[Greek mythology] The troubles of Adonis

Adonis always believed that the source of Pluto's inexhaustible energy is really a question worth exploring.

The traces of love have not yet faded from the skin, and new ones come one after another, as if successive snowflakes are happily covering the snow-capped ground, and like a proud and taciturn waterfall washing the smooth boulders as always.

I don't know how long he had been in his sleep, but he was finally awakened by Pluto kissing his fingertips restlessly, not giving him any chance to attack, while Pluto praised the white and soft wrist with cold lips, while Gently put on the robe for him who was still confused, and finally kissed him on the cheek with satisfaction: "Take you somewhere."

His whole body was still indescribably sore and tired, and Adonis was really worried whether he had a whimsy that overwhelmed him again, so he hurriedly grabbed the hand that started to wander around and asked, "Where are you going?"

It's just that Hades, who has always been responsive to him, refused to reveal a word this time.

Facing his rare and naive obsession, Adonis was not in the least annoyed, but felt vaguely expectant and interesting.When the wide wheels of the black carriage stopped rolling, the silent servants pulling the carriage just stood there and trampled on the soul of the babbler sealed inside. The tall Pluto in black robes thoughtfully stretched out his hand to support him, and led him to stand on the ground. On this paradise filled with gray mist, the plant god stared blankly ahead, losing the power of words for a moment.

Pygmalion, a Cypriot, disdained to fall in love with those women who were punished for disrespecting the god of love and beauty and became shameless prostitutes, so he carved a beautiful girl with pure ivory.He fell in love with her, gave her jewelry as a gift, and shared her bed with excitement.If touching her delicate body would feel warm, and sleeping on her side could feel light breathing, what a harmonious and perfect pair of lovers they would be in the eyes of others.He was deeply involved in it and couldn't extricate himself, but also worried that this relationship would be shameful and ridiculous in the eyes of everyone.On the festival dedicated to Aphrodite, he originally wanted to pour out this unspeakable wish, but after all, he couldn't resist the fear of other people's eyes, and instead made a devout sacrifice to beg for a loving wife. room.He happened to be heard by the gods he believed in, and the god of love was not deceived by the appearance of his words, but generously let the ivory dummy with his heart tied on it have a soul and flesh, which really fulfilled the love between the two. Happy couple.

Freedom does not imply true mercy, just as the goddess's momentary kindness does not extend to her favored children.The son of Pygmalion and his hard-won wife was Ganyras, who later became the king of Pankea. He had a beautiful daughter, Mirla.Although he built a temple for worship, he was not as reverent of the gods as his parents were, and he thought that his daughter's peerless appearance was enough to match any young talent in the world. dissatisfied.She was determined to deal with this pretentious mortal and to bring disaster upon him.And Eros, the beloved son who knew her wish well, took the initiative to ask for Ying, and shot the golden arrow that made love into the poor princess's chest.The girl who was shot had a taboo emotion towards her loving father and king, and endured the long-term suffering caused by this emotion, and finally committed the heinous crime of turning father and daughter against each other.

From the moment Adonis was born in Sappho, he felt the sorrow and despair of his mother before his death. First, he rewarded his grandparents on a whim, and then destroyed the human relations with one hand because of slight dissatisfaction. Aphrodite, who chased her mother to death, caused her to die of pain, and finally coveted his appearance to meet her wishes, shamelessly pursued Aphrodite, who hated it deeply, and has always sacrificed her own life for his failure in exchange for his health Existing mother regretted meeting her, but did not expect that Hades would notice this point that he had never mentioned, and secretly made such an arrangement.

The place under his feet is not unfamiliar, it is the greenery awakened by Adonis, who has just come to Hades.Because he is compatible with the godhead of the underworld, his people have also benefited, and the mountains and plains are full of flowers and full of vitality.

He stared at the very eye-catching rattan house with complicated emotions. A strong and burly young man was patiently accompanying the smiling young girl, and from time to time they got together intimately and whispered together, just like a loving and happy couple.

Based on the blood relationship, he knew without any proof that they were his parents.

"How could this be?" Adonis was stunned, reluctant to look away, and inadvertently tightened his grip on Hades' hand: "How did you do it?"

The other free hand of Pluto wrapped around his waist naturally, and wrote lightly: "The Hades is the destination of all the dead, and it is not too difficult to find them."

He said it lightly, but how could Adonis not know that the more trivial it is, the more difficult it is to achieve, not to mention that it is extremely important for him to let the always fair and strict Pluto do it for himself. wishes?

He pursed his lips unconsciously, only to feel that his eye sockets were gradually heating up, and his vision was blurred by the wet water droplets, but he couldn't escape his shallow gratitude anyway.

Hades naturally felt the violent ups and downs in his emotions, so he didn't bother, and just accompanied him quietly until the plant god choked up slightly: "Isn't their union deliberately facilitated by Aphrodite?" Is it? The body is dead, and the effectiveness of the golden arrows should also dissipate. I believe it must be your credit for them to regain their youthfulness, but..."

Hades reassured: "After I found them, I only did two things: one was to give the post of Hades, and the other was to tell the truth."

Adonis opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Hades said succinctly: "He should have been hit by a lead arrow." Then he suggested: "Why don't you ask them yourself? They have always wanted to see you."

When Adonis heard the words, he was not as happy to agree as Pluto had imagined. Instead, he spent some time in silence to understand the shock that his father and mother actually got together after they settled their differences, and finally said: "After your generosity Under the shelter, they have gained the peace and happiness they dream of, so why do I have to disturb them? She is both my sister and the mother who gave birth to me; and he is both my grandfather and my love. Wishing father; just a simple title is enough to make this pair of reborn lovers unhappy and embarrassed in their future togetherness. No matter how honored they are in life, they should also be judged equally after death. It is you who rewarded them additionally Divinity, let them obtain eternal life in the underworld, unlike others who slowly perish in the chaos, not only they must remember in their hearts, but also I, as a child of man, should repay you."

Hades frowned, and Adonis smiled slightly, but continued on: "The most wise and righteous judge cannot judge the case, and the most skilled doctor cannot diagnose his own disease. My respected and beloved Your Majesty, even if you are the master who manipulates the black mist, you will inevitably be blinded by it sometimes. When you stare blankly at the insurmountable obstacles, it is easy to ignore that another avenue of access has already quietly opened to you. If I really don't like you, I wouldn't be willing to say a word to you, and I wouldn't be willing to look at you, and as for Styx who will become a witness of humiliation, how can I care for him at all?"

"Love is sometimes a cheap doll treated frivolously by witches, but when it sprouts in the soil of deceit, it often makes the fruit full of contradictions and confusion. Touching often breeds impulse, and it is always necessary to be cautious when expressing affection. I will confuse the cigarette burner of gratitude with the sweetness of affection, and I will not confuse the kneeling of reciprocation with the kiss of a lover. Although I have tried to get rid of your arbitrary will, I have been ignorant of you I often even argue with myself, but the development of love is always trustworthy, and I regard your recklessness as justifiable, but my heart is not as cold as a stone."

The corners of the plant god's lips turned up slightly with a smile, and he couldn't help but hold Pluto's hand, and gently kissed a sincere and chaste kiss. The dazzling beauty is like a side marigold with a pearl halo , like a flawless jade smeared with red coral juice, clearly and softly expresses his heart: "My husband Hades, who is good at stealing camps and robbers, if you don't deceive me wisely, like a clumsy hunter on the leaves in the forest If you shoot in the air, you may be able to know earlier that what you want has already been captured by you, and it has been lying in the palm of your hand."
