[Comprehensive] On the Unity of the Goddess and the Cook

In fact, in places unknown to Hestia, Athena and Poseidon had already fought tit-for-tat many times.

Athena felt that Poseidon had always been an eyesore, and especially liked to compete with her for the attention of her aunt Hestia.And Poseidon also thinks Athena is very annoying. She is not only the daughter of Zeus and Metis whom he hates, but also the guy who occupies Hestia's favor.This Athena even always leaps and bounds in front of him with Hestia's favor for her.

However, the two have fought so many times, always in a corner that Hestia doesn't know, and they have always been teasing and stumbling, but it was not as serious as this time, which alarmed Hess Tia.

This time, the fight between the two directly rose to the level of open flames, for no other reason than to fight for territory.The place they competed for was a human-inhabited city-state on the west side of the mountain where the temple of Hestia was located, and both of them wanted to be the patron saint of this city-state.

Because the human settlements on the land formed city-states of various sizes, many gods chose many cities out of various considerations such as sacrifices and became the patron saints of the cities.Often after becoming the patron saint of this city, this god is also regarded as the owner of this land, and other gods must respect this right and will not fight again.

But this time Poseidon and Athena fell in love with this newly established city-state that had not yet been named. The two appeared at the same time and announced that they would become the patron saint of this place.

Originally, human beings still welcome the city-state they established to be guarded by gods, but it is too much for them to have two at once.They can only hope that one of the gods will withdraw voluntarily.

But those two gods refused to give in to each other, from a verbal quarrel to a fight.

Under the support of the sea water, Poseidon waved the trident, the symbol of the sea emperor, and shouted loudly: "Athena, as your elder, I think I need to let you know what the rules are!"

"Rules? As an elder, you don't seem to follow the rules very much. My dear second uncle, how are you going to teach my niece?" Athena stood with a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, standing high in the air On the chariot, he said without showing any weakness.She has long wanted to clean up her ruffian uncle.

The two masters looked at each other, and suddenly there was a feeling of sparks.

When the gods fight, human beings suffer.These two main god-level great gods urged each other to burn the small universe with divine power, causing sand and stones to fly around them, and birds and beasts to retreat.This makes the humans who have been paying attention to them a little scared.

These human beings gathered together and worked hard to establish a city-state. They were still proud that their city-state could attract gods, but now they are extremely happy and sad.What they are most afraid of now is that these two gods will get angry and finally turn their anger on them.You must know that the gods are all eccentric, and they may hate them and directly destroy the city-state they worked so hard to build.

Zeus, gods, whoever hears our call, please come and save us!Many people began to pray involuntarily.

Perhaps hearing the call of human beings, another god appeared between Poseidon and Athena who were already fighting together.

"Stop you two!" It was Hestia who came, and she was looking at Poseidon and Athena angrily.These two people were people she cared about, but they actually fought in a place where she couldn't see.

The temple of Hestia is on Mount Hymettus to the east of this unnamed city-state, very close to here.Moreover, there are many servants in her temple who are sent by other temples to learn cooking skills. Hestia never forbids these servants from leaving her temple.So some servants of the gods came to play in the city-state closest to the temple.As soon as these servants found that Poseidon and Athena were about to fight, they rushed back to the temple of Hestia to inform her.

Hestia couldn't believe it when she heard the news. After all, the two got along very well in front of her. How could they fight in the blink of an eye?There is not only this piece of land on the earth, why do we have to fight and grab it?

With this suspicion, Hestia quickly came to the scene of the incident.Before she got close, she saw Poseidon and Athena in mid-air from a distance, and felt the small universe that was tense between the two.

Now Hestia is on fire, what she dislikes the most is the fighting between close people, so she doesn't care about other things, she directly intervenes between the two.

"Hestia!"

"aunt!"

Poseidon and Athena recognized the person at the same time, and called out in unison.Then he glared at him fiercely again.

It's over, Hestia/Auntie must be mad!This thought flashed through the minds of both of them at the same time.

Sure enough, Hestia's face was livid, and the small universe seemed to be on fire.

"Tell me, why did you two fight?" Hestia's signature weapons, a pan and a kitchen knife, appeared on Hestia's two hands at some point, and the pan and kitchen knife made a crisp sound when they collided together. .

"It's Athena/Second Uncle who is deceiving people too much!" Poseidon and Athena said in unison again, and the content of what they said was also very similar, they were all blaming each other.

"Auntie, I just think this place is very close to your temple, so I want to build a temple here, and I will use this place as my permanent residence on the earth in the future. Then I can go back to see you often, don't you think so? "Athena was as clever as she used to be when she was not a grown-up, she stepped forward and took Hestia's arm, coquettishly like a little girl.What she said was indeed what was in her heart, and that was what she planned at the time.

Hestia liked Athena in the first place, and it was very helpful for Athena to act like a baby, which was rarely seen after she grew up. She nodded confusedly.

Athena felt happy when she saw Hestia's reaction.She immediately put on a very aggrieved face: "But I didn't expect that my second uncle also fell in love with this place. If it was another place, I would definitely give it to my second uncle, but this place is the closest to my aunt. I... ·" Athena was speechless with aggrieved face.

When Hestia saw that her beloved niece, who had always been strong and never cried even when her love failed, looked like she was about to cry, she immediately felt distressed. She immediately looked at Poseidon with accusing eyes, and silently accused him of bullying him. Small, bullying niece.

Poseidon was originally depressed because Athena was one step behind and did not complain to Hestia, but now seeing Hestia's expression, he had the urge to punish Athena severely.But first, he had to get rid of the woman who defended her shortcomings for any reason.

