[Greek mythology] Born to be arrogant

It was still dark.

The seldom-seen bright night in the world gradually dimmed, but the priests still knelt together, not daring to get up.Since that disaster, the God of Light has completely changed his appearance. He is cold, violent and unkind.They had to kneel so long before they were allowed to.

It wasn't until dawn that I heard a hoarse and tired voice from the hall: "Get up, don't kneel anymore. Calliope, Daphne, Pythia, come in."

Calliope and Daphne are the goddesses brought down from Olympus by Apollo, but Pythia is the blind priestess of Delphi who always sits on the tripod bronze tripod and convulses.The three looked at each other, and Daphne changed the blood-stained skirt quite speechlessly, and then walked into the palace together with Calliope and Pythia.

Apollo lay on his side on a bed that was big enough, with his back facing them, the cloth curtain with white background and gold patterns was lowered, so that he could not see clearly.

"From today on, the Kingdom of Thessaly will be under my protection."

"Princess Colonis of Thessaly will become my priest and walk the world instead of me."

"Offending Princess Colonis is offending me."

"tomorrow……"

Before Apollo finished speaking, a young warrior in golden armor rushed in from outside the hall, holding a piece of black parchment in his hand: "Your Highness Apollo!"

Calliope and Pythia couldn't help trembling three times, mourning silently for the reckless golden armored warrior.

However, Apollo, who was always violent, had a rare good temper today. He sideways blocked Diana, who was sleeping soundly on the side of the big bed, and covered her with a light soundproof mask, and then asked gently: "What's wrong?"

After saying a word, Calliope stood up eagerly, looked at Apollo's vigorous and straight back in astonishment, and was speechless for a long time.

Daphne shrugged, stood up as well, sat on a chair beside her and fiddled with her hair.Anyway, the blue-eyed Apollo is known for his good temper, and he will never punish her for it.

The golden-armored warrior handed over a piece of black parchment: "His Majesty Hades said that you stole things from the underworld, so he wants to discuss with you."

Apollo unconsciously smiled a beautiful arc, kissed the sleeping Diana lightly, and only answered with one word: "Yes."

The Nether Frostfire Flower of the Underworld is the coldest thing in the world.To reshape Luna's body, it must be taken off.Hades was going to beat him up for it, he admitted.Besides, Diana's matter is inseparable from Hades.

The golden armored warrior lightly placed the post on the table and exited the hall.

Apollo continued what he hadn't finished saying: "Tomorrow, another bedroom will be set aside for the princess in the temple."

Calliope was stunned, Daphne froze, and Pythia respectfully replied yes.

Apollo stayed in Delphi for half a year.

For half a year, he has been hiding in the temple of Delphi without leaving home, and even the official documents were sent to Delphi by the servants for processing.There has been wave after wave of pilgrimage to the God of Light in the world, but only a handful of people actually saw Apollo.

The priests of Delphi have been very high-spirited recently, and even Thessaly, who has just been promoted to the Sanctuary of Light, has begun to raise his head.

And Pharaoh Ramses, who just went around the Hittite lair, suppressed the Hittite army within the border, and swept Syria and Babylon, finally remembered that he was forcibly taken away and thrown away. The dying princess at Delphi is gone.

Originally, ordinary people would not have the guts to rob women from gods.

It's a pity that the new pharaoh is notoriously arrogant and domineering. He even dared to marry the concubine of the sun god, so how could he care about a foreign god of light?Therefore, the pharaoh took the repaired sea fleet and aggressively set foot on Delphi, where the god of light sits, to beg for the twenty Egyptian soldiers he "suddenly disappeared".

When Pharaoh Ramesses went ashore, Apollo was holding the sleepy Diana in his arms, flipping through official documents boredly behind the desk.

The wound on Diana's body has healed, and her eyes have returned to normal.It's just that since she became a human, her body has just begun to elongate, and after being carefully raised by Apollo for half a year, she is barely higher than his chest.Now it's just right for him to sit and read a book in his arms.

Apollo casually flipped through it a few times, pushed the thick document, rubbed Diana's light golden hair, and said with some regret, "The silver one looks better."

Diana chuckled.In this day and age, there was no way to get him a bottle of hair dye.

Holding a hard quill, she scratched unconsciously on the blank parchment, and suddenly turned her head and asked Apollo seriously: "Is the 'Earth' what you were arguing with Athena in the Temple of Order?"

"'Earth'?" Apollo was a little surprised, and then he laughed, "It's really an appropriate word. Well, what Athena and I are arguing about is indeed 'Earth'." He held Diana's hand, and by the way, Holding the quill pen, lightly dipped it in ink, and drew a perfect circle on the sheepskin scroll.

Diana's eyes widened in surprise.

Positive, perfect circle?

How many times did he practice before he could draw a perfect circle like a compass...

"I was thinking..." Apollo drew another perfect circle outside the perfect circle on the parchment scroll, and then drew another perfect circle... Then he said regretfully, "Since the earth is round, the sky is round." Naturally, it should be a circle, which is more reasonable. But I can't find a suitable reason."

Looking at the large and small concentric circles on the parchment, Diana was extremely surprised, and asked tentatively, "Is the sky layered?"

Apollo nodded slightly.

"The sun, moon and stars..."

"Nature is also layered."

Geocentric!

The theory of concentric spheres and geocentrics of the Ionian School!

If Apollo added the sentence "Beyond the stars is a layer of heavenly fire", she would almost suspect that he has some unclear relationship with the Ionian School!

