Chanting for the god Apollo

4. The conclusion of marriage

Sure enough, time no longer bothered Pilatus, and when everything was over, an unknown amount of time had passed.

Pilatus and Apollo sat and rested under the big tree. Under the tree was a stretch of green lawn. They leaned shoulder to shoulder and whispered together.Apollo stretched out his hand, and red sunflowers bloomed in the grass, and he dedicated it to his sweetheart——Pilatus.

Pilatus accepted it with a smile. He sniffed lightly and said, "I smell the sun."

Apollo said: "It is a sun flower, and its petals will bloom in the sun."

"He's so beautiful." Pilatus said in admiration, looking at the red sunflowers that were in full bloom under the sunshine.

"Yes, this should be the most beautiful red." Apollo said

Pilatus looked at the other person, leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth, this kiss was pure and intimate.When Pilatus raised his eyes, he could see Apollo's deep eyes and drooping and thick eyelashes, but the most beautiful thing was his smile, the sunshine was elegant and pure.

Apollo stood up, his nine-headed figure was perfect beyond all imaginations of human beings, and at this moment, he stretched out his hand and said: "Come, let's go to the temple, and I will announce to the gods that I am in love with you. "

Pilatus nodded and gave his hand to the other party.So they left the lake and the forest, and returned to the banquet of the gods.

At this time, Zeus in the center of the temple was arguing with the Queen of Heaven for a long time. It was Hera who accused Zeus—

"Zeus, you are always on top, playing with your scheming and conspiracy. The Greeks defeated Troy, and while everyone was rejoicing, you gave Aeneas, the son of Aphrodide, a reminder to leave and go to the new place to build a new kingdom.”

Zeus drank his wine alone and ignored the other party.

Hera shouted angrily: "Zeus, lord of the gods, you will not get what you want. I have sent a storm, and he will be blown by fate to Carthage, where there is the beautiful and wise queen Dido, who will will be married. Aeneas will spend the rest of his life there, and your schemes, your schemes will all fail."

Zeus said: "Aeneas will not stop his steps, Hera, marriage does not affect a man's ambition."

Hera said indifferently: "We will wait and see."

……

Under the storm brought down by Hera, the survivors of Troy had no power to fight back and could only be at the mercy of fate. They arrived in Carthage as Hera expected.And Queen Dido there gave these Trojans good treatment and treated them as her own people; as for Aeneas, the hero of Troy and the future founder of Rome, he was also attracted by Dido's charm, and She is married.

Unknowingly, one day, two days, one month, two months... These Trojans really stopped in Carthage as Hera said, they have forgotten their responsibilities, and docilely throw themselves into happiness and stability life

Hera's smile grew wider and she swore proudly: "Zeus, Lord of the Gods, you are about to face your failure."

How could Zeus sit still, he secretly summoned Hermetus, and asked him to convey his will to the Trojans, and let them raise the sails of the long voyage again.

Hermetus conveyed the will of Zeus, and Aeneas did not forget the mission of God and the task of building Rome. He gathered all the Trojans and prepared to leave Carthage and continue to return to Italy.But at the same time, his love for Dido also made him feel extremely painful about this choice.

On Mount Olympus, Hera frowned and thought about the countermeasures. She said: "Marriage will bear children, and the power of the family will leave Aeneas behind."

……

But it was too fast, everything happened too fast, Aeneas hesitated almost for a moment, that is, he resolutely chose to continue on the journey—she left Dido behind.And Dido and Queen Dido were heartbroken when she saw her husband go away, but soon filled her heart with anger. She hammered her chest like crazy, but she clearly uttered her prayers.

She prayed, praying that the gods would take revenge for her on the man who abandoned her, betrayed her, and abused her——Aeneas.

But she didn't know that the god she prayed to had withdrawn her ears.

……

on Mount Olympus,

Zeus's voice shook the temple, echoing for a long time, he said: "Hera, men will not stop their pace because of marriage and children."

Hera closed her eyes.

And in Carthage, Queen Dido, in despair of being betrayed by love, went to the woodpile and raised Aeneas' sword into her chest.

Her breath was in the air, her life was over.

