[Greek mythology] The troubles of Adonis

After the initial shock, Aphrodite already understood the reason why Hades would not be affected by the golden arrow, but was even more shocked by it.

If the heart is empty and does not refuse the beauties, it will be easily seduced; if it is already in love, even if it is still a budding young, the golden arrow is powerless to interfere with its sacred trajectory.

A shallow fascination can never cover a long-lasting love.

In any case—events were far out of her control.

Eros is by no means the first time to play a prank, but the price he paid this time is the heaviest - blood gushes out from the roughly torn muscles, causing large chunks of pure white clouds to be rendered into dazzling scarlet , Inlaid on the gray sky, like the cold tears falling from the cheeks of Hesperis, who is in charge of the sunset.

The arm that lost its vitality fell on the muddy ground, and the fingers covered with thin calluses were still twitching invisibly. The blood dripping on the ground contained the pure power belonging to the middle-level gods, and it gradually changed from soft to soft. Get stiff.

With the acquiescence of Adonis, the weeds, which were depressed because of being deprived of nutrients by the big trees beside them, no longer carefully tried it, but regarded it as the most delicious ration with peace of mind, and greedily sucked it.

"Ah... ah ah ah..."

The white bones of the severed arm were exposed, and Aphrodite's beautiful eyes, which were robbed of their brilliance by the dark clouds, stared at them for a moment, her chest throbbing with pain, It was as if someone had savagely gouged it a few times with a blunt silver table knife.

Aphrodite opened her mouth wide and wanted to scream loudly as she watched her beloved son, who had been in her arms since birth, enduring such severe pain, foaming at the mouth, and unconscious , but couldn't make any sound at all, and almost passed out together.

If you don't get what you want, you lose what you have.

She has never longed for the protection of her lover Ares' strong arms as deeply as at this moment, and she is proficient in the means of playing with love. For the first time, she broke her heart for the momentary recklessness.

The thing that made her even more heartbroken was still to come-the recovery of the divine body was extremely fast, even when Eros was unconscious, the wound caused by the brute force still started to regenerate a new arm .It's just that the ruthless tormentor turned a blind eye to her begging and the pale face of the little Cupid, and tried to repeat the same trick, tearing off the intact arm again alive!

"Hades!" Aphrodite cursed desperately, "Your hair is smeared with snake venom, which symbolizes a catastrophic tyrant, a madman who humiliates the temple, and a cruel heart who only knows how to enslave the weak." Murderer, the sneaky coldness that no one likes to see! You have committed a madness today, and wantonly harmed a weak child who had no intention of offending the king. This is not an honor, but a shame of bullying. Will be revenged by the despised victim at this time! The master of lightning fire will hold the scepter, let justice stand, smash your shield, and bring the hopeless master of the temple to taste the bitterness of defeat Lay sadly back to the tomb that is least loved by the light, where you are close, I will never be happy forever!"

No matter how hysterical she was yelling, Hades was not affected at all, and remained unmoved. He patiently waited for the restoration of the divine body, and then indifferently tore off Eros's newly grown body. Arm, he was awakened from the coma, and after screaming miserably, he passed out again.

"Justice?" Adonis originally just stood quietly behind Hades. After hearing the attack sentence against Hades, he recalled the plight of being cornered and had to throw himself into Hades, and he didn't intend to bear it any longer: "Where is the trace, where is the trace?"

He curled the corners of his lips mockingly, his divine power propped up his light body just right, more meticulous and thoughtful than the spring breeze who admired him, and sent him to the God of Beauty without haste.

The delicate tip of the nose met the delicate bridge of the nose dripping with sweat, and the clear black eyes met the blue eyes that were bloodshot from irritation and full of complex emotions.

Aphrodite bit her lip, stared at Pluto, who was staring at Eros' wound intently, with fear and resentment, and murmured, "Adonis."

This is the first time when calling him by his name, without the usual charming and sweetness.

But it wasn't because she no longer coveted it, but because she realized that Adonis now had a lot of weight in the heart of the cruel Pluto, and suddenly remembered an old event, and felt extremely guilty and fearful.

— but without guilt.

On Adonis' expressionless face, she couldn't see the slightest clue. She didn't know whether he had already learned about his life experience from Hades, and she didn't know whether rashly pleading for mercy would be futile.

At first, Aphrodite, who enjoyed the honor of beauty alone, was displeased that Mira was praised by her father as glamorous and unparalleled, so she used divine power to deceive Bu Bui's pure mind, making the princess obsessed with her biological father desperately. Tortured by injustice.The innocence was bitten by poisonous insects, the young sapling was entangled to death by the tyrannical vines, and the beauty was consumed by this unsatisfactory secret obsession, which made her weep in pain day and night.

