[Greek Mythology] To bind a lover or not to break up

"He'll agree, as long as you say Hades won't be angry about it," said Hypnos. "It won't do us any harm, will it?"

Selene nodded, thinking about how to tell Helios about this.

Knowing that Hypnos had completed the task, Nyx came to Hades and planned to stay here for a while.

Presumably, given how much Demeter attaches importance to her daughter, they will see each other soon.

As soon as he got the news from Helios, Demeter went to Mount Olympus before he could confirm the authenticity.

"What's the matter, I found Persephone." Zeus really didn't pay much attention to that daughter.His two most favored daughters——Athena and Artemis are goddesses of wisdom and force. Their abilities are enough to help Zeus consolidate his own power. Like Persephone, she has always been favored by her. ignored.

But it looks like the kid has grown up to be quite beautiful.

Thinking lazily, in front of Demeter, Zeus still showed due attention.

For this daughter, Demeter was going crazy, and he wouldn't get himself into trouble because of it.When fighting the Titans, Demeter was one of the main forces in the battle.

"Did you know that Hades stole Persephone?" Demeter asked with a dark face, unable to see him like this.

"Who?" Zeus couldn't believe it, "Hades snatched Persephone, are you kidding me?"

"Of course I didn't." Demeter was furious, and said what she knew, "Persephone went out with Athena and Artemis, and it was only them when she came back, my Persephone Faune is missing, if you don't believe me, bring them back, let's confront each other."

Zeus was thoughtful and signaled Nymph to bring the two goddesses.Soon, Artemis and Athena appeared in the temple.

"Persephone is missing, you know." Zeus asked, "You are usually very good friends, can you provide some useful clues to Goddess Demeter?"

Athena bowed her head in thought.

She didn't believe that Zeus would ask such a question for no reason, so it was very possible that Zeus knew something.

At the beginning, she took a fancy to Persephone's simplicity and rebellion, and wanted to use her to enter the underworld.She even thought about how long it would take Persephone's character to get tired of it, and when the time came to tell Demeter about Persephone's traces, not only would Persephone thank her, but it would also be a gift to Demeter. court.

Unexpectedly, he was warned by Metis soon after.All her little actions were seen by Hades, and Nyx even controlled the life of Metis. From there, Athena knew that she had underestimated the gods of Hades and the primitive gods.

Even so, Athena did not give up her plan. She had already planned when to inform Persephone of her whereabouts, but now it seemed that Demeter had already known about it before him.

Feeling reconciled, Athena knew that she couldn't hide it anymore. At this time, it's better to admit her mistake, and it's not easy to make Demeter bear more grudges.

"Sorry, Father, we went out together, but I lost Persephone." Athena lowered her eyes, taking all the responsibility on herself, "I thought Persephone would come back soon , and also afraid of being punished, so I kept hiding it."

Demeter was filled with anger when she heard this, but Artemis was taken aback, but her affection for Athena increased a little.

In any case, today Athena took all the responsibility.It's just that she remembered that she had agreed with Athena not to tell the truth about Persephone's disappearance, but now Athena has gone back on her word.

At the right time, Demeter said angrily: "What I said, Persephone must have been taken away by Hades." The daughter had never left her side, and now she suddenly disappeared, how could Demeter not in a hurry.

The black light in his hand elongated and turned into a sickle, and the cold air on it seemed to be able to see the initial blood-stained appearance of the weapon.Demeter stared at Zeus and said coldly: "I must bring Persephone back, Zeus, you decide for yourself."

"What are you doing!" Zeus yelled, telling her to put down her weapon, "I will contact Hades for you, you know he wouldn't do such a thing if it wasn't for a necessary reason."

So far, he has not been able to conflict with Hades, and he must not let Demeter do bad things.

He called Hermes to come in, and ordered: "Send a message to the underworld, just say that the goddess Demeter is going there." The experience of taking away the Cyclops made him clear that he had to agree in advance to enter the underworld. .

Fortunately, Hermes was very fast, and he came back in a short while, telling Zeus that Hades agreed.

Zeus breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Demeter: "Okay, you go, talk it out, don't conflict." He was not afraid of Hades, but the primitive gods behind Hades.

Only then was Demeter satisfied, and left the temple with a cold snort.

After solving this problem, Zeus asked Athena and the others to leave. He wanted to talk to Hermes about the situation in Hades, but found that he was limping and looking very uncomfortable.

