[Greek mythology] Born to be arrogant

The battle situation in the Red Sea is becoming more and more tense.

I heard that the Egyptians' offensive became more and more fierce every time, and almost most of the countries in the Mesopotamia were involved in the battle group.Babylon stopped building Babel and Hanging Gardens, and Syria moved almost all of its troops to the edge of the desert.And the most powerful Hittite Kingdom also endured the most violent offensive, and could counterattack once or twice from time to time, which shocked the gods.

Greece was surprisingly calm.

Maybe Ramses really kept his promise, or maybe he is busy with the Hittites now and has no time to deal with those Greek city-states that can be run over with one finger, or maybe the level of naval warfare in Egypt and Hittites is too low , not at all the opponents of the Greeks who are good at naval battles. Anyway, the Greeks lived quite comfortably in the endless wars outside the territory.

Apollo met Plato in Miletus.

It is said that the founder of the School of Athens originally wanted to study in Miletus, but unexpectedly met a living god.The Euclid who wrote the "Elements of Geometry" followed Plato with a righteous face, ignoring the bearded Isidore... the pair of evil wolf eyes that looked like flesh, always A "I don't know you" look.

It is said that Euclid was kidnapped by Plato.

Isidore was very depressed, and even Apollo was also very depressed.

The only good thing is that Apollo finally gave up the bad habit of holding Diana to meet guests, and sat obliquely on the divine throne, with his long white robes hanging down to the ground, with a bit of laziness in his majesty.

Diana sat more casually on the steps below the throne—at Apollo’s strong request, she sat on the left—with half of her body leaning on Apollo’s body, without the slightest look of a princess.

Cough, are the scholars used to doing things casually?

If they were to sit upright, as they do in temples or courts, Plato and Euclid would have to turn their heads and leave.

Slowly, Plato finally brought in a third person: his most proud student and a famous scholar in later generations, Aristotle.

Diana's only thought was that Miletus really didn't come in vain, and actually met all the advanced and most powerful scholars.

Plato first bowed to Apollo and expressed his respect to the main god.The appearance of Apollo's "clay doll" was made for the gods to see. Ordinary people can't see the difference between a clay doll and a god, so Apollo didn't bother to pretend.

Diana propped her chin up with one finger, looked carefully at Plato, Aristotle, and Euclid, and deliberately lowered her voice and said, "I thought Socrates would come too. Um , and Diogenes."

Apollo couldn't help laughing, and rubbed the top of her head habitually: "Don't make trouble, Socrates is already over 60 years old, how come he came all the way to Miletus?"

Diana compared the height of the steps and the altar, and found to her dismay that they sat in a perfect position for Apollo to rub her head.

I really can't grow tall...

Diana freed his hands from the top of her head to focus on Plato.Plato seemed to be accustomed to this kind of intimacy between gods and humans, and without even raising his eyelids, he began to "ask" some philosophical questions to Apollo.

For example, the world formed by ideas is supreme and eternal.

Another example is that philosophy is above everything else.

Another example, the transcendental and posteriori spiritual logic ontology subject and object...

Diana was given a headache by a series of obscure philosophical terms, and leaned against Apollo again, a little drowsy.

Apollo combed her long hair one by one, listening attentively to Plato's almost provocative words.He knew very well that Plato would not come to Miletus for no reason, and at least a large part of what he said was Athena's meaning.

Is she testing herself...

The Goddess of Wisdom never does things straight, at least she has to make seventeen or eighteen turns...

Apollo lowered his head slightly, his body felt a little hot.

Diana obviously sensed it, turned around, and looked at him worriedly: "Your Highness?"

"No problem."

Apollo shook his head slightly, curled the corners of his mouth, and smiled beautifully, "It's just that I'm a little lost in listening."

Plato paused for a moment, then continued talking.

Diana suddenly realized, and gently squeezed Apollo's palm, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

【It is a secret that God will be hurt because of these "rules". 】,

【This is the only weakness of God, but it is also the weakest and deadliest weakness. 】

She leaned closer to Apollo again, trying to make him feel better with her cool body temperature.

Apollo rubbed her head again, and asked Plato a few questions gently.Plato answered one by one, and then asked Aristotle and Isidore to have a debate.Arguing and arguing, even Architas joined the battle group.The originally solemn and solemn temple was suddenly filled with hasty and fierce quarrels, and even the teenagers who had just finished their classes in the academy were poking their heads outside the hall, with expressions of joy and fascination.

Apollo let them quarrel and quarrel below, without stopping or interjecting, just listening quietly, dipping some ink with a quill pen from time to time, and recording some words on the parchment.Diana leaned against him, also silent, but her tiredness grew stronger.