But the gods have withdrawn all their gazes, and no longer look at this poor and miserable woman. What they didn't notice is that there is still a life being conceived in this dead shell——

Dido's belly was still rising and growing, and her baby was about to be born.This child was killed by his own father and also by his own mother, escaped the eyes of the gods, and was born amidst the crying of the whole city.

……

There was silence in the temple, until Apollo led Pilatus to arrive, and he said, "Everyone, I have found my love, and I got a response."

On the throne, Hera opened her eyes and asked her soul: "Apollo, since you are in love, are you willing to make a marriage vow?"

All the gods held their breath, waiting for Apollo's answer.

Apollo is an eternal youth, eternal sunshine, happiness, and passion. He is a god who is destined to have no marriage.But at this moment, Hera, who was in charge of marriage, questioned him.

Heraine and Zeus entered into a marriage because they fell in love and vowed to guard the marriage contract forever, providing responsibility, loyalty and commitment for love.But also because of Zeus's betrayal and infidelity, she said that marriage will be shackles, a cage, and bondage, and cursed that marriage will bring misfortune.But at this moment, she asked Apollo to put the shackles, cages, and restraints on Apollo, who was always running and always sunny.

Everyone is waiting, waiting for an answer from Apollo.If he agrees, he will be involved in the vortex of this marriage, and if he refuses, Hera will turn his back on him and Pilatus forever.

Before Apollo could speak, Pilatus said, "Hera, the Queen of Heaven, I am willing."

Hera set her eyes on this mortal boy who was not in her sights, and listened to his oath: "I swear to chase the light forever, be curious forever, and never stop my pace. I will be like my curiosity forever, forever Hope and love for the light."

After Pilatus finished speaking, he turned his head and said softly: "My god Apollo, I am willing to enter into a marriage with you, offering my responsibility, loyalty and commitment."

Apollo stared at Pilatus, stroked his face, looked into his eyes and said: "The light will always give you feedback, my Pilatus, I am also willing to enter into a marriage with you."

"Hera has heard your oath." Hera's expression gradually calmed down. She was a little sad but also very gentle. She said: "Apollo, may the light bless you and all those who enter into marriage. I Already unfortunate, but I don’t want to reject the light any longer, and let my hatred bind everyone.”

She pondered for a moment, and swore to all things in the world: "I, Hera, is willing to give up part of my priesthood, and hand over the future of marriage to the person who made the contract. You will control your own marriage destiny."

Something went away, but her body became lighter. Hera returned to the throne and became the queen of heaven again. She finally said: "Apollo, may your light illuminate all those who are confused in marriage."

Apollo said to Hera: "Light is everywhere."

He took Pilatus' hand and left the temple again, this time with a completely different feeling.

—they became a newlywed couple.

……

Mary stopped her tears, but there were still tears on her face and her eyes were red and swollen. She looked pitiful and cute. She asked in a nasal voice, "Uncle George, what are Apollo and Pilatus doing?"

George said with a smile: "They are going on their honeymoon. Apollo led Pilatus to walk on Mount Olympus, enjoying the scenery of the mountain and the palace of the gods."

Jack asked excitedly: "What does the palace of God look like? Is it beautiful?"

Susan said: "That is a temple, it must be extremely majestic and magnificent." After speaking, everyone looked at George, that is, Pilatus, the only mortal who had climbed the mountain, waiting for him to tell about the mountain and the temple. look.

George pondered and recalled, and his voice came from the wind for a long time:

"...Extremely imaginative, you can't imagine what happens."

Where does the fire come, and where does the disaster come.

It was the paradise of the gods, the beginning of all civilizations, and the lifelong longing of the Greeks.

To them all love and hate, my Greek gods.

The author has something to say:

Chapter [-] Love, Chapter [-] Marriage

The first volume should be here, and then the second volume will start, sprinkle flowers?? (°▽°)ノ? (sprinkle for yourself

1. "Aeneid" is an epic written by the ancient Romans after defeating Greece. After all, they have to write some history for themselves. Its author is Virgil, and the story line follows Homer's epic , just after the Iliad.Because I thought it was a good insertion point, I chose it, and we made it up together.

2. I'm really lazy, so I omitted a lot of Dido's death, and I won't talk about many epic parts in the future. Anyway, this is not the point, but falling in love is hahaha.

Change the tail.
