[Greek Mythology] Beside the Throne

Zeus covered his tracks, and he returned to Olympus without a sound.He brought Hera back to the temple he had chosen to build on Mount Olympus.After the construction was completed, Hera never stayed here, not even a Nymph or an attendant.

Under the blue sky, the pomegranate flowers are in full swing and blooming brilliantly.

Lifting the thin bed curtain, Zeus put Hera on the bed.Then he stood by the bed and stared at Hera's face in deep thought.

He was thinking about how to deal with Hera, the god who had humiliated him several times.

Just like Hera, Zeus also hated Hera.

Hera's cold eyes clearly told him that his god position was obtained by despicable means, which annoyed Zeus very much.

Yes, it is.So what if he got the position of God King by means of shameless and despicable tricks?

Facts prove everything!

Now the king of gods is Zeus, not Hera, let alone Hades Poseidon!

I once saved Hera and gave him half of the divine power, that's how he treated himself.

Thinking of Hera and that damned dragon and Hades on the bottom of the sea, Yanyan laughed at her disgust and rejection of herself.

Zeus felt that everything he did was right.

I have to thank Gaia for getting the arrow of Eros, the god of love and desire.

Zeus remembered the love in Hera's eyes looking at him after the arrow was shot.It feels both new and wonderful.The feeling of making a god who loathes him fall in love with him is really great!

Among the gods, not many people know Hera. Hera is a god who is unwilling to go out of Hesperides to deal with others.Except for Hades and Poseidon, no one will be anxious because of Hera's disappearance.However, when they realize that Hera is missing, the world will definitely be turned upside down.

Zeus, who couldn't think about how to deal with Hera for a while, cast an enchantment outside the temple and left.

As he went, he thought of the goddess named Leto.

Leto saw everything he did in the woods, as long as she obediently learned the times and shut up, he wouldn't do anything to her, but if she didn't obey, then the end would be...

Zeus pursed his lips.

A little goddess, dealing with her is much easier than dealing with Hera.

Zeus narrowed his eyes that were extremely similar to his father Cronus.

The masters of the Temple of the Empress changed one after another.

From Metis at the beginning to Themis until now Eurynome.

Who can know who is the god who sat the longest in the temple of the gods?

I'm afraid even the goddess of fate doesn't know.

Nymph fairies presented fresh fruits and mellow wine to the queen as usual.

Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, became the lover of the god-king and gave birth to nine muses.They are in charge of literature and art and are proficient in music.

After Mnemosyne lost the protection of her brother Cronus, who was the king of gods, the gods who had been despised and insulted by her all attacked her to avenge her.After experiencing this very different life, she decided to seek refuge with an asylum.That is Zeus.

Mnemosyne, who had never helped Zeus or even insulted her mother Rhea, did not become the Queen of God as she wished, but her current status was enough to prevent her from being troubled by the previous gods.

Mnemosyne, who has already recognized her identity, stays in seclusion on Mount Olympus.The nine goddesses born have good relations with the three daughters of Eurynome and the three goddesses of Meihui, so they always stay by the queen's side.

Eurynome, wearing a hair crown and a soft woven robe, was lying on a bed, and Nymph rubbed her shoulders, while the Muse played music for her, and her daughter, the Three Graces, wore a flower-woven hair crown beside her. serve.

Once in the sea around the world, she never thought that one day she would be able to come to Olympus and become the supreme queen and be revered by the gods.

Eurynome closed her eyes and enjoyed all this.But her heart was uneasy like stepping on the clouds high in the sky, and the uneasiness lingered in her heart all the time.

Mount Olympus has clear springs, flowers everywhere, countless fruits, and a holy light that shines forever.But Eurynome misses more and more the Sea of ​​the World where she grew up, where her brothers and sisters and her father, god, and mother gods lived.

The yearning for my parents seems to be stronger than ever at this moment.A crystal tear was drawn from the goddess' eyes, but was wiped away with one hand.

The music stopped at some point, and Eurynome opened her eyes and saw her husband Zeus standing in front of her.

"Zeus."

"Well, what made you cry, my queen?" Zeus asked.As soon as he came in, he saw Eurynome weeping.How is this going?Did she not like the environment of Olympus or did some god offend her and make her sad?

Hearing Zeus' words, Eurynome bowed her head.

"I miss my father and mother who are far away in the ocean." The goddess bluntly stated the reason for her tears.

She loves Zeus and holds nothing back from him.

"Really? Then you can go back and see them, I allow you." Zeus held his wife's hand and said.

The purpose of going to Eurynome was to ease the relationship with the ocean god Poseidon, after all he killed Metis.

Gaia's prophecies are just too frightening.Thinking of Athena, the first goddess to become the main god among the four generations of gods, her birth is also enough to illustrate this point.Metis was able to give birth to gods more powerful than his father.

Zeus didn't want to sleep in the abyss hell like the heavenly father Uranus and Cronus.

Metis has known him since he was a child and has done his best to help him ascend to the position of God King. He will not forget that this friendship can involve the rule of theocracy, and no one can be an exception.