When the family relationship worth maintaining finally could not escape the fate of being tainted by the golden arrow's temptation, the filial Eligone could not bear to close her eyes in the sky, so as not to witness a lingering relationship of corrupt quality.The furious king wanted to kill the hateful daughter who tempted him in a hurry, and Mira, who was pregnant with the son of sin, had to flee hastily.The long wanderings ruined her beauty, made her fluffy snow skin rougher than that of an old woman, and made the bark of a tree proud in front of her; it also wiped out her life ambition, she hated her obsession, and regretted the beginning She was also heartbroken for the lonely and uncertain future, digging out bloodstains on the ground.

She repented deeply, licked the dirty dirt on the ground, and begged for mercy.And a merciful god quietly turned the unfortunate girl into a myrrh tree to avoid her father's pursuit.

When the wrathful arrow of the found king shot the miserable myrrh tree to burst, Adonis, who was trapped in his belly, found a way out, and his ignorant birth also symbolized that the suffering mother got Liberation, the fragrance disappears and the jade dies.

——When all this happened, Aphrodite was floating carefree on a soft cloud, hugging the giggling Eros, snuggling in the arms of her considerate lover Ares, admiring This is a tragic disaster caused by her own hands.

Adonis only thought that her roving eyeballs were planning some tricks, and didn't take it too seriously. He restrained himself and closed his eyes. With a thought, the dark green divine power gathered at a speed that the eyes couldn't catch, and automatically The palm was struck out suddenly, and the anger also gushed out, turning into a thorn and firmly strangling the fragile throat of the Goddess of Beauty.

"How the ink that feeds dishonesty and shelters sin represents the dawn, and the judge who whispers to sinners will always deviate from justice. Even a deaf and dumb stone has a firmer quality than him."

In the eyes of the God of Beauty, the face is delicate and fair, as beautiful and flawless as a statue made of ivory, but the eyes seem to burn two clusters of black flames in the depths, shining brightly, pouring out the emotions that have been borne for a long time: Because he is the master of the sky, he is the sky that weeps frequently in humiliation, and weeps and sighs with the raindrops; The king of the gods of power should rule strictly, but wantonly plunders the sons and wives of men. If he happens to have the beauty that makes his heart beat, no matter how many sacrifices he pays, he cannot escape from his whim. This tyrannical tyranny makes the honor and disgrace of the human race easier to destroy than the tide."

Before Aphrodite could breathe a sigh of relief that he didn't know, she was stunned by the fierce words and the exposed rebelliousness.

Hades nodded slightly in satisfaction, listening patiently.

Although he was tired of verbose and redundant sentences, this rare and pertinent judgment on Zeus was also quite to his liking, so he was willing to tolerate this small flaw.

Besides...

Whether it's a person or a voice, he loves him far more than the shining black gemstone on the divine scepter.

"Your Highness," seeing Pluto's conniving attitude towards his loss of control, Adonis made up his mind, and simply didn't pause, his melodious voice was both gentle and cruel: "It's very common to boast, but the gods of Olympus The slightest display of arrogance and self-satisfaction among ordinary people, the intolerant gods regard it as a sin of audacity, and if it does not exist, it can be passed through a paradox teasing, a deliberate cajoling to pull out omens."

"The filthy oil falling into the flames will emit foul-smelling smoke at the same time as it ignites it. When the superiors who are not doing business and enjoying themselves find a grand excuse, the next moment they will set off a stormy sea and flood the hard-working farmland , pouring the evil poisonous mist into the heart, dusting down the flying birds that fly with their own strength, poisoning the flowers that are struggling to bloom until they are diseased and withered, and brazenly wearing the robbed beauty on their heads, so that they can become silver. Under the bright light, the self-willed vulgar soul adds luster and luster."

Aphrodite was startled at first, seeing that Adonis, who was always cautious, was so angry that even the god king scolded her, her face became paler and paler, and the more she listened, the more heartbroken she became.

"Oh my God, I've become a mortal enemy in your eyes!" Perhaps knowing that there was no room for change, she didn't scold him cruelly like before: "You should take responsibility for all this troubles me, but the golden arrow whose master is completely innocent—"

Her pleading came to an abrupt end, and the long speech had just begun, her mouth was opening and closing like a fish out of water, and she couldn't make any more sound.

Adonis was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways reflexively, only to see a pure black cloak dragging the ground, slowly flipping with the wind.

Hades put away the scepter nonchalantly.

"No objection."

Just be quiet and listen.
