[Greek Mythology] Beside the Throne

Among the gods, apart from the many gods beside Apollo, the god of light, there were also many people who came to toast and talk next to Hermes.

In the center surrounded by the gods, Triton saw the angel wearing a helmet with wings.

Hermes also has a pure and innocent face, but unlike Hypnos, the god of sleep, his face is more intelligent and shrewd, and what may be flashing in his rolling eyes is a bad idea to play tricks on others.

He conversed with the gods skillfully, without any timidity.It has only been a hundred years since becoming a main god, which is really not easy.

It would be great if I could be like him.The prince of the sea realm thought a little discouraged.Although he is the biological son of the Queen of the Sea, he is the first heir to the throne of the Sea Emperor.However, Terry, who has neither inherited the powerful divine power nor outstanding talent of the father god Poseidon, sighed in unison.

Hypnos, the god of sleep, patted Triton on the shoulder to comfort him.

The son of the Neptune, who was not deeply in the world, felt that the gods of the underworld next to him were not as annoying as before.

I don't know that Hermes, who is envious of Triton, is dealing with one god after another. Although he still maintains a smile on his face, if someone familiar with him looks into his eyes, he will know that the envoy of the god king has already paid attention to this god. Tired of this kind of entertainment.

From the damp and gloomy caves of Cullene Mountain to Olympus, where the holy light blesses the seasons like spring, from the identity of being the illegitimate son of the god king without any priesthood to the position of the main god of Olympus.

The changes in the environment and status are very different, making him worry every day that he will lose everything he currently has.

Even in the eyes of others, he may be the most beloved son of God King Zeus, and he has properly shown his intelligent and proud side, but in fact, his inferiority complex has never been erased from his heart.Especially when seeing Apollo, the god of light, his half-brother.

Unlike his mother goddess Maia, even the priesthood was bestowed by Zeus.Leto, Apollo's mother, was born as one of the three goddesses of the night.

She gave birth to a pair of gods, Apollo, the god of light, and Artemis, the goddess of hunting, who were born with great divine power. As everyone expected, they successfully became the main gods of Olympus.Even though Hera has always hated them and regarded them as thorns in the flesh.

Hermes recovered from his own thoughts and found that Apollo was looking at him, and he smiled back with his white teeth.He is worthy of the name of Hermes, the kind and intelligent messenger of the gods.Apollo, who didn't mind that Hermes' reputation gradually surpassed his own, gave a toast.

The banquet reached the peak of joy at this time, and the muses, who had stopped for a while, decided to dance a dance with Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, to celebrate the feast held by the god-king.

Zeus agreed with a smile, and Ganymedes, who was standing beside him, felt his legs sore while holding the jug.

Everything in the world is easy from frugality to extravagance, but difficult from extravagance to frugality.

After being a prince in Troad for a period of time, he seemed to be unable to endure hardship.Ganymedes thought sarcastically.

The music sounded, and the eyes of all the gods were attracted by the dancing posture of the goddess in the temple. Zeus said to Ganymedes: "If you feel tired, you can put down what you are holding and sit next to me."

"No, no, there is no need for the God King." Ganymedes repeatedly declined.He didn't want any new news to come out tomorrow.

"I think I should abide by my duties and serve you." Trying to defend himself, he didn't want Zeus, the boss, to feel that he was a person who didn't know what to do, but he also didn't want to lose his tongue again and become the center of discussion .

"It's up to you." Zeus didn't care about him anymore, and Ganymedes on the side breathed a sigh of relief.

"The king of gods doted on the beautiful boy without even caring about his face, just let him be by his side!" If the words spread again, he felt that his wish to die would be even more out of reach.

Ganymedes did not forget what kind of character Hera was described in the history of gods he had read.

But it is also strange, why did not see the Queen of Heaven in this grand gathering of the gods.

The golden god next to the king's seat was empty, and it was grandly announcing that his master did not come to the banquet.

"What are you thinking?"

Ganymedes was so dazed that he didn't realize that the person who asked him was Zeus. He asked his question directly, which shocked the nymphs who were waiting on him.

"Why is Hera not here?" This is a question that the gods of Olympus have been unable to say for a hundred years.

No one went back to touch the bad head of the king of gods, and wantonly spied on the family affairs of the king of gods.

The smile on Zeus's face didn't lessen after hearing Ganymedes' question, but he didn't answer his question either.

Ganymedes had no time to repent until he had recovered his senses.But he was glad to see that Zeus didn't look angry.

The nymphs beside him felt the same way.

Sure enough, he is the beloved boy of the God King, otherwise, why would he not be punished because of his concern for his existence?

No matter how hard Ganymedes tries to reduce the generation of gossip, it is inevitable that gossip will be produced as long as it exists.

After the banquet, all the gods went home.

Triton, the son of the Neptune, and Hypnos, the god of sleep, accepted the invitation of Zeus, the king of gods, to stay in Olympus for a few days. Other than that, only the resident god Apo, the god of light, remained in Olympus. Luo God envoy Hermes and so on.

Ganymedes, who had been standing for nearly a day, felt sore all over his body. At this moment, he wished to go back to his palace and lie down on the big bed to have a good sleep to relieve his fatigue.

Before he had time to walk towards his palace, Hebe, the goddess of youth, grabbed Ganymede's sleeve and said, "Your performance today was not as bad as I imagined."

"Thank you, goddess, for your praise. I feel great admiration for your actions today, just like the endless river..."

I just stood beside Zeus and poured wine, but the girl god in front of me was dancing like a butterfly and offering extremely mellow wine to the gods for a whole day!

What kind of perseverance and spirit this is, Ganymedes admired and felt very ashamed that he felt tired just standing.

"Aren't you tired after such a day?" Ganymedes asked.

"No, I'm a god." The answer to him was this sentence and the girl's charming smile as bright as a silver bell.

Ganymedes regretted it. He should have agreed when Zeus asked him if he wanted to drink.

"Hee hee." The lively goddess was very amused to see Ganymedes deflated.

"Come and follow me, go to the Pool of Youth and soak for a while, and you will feel tired and tired." Hebe ignored Ganymedes' refusal and dragged him to the Pool of Youth.

The goddess Hebe, who is carefully cared for by the queen, has a different innocence from the Greek gods.

Her eyes are like the eyes of a baby just opened, pure and innocent.

Ganymedes, who was dragged by Hebe to run in Olympus, brushed past his ears the cool summer night wind, and he looked up at the night sky in the gap.

The dark sky is full of stars, bright and bright.

"The sky tonight is under the control of His Royal Highness Astria." Heber stopped and said aside.

Asteria, Leto's younger sister, goddess of the starry night.

I don't know why He Bo, who is the daughter of the Queen of Heaven, should hate this father's nominal "lover", but she can't.

Hebe likes the young man in front of him, not because of her fledgling love, but because Ganymedes has a special temperament that attracts her, making her unable to hate him.

"Let's walk slowly, it's not far away." Hebe took Ganymedes' hand and walked on a path full of purple irises.

Ganymedes, who was held by the soft and delicate hand of the goddess, had no thoughts in his heart, and let Hebe take a walk together holding hands.

If you look at the backs of the two, holding hands with each other, they really look like couples in love.

Zeus covered his breath and leaned on the cover of the trees to watch the two go to the fountain of youth.Standing next to him is the messenger Hermes.

"God King..." Hermes wanted to say something but was interrupted by Zeus raising his hand.

"Let's go." Maybe he knew the question in Hermes' mind, but Zeus was too lazy to explain.

Hermes glanced at the two leaving again, and left with Zeus.
