[Greek Mythology] Beside the Throne

Apollo did not expect to meet Ganymedes again so soon.

Ganymedes was standing next to the god king in fancy clothes and holding a wine glass in his hand. He slightly bent down to offer it to Zeus, and the god king took it with a smile.

Ganymedes, who was working, didn't see Apollo who just came to the banquet. If he saw this "Master Phobos", he might have the same idea as Apollo.

Why are you here?

Apollo is the god of light in this world, and he deserves to be on Mount Olympus.The appearance of Ganymede is because of Zeus, the father of the gods.

Ganymede, who stayed in Olympus for a short period of time, made him feel that except for the palace on the holy mountain, which was much quieter than Troad, other qualities were similar.

There is no need to worry about eating and drinking here, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

Anyway, isn't it the same where no one bothers to make rice buckets?thought Ganymedes.

Be it Mount Olympus or Troiad.

As for what the God King said, he ignored it as wind.

Who knows what he's talking about?It's none of my business.If you can't leave, don't leave, anyway, you won't starve yourself.

Slightly slightly slightly, who is afraid of whom?

Ganymedes, with this idea in mind, received a decree from the God King from Nymph one day.

"Let me be the sommelier?"

"Well, it can be said that, but it is only for the God King." Ning Fu replied after thinking for a while.In fact, she herself didn't quite understand what the god king meant.He snatched the little prince from the world to the holy mountain but did nothing. After raising him for a few days, he was assigned another job like this.

Is this the unique taste of the god king towards his lover?Nymph thought.

Looking at Ganymedes' innocent and beautiful face, Ningfu decided to remind this little prince who had nothing to rely on except the god king in the holy mountain after thinking about it for a while.

"Your Highness, your future work will conflict with the position of the Queen of Heaven, the Goddess of Youth, Hebe." Ning Fu withdrew after finishing speaking.

The white gauze hanging on the ground in front of the window danced gently in the wind.

"Hebe?" Ganymedes pronounced the name, feeling a little familiar.

Perhaps he had seen this name in the history of the gods.

Ganymedes, who received the order of the god king, immediately took office and performed the work of cupbearer.

He first learned how to pour wine from the fairies in the holy mountain.

In the process of learning, the goddess Hebe, who also got the will of the god king and knew that she could not serve the father god, brought a group of fairy nymphs angrily to the temple where Ganymedes currently lived to ask for an explanation.

She didn't dare to provoke Zeus, but a mere mortal was fine.Thought Hebe, daughter of the Queen of the Fountain of Youth.

The fairy placed wine bottles of different styles and materials on the table and was about to start teaching Ganymedes when Hebe arrived.

"Are you the mortal brought back from the world by God the Father?" Hebe preemptively asked Ganymedes who was sitting with his back to the door.

Ganymedes looked back and saw a girl wearing a garland of flowers and a group of nymphs behind her.

It was the girl with the flowers who spoke.

Ganymedes nodded to her.

Who is this girl?What is the situation.Ganymedes had a headache.

Ever since crossing, I have had frequent headaches.

Ganymedes was troubled by this.

Hebe stopped on the spot and looked Ganymedes carefully up and down, and came to a conclusion that he was better-looking than the mortals whom the Father God favored before.

However!This is not an excuse for him to snatch his position as sommelier.

"Do you know who I am?" Heber recalled the noble and graceful demeanor of his mother goddess in his mind, but he acted like a spoiled girl.

"I don't know." Ganymedes shook his head seriously.

"You!" Looking at Ganymede's innocent face, Heber felt insulted, saying that he really didn't know his identity.

She was provoked by this mortal in front of her.

She is the majestic daughter of the king of gods, the jewel in the palm of the queen of heaven, how could anyone not know her identity?

"How do I know if you don't tell me, I just came here." Ganymedes added another sentence at this time.

The words "Are you right" were clearly written on Ganymede's face.

Taking a few deep breaths, Heber used this to calm his heart.

