[Greek Mythology] Beside the Throne

Chapter 51 The Divinity of Hera

Little Apollo looked at Hera with his wet eyes, but Hera's eyes were not on him.

"Zeus, what do you think of me?" Hera stood up and looked at Zeus and said.

When Hera saw Zeus for the first time, before she had time to take a closer look at his younger brother's appearance, Zeus grabbed him and knocked him to the ground.She felt angry at the time, but when she saw Zeus vomit blood because she blocked Cronus' blow behind her, she lost her mind for a moment.

After that she never saw Zeus again.As a goddess, she was arranged by Zeus to go to the sea around the world and recognized the ocean god Oceanus and the sea goddess Tesis as adoptive parents. After staying there for hundreds of years, when she came to Oregon again At the time of Lympus, the god king here had become her younger brother Zeus, the god of thunder.

Hades and Poseidon, who grew up together in that dark place, one went to hell to be the king of Hades and the other went to the sea to be the king of the sea. Even the eldest sister Hestia and the second sister Demeter have their own lives on the earth. own temple.When Hera was hesitating about her whereabouts, Zeus, who became the king of gods, extended an olive branch to her and invited her to live in Mount Olympus.

This time when she came to Mount Olympus, Hera brought a gift from the Ocean God couple to the wedding of Zeus and Metis.

The Ocean God couple far away in the sea around the world did not agree with the marriage of their daughter Metis to Zeus, but Metis insisted on going his own way. As parents, Oceanos and Tesis could only follow Metis' wishes. .But they didn't want to leave the sea and come to Shenshan to witness their wedding.So Hera, who had a double relationship with the couple, came here.

After that, she never went back.

"Hera, you are my queen, there is no doubt about it." Zeus said.He knew why Hera would say such a thing.It might be for Leto or some other woman.But is it necessary for Hera to argue with him every time for them?He didn't make them queens.

Hera, who was looked at by Zeus with incomprehensible eyes, took a deep breath. At this time, the sharp cry of the little Apollo in Zeus' arms attracted the eyes of the two gods.The little God of Light, who had been neglected for a long time, was furious.

Zeus, who felt that the crying child was annoying, frowned and handed him over to Hera. Regardless of Hera's objection, Zeus let go of the little Apollo and left without giving Hera a chance to regret it.

When Aerys returned to the Queen's temple and saw that there was an extra child, she dropped the fruit basket in her hand in shock.In the basket were red pomegranates that she and Ningfu went to pick in the orchard.Those plump pomegranates fell from the basket and rolled on the ground one by one, and one even rolled to Hera's feet.

When Zeus put him in Hera's hands and stopped crying, the little Apollo looked at the pomegranate on the ground and wanted to play, Hera sighed.

What should she do with this child?

The prophecy that Leto would give birth to the God of Light spread throughout the world with the oracle of the goddess of fate.Even if Zeus took away the little Apollo and handed it over to Hera to raise him, the mother of the God of Light written in the godbook can only be Leto.But Hera didn't mind and she didn't even want to have the child at all.

Both Apollo and Artemis symbolize a piece of evidence that Zeus betrayed his marriage to Hera.Their existence is equal to the stain of Hera, the goddess of marriage.Since it is a bad thing, how can Hera like it?

Although he didn't kill them on the original island, but Zeus let her raise children?There's nothing to talk about.

Handing over the God of Light to Nymph, Apollo, who was taken care of by the fairy, still couldn't forget Hera. He always wanted to rub against Hera's side. Finally, Hera couldn't bear it anymore and left the Temple of Queen of Heaven and went to hell.

The manjusawa here are in full bloom as if they will never wither, embellishing the gray sky of hell with their blood-like colors and the water of the river Styx with an invisible bottom.

Hades knew Hera was coming when Hera stepped into Hades.At this time, the two brothers and sisters, who had not seen each other for a long time, stood on the bank of the Styx River and said this.

"Long time no see, Hades." Hera, who has the best relationship with her eldest brother Hades, wanted to say countless things to Hades, but it turned into the most common greeting when it came to her mouth.

Pluto blinked his emerald green eyes, the clear color was like the top emerald buried deep in the ground.

"It's been a long time," Hades said.Hundreds of years had passed since he had last seen Hera on Mount Olympus.

Having not seen each other for too long made the atmosphere between Hera and Hades strange. Feeling this, Hera's mouth revealed a bit of distressed expression mixed with some worry.

At the beginning, Hades told her not to marry Zeus, but she stubbornly refuted Hades and left angrily. After that, she and Hades saw each other again today.

"Hades..." Hera was thinking about how to speak, but Hades interrupted her when she was about to speak.

"Hera, let's go, let's go to my palace and sit down."

"it is good."

