Ares does not want to fall in love [Greek mythology]

The trip to the medicine field ended in Apollo's rejection, and the two male gods returned to their previous life patterns. They got up early every day to hunt and discussed strategies at night, but there was a little more intimacy in their daily interactions, whether it was looking at each other, holding hands, My heart is always as sweet as honey.

Before he knew it, it was Hera's birthday.

Hera thinks very highly of herself and advertises herself as the most honorable goddess in the God Realm. Every birthday party of hers is specially organized and extremely lively.This year is no exception.

For this banquet, Hera not only invited the gods of Olympus, but also sent birthday invitations to the Underworld and the Sea Realm.In order to accommodate the large number of guests, she decided to throw an open-air party, just outside the temple of the goddess of marriage and fertility lined with white stone pillars.

Helios appeared at the banquet in a carriage, and the sky gradually dimmed.Luxurious cars drove across the sky, like shooting stars, they couldn't wait for it to get dark, and they couldn't wait to appear in the sky.

Ares took a bath unhurriedly to wash away the dust of hunting during the day, and then invited Adonis to step on time to the temple of Hera, the Queen of Heaven on Mount Stefani.

Outside the temple, everything has been arranged properly.The tables and chairs were wiped clean, as if they could reflect the moonlight; all the delicacies were placed on the tables, and the wafting fragrance made people move their index fingers.Pomegranate trees guard the banquet hall like guards, cuckoos sing among the trees, singing the grace of the most noble goddess in the world, and lilies bloom quietly at night, welcoming all the guests with their white smiling faces .

The radiant goddess arrived at the venue early. Since she is the host of the banquet, she will naturally be the focus of the banquet.On this day, she is no longer as expensive as before. Although she still looks at people with her chin raised and her eyelids slightly closed, there are little smiles in her eyes, showing her good mood.

Adonis looked at Hera surrounded by the crowd, and asked, "Ares, do you want to go over and congratulate the queen?"

Ares held the heavy gift box in his arms, frowned and said: "No, just congratulate her when the gift is given later." tongue.Besides, people may not welcome him.

Adonis thought it would be difficult for him to move the gift box, so he invited him to sit down in the corner, waiting for the banquet to start in this rare and clean place.

After a day of hunting, Ares was actually a little sleepy.Adonis saw his tiredness and motioned him to close his eyes and rest on his own.It was quiet for a while, but saw a few delicate figures walking over, and then a conversation sounded.

"My dear Aerys, you are a rainbow from the sky in the dark of night, and you don't know it, your outfits light up this drab world!"

"You are really good at talking. How can I bear such a high evaluation in such a simple dress? It is our queen Hera, who is extremely beautiful today!" The rainbow goddess Iris is the servant god of the queen Hera. , she has a flattering mouth, and her words are as sweet as honey.

"Is that goddess here? In this sacred mountain of Olympus, there is only one who can compare with the queen of heaven."

The "goddess" here is self-evident, referring to Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty.

Aerys' voice sounded again, and after being lowered, it was like the whisper of a reed blown by the wind: "You don't know? The goddess' wedding date is set for today, and she should be sitting in the palace of the god of death now, facing the whole room. You're crying and crying bitterly!" Iris and Hera were equally disgusted with Aphrodite's attitude.

"Ah!" The goddesses who were talking with Iris exclaimed and discussed softly.

"It's too pitiful! After all, it's a major event in the life of a god, but you can't get blessings!"

"Today, Queen Hera invited guests from the Three Realms, will it be..."

Iris directly affirmed their guess: "Aphrodite's wedding date was set by the Empress Dowager, what do you think?"

All the goddesses expressed their sympathy for Aphrodite, but there was always a cold smile in their voices.

Adonis didn't want to listen anymore. Although it was impolite to intend to talk to others, it seemed that it should be a different matter if it was such a behind-the-scenes discussion that was interrupted.He coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the goddesses.The long-tongued goddesses noticed the figures of the two male gods under the pomegranate tree, let out a low cry of embarrassment, and scattered away.

Adonis thought Ares was asleep, but he suddenly heard him say: "I never thought that Aphrodite, who has always thought highly of herself, would end up in such a field."

Adonis didn't say anything, just listened quietly.He wanted to hear Ares' attitude towards the goddess.Although I know that the two of them have no personal relationship.However, Adonis had to say frankly that he actually cared, caring about the romantic rumors that had been circulating for hundreds of years.

Ares didn't know what Adonis was thinking. He suggested: "Adonis, I think, when we are free, let's meet her and congratulate her. After all, she was so targeted by Hera, It has something to do with what happened in Cyprus." He was always one-sided, and some of the things Aphrodite did were really annoying, but in this case, they should give her a little consolation.

Adonis thought to himself, if the two of them went to congratulate, wouldn't Aphrodite understand it as showing off their might?He considered for a moment, and said from Ares' point of view: "Our journey to the underworld will inevitably have some twists and turns, so please ask the envoy to help bring a gift there."