Well, it is.Hebe, a good girl who knows her mistakes and corrects them, explained her identity to Ganymedes and expressed her intention to come.

Hebe, the goddess of youth in Nymph's mouth?

Now it was Ganymedes' turn to observe her.

Well, a beautiful girl who is a bit squeamish but knows how to recognize her own mistakes.This was Ganymedes' first impression of her.

"I don't know either, this is the will of the god king and cannot be resisted." Ganymedes said with a shrug.

If it wasn't for this reason, there was no need for me to learn how to pour wine.Looking at the wine cups in front of him, he had the urge to flip the table.

"Can you imagine how annoying this job is, knowing so many wine glasses..." Ganymedes couldn't help complaining.

It's better to go back to Hyundai to repair the computer, alas...it's a failure.

"Is there?" Hebe walked to the table and bent down to pick up one of the golden goblets, talking about its reason and various matters to be paid attention to when pouring wine.After speaking, she picked up another one, and the goddess' voice was sweet and pleasant, and she narrated it to Ganymedes in detail.Said it was an interesting job.

"Understand?" Heber asked after explaining.

Ganymedes still shook his head.

"Okay." Hebe rested his hand on his forehead in frustration. She explained in such detail that this mortal still doesn't understand.

"I really don't know why Father God asked you to pour wine for him?" Hebe said angrily.

This time Ganymedes nodded in agreement.

He really doesn't want to do this job if he can.

Heber, who felt that he found nothing and found nothing in this door-to-door search, felt that it was meaningless, and dismissed the nymphs who followed her to make trouble.

This is when all the fairies left, including the one who poured wine for Ganymedes.

Sitting in front of Ganymede's table, Hebe said to him, "How did you meet my Father God?"

Heber was curious about the love history of his father, but he never had the chance to know the details.This time the target person was right in front of him, and Heber did not intend to let go of this opportunity to inquire about gossip.

"I said that I don't know myself, do you believe me, Your Highness?"

Just as Ganymedes expected, the expression on Hebe's face can be summed up in one sentence - "Don't fool me".

"It is true, Your Highness."

From the goddess' words, he could know that his current status in Olympus was the lover brought back from the world by the king of gods.

Ganymedes, who was the junior, remembered a famous saying.

I became a junior, I became a top student, there is no way to turn the page...

"The lover of the god king?"

Heber nodded.

"I've only seen God King once, do you believe it?"

After telling the goddess everything that I know.Ganymedes propped his face with his hands, he looked up at the blue sky outside the window, the sky was shining on his face, half bright and half sad.

"Is this true?" Heber still had a look of disbelief.After all, rumors of Olympus are already in full swing in the world.

"What kind of god king fell in love with the beautiful boy in the world and snatched him back to the holy mountain?" There are countless such words.

Seeing that Hebe still didn't believe it, Ganymedes raised his right hand and swore.

The oath in this era will be recognized by the law, and if you lie, retribution will be added to the person who made the oath.Apparently nothing happened to Ganymedes.

"Well, I believe you." Heber said disappointedly.

So God the Father simply took a fancy to this mortal's beauty and asked him to pour wine?

Hebe, who felt that he had realized the truth, looked at Ganymede and suddenly felt that the little prince in front of him was quite pitiful.

"To be honest, I sympathize with you." Heber said seriously.

Hearing this, Ganymedes, who seemed to have been hit knowingly, wanted to vomit blood on his back, but he could only smile and say, "Thank you, goddess."

Heber said it was okay.

"The banquet of the gods will be held soon, and you should learn how to serve wine quickly." Hebe said kindly, the kind goddess of youth, her heart is as clear and spotless as the spring water she controls.

"Okay." Ganymedes planned to call the nymph again and let her tell him how to pour the wine.

Heber interrupted him and said that he could teach him.

The ready-made wine sommelier is going to find Ningfu here, this mortal is really an idiot.

The beautiful goddess rolled her eyes silently in her heart.
