[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

The road to Hades is dark and boundless, and a carriage is hurrying along this road.

The death energy belonging to the underworld caused the vines that were originally wrapped around the horse's body to gradually wither. Along the way, leaves that lost moisture kept falling from the vines, gradually being shrouded in darkness, leaving only the flowers on the vines still blooming coquettishly.

If someone checked carefully, they would find that these vines were tightly wrapped around the carriage, and even the door was tightly wrapped. No matter how strong the wind was on Ming Road, the door was not blown at all.

In the carriage, the "comatose" person had already sat up, and the flowers Demeter wore on his body gave off a soft light. He knew that these words were imbued with divine power by his mother, and could make people think that he was him for a short time. sister of Persephone.

Melos sat in the carriage, looked at the flowers around him, and sighed leisurely.

He was originally just an overseas Chinese studying abroad, and his English name was the same as the owner of this body. He never thought that he would lose his life in order to save a girl who had almost died. Speaking of which, he didn’t know why at the time. When he was knocked down, he actually rushed forward because of heartache.

After his eyes went dark, he woke up and became the current Melos.

Melos, a person who has never been recorded in Greek mythology, maybe Melos was once one of the gods of Olympus, but in the Greek mythology he is familiar with, no matter what name the goddess of harvest is translated into, she Both had only one daughter, but never had a son.

That's why he said that Melos is a person who has never been recorded in history.

This body has been sleeping since birth, until Melos crossed over.

This is a very wonderful thing. When entering this body, one can "see" the events before his birth, just like among the gods of Olympus, many gods have divine power from birth, and they are Adult appearance.

His mother Demeter, the beautiful goddess of harvest and sister of Zeus, was dissatisfied with Zeus's scheming to snatch the position of the god of Olympus after killing his father, but their mother, the Great Mother Goddess, favored Zeus , Zeus became the god of Olympus is a sure thing, such consequences led to Poseidon leaving Olympus, occupying the world's oceans, becoming the god of the ocean, but Hades came to Hades, preferring Being with the undead and unwilling to stay in Olympus, Demeter also thought about leaving Mount Olympus, but when she was about to leave, Zeus broke into the palace and raped her, and the oracle forced her into her body. It made her unable to leave here for the rest of her life.

And after that humiliation, Demeter became pregnant.

Zeus had always had many lovers, and Hera couldn't handle them all. What's more, there were not many people who knew the truth about Demeter, and Hera was one of them.

So she turned a blind eye to the matter of Demeter's pregnancy, but unexpectedly, this matter alarmed the Great Mother Goddess.

She made a prophecy that if Demeter gave birth to a boy, then that boy would take half of Zeus' divine power and threaten Zeus' status.

So Demeter's palace was surrounded by people. During her pregnancy, although she was not troubled, it was very difficult.

When Demeter was giving birth, there was a strong wind, lightning and thunder in the sky. Zeus was originally the god of the sky, but at that time he couldn't control the changes in the weather in the sky. He almost believed that Demeter was likely to give birth. down boy.

However, Demeter insisted that Persephone, who was originally her younger sister, be born first. At that moment, everything on the earth bloomed, and the entire God Realm was simply unprecedentedly beautiful.

And the wind is still going on, but Demeter has been produced.

Zeus and Hera carefully examined the girl to make sure that she was not covered by any divine power. It was indeed a girl. When she laughed, the plants on the ground would sway, and when she cried, everything would sway. Her hair is as beautiful as Demeter's, proving that she has inherited her mother's ability. In time, she will be a harvest goddess not inferior to Demeter.

Only then did Zeus send the girl back, but perhaps because of some grievances in his heart, the girl has not been recognized by him, and has not been able to get a god in Olympus like Zeus' other children.

After everyone left, Demeter closed the palace and gave birth to Meros, who was supposed to be the first to be born, in a corner of the palace.

Melos had a very similar face to Persephone when he was a child, but he didn't inherit much of Demeter's divine power. His hair was even black, which was the color of the night sky.

Demeter knew that the prophecy of the Great Mother Goddess had come true. The child had inherited the power of Zeus, but instead of growing slowly, the child had slowly absorbed the power of Zeus in her womb. Zeus had many children. , but no child will directly absorb his power to pave the way for his own power.