Wait, the Ionian school originated in Miletus, the Pythagorean school was born in Miletus, and the Miletus school is simply the founder of "the earth floats on water"... The seven gods under the name of Apollo The Great Sanctuary, Delphi, Delos, Claros, Didymes, Corinth, Miletus, Basel, plus Thessaly, which was recently promoted to the eighth largest sanctuary, happened to have Miletus among them!

No, so, coincidence...

Diana raised her head, intending to seriously discuss this issue with Apollo, but intentionally or unintentionally touched her cheek at the corner of Apollo's lips.

Embarrassed, she grabbed the parchment and asked him, "Have you ever discussed this with the scholars of Miletus?"

Apollo gave a absent-minded "hmm", kissed her snow-white neck a little restlessly, and lightly bit her soft earlobe.

A numb feeling rushed up her back immediately, making Diana tremble slightly.

As if encouraged, Apollo pushed her sideways on the throne, and gradually kissed her from her earlobe to her lips, crushing and plundering her.It took a lot of effort for her to struggle out from under Apollo, panting slightly: "No, no!"

Apollo grabbed her hand and muttered with some dissatisfaction: "Give it to me—isn't it good?"

"Not now!" She rejected him resolutely and decisively.

Are you kidding? With his size, if he wants her now, he must let her pass out and die!

Besides, she wasn't ready yet.

Even though she knew Apollo's feelings for her, she didn't dislike his kisses and touches, but she always felt a slight barrier.

She wasn't ready to be his lover, or wife.

Apollo sighed, sat her in his arms again, and listened to her say, "I once heard a theory..."

"Yeah." Apollo replied absently, continuing to rub the ends of her pale golden hair.

"Although the sky and the earth are layered, they are not floating on the sea..."

"Huh?" Apollo gradually became interested.

"The sea is attached to the surface, and everything in the world attracts each other. It is this force that maintains the order of the world..."

Apollo's body stiffened slightly, his left shoulder was hot like a branding iron, and the beautiful golden lines were already slightly glowing.

Diana was startled, and she didn't dare to speak any more. She tore open his collar with a snort, and lightly touched his shoulder. It was scorching hot, and it was already extremely uncomfortable to touch.She raised her head and asked him worriedly, "Is it all right?"

Apollo rolled his Adam's apple up and down twice, gritted his teeth and said, "Continue."

"you--"

"Go on." He insisted.

Although he didn't know where she heard these outlandish theories.But obviously, she knew much more than him.

Diana didn't dare to continue anymore.After experiencing the horrors of the Temple of Order, she knows too well how much damage these doctrines have done to the gods.

Apollo waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for Diana to "continue". He couldn't help but sighed again, rubbed the top of her head, and leaned over to press a kiss on her cheek.

Diana glared at him angrily.

If you knead again, you won't grow taller if you knead again!

She also sighed faintly, leaned into Apollo's arms, and scorned herself severely.Pampered and pampered by Apollo so much, she will definitely degenerate to the point where her body and brain will not work.

Finally, I know why I had such a ridiculously innocent and kind character in my previous life, it was purely favored by Apollo.

Apollo hugged her unwillingly, and tentatively suggested: "If you are worried about me, why not write it on paper, and I will show it to others, okay?" He thought for a while and added, " Humans. Humans are not gods, and they will not fall into silence because they cannot understand the world."

Diana immediately reacted: "Miletus?"

Apollo gave a soft "hmm".

It turned out that Miletus was the think tank left by Apollo in the world.What about Athena?Athens?Athens school? !

Diana vaguely felt that she seemed to have discovered a very important event.

She said good, turned her head again, and said earnestly, "No peeking."

A smile gradually appeared in Apollo's eyes: "Yes."

Diana leaned over the desk and wrote down the entirety of the heart of the earth. Apollo leaned back slightly, unconsciously glanced at the paper out of the corner of his eyes, his shoulders immediately ached, and his godhead faintly showed signs of shattering.He looked away, his face was a little pale, and he unconsciously pinched and rubbed the ends of Diana's hair.

Speaking of which, Diana's hair color is already much lighter.When Apollo first met her, her brilliant golden hair made him almost think he had misunderstood the person.

Whether it's hair color, eye color, skin color, or her increasingly beautiful face, or her gradually taller body, they all look more and more like the original Luna.I'm afraid that within two years, even if the gods saw her, they would call out "His Royal Highness Moon God" in surprise.

He leaned over and kissed her earlobe again, and heard the sound of small but orderly footsteps.

Diana is still concentrating on writing the order of all things for him, and has written from the geocentric theory to universal gravitation.Apollo put her down lightly, got up and walked out the door of the temple.

Diana looked up at him, and continued to bend over the table to write the theories she had seen in her previous life.

Gradually, she felt something was wrong.

Apollo's angry but suppressed reprimands came from outside the hall, as well as the crackling of the whip on the ground.Immediately afterwards, a domineering but cold voice came in clearly: "Why don't we make a bet, God of Light."

A dazzling golden light enveloped the entire Delphi in an instant, as if there was a second sun in the world, determined to compete with Helios in the sky.

Diana's pupils shrank, and she hurriedly rolled up the pen and paper, stuffed it into her bosom, and stretched out her hand to block the light like a burning fire.

That's too late.

The eyes that had just healed were stinging again, and then there was only a large piece of bright white in front of my eyes, and finally returned to the cold darkness.