"This is the closest to the Aegean Sea where my Sea Emperor Palace is located. According to the convention, this should be my territory. If I back down, my authority as the Sea Emperor will be ignored." Poseidon also took out A decent reason.

Generally, sea gods will regard the city closest to the coast as their own territory. Although there is no explicit regulation on this point, most gods will automatically abide by this point.If other sea gods competed for territory with Athena, who was at the level of the main god, given Athena's status as the main god, she would choose to give up.But Poseidon is the main god like Athena, and is the ruler of the sea realm. If he backs down, it will give people a feeling that the sea emperor does not have the authority of Athena, and it will also affect Poseidon's power in the sea realm. dominance.

Hestia was at a loss for words, and Poseidon was right.He just did it according to the usual practice, who would have thought that Athena would also be interested in this place.Do you want Athena to back down?

Seeing that Hestia was a little moved by Poseidon, Athena hurriedly grabbed Hestia's arm again. "Auntie, I miss you so much at Mount Olympus. You are angry with Zeus and don't go to Mount Olympus. I just miss you, so I can only endure it. Finally, there is a suitable place, I... "..." Athena's eyes turned red, and she couldn't continue.

Hestia was dumbfounded. These two people had their own reasons, and neither of them planned to back down. What should she do?Is it true to step aside and let these two fight?She lowered her head helplessly and thought, just in time to see those humans on the ground looking up at them.She suddenly had an idea.

"I have a solution, you just wait." She said as she lowered to the ground.

She came before the human beings and looked at these human beings who were uneasy because of her arrival.She cleared her throat and said, "Now Poseidon, the emperor of the sea, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, both want to be the patron saint of your city-state. I think that as the masters of the city-state, you have the right to choose a patron saint that suits you best. Don't be afraid, Tell me your choice." Hestia's plan is that since Athena and the others don't intend to give in, she, the goddess, has no way to solve it, so she can give it to the human beings in the city-state that Athena and the others are fighting for. Decide on the candidate for the patron saint, so those who are not selected can be considered convinced.

The human beings looked at each other in blank dismay. Originally, they were uneasy because of the competition between the two great gods.Later, seeing another goddess came, I thought it was another contender, and I was still praying for a while that the city-state they worked so hard to build would not be destroyed because of the war between the three gods.In the end, what did the goddess say, that the right to choose should be handed over to them, and they, human beings, can choose their own destiny?Can those great gods be the objects of their choice?

"Don't be afraid, just tell your true thoughts." Hestia comforted these terrified humans softly.

"Are you the goddess Hestia?" Someone in the crowd recognized Hestia. Hestia has a good reputation among humans. She often helps humans and is considered by humans to be a goddess of justice, kindness, and mercy. .

Hestia nodded: "Yes, I am Hestia. The Emperor of the Sea is my brother, and Athena is my niece. No matter what choice you make, I will supervise their fulfillment."

While Hestia was talking to humans, Poseidon and Athena also glanced at each other and fell to the ground at the same time.After hearing Hestia's words, they all nodded and looked at the humans.

"Yes, we all agree with Goddess Hestia's proposal."

Poseidon and Athena looked at humans proudly at the same time, and they both felt that it would be a mistake for humans not to choose themselves.

The human beings who were given the right to choose also stared blankly at the two great gods. They didn't know who to choose, and the two gods also had some supporters.

For a while, the atmosphere at the scene was very dull.

In the end, it was Hestia who broke the dullness: "That's good, you two each give a gift to the humans in this city-state, and whoever gives the gift that humans like more, then he is the patron saint of this place. "

Poseidon and Athena looked at each other and agreed with Hestia's suggestion.

Poseidon hit the ground with his trident before Athena, and the sound of horseshoes stamping on the ground was heard not far away, and a vigorous horse galloped from far to near.

This magnificent horse has attracted the exclamation of many people. After all, it is a horse that many people have never seen in their entire lives.Many men have a passion to ride this horse and ride it to conquer other city-states.

Athena snorted coldly. She waved her scepter, and an olive tree emerged from the ground, slowly growing from a small sapling to a big tree.She signaled to humans to come forward and take off the olives from the trees, and taught them how to press olives for oil.Looking at the fragrant oil squeezed out of the olives, people cheered bursts of cheers.

Both great gods have shown their gifts to humans, and now it is the turn of humans to choose.People whispered, some even emotionally presented their choices and tried to convince others to follow theirs.

In the end, everyone reached a consensus, and a respected old man represented their choices to the three great gods:

"We choose the goddess Athena as our patron saint?" Rather than gaining benefits through armed warfare, their new city-state needs more steady construction.In this way, Goddess Athena is more suitable for them than Lord Neptune.

Poseidon's face darkened.

Athena laughed. She glanced coldly at Poseidon's black face, and then happily announced: "From today onwards, I am the patron saint of this place. This place is named Athens!"

The author has something to say: put Hestia's temple on the edge of the sanctuary.After checking the geography of Athens, there is a mountain of Hymettus in the east of Athens, and its height is not bad. This is where the later temple of Hestia is located.But I read the introduction of Mount Hymetus, it seems that it is the location of the ancient cemetery, embarrassing!

By the way, let me report on my current progress. I have coded all the chapters of the Xishen Juan, and I am now writing a side story.These days we are about to enter the second volume of Chinese Mythology.By the way, I would like to report the names I chose for the fourth volume: Volume [-] is Goddess, Volume [-] is God of Cooking, Volume [-] is Chef Maid, and Volume [-] is Canteen Lady.It seems that Hestia is getting lower and lower.

I stopped by today to apply for a limited exemption for the old article, and found out that it has been scheduled for June of 15. Everyone is so positive.Don't forget to leave a message, there are still five red envelopes to be sent today, first come first served.
