[Greek mythology] The troubles of Adonis

To say that among the gods of Olympus, Zeus and Aphrodite are the only ones who will be most unhappy about Pluto's marriage.The former is based on dissatisfaction with the coveting of the plant gods and the increasingly detached and independent forces of the underworld. The latter cannot forget the humiliation and harm Adonis inflicted on her and her beloved son, but the unforgettable love is also mixed in, making this feeling Quite complicated.

In addition, Ares, who has always been loyal to her and obedient, has disappeared for a long time. Although she is not liked by her husband, although she still has no shortage of flatterers, there are only a handful of them who can compare with the God of War.Witnessing this predicament, the goddesses who are usually so oppressed by her brilliance cast gloating glances on her. She did not show any weakness on the surface, and her radiance seemed to be unaffected by it. With a little less confidence, she misses her clingy lover whom she despised in the past even more.

As for the other gods, they didn't have any feelings about the news. Most of them kept an attitude of nothing to do with themselves, and they were only a little curious about the appearance of the queen of the underworld who was slightly involved with the famous main gods.

Hermes and Apollo, who had suffered a big loss at their hands, were surprised, but felt a little jealous of the humble Empress, especially the sun god, who was comparable to Zeus in love. It is very clear that the difficulty of making an uncle who is as hard and cold as a rock and never lingering in beauty gives birth to obsession, not only giving meticulous protection, but also willingly sharing the supreme authority of the underworld with him, is comparable to being persecuted by the queen Hera and then getting her father It is much more difficult to become a cold star with an insignificant blessing from God as a consolation.

No, it should be said that the two are not comparable at all.

The more Apollo thought about it, the more right he couldn't help but look at Adonis differently, and the anger of being fooled and insulted last time subtly dissipated a lot.Although he was brave and eager to win, he had no resentment when he was defeated by the scheming beauty, but he could not be called appreciative.

Only those low-level fairies who are always vying for beauty in front of high-level gods are the ones who really feel joy and look forward to this banquet that invites Pluto and Queen Pluto.They are afraid to avoid the gloomy and cold underworld in the rumors. In the past, as long as the king of the underworld was present, they would rather give up the chance to shine, and behave like clay sculptures, lest they be taken away by the king unfortunately.Now that he has someone he likes and is extremely affectionate with the Empress of the Underworld, they can rest assured to show their most beautiful side in this happy pastime.

The gods have different ideas, but they made up their minds not to miss the opportunity. After all, there are limited precious tableware made of gold, and there are not many honorable ones who can be invited.When it came to the day of the banquet, Zeus, who was not very interested at first, saw that the fairies who were not very conspicuous in ordinary times were all radiant and beautiful after being carefully dressed. When the god of harmony and beauty also has the advantage of freshness, the mind is quickened.

Before the guests of Hades arrived, Zeus began to look for new prey at the gathering.And as his eyes kept turning around these hard-working nymphs, the complexion of Hera who was sitting by the side became more and more ugly. This scene fell into the eyes of Cupid who was idly playing with bows and arrows, and it became extra special. Interesting.

Since he loves the mother goddess Aphrodite so much that he is willing to maintain the appearance of a child, he naturally shares the same hatred with her, and regards Hera as a hideous enemy, especially when they have lost power recently, and the goddesses headed by the Queen of Heaven are trampling on them. There is no mercy in time.

He has always been vengeful, and although he didn't fight back on the spot because of the situation, he kept it firmly in his heart. At this time, he quietly took the silver arrow, with his flexible hands behind his back, and he didn't even need to aim at the place, just one shot. Shot the nymph in the lavender dress who was teasing Zeus.

The reason why he can offend so many gods who are not low in rank is that he knows who can be bullied, who must be kept at a distance, and who should use some small tricks to make the other party feel bad for revenge. The one miss was on the Empress of the Underworld.

He would not foolishly play tricks on the heavenly father, but tossing a little fairy was nothing, even if the incident happened, he could explain the prank as a small accident.

She didn't know that she had fallen into the trap of the little God of Love. As the silver arrow pierced her skin and divine power flowed into her body, her joy that was overflowing with her heart instantly turned into disgust. to go.

This unexpected cold and arrogant posture immediately aroused Zeus's interest, but he felt that she was a rare commodity.He stopped her obstinately, her weak strength could not resist him at all, so she could only turn her head impatiently, and the sweet words she heard became a great torture - when she woke up, she might regret it ——and Hera, who was staring at the movements of her husband who was chasing after her, gradually turned livid.

