[Greek mythology] Siren

In human legends from ancient times to the present, the most powerful and greatest gods in the world once lived on a high mountain, and that high mountain was suddenly elevated in a thunderstorm and went to a place that humans could not reach.

Later, mankind was hit by a terrible flood, and almost all the people on the earth died, only one man and one woman were left alive. Legend has it that they received instructions from the gods and created new human beings out of stones.

Of course, these are just legends, because in the early years of the human world, there was no literacy and no things to record stories. It has always been passed down from the elders to the younger generations, or recorded with abstract pictures. After many years, The story has long been exaggerated and evolved to the point where the gods themselves can't figure it out, but as time goes by, the human's respect for the gods has become more and more profound.

In that catastrophe that fell from the sky, human reproduction entered a trough, and reproduction and civilization were interrupted for a while. After the birth of new human beings, the evolution of these civilizations turned in a different direction.

After so many years, the development of human beings has been much faster. Big and small countries are constantly popping up. From the previous three days of fighting at two ends, it is now a lot more peaceful. In recent years, many countries have appeared writing, and there have also appeared The carrier of writing, such as cloth, such as rough paper.

What changes simultaneously with the development of human beings is the world on Mount Olympus, which humans cannot reach.

Many years ago, because of a war, Olympus suddenly became deserted, but now new gods are constantly being born, some are born due to natural changes, and some are born of goddesses.

Olympus became very lively for a while, but fairies and elves were no longer seen here. Since Zeus, the king of the gods, set up a barrier near Olympus, basically no other races could enter except gods. Here it is.

Olympus has actually suffered other attacks over the years, but under the leadership of Zeus, no one can move Olympus' crooked brains.

Many new gods have been born in Olympus over the years, and the natural laws that have changed due to the disappearance of the Titans are quickly controlled by the new gods, and the turmoil of the earth and the gods is over in less than ten years.

After Zeus was firmly seated on the throne of Olympus, Gaia had returned to Olympus several times. Although Gaia had no good feelings towards Zeus before, when facing her, Zeus had never uttered a word or humbled her. There is no contempt for arrogance.

Gaia is different to the gods after all.

It's just that Gaia still didn't stay in Olympus for Zeus's sincere invitation: "When Uranus was here, I was always on the earth." She said lightly, unable to hear how enthusiastic she was. , but fortunately there was no cold feeling, "I hope the curse overthrown by my son can end on you." She looked at Zeus, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just shook her head and left.

This sentence left a deep impression on Zeus, as well as a faint panic.

In the past, his father swallowed his child because he was afraid of being overthrown by his own child, but in the end Uranus' "prophecy" came true, and eventually lost most of his divine power, and now he wanders on the earth and basically disappears.

He doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of his father Cronus, but at the same time he also knows that if he wants to avoid such a fate, it is not enough to eat his own child like Cronus.

Zeus tossed about this for several days, until one day, his wife said that she was pregnant, and she could feel the powerful force of the fetus.

He pointed to his wife's belly and said: "This will be a powerful god who can replace me, and I will never have a child stronger than him." He swallowed his wife into his stomach.

Later, his head hurt so badly that he asked Prometheus to split his head.

However, the moment the head was split, a child jumped out, and the moment it landed, it grew into an adult.

That is indeed an extremely powerful god. After its birth and landing, the whole Olympus was shaken, and the sky was thundered, and it fell directly under the temple and fell into the child's hands, turning into a weapon that was extremely similar to Zeus's. A similar spear holds a shield in the other hand.

It was the power that Zeus was so frightened. All the gods staying in Olympus thought it was Zeus who was angry. It was not until the golden rain fell from the sky that they realized that this power did not belong to Zeus.

This is indeed a god that can replace Zeus. He will become an adult when he lands, and the world will be changed by it. He is also extremely intelligent. Even Zeus cannot kill him in an instant after he lands.

It's a pity that this is a goddess with golden curly hair and bright eyes. She is dignified and beautiful, and she is powerful without anger, which amazes the gods. She stands at the top of the gods with her extremely powerful strength since she was born. The most powerful of all newborn deities.

And Zeus's "prophecy" came true. Since Athena, all his children have not been strong enough to overthrow him. Some children can only stay on the earth and cannot come to Olympus, because those A child born to a human woman does not have a godhead. Although she has impressive strength, she cannot ascend to Olympus.