"What's the matter?" He was fine when he went there, but he was limping when he came back.If there is a problem with the leg, how should the news be delivered? Zeus does not want Hephaestus to have a lame child in the future, which will make the gods laugh.

"Hiss..." Seeing that he found out, Hermes didn't hide anymore, and complained, "I don't know what happened, there is a dog in front of the gate of Hades, it is so fierce, it bit my foot when it passed by If I don’t let go, Hypnos rescued me.”

It would not be impossible to break free with force, but who knows the identity of the dog, Hermes was afraid that he would accidentally kill the dog, and he would be the one to be unlucky if it was an expensive thing.

His background is not good, but Zeus is still satisfied with his ability, but this does not mean that the gods of Hades will give him this face.

It won't work if it goes on like this, he can't be bitten by the dog every time he goes there, if it doesn't work, he has to find a way to calm it down.

The words that Zeus wanted to say disappeared completely when he saw him baring his teeth. After waving his hand to signal him to leave, he began to think alone.

Hades' behavior this time is really not what he can do, and I don't know why he did it, but after this time, the relationship between Demeter and Hades is probably not very good, at least there is no need to worry about Demeter Ter helps Hades.

I just don't know what kind of situation Persephone is.

"Demeter is coming." Nyx reminded, Persephone immediately sat up straight and looked outside expectantly.

She really missed Demeter, and only when she left her mother's side did she realize how good he was.

Thinking about it, Demeter finally came.

Nix said casually: "Remember what I said, don't do unnecessary things."

Cold water was poured on Persephone's head, and her excited mood gradually calmed down.

How could she forget that she could go back without Demeter coming?

When Demeter came in, she was still taken aback when she saw Nyx and Erebus. She never thought that the matter of Persephone would involve the original god.

"Great God," saluted hurriedly at them, and Demeter immediately looked at her daughter.

Compared to when she left, Persephone is obviously much haggard now. The joy in her eyes when she saw her was not a lie, nor was the tiredness on her face.

It doesn't look like Persephone is having a good time here.

Demeter was very distressed. If there were no other gods present, she would definitely step forward and hug Persephone to comfort her.

"Since you're here, let's get down to business." Interrupting their gaze, Nyx said, "Hades had a premonition that the queen of the underworld was coming, so she placed a daffodil in front of the underworld, picked it The god who walks the narcissus is her queen."

Demeter frowned.She wanted to refute, after all, this method was too barbaric, without considering whether the goddess who was taken away was willing or not.

Seeing her thoughts, Nyx continued: "Of course, this does not mean that every goddess can do it. If she is not willing, Hypnos and Hades will send her back. It is a pity that Perse Fauni seems to like this identity very much, and I couldn't wait to eat the pomegranate when I first came here."

Looking sharply at Persephone, Demeter couldn't believe what she heard.

Hades has always been domineering, even the plants here.If you eat something from the underworld, you must become a god of the underworld.

But she had clearly warned Persephone, so she was afraid that she would encounter danger in this regard.

"Presumably you are also curious, why Persephone wants to eat it knowing the effect of the Pomegranate."

After hearing this, Persephone wanted to stop her, but the thought of Nyx's warning and the temptation to leave here forced her to keep her mouth shut.

Demeter's expression changed from shock to disbelief and then to paleness.

Nix nodded and said, "As you guessed, she wanted to avoid your control, so she came to Hades. She was afraid that we would send her away, so she secretly ate the Pomegranate."

From the beginning to the end, they didn't do anything except take her into the underworld, and everything was just Persephone's own doing.

"Is this true?" Demeter asked.In fact, Persephone had already raised her dissatisfaction in this regard, but she ignored them.She thought that what she gave her child was the best, but she didn't expect it to hurt her instead.

Every word Nix said made her feel unacceptable, but she had to face this reality.

The child she protected well was actually dissatisfied with her behavior.

Faith collapsed, and Demeter's bad look became even uglier.

The gods will not be in trouble because of this blow, Nyx continued: "Persephone ate the pomegranate of the underworld, logically speaking, she must stay in the underworld, just considering her own wishes and your good will." Work hard, these things can still be discussed.”

"But no matter what, she is the future Queen of Hades, and she should stay here for a while."

Things have turned around, Demeter nodded.No matter what Persephone thinks, she wants to leave here now, so Demeter must make her wish come true.
