[Greek Mythology] Beside the Throne

At this moment, the sky is sunny and the breeze is calm, but Hera's appearance is more than a bolt from the blue to Leto.

"You! Why did you come here?!" Leto hugged the two children in her arms subconsciously. She looked at Hera with fear and resentment in her eyes.Hera wanted to give her the baby herself?it's out of the question!

Leto, who was sitting on the soft white gauze, moved back involuntarily, hoping to escape Hera's stern and cold eyes, but Hera's golden eyes never left her body.

Leto and Hera had also met each other.It was during the banquet where Zeus became the king of gods.As the god king's sister Hera attended the god banquet.Her beauty is as aggressive as a raging fire, and no one can ignore her existence in the dark night.Even Demeter, the Goddess of Agriculture, or Hestia, the God of Kitchen, standing beside Hera could not take away her brilliance.

This was the first time the gods saw Hera and her sisters.Before that, among the children of Cronus and Rhea, only the male gods Zeus and Poseidon were active among the gods of the God Realm, while Hades, who became Hades, left Olympus early. Went to the abyss hell that no one wants to approach.

The gods sat down one by one, and Hera sat not far from Zeus.Leto, who went to the banquet with his father, saw Zeus and Hera for the first time.At that time, Hera was not the queen of Zeus.

Facing Leto's resistance, Hera's expression was as indifferent as ice.

"Give it to me, Goddess, and don't make me say it a second time," Hera said to Leto.There was no question in her tone, it was an order.

Leto, who was a mother for the first time, tightly hugged little Apollo and little Artemis who looked at Hera with their eyes open.Everything is so strange in their eyes, and they are full of curiosity about it.

Perhaps because the gold jewels worn by Hera were too dazzling, the little Apollo, who had been watching Hera for a long time, took the initiative to attack Hera.This scene was beyond the expectation of the two goddesses present. Leto was astonished while Hera was puzzled.

Leto hurriedly held little Apollo's hand, but the child in his arms frowned faintly and made a babbling sound.When Leto was dissatisfied with the child's waywardness, Hera bent down and picked up the child who had been staring at her from Leto's arms.

Hera had never held a child before, and this strange action did not make little Apollo feel uncomfortable. He was not afraid of the cold golden eyes of the goddess. When he looked back at Hera, he suddenly showed a hearty smile and bent his head The look of the eyes is as warm as the sun.

Leto watched Hera's every move in horror, fearing that she might do something horrific to her child.However, what little Apollo did to Hera made her jaw drop in shock.

"This..." Leto pointed at Hera and her son in her arms, speechless.Little Artemis was pulling at his mother's clothes, and she seemed to want to go to Hera's place to be with his brother.

When Leto wanted to take back the child, Zeus appeared.He appeared with a divine light and came on the waves of the sea.The golden curly hair fell on both sides of his cheeks, which was affectionate; the white robe was elegant and unrestrained, his appearance was handsome, and his temperament was noble.This is why Leto fell in love with Zeus regardless of the existence of Hera, but she regrets it now.

For this lover who avoids seeing, Leto hates him even more than Hera who has been persecuting her.

"What are you here for?" Hera looked at Zeus, and she said what Leto wanted to say.This unfriendly tone made little Apollo in his arms look up at her.

Ignoring little Apollo's eyes, Hera raised her hand and gently stroked the top of his head to comfort him, but her eyes stayed on the god king in front of her.

"Don't look at me like this, Hera, we are husband and wife." Zeus said to Hera.He approached Hera in exchange for Hera's retreat.

Hera was refusing her approach.thought Zeus.

After hearing what Zeus said, Hera shook her head and smiled.The sea breeze blew on her face, blowing away a strand of hair that was stuck around her ear.

"If you really loved me, they wouldn't appear." Hera said, looking down at the ignorant little Apollo in her arms.

In the heart of Hera, the god of marriage, if two people are husband and wife, they must love each other.But she had doubts about her marriage.Does Zeus really love her?What was she to Zeus?

Looking back at Zeus' past wives.Metis, the first goddess of wisdom of the sea, was swallowed by Zeus because of Gaia's prophecy.The second goddess of justice, Themis, was married by Zeus to stabilize the Titans, and then broke up peacefully.The third goddess of memory, Mnemosyne...

What is the purpose of Zeus marrying himself?Hera didn't know, and didn't want to know.She felt that she was tired, for this marriage with Zeus.

Before, she was so angry that her reason was destroyed and she wanted to kill the child Leto gave birth to.But because little Apollo treated Hera kindly, the flame in the angry Queen's heart subsided, but only a pile of red ashes remained.Delivered the child to Zeus, despite the cries of the child in his arms.Hera left this small island transformed from a meteor goddess.

Zeus reached out his hand to speak to Hera, but facing Hera's leaving figure, he couldn't say anything when he reached his mouth, so he suddenly lowered his hand and dropped it by his side.

Do you want to let yourself chase the Hera who left?Zeus thought he couldn't do this.Just go, Hera can't go back to Olympus no matter how far she goes.Zeus, who has power, doesn't care what Hera thinks, he thinks himself as if he is a spoiled child.

Little Apollo was dissatisfied that he was struggling when he was handed over from Hera's hand to Zeus's arms, but this could no longer call Hera back.

"Zeus."

Zeus heard Leto calling him, and he turned and looked down at her, and then said: "Leto, you gave birth to the God of Light and the Goddess of the Hunt."

Leto didn't care what kind of godhead or priesthood her child was. Now she only hoped to be with her child without being persecuted by Hera, but Zeus was destined to destroy her expectations.

