[Greek Mythology] Prince of Zeus

The most urgent thing to do now is to make yourself resistant to Zeus's messy tricks and divine power, Ganymedes thought, so that he can completely avoid being favored by Zeus and retreat completely.

And there must be some magic medicine on Mount Olympus that can help him.

It took Ganymedes a lot of courage to say it, but the medical officer didn't care at all when he heard it. He raised his head and looked at the beautiful young man in front of him. His pale golden curly hair was illuminated by the sunlight penetrating in. He looked soft and bright, and his complexion was good. There was nothing morbid about him.

The medical officer thought that this beautiful boy probably wanted to have some fun with the God King, so he didn't want to be in heat anytime and anywhere.He also listened to Ganymedes' words and gave a treatment method that could still be regarded as a prescription.

If Ganymedes knew how the medical officer understood his embarrassing words, he would be so angry that he would immediately get sick and let the medical officer see him.

But Ganymedes didn't know, so he is doing his best to extract the magic medicine from the medical officer, or looking for clues to the magic medicine.Ganymedes put on a pitiful and tormented look towards the medical officer. He knew that beauty is a passport to any place.The medical officer will definitely help him treat this "serious illness".

Ganymedes was wrong, beauty is indeed a passport to any place, but the premise is that the other party knows where he is going.

Reject the favor of the king of the gods?Obviously, no one, including God, can imagine this.

The medical officer said: "There are many purple hyacinths planted in Apollo, the god of light. You can bathe with purple hyacinths, or soak them in water after drying them to drink. That can help you calm down."

"Really, really?" Ganymedes asked suspiciously, why this "miracle medicine" sounds so ordinary.

"I hope the prince can be helped." The medical officer nodded.

But Ganymedes changed his mind and thought that Apollo is also the god of medicine, and the purple hyacinth planted on him may not be known as a magic medicine.

Ganymedes thanked the medical officer and made an agreement with the medical officer that he would not reveal the cause of the illness he inquired about today.

"After all, this is not an embarrassing thing." Ganymedes said.

The doctor agreed to him.

It will be regarded as complying with the doctor-patient confidentiality agreement.Only then did Ganymedes rest assured that he would not leak the news to Zeus and let him know that his plan was not good.

Ganymedes decided to go to Apollo to have a look. The purple hyacinth had to be tried to know whether it was useful or not.

Ganymedes went to Apollo, and a large purple hyacinth was planted outside Apollo's palace of light.So I collected a lot of them and went back to use them.

Ganymedes returned to the palace of the king of the gods, and it took a lot of time to run like this. Just when his body felt tired, he went to the bathing pool and immediately tried the effect of purple hyacinth.

Ganymedes kept some and put them in the window to dry and drink them with soaking water, and poured the rest into the bath without letting the ladies serve him. He wanted to take a quiet bath alone to relax his body and nerves.

Ganymedes was soaking in the bath water of the purple hyacinth, and when he was about to take a nap, he heard the sound of splashing water behind his ears.

This isn't an open-air bath, so there's no reason it's raining here.

Ganymedes turned to see what was going on.

As soon as Ganymedes turned around, he saw a tall and handsome young man with blond hair crying by the bath with tears and snot in his nose, and his tears rolled down into the bath like rain.

Ganymedes saw that he was wearing a crown woven with branches and leaves of laurel and water lily, and was dressed gorgeously. This dress and appearance should be Apollo, so he asked, "Why are you crying?"

"You, you, you have the smell of my lover on your body." Apollo said, sobbing.

This frightened Ganymedes, what did Apollo mean by this?He doesn't want to be treated as a double lover by Apollo. People who fall in love with Apollo never end well. He doesn't want to be treated by Apollo.

It's miserable enough to be seen by Zeus, what kind of divine development is this? !

"I don't understand what you mean, but please don't cry, it makes me sad even if I don't understand the reason, the afternoon sun is no longer bright because of your weeping," Ganymedes said.

After listening to Ganymedes' words, Apollo finally stopped his tears.Apollo reached out and wiped his face, and finally regained his refreshment.

Be sunny, healthy, and firm.His slightly curled long hair floated on his shoulders, exuding a slight fragrance.

"I'm sorry to make your mood worse. It's just that I can't restrain myself for a while." Apollo said.

"Please don't say that, I am willing to listen to your sadness, and want to know what made you cry so much." Ganymedes said.

"If this happened to you, you would cry like me. There is nothing sadder in this world, and this is my tragic fate."

Apollo told Ganymedes why he said the phrase "Your body has the smell of my lover" to Ganymedes, and why he burst into tears.

It turned out that Apollo fell in love with a Macedonian prince named Hyacinthus, the son of Cleo the Muse and King Pierros of Macedon.

"He was a charming boy, and Zephyros, the god of the west wind, loved him too. But I gave him all my love and passion, and he also rejected Zephyros, the god of the west wind, for me. We walked through forests, lakes and swamps, and hunted together , play. We are each other's love."

"One day, we were playing the discus throwing competition together. I got so carried away with it that I tried my best to throw the discus to show Hyacinthus my strength. The discus flew into the clouds and split the clouds in two. Shining like a star. Yacintos was really happy. He ran to catch my discus, but unexpectedly there was a headwind. The discus hit him on the forehead. I ran over and hugged him on my lap , I wanted to stop the blood gurgling from his forehead. But I couldn't stop, his face turned pale quickly, and his eyes that were once as clear as clear springs lost the brilliance of life..."

Apollo said, and shed tears again.

"Why do you say this? I pushed him into the abyss of death with one hand. Is our competitive game a sin? Is that a sin? Or is my love the culprit? Could it be that I love too deeply and follow along?" Is it a crime to follow? If only I could join him on his journey to the uninteresting land of the dead. Why am I cursed to live forever? Why can't I follow him?"

Ganymedes wept as he listened.It seemed that it was not Hyacinthus who died, but himself.

Ganymedes knew that Hyacinthus died not by accident, but by the jealousy of Zephyrus, the god of the west wind.It is really similar to the ending that will happen if I can't avoid it.

What is the difference between the two?The same thing is to die because of being loved by the gods.

This is the difference between human beings and gods. Being favored by gods is not a blessing but a curse.

Zeus is like this, and so is his son Apollo. They are really good father and son with similar tastes.

I really want to tell them, please let the princes of the world go!Stop abusing your love.It just makes people unhappy.

Apollo reached out to wipe Ganymedes' tears, "You are such a kind and charming prince." Ganymedes just listened to his narration, and felt deeply moved as he cried with himself.

"Indeed, your love is the culprit." Ganymedes said, knowing that Zephyros, the god of the west wind, killed Hyacinthus with a headwind, but Ganymedes didn't intend to do that. Tell Apollo, say so with deliberate malice.

For what would tell Apollo the truth now?People cannot be resurrected after death, and he does not want to be the one who provokes the flames of war between Apollo, the god of light, and Zephyrus, the god of west wind.

Squeezing yourself into an incident between the gods will not end well, and the final cannon fodder will definitely be yourself.

Apollo's expression seemed to be stabbed in the heart by a sharp knife again, but he would not blame Ganymedes for this, but said with a broken heart: "But I can't regret the happy time we spent together. I can’t fall in love with him with all my strength.”

Ganymedes scolded Apollo in his heart for being selfish.

As selfish as Zeus.

The author has something to say: Ganymedes: A tiger father has no dogs!

"I actually went away" is quoted in the original text

Apollo hugged Hyacinthus and said, here "you" is changed to "he".