He will try his best to compensate Athena and even the current queen Eurynome because of Metis, but everything else is out of the question.

Zeus has always been a selfish god, he loves power, loves to be romantic, and uses the goddess to maintain the balance between himself and other forces, but no one can deny his status and his achievements.

He will be the greatest God King, there is no doubt about it.

"Still not..." Eurynome avoided Zeus's words.

She couldn't forget the disappointment in her parents' eyes when she left the Sea of ​​the World.

Neither Oceanos nor Tesis forced Eurynome to marry Zeus or even stopped them, but Eurynome, who fell in love with Zeus, insisted on marrying Zeus just like her previous sister Metis.

Now, Eurynome, who is far away from the sea and violated the wishes of his parents, has no face to go to the sea of ​​the world where he grew up to meet them.

unless……

Eurynome thought of the goddesses and fairies who were constantly staying in the Olympus Palace, and Zeus looked at her more and more impatiently.

Eurynome, who had been the queen of gods for hundreds of years, finally found at this moment that her love for Zeus had been exhausted by this long life.

Leave when you are not rejected by your husband, and go back to the beginning.

After thinking through all this, Eurynome shed tears again.

At this time, Zeus had already left.

After the Sea Emperor got married, another major event happened in the God Realm.

After Themis, the goddess of justice, broke up with the king of gods last time, the third queen of gods, Eurynome, also said goodbye to Zeus.

"It's no surprise at all." Poseidon said with his arms around his biological wife Amphitrite, the queen of the sea.Amphitrite leaned into her husband's arms in agreement.

Although she lost the position of the Queen of God, since it was decided by Eurynome, Amphitrite, as the younger sister, supported her.Zeus was instilled by Poseidon in all kinds of rumors that Olympus is Zeus' lover.Haihou had long felt that Zeus was not a qualified husband candidate.It is also worth celebrating that my sister can jump out of this fire pit.

Eurynome's departure made Zeus feel depressed, but it only lasted for a few days.Soon he became friends with the fairy nymphs of Olympus, had a good time, and indulged in sensuality.

For Zeus it was just one less wife, for the other goddesses of Olympus.

The place of God Empress is vacant, why don't you snatch it?

The goddesses who had been silent before came up one after another and resorted to various means to flatter Zeus.

Zeus was addicted to it but watched all this with cold eyes.He doesn't only know those in power who are drunk and lustful, on the contrary, his mind is extremely clear.

The next queen.Hehe, Zeus has to think about it.

Whoever can give him the most benefits, he is willing to give the seat to whoever sits.

In terms of seniority, Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory who was the brother and sister of the previous god king, should be the strongest contender for the position of queen, but Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, made Mnemosyne feel threatened.

Demeter and Mnemosyne have the same feelings, and they both consider each other to be their greatest rival.

The two goddesses can't help but compete with each other. Besides them, there are other goddesses and fairies.

Mount Olympus, which was originally considered peaceful, was secretly turbulent for the position of the next God Empress.

Zeus enjoyed it.

Zeus, who was tired of the goddess disputes, finally remembered that there was another person waiting for him to deal with.

The existence of the seal made it impossible for anyone except him to enter Hera's palace, nor to exit.Zeus thought his approach was foolproof, but suddenly remembered that Hera is the god who controls time and space, and this enchantment has no effect on him.

Thinking of this, Zeus rushed there immediately.

Fortunately, Hera did not leave.

Hera was sitting in the courtyard of the palace basking in the sun when Zeus arrived.

Zeus, who was used to seeing the goddess's face recently, was still amazed when he saw Hera.

Her long, silky hair was scattered and she looked extraordinarily dazzling when she was sprinkled with sunlight. Hera, who didn't wear any accessories and only wore a loose white robe, had an indescribable elegance.

He exudes a peaceful and leisurely atmosphere, so Zeus who came here couldn't help but calm down and feel the leisurely atmosphere under the bright sun.

Zeus hated Hera, but no matter how he was slandered, there was only one thing Zeus had to admit.

No one can compare Hera's beauty.

Even if Hera is always expressionless and silent, she looks like a second Hades.

But no matter how indifferent, it still attracts people to approach him.

Zeus approached Hera.

Hera, who felt the breath of the gods, turned her eyes away from the pomegranate flower and fell on Zeus.

Zeus did not see disgust in Hera's eyes, nor did he see the deep love he had for himself when he was shot by the arrow.

Could it be that the effect of Eros' golden arrow disappeared on Hera?Zeus doubted in his heart.

But when he walked up to Hera, Zeus understood.

The golden arrow didn't fail, it's just that the person who hit the arrow was too restrained.

The affection in Hera's eyes was not revealed, it was buried deep inside so that no one could see it.

Knowing this, Zeus was relieved.

He bent down so that his face was almost close to Hera's.

Zeus said: "How are you doing? My dear brother."

After finishing speaking, a pleasant smile appeared on his face.