In order to prevent others from discovering Meros, Demeter sealed Meros and kept him as a teenager forever, because once he became an adult, his divine power would reach its peak, and Zeus would soon be able to detect the abnormality at that time. And because Demeter gave life to the flowers in the palace, they covered up the existence of Meros, and Meros has been in a coma in the temple, no one knows his existence, and it has never been recorded in the history of Olympus This person, everyone thought that the Harvest Goddess had only one daughter, but they didn't know that she gave birth to twins.

Until the later generations of Meros came across.

What Melos is most worried about is that Zeus will suddenly break into the palace. At that time, the powerful Zeus will find his existence. Now that he has passed through, he cannot give his life to Zeus's hands.

When Meros woke up, it happened to be the time when Persephone returned from Hades to the palace of the Harvest Goddess.

According to Greek mythology, when Persephone was playing with other goddesses, she was dragged into the underworld by Hades because she mistakenly picked a flower that symbolized Hades. Helpless, she ordered Hades to send Persephone back to reunite the mother and daughter of the Harvest Goddess, but Persephone was tricked into eating pomegranates from the underworld, causing her to stay in the underworld for nearly half of the year.

There are only a few records in the myth, and it is only when facing this incident that I know Persephone’s pain. The underworld is full of death, but Persephone has inherited Demeter’s ability to make all things Resuscitate, let all things live alive.

Life and death do not exist at the same time. Let Persephone stay in the underworld, and she will not come back sooner or later.

Melos can't let his sister go back to Hades. Since Persephone said that Hades just needs a queen, it shouldn't matter who it is, right?

He didn't have much divine power, and the most important thing was that he didn't inherit his mother's ability. He would not be affected by death energy in the underworld, and he would not encounter the embarrassment that Persephone encountered when he stayed in the underworld.

In fact, he may be sure in his heart. According to mythology, Pluto and Pluto are very affectionate. Pluto seems to be very conniving with Pluto, but Pluto once had more than one lover. Maybe it is because of the difference between his living environment and the current environment that caused their love. Thoughts are different, but in his opinion, maybe Pluto and Pluto are not as loving as described in the myth.

Melos holds the bouquet in his hand, which is the scepter his mother made for him. Demeter promised him to come to the underworld, but it is impossible to prepare nothing.

He doesn't know what kind of person Hades is, but this is his only way out now. "Meros" does not exist in the mythical records. No one knows when he was born and when he died. It was pitch black, so he had to go by himself.

The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down until it finally stopped, and someone knocked on the door: "Are you awake?"

Melos took a deep breath and responded lightly: "En."

He tapped on the car door with his shrunken scepter, and the vines outside the car door gradually spread out. Melos lowered his head and pushed the door open.

Everything around was very dark, and there was a faint light around the carriage, but this gray color did not affect Melos' vision. He could clearly see the carriage parked at the gate of a palace.

He lowered his head and walked slowly towards the gate of the palace.

Behind him, the vines that originally wrapped around the carriage slowly approached him, following him into the palace.

The light in the palace is much brighter than the outside. According to Persephone's description, this is probably the palace of the queen of the underworld. According to Persephone, the king of the underworld rarely comes here, and she doesn't see it most of the time. Pluto's.

There was no one in the palace. It is said that Persephone lost her temper just before leaving Hades and drove all the maids away, because those maids wanted Persephone to wear the clothes of Hades, but those clothes were stained with death. Persephone felt very uncomfortable because of the breath of death, she lost the innocence she had when she was in Olympus, and became very angry, so she drove these people away.

Melos breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking down at the vines at his feet, he turned and closed the palace gate, then tapped the vines with his staff.

The originally decadent vines seemed to be infused with life, and they grew directly at his feet. They wrapped around the pillars of the palace, spread slowly on the ground, and their roots penetrated into the ground, blooming flowers of different colors.

Where the flowers bloom, there seems to be a soft light emitting, adding a little brightness to the palace.

Melos smiled lightly.

If you can pass the level of Pluto, it is not a bad thing to live here all the time.

Thinking of this, he took his mind off for a while and walked to the room. Persephone said that Hades didn't come here often, which meant that he had enough time to rest before facing the back road.

It's just that Melos' luck has never been very good, otherwise he would not have been transmigrated here, and he would have transmigrated to a person who has never been recorded in history, and this person may encounter death at any time.

When Melos walked into the room, a man was already standing there.

The author has something to say:

Well... It is said that Persephone was not born with a fixed god like other children of Zeus at the beginning. She became the goddess of spring only later. Yueyue made a small fuss about this legend