Since Metis, Zeus has been with four goddesses successively, but none of the goddesses is as gentle as Zeus treated Metis. It is rumored that Metis still stays in Zeus's body to advise him , and because she loves Zeus too much, she doesn't like Zeus' contact with other women.

After Zeus was with the last four wives, no one could get the treatment that Metis received. Even his sister Demeter left Zeus' palace after giving birth to her daughter Persephone. He took his daughter to play in the grasslands and mountain streams of the earth, and rarely returned to Olympus.

Compared with the bustling Olympus, the ocean where Zeus' brother Poseidon lives has not changed much, but because of the change of Poseidon, more gods appeared in the ocean, not just sea nymphs and The sea monsters, the gods who live in the sea, because of their frequent contact with humans, have a little liking for the human way of life, and even consciously study and feel the changes in human life.

Compared with Zeus already having five wives, Poseidon's palace does not have any goddesses. It's just that he fell in love with a sea nymph at first sight some time ago, and surrounded her passionately for a long time, and she finally agreed to marry him. .

Excited, Poseidon invited his sister and brothers to visit the ocean. Olympus responded quickly, and Zeus and his three sisters said they would definitely come.

But his brother did not reply.

"The underworld always responds later, so you don't need to worry too much." His subordinate persuaded, "Even if the king of the underworld is too lazy to move, His Royal Highness the queen of the underworld will persuade him."

Speaking of Poseidon's elder brother, one has to talk about the underworld, which both humans and gods can't avoid. Compared with the ever-changing earth, the bustling Olympus, and the occasionally changing seabed, this underworld is a hundred years old. Nothing changed day by day.

Many years ago, after the end of the Titan War, Pluto returned to the underworld and threw all the Titans into the abyss. Tartarus, who lived in the underworld, disappeared in the abyss and never appeared again. Charon is still in the abyss. The goddess Nyx occasionally appeared at the riverside on a boat, but then disappeared. After that, the underworld became silent, and there was basically no change from day to day except for the noise of the dead.

On the other hand, the palace that appeared out of nowhere was only Pluto and Queen Hades at the beginning, and then there were more gods, such as the god of death, such as the god of sleep, and some were originally human beings who were brought into the palace by Hades after death. , and stayed in the underworld.

As early as hundreds of years ago, the underworld hadn't changed much. Except for the occasional need to repair the gaps caused by the friction between the underworld and the earth, Hades was actually very leisurely.

But even though he is very leisurely, he basically turned a blind eye to the occasional invitations from the two younger brothers. If it wasn't for Savis who beat him from the side, he wouldn't even bother to reply. It seems that his brother's life is not good, because for so many years, he not only "has no wife", but also has no children.

But because he had Xavius ​​by his side, neither Poseidon nor Zeus dared to mock him - Poseidon was afraid of being repaired by Xavius, and Zeus was afraid of being repaired by the three sisters.

Poseidon guessed right, the message he sent to the underworld was put aside by Hades as usual, and he ignored it.

However, although Hades seldom paid attention to the invitations of his two younger brothers, he was very keen to invite his two younger brothers to the underworld as guests, but most of the gods had a shadow on this place, and basically they could not come, so He hadn't seen his two younger brothers for a long time. If he hadn't had a good memory, he would probably have forgotten what they looked like.

"I just met Thanatos, and he said that you let him hang out for a while." Savis walked in from the door with a helpless smile, "What's the matter?" He picked up Hardy casually Si threw the paper aside, "Huh? Poseidon invited us to visit the ocean. He is going to marry Amphitrite. He has been around this sea nymph for so long, and she finally nodded?"

Hades pulled him into his arms and took the paper from his hand: "En."

"Aren't you planning to go?" Savis asked amusedly.

"Want to go?" Hades, who knew Xavius ​​well, raised his eyebrows slightly. He only needed to look at Xavius's expression to know his plan.

"It's been a long time since I went to the sea, come with me." He rubbed Hades' cheek.

After so many years, Savis, who used to be only able to maintain his youthful appearance, has long since "grown up", and now he looks like a beautiful young man. When making these intimate actions with Hades, he is less sentimental and more sympathetic. A maturity that fascinates Hades.

He kissed Savis' lips, and replied softly: "Okay."