Ares thinks this is a good idea. As for Aphrodite's reaction after receiving the gift, it is out of his consideration.

Having said that, the impatient Ares began to look around to see if Hermes had arrived at the banquet.However, Zeus, the king of gods, was striding towards the queen Hera. The two talked and laughed, and seemed to have a very harmonious relationship.

That is really a superficial couple.

Ares shook his head.

Thinking that his lover is so good with him, he became proud again, and happily took Adonis's hand.

The two supreme gods of Olympus have arrived, and the banquet has officially begun.The amorous God King congratulated his wife, and the affectionate look in his eyes made none of the watching gods unwilling to believe their feelings; but he knew clearly that it was only the highest level. Deceit is the most common means used by Zeus to deceive innocent girls.

Hera maintained a graceful smile, her cheeks were flushed like a peach blossom, and there were stars in her eyes. She looked a little girlish, and she looked very beautiful.

What reason does she have to be unhappy?

The most beautiful goddess of Olympus was married to the dark underworld by her, and even the wedding ceremony was robbed of the limelight by her birthday party; the hateful Demeter was seriously injured for some reason, and she came to the banquet today with an expressionless face. Her daughter, the savage Persephone, was condemned to meditate in the abyss of Tartarus, never to be proud again; even Athena, who had always dominated her with wisdom, was in the world A bad name spread, reputation and faith plummeted.

But she is still the unchanging queen of Olympus!

Through this birthday party, she wants to let all the gods of the three realms see her majesty!

The queen Hera, dressed in exquisitely embroidered robes, stepped onto the temporary high platform and loudly announced the official start of the banquet.

The goddess of youth who was serving wine put down the flagon in her hand, raised her skirt and hurried to her car, took down the gift she had carefully prepared, and sincerely sent it to the queen Hera.

With this beginning, the gods responded one after another, took out the gifts they had prepared, and expressed their blessings to Hera, the queen of heaven.

As the slave gods of Hera, the three goddesses of timing and rainbow played the role of receiving gifts.They dance around the guests like flowers and butterflies, and they will be full of gifts.The exquisite gift boxes piled up into a hill, making Hera's smile more real.

After the three sisters Hebe, Eletia, and Enyo gave birthday gifts, only Ares, the god of war, and Hephaestus, the god of forging who had been abandoned, did not offer gifts.The gods did not find Hephaestus, so they turned their attention to Ares.

Ares ignored the burning eyes of the gods, and impatiently joined the crowd, and waited for the gift givers to disperse, then picked up the heavy gift box and sent it to Hera.

In order to show her love for her parents and children, Hera, who had no expectation of Ares' gift, went to pick up the gift with her own hands, but because she miscalculated the weight of the gift box, she almost dropped the box.

Zeus helped out and found that the gift box was very heavy. He asked in a deep voice, "What did Ares give you?" Could it be some kind of weapon or armor?

Hera felt that the gift was definitely not good for Ares' taste, so she deliberately pretended not to hear it, sealed the thing up, and refused to look at it.The goddess of youth serving the wine, He Bo, hooked the gift box open with her fingers, and said with a smile, "Since Father God is curious, let's take a look together!"

I saw a soft light suddenly shining in the dark night, and that soft light illuminated the face of the queen Hera, making her extremely holy and gentle.She looked down at the contents of the box, and suddenly found that the gift from Ares turned out to be a huge pink pearl!

The gods were amazed, even Poseidon, the emperor of the sea, did not have such a huge and flawless pink pearl in his collection!

Some people discussed it below, thinking that this is all the credit of Adonis, the god of plants.The male god who only wanted to fight had become more tasteful after being with the plant god for a long time.

Some people are also wondering, obviously last time I saw the God of Plants holding the God of War!On such an important occasion, why didn't you see the little war god and the two father gods coming together?But it's fine if you don't come, otherwise, if there is a fight and the two evil gods fight together, the scene will be too tragic.

The discussions of the gods gradually digressed, but Hera only heard envy in her ears.She felt very long face.Thinking that this honor was given to her by Ares, the haughty goddess looked at Ares with a little more gentleness, and decided not to pursue him for stealing the golden apple.

The banquet venue was bustling with activity, and a Pegasus arrived late.The lame Hephaestus got out of the carriage, turned around and picked up a large object covered in flannelette.Forged all the year round, he has a good strength, and he easily walked into the venue with that big thing.

The goddess of youth, Hebe, tilted her head and asked loudly, "Hephaestus, is that a gift you prepared for the mother goddess?"

Hephaestus said in a deep voice, "Yes, this is my birthday present to Queen Hera."

Although it is always wrong for a son to call the mother goddess "Hera", the eyes of the gods are more attracted by the mysterious gift, especially the gods who have seen the brooch of the sea nymph Thetis , especially curious about what kind of treasure is under the flannelette.

——It's really exciting!