Well, she seems to be getting more and more lethargic these days.

The sound of rustling writing stopped.

Apollo put down the parchment, leaned over and picked up the drowsy Diana, said "I'll be back later", got up and went to the apse.The quarrel in the temple paused for a second, and suddenly there was a coaxing sound, and it was even louder than before.

Diana hugged his shoulder in a daze, and asked in a strong nasal voice, "Why did you leave first?"

Apollo paused, lowered his head, and lightly touched her forehead with his forehead, but he didn't feel hot.But if she hadn't caught a cold, how could her voice suddenly become so soft...

"Apollo?" She opened her eyes, but her vision was blurry.

Apollo said "It's okay" in a low voice, hugged her to lie down in the dormitory, and tested her temperature. After confirming that she didn't have a cold, he carefully took off her shoes and socks, closed the quilt, and let her She sleeps for a while.

Diana let out an extremely weary "hmm".

Probably because he has tossed it to pieces recently, my whole body is limp and I can't lift my spirits, even the sleep time has become longer.

When Apollo returned to the hall again, the scholars who had always talked but not used hands were ready to roll up their sleeves and fight.

He coughed heavily, reminding them of his existence, and then he still sat obliquely on the throne, letting half of his robe hang loosely, and asked seemingly casually, "What did you all achieve?"

Isidore stared at Aristotle with a blushing neck, Archytas clutched Euclid's sleeve tightly, Plato held a parchment and solemnly promoted his theory-"idea is the root of all things" source” and then tried to convince everyone to accept it all.

Apollo said lazily: "It seems that you didn't get any results."

Isidore and Architas looked like red-eyed rabbits who "failed His Highness's expectations".

Apollo sat up a little bit, and looked at Plato with a half-smile.

Plato rolled up the parchment a few more times, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to give lessons to the sun god.

Aristotle immediately and graciously prepared a small tablet and pen and ink.

Apollo raised his hand and stopped Plato: "Let Athena tell me in person next time." He paused, then turned to look at Euclid, "Do you still insist on staying in Athens? Miletus Not to your liking?"

Euclid was a little hesitant: "His Royal Highness knows, such things as study tours-in fact, I plan to go to Egypt."

Plato laughed dryly twice.

Apollo smiled approvingly: "It's always good to learn more when you are young."

Plato continued to laugh dryly, and turned to look at his favorite student Aristotle: "What about you?"

Aristotle thought for a while before answering: "Since even God says it is good, it must be good."

The corners of Plato's mouth twitched twice: "Then I'd better go on a study tour with you."

This debate, which seemed to be finding fault and smashing the field, ended happily, and the delegation of the Athens School also began to roll over the entire Miletus.The academic atmosphere in Miletus is very strong, and you can see countless pairs of eyes thirsting for knowledge when you step into any college at will. The visiting group expressed their satisfaction.

The tempering technique from the east has been studied to a great extent—of course, under the premise that Diana has messed up countless scimitars.She squinted her eyes and curled up in Apollo's arms, arguing with the craftsmen about the structure of the armor. With her vague memory, she drew the outline of a chain mail, and forced the craftsmen to say that "the armor is suitable for fighting only if it is close to the body, and the heavy armor is not suitable for battle." close to the body" objection was dismissed.

Hmm, I vaguely remember that chain mail is also an oriental idea.That ancient and magical nation does have a lot of creativity.

She curled up in Apollo's arms and squinted her eyes. Looking at the snowflakes flying all over the sky, she asked in a daze, "Is the war over?"

Apollo wrapped her more tightly with fur, and warmed her with sunshine-like temperature: "Probably, not."

He paused, and then said: "The Egyptian Pharaoh is a predestined god. It is not surprising that Ramses can win. What surprised me is that the general pharaoh will die before he can become a god in the belief of the whole country." The real sun god, he is actually now... It seems that the worship of Ramses by the Egyptians has reached a rather fanatical level."

"The power of faith..."

"Yeah." Apollo nodded, and hugged her tighter, "Your face is a little pale, are you sick?"

"No..." She replied softly, burying her head in the socket of Apollo's shoulder, "How can you get sick after being taken care of so well by you? I have gained a whole circle of weight recently..." Even she was always slender The waist also tends to develop towards the waist of a bucket, which is really bad.

Apollo smiled lowly: "It's better to be fatter."

"Not good! The menstruation holiday has been postponed recently... Delayed..." She "postponed" for a long time, but she couldn't say the word "period".

Recently, I have become more and more lethargic, my whole body is swollen at every turn, and I am getting tired of Apollo's acting like a baby...

Shouldn't...

Yes……

aha? !