Hera accepted Hades' invitation, and they walked out of the sea of ​​flowers symbolizing despair and came to the temple of Hades.Simple and low-key layout, but rare treasures are everywhere.Hades deserves to be the god of underground wealth!

Sitting on the chair, Hera saw the pomegranate on the silver plate on the black spar coffee table.

"This is?" Hera pointed to the pomegranate and said.She remembered that there was no such fruit in the underworld when she came last time.

"The golden pomegranate you gave to Poseidon and Amphitrite before, Poseidon gave me a plant, and I planted it in Hades. It may be affected by the environment here, and it became a ghost pomegranate."

Ming pomegranate tastes the same as ordinary pomegranate, but it has a strange effect.People or gods who eat ghost pomegranates cannot leave hell. The time limit is determined by the amount eaten.

"I see." Hera said with lowered eyes.

"This is a good tool to allow the gods outside the Hades to stay and work in the Hades." Hades showed a rare smile that was as clear and meaningful as the clouds breaking through the moon.

Over the years, he has deceived many gods and let them stay in the underworld to work hard.

"Hera, tell me, what happened?" Hades said.Seeing Hera's silent appearance, he probably knew what happened.Although he doesn't care too much about outside things in hell, he doesn't miss any of the things he should know.

"Is it Zeus?" Hades had heard a lot of good things about Zeus even in Hades, and he would think of Hera every time.

"I..." I was facing Hades. After Hera told her about Zeus, Hades' expression became a little dignified.

"You still want to kill the God of Light?" Hades was a little shocked when he learned that Hera wanted to kill Leto and Apollo.He didn't expect Hera to be so paranoid because of Zeus.Fortunately, she didn't do anything, otherwise the god-killing gods would have been spurned and expelled by the gods earlier, and Hera would have no place to stay in this world.

"Yes." Hera admitted.For her current appearance, Hera wanted to control but couldn't persuade herself not to do things that hurt others.

When she saw Leto's son Apollo, how many times did Hera reach out and strangle him.Hera couldn't remember, so she ran to Hades.

"Hades, everything Zeus has done is challenging my bottom line. I am the god of marriage and I cannot violate my divinity..." Hera grabbed Hades' black robe like a man who fell into the water. Live on driftwood floating on the river bank.She wished Hades would tell her what to do.

Her vocation is the patron saint of marriage and family.She cannot tolerate anything that destroys the marriage, and what Zeus does touches the minefield of Hera's divinity.Her divinity manipulated her to the point where she was paranoid that in order to keep her marriage perfect, she could only hate and obliterate those who caused the rift in her marriage.

But this is the wrong approach, and Hera's kindness tells her not to do it.The divinity suppressed by her reason finally broke out when she learned that Leto was going to give birth to Zeus' child.

Seeing that she was about to kill Apollo's hands, Hera threw herself on Hades' lap and wept. Hades bowed her head and stroked her sister's hair.

The crown of the Queen of God was placed in Olympus by Hera. She came alone in a red dress without a trace of what Zeus gave her. She was as clean as the goddess of marriage who came out of the sea around the world.

At that time, Hera was proud and noble, and the beautiful she was the object of admiration of almost all male gods in the God Realm.But no one thought that she would marry her brother Zeus, the king of gods who had already married several wives.

"Hades, what should I do?" Hera asked him with a crying voice.At this moment, Hera seemed to become the little goddess who pulled Hades' sleeves in Kronos' stomach and asked when they could go out.

"Everything will work out," Hades said softly.His soft and deep voice fell into Hera's ears, which actually calmed down the turmoil in Hera's heart, giving her incomparable peace of mind.

In the dim temple, lights were already lit on the branch lamps made of gold, illuminating the entire hall.

Sitting on the throne, the goddess was still surrounded by the two terrifying giant pythons. Gaia looked at the coming god with some doubts and asked, "Pluto, what are you doing here?"

Among the three male gods born of Cronus and Rhea, Gaia is most optimistic about Hades, but in the end it was Zeus who sat on the king of gods, which made Gaia sigh in his heart.

"Your Highness Gaia, I'm here to ask you a question." Hades said to Gaia, facing her.A little bit of candlelight was reflected in those blue eyes.

"Oh?" Hades' words couldn't help but make Gaia even more curious.

"What do you want to ask me?"

"As the oldest god, Your Highness must know some way to suppress the divinity?" Hades looked at her, his long-stern face looked cold and ruthless.

"Why do you want to know this? Could it be for Hera?" Hearing Hades' words, Gaia instantly understood who Pluto came for this time.

"Since Your Highness knows, I don't need to say anything more. Can Your Highness tell me how to suppress divinity?"

Gaia turned her bright eyes and said, "It's not impossible to tell you, but you have to agree to one condition."

"What is it?" Hades asked.

"It's very simple." The goddess smiled sweetly, her eyes full of charm.

Hades didn't know what Gaia's conditions would be waiting for him.