"The two of them will be the main gods on Mount Olympus, you know what that means." It means power and status.The position of the main god of Olympus is fixed. In addition to Zeus and Hera, the king of gods and the queen of heaven, there are also gods such as Poseidon, the emperor of the sea, and the kitchen god, the goddess of agriculture, who occupy the position of the main god.If her child can ascend to the throne of the Lord God, then more believers and priests will be enshrined and protected by the laws of this world.

"What do you want to say, God King." Leto, who once called Zeus's real name, is no longer the goddess who was dazzled by love.As a mother, she is now more sensible and strong for the sake of her children.

After hearing what Zeus said, Leto knew that he would definitely not let her child become the main god so simply, there must be conditions.

Zeus lowered his head to look at Leto, and found that her beautiful face had lost the immaturity of her childhood, and had more of the tenderness and firmness of motherhood.

Zeus was not amused by this discovery.For Zeus, Leto is just a landscape that he stopped to watch in his long life. No matter how beautiful and moving the scenery is, he will get tired of seeing too much. What's more, the encounter between him and Leto itself is not attraction but fate.

He said to Leto: "This child will be my eldest son, but his mother cannot be just a little starry night goddess."

Since you dislike my humble status, why should you be with me?Leto once again felt the cruelty of Zeus.How ironic is this from Zeus's sweet talk to her back then? !

Leto stared into Zeus's eyes. In her familiar light blue eyes, Leto couldn't see the original tenderness and love. The deep indifference made Leto feel as cold as if he was in a glacier.

The God of Thunder, who had wrested divine power from his father, seemed sentimental but was actually the most ruthless.

A bleak smile appeared on Leto's face, and she agreed to Zeus' request.As Zeus said, she is a little starry night goddess, even if she is unwilling to hand over the custody of the child, Zeus will use other means to make her submit.

The difference between male gods and goddesses is also the difference in status and power. At this moment, Leto had to separate from the child he gave birth to.

"it is good."

After getting Leto's reply, Zeus smiled with satisfaction.Under his power, no one dared to say no to him.

Zeus immediately took the little Apollo away, but he left the still-grown goddess of the hunt to Leto to be raised.I don't know if this is the momentary soft-heartedness of the God King or what.But for Leto, being able to leave a child under his knees to be raised is already a great gift.

With the departure of the Queen of Heaven, there is only Leto left on this small island floating on the vast sea, and the little Artemis in her arms.She pulled her mother's curly hair with her hands, not knowing Leto's sorrow.Leto hugged the only remaining daughter as if he hugged her whole world.

When Cronus, the god of time, overthrew his father, Uranus, the god of the sky, the heavenly father had cursed him and would also taste what he had experienced.Later, Zeus confirmed the curse of the heavenly father, and he seized the theocracy of Cronus.

Gaia predicted that the son of Metis would make Zeus repeat the same mistakes, so Zeus swallowed Metis so that the prophesied child could not appear.

Zeus was curious about the little God of Light wrapped in the sarong fragments.He is not a first-time father.He now has his eldest daughter, Athena, the goddess of wisdom.But Athena was born from his head and looked like an adult goddess when she was born. This made Zeus, who had never held a child, have some special feelings for this child.

The finger teased little Apollo's head, but he grabbed the finger and threw it aside.Zeus had never seen such domineering.After all, no one dares to act presumptuously in front of him who is the God King.Zeus was not angry but wanted to play tricks on Apollo, who was still a baby.

Little Apollo was anxious to bite Zeus with his toothless mouth, but Zeus who avoided the saliva did not make his wish.This made the little god of light who was born with pride very unhappy, and was so angry that he turned his head away from Zeus, the god who had been playing with him.

Seeing him like this made Zeus feel amused.This child is not treated like before because of his special status.There was also a bit of sincere love in my heart.

When Zeus returned to Mount Olympus with the child in his arms and wanted to give it to Hera to be raised, Hera refused.

"Give me the child of your cheating lover? Are you crazy or am I crazy?" Hera sat in front of the dressing table, with golden carvings dotted with a huge crystal mirror, reflecting Hera's exquisite beauty in the mirror. face.

"Don't you like him? You've hugged him before." Zeus suddenly didn't hear the malice in Hera's tone, and he said calmly, not forgetting to play with the soft yellow hair on Apollo's head.

Little Apollo saw Hera reaching out to her again and wanted to go to her, but the indifferent attitude of the goddess made the little God of Light who was ignored wronged.

The author has something to say:

First of all, thank you to the little angels who saw here~

Second, let me give you a timeline.

These are two lines, one is the normal Greek mythology line, and the other is the world line of the male god Hera.

The current position we are in is the normal Greek mythology line.Here will explain why this Zeus knew the male god Hera and why Apollo once fell in love with the male god Hera written by the author.

The author did not expect that this article was written so broadly by me. Not only the male god Hera and the space-time Zeus have to fill in the pits, but also the male god Hera and the serious Zeus Ken and the serious Greek mythology. The pits of Zeus and Hera, and Eros and Tartarus...

I feel that there is a long way to go, but the author will do his best to fill in the pit~ This article is not about the two gods, Hera and Zeus, and it involves a lot...

This is a group portrait novel!look up to the sky.

After that, I hope little angels can bookmark the author's column!The author will probably continue to code words~ Because of you watching, I have the hope of code words, and I feel that you are my motivation.

Finally, the author created a group, if you are interested, you can join it, and listen to the author's blind comparison in the group... This is 659836951.

The author, after this book is finished, I will write the original story, eh!Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution for me~
