become the God King?" Hephaestus asked Hera calmly. Hera was slightly startled when she heard Hephaestus's question, and then showed a deep smile.
She shook her head gently and looked between the two children: "My children, you are the most precious existence in my heart. I have no fixed idea in my heart about who can become the God King. After all, so There are many people watching this position, Zeus can’t hold it.!”
Hera took a deep breath, and her eyes became serious, as if she wanted to penetrate time and space to reveal those dusty past events. She spoke slowly, with a heavy and helpless tone in her voice: "Zeus, his name echoes on Mount Olympus, but his actions have offended every one of our main gods."
"The first thing he offended was Poseidon, the god of the sea. Our younger brother! In the battle for the position of the god king, Zeus took advantage of his mother's love for him and became the god king. Poseidon was so angry that he fought with Zeus developed a deep hatred.”
"Then there is Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Zeus once courted her but was rejected. He also devoured her mother, Metis, the goddess of wisdom."
"Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, was also harmed by Zeus. In order to pursue her, Zeus turned into a beast and took possession of her by force. This rough behavior made Aphrodite feel deeply humiliated. and anger.”
"The sun god Apollo was not immune. Zeus was jealous of Apollo's musical talent and the glory of the sun god's chariot, and even ordered to deprive him of sunlight for a period of time, plunging the whole world into darkness. Apollo lost many believers and admirers as a result , the hatred towards Zeus is also getting deeper and deeper.”
"There is also Demeter, the goddess of agriculture. Her daughter Persephone was forcibly taken away without any help from Zeus, which caused her to become the queen of the underworld. Demeter lost her beloved daughter and was devastated. , the resentment towards Zeus is unspeakable.”
Hera's voice became deeper and deeper, as if every word she spoke was filled with pain and anger. She looked at Hephaestus and Ares and said earnestly: "My children, have you seen? This is what Zeus did. He offended each of our main gods and made us full of Contradictions and disputes have ended. How can such a god-king lead Olympus to glory and glory?"
Ares said hesitantly: "Mother, are you so sure that Zeus will fail? You must know that the prophecy is both a curse and a destiny. Only the father's youngest child can replace him."
When Hera heard Ares' words, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She understood Ares' worship and reverence for Zeus, after all Zeus was their father and the ruler of Olympus. But she also knew that Zeus's actions had caused outrage and that his dominance was in jeopardy.
She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Ares, you have to understand that a prophecy is just a prophecy, it does not determine everything. Although Zeus is the youngest child, he is not necessarily the final ruler. He His behavior has deeply disappointed us, and we cannot let him continue to cause harm to Mount Olympus."
Hephaestus also nodded, and his steady voice echoed in the temple: "Mother is right. We cannot be blindly loyal to Zeus because of the prophecy. What we need is a leader who can truly lead us to the light. rather than a god-king who will only bring disaster and strife.”
Ares was silent for a moment, his eyes flashing with complicated emotions. He knew that his brother and mother were right, but he still couldn't completely let go of his worship and awe of Zeus. He sighed and said helplessly: "I understand what you mean. I will think about it carefully."
Hera looked at Ares and felt a little relieved. She knew that Ares was a smart and rational child who could distinguish right from wrong and make the right choices. She believes that as long as he is given enough time and space, he will understand the qualities and responsibilities that a true leader should have.
At this moment, in another part of Mount Olympus, Zeus was sitting alone on the throne, his eyes deep and complicated. He knew his dominance was in jeopardy, and he knew his actions had caused outrage. But he still firmly believed that he was the ruler of Olympus and that he had the power and ability to decide everything.
However, he also knew in his heart that the power of prophecy cannot be ignored. He knew his dominance could be overtaken by his youngest child. But he is unwilling to give up power and glory, and he is determined to maintain his dominance at any cost.
Zeus's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness and determination. He knew that to maintain his dominance, he had to take some extreme measures. He cannot allow his power and glory to be threatened or challenged in any way.
However, he did not know that his behavior had completely disappointed the gods. Instead of being blindly loyal to him, they began to look for new leaders to lead them to the light. Hera, Hephaestus and Ares are the best among them. They have wisdom and courage, as well as a deep love and sense of responsibility for Mount Olympus.