As the culprit of all this, Cupid pretended not to know, and only said to Aphrodite: "Mother, although you are in charge of love and beauty, it is still difficult to see through the cunning tricks of some women. When they are young and beautiful Deliberately playing tricks, wise and outstanding like the heavenly father, he is willing to give up respect for marriage for the short-lived happiness in bed." He pretended to sigh: "And the majestic family defender is busy bribing the man who holds the golden apple , hoping to get the most beautiful title as a vain consolation."

Aphrodite giggled when she heard the words, of course she knew that Hera could hear clearly: "Keep your voice down, my son, I'm worried that if you talk too much, the cuckoo with the scars uncovered will be embarrassed." He threw a pomegranate in his mouth full of resentment. Although a girdle decorated with amber is more noble than a corset made of ivy, it may only be melodious singing of birds that can impress a lover. The object of love is more obedient and obedient, and it is easier to be satisfied."

She happily stepped on Tianhou's wound again: "What's more, in the eyes of people who are deeply in love, even the grassy field that brings happiness is a big bed full of rose fragrance, buried in the soft white bed. In the chest, the dignity and inferiority seem insignificant, and the pathetic people can only choose to severely reprimand and block them jealously, which is just as pitiful, disgusting and annoying as the hooves of the farmland."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hera, who was furious when she heard it, was about to fight back, when the Pluto chariot, pulled by a majestic black horse, arrived just at this time.

In the eyes of the gods, Hades, the king of the underworld, was still dressed in black, and even when he attended the banquet, he was expressionless, not immersed in the sweetness of the newlyweds as he said in his mouth.Although he withdrew the divine power originating from death, his aura was still captivating. What frightened the lower-level gods was that all the flowers and green grasses that had been licked by the feet of his robes were all withered away without their vitality. Burnt yellow, dejectedly withered.

However, the speculation that there was a discord between Pluto and Pluto was quickly shattered by his gentle gesture of helping Pluto to come down, and logically embracing the waist of Pluto intimately with one arm. Walking into the venue, even the singers and dancers couldn't help slowing down, either they were aboveboard, or they looked at this pair of the most noble couples in the underworld in a vague way.

Not to mention the other low-level gods who saw the plant god for the first time and were so amazed by the beautiful appearance that they were speechless, and even Zeus, who tried his best to win the beauty who suddenly smiled at him, and secretly made up his mind before. Aphrodite, who was determined to stay away from him, forgot all about those vows, and her fascinated gaze stuck to him regardless, and couldn't move away no matter what.

He wore a black robe that was exactly the same as Hades's, which made his skin as shiny and lustrous as the freshly fallen snow, and the light pink on his cheeks was so beautiful that even the blooming flowers were ashamed of themselves. The knee-length dark green hair was casually draped, extremely smooth, with faint light like the stars at night flowing.

He has a slender figure, a straight waist, straight legs, a peaceful breath, and light steps like a butterfly leaping among flowers. Yes, when he walked side by side with the tall Pluto, he didn't look inferior at all.What is even more amazing is that the green spirit, who had just been stepped on by Hades and took its life away, regained its abundant source of life and bloomed with joy as long as it came into contact with his breath.His forehead is full, and his well-shaped lips are as soft as petals, and on both sides of the high bridge of the nose, a pair of black eyes contain the precipitation of night, but they have never been stained by turbidity, and there is no sense of aggression in their beauty. Turn to look forward to waves.

She still remembered that even when he was staring at him without any emotion, the cold and pure black color was enough to make her soft and tender, and she was extremely infatuated.

It's been a long time, but his spirit has improved.

When they sat down as if nothing had happened, Aphrodite gradually came back to her senses and withdrew her obsessed gaze, but the pain that filled her chest seemed to have been burned by the scorching sun.She thought very sadly that all the tenderness and sweetness she gave was abandoned by Adonis, the careful kiss was regarded as poisonous, and even a gentle hug was resisted in disgust.

Then why, Pluto, who has always been dismissive of love, has melted a heart made of iron and stone, and won the favor of the most beautiful in the world?The most beautiful man should be with the most beautiful woman, so that the miraculous and beautiful face can last forever through combination and reproduction, and this is worthy of the kindness that nature gave birth to him.

Adonis only thought that the sudden silence of the gods was an expression of their disapproval, but he didn't care. He just found the seat reserved for them and wanted to sit down, but Hades stopped him calmly.

He cast a questioning look: What's the matter?

I saw Hades sit down first, and then stretched out his arms to him generously——

Sit with him.

Adonis understood his expectant gesture, and with difficulty choked out a refusal: "This occasion..."

Seeing his reluctance, Hades withdrew his hand with regret, but stood up again, and said calmly, "Then it's you."

Adonis didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Then you should hug me."
