[Greek Mythology] Prince of Zeus

night.

Zeus and Ganymedes enjoyed a delicious dinner.

Zeus said to Ganymedes: "Thetis, the daughter of Nereus and Doris, the goddess of the sea, will marry Peleus, king of the Myrmidons, and all the gods are invited."

"All the gods?" Ganymedes said after taking a bite of the venison that melted in his mouth.

"Of course, Eris, the goddess of discord, is not invited." Zeus raised his glass and drank the mellow red wine.

"Why not invite the goddess of discord Eris?" Ganymedes asked.It is indeed inappropriate to invite the Goddess of Discord in an atmosphere of wedding joy.

But it occurred to Ganymedes that the Trojan War began with the dispute over the golden apples, which began only as a prank by the goddess of discord who had not been invited to Thetis' wedding.All the gods were invited but she was not invited, which seemed hurtful and unfair.

So if she is invited to attend Thetis' wedding, maybe the signs of the Trojan War can be extinguished at the beginning?

"She and Thetis seem to have some personal grievances," Zeus said.

Ganymedes said: "The goddess of discord, Eris, is the daughter of you and Hera, the queen of heaven. She deserves to be treated like the gods. But she was not invited, which makes her look very poor. Maybe this wedding banquet can become It is a good opportunity for them to resolve their personal grievances."

Zeus looked at Ganymedes and said, "Then, as you said, I think she will be invited too."

Ganymedes picked up the wine glass with a smile, touched the rim of the glass with Zeus, and drank the wine together.

The wedding banquet of the sea goddesses Thetis and Peleus was held in the cave.

Ganymedes was present at the wedding feast with Zeus.

The cave is splendidly decorated, and the gods have come.

"It's so lively." Apollo came to Ganymedes and said.

After Apollo finished speaking, he glanced at Ganymede's expression, but found that Ganymede's expression seemed out of place, "What's wrong? My friend. You are not moved by this cheerful excitement. Infected?"

Ganymede's expression was a little stiff. At the beginning of facing a huge disaster in his own country, he was always in a relaxed mood. The wedding banquet between Thetis and Peleus might be a big event for other gods. A feast of joy and joy, but nothing to him like being immersed in danger.

Ganymedes left Zeus, walked aside with Apollo, and asked, "Has the goddess Eris come?"

"Eris? Why did you ask her to come all of a sudden?" Apollo followed Ganymedes' question, looked around, and replied, "I haven't come yet. After all, it's Thetis' wedding banquet. She can't behave like that." Happy to be on time like the rest of the gods. Maybe a little later."

Ganymedes bit her nails, a little worried, if even if she was invited, would she be invited to attend?Damn Goddess of Discord Eris, if she specifically asks Zeus to invite Thetis to invite her, but she doesn't attend and plays tricks of throwing apples secretly, she will definitely pay the price for playing pranks.

All the gods offered good blessings in front of Thetis and Peleus.

Ares teased Peleus and said, "It's really not easy for you. You persisted and finally pursued the sea goddess Thetis. She is the most virtuous daughter of the sea god Nereus."

Thetis couldn't say how happy she was. She was the goddess of the sea, but she was promised to Peleus, the human being, by Zeus, the king of the gods, even though he was the king of Thessaly.Regardless of becoming a lioness, a water snake or sea water, Peleus hid in the cave where she often rested and captured and defeated her when she was not aware of it, so that he won the wedding.

Just when the wedding was about to be officially held.

Eris, the goddess of discord, arrives belatedly.

Ganymedes let go of his hanging heart, and saw that Eris looked good, and brought the joy of coming to the wedding and being respected.

Ganymedes walked back to Zeus, and his seat was next to the god king, and he sat down with Zeus.

After Zeus took his seat, all the gods also sat down.

The short but solemn oath was finished between Peleus and Thetis.

The cheerful and lively wedding banquet began.

The waiters brought wine and delicacies to the gods.

All the gods sat at the long table with exquisite stone carvings, talking and laughing brought everyone closer together, and the echoes of the gods echoed in the cave.

Halfway through the fun, it's gift time.

Peleus received a set of exquisite equipment from the gods as a gift.

Peleus was very happy, and raised his glass to thank the gods. He drank several glasses in a row before stopping. Everyone admired his drinking capacity and applauded.

Thetis also received many gifts and was very happy.

At this time, Goddess Eris smiled and said, "I have prepared a gift for you."

Ganymedes was peeling a grape, threw it into his mouth, and almost choked on Eris' words.He stared sideways at Eris, thinking in his heart that it must not be a golden apple, it must not be a golden apple.

Unexpectedly, the goddess of discord Eris actually took out a delicate and shining golden apple.

Ganymedes was speechless for a while, and swallowed the grapes whole.Why was she invited, since she was respected and not ignored, she still did it?What is she going to say next?

Ganymedes prayed in her heart that the goddess of discord Eris wanted to resolve the personal grievances between her and the goddess of the sea, and she sincerely presented golden apples to Thetis without any extra problems.

Holding the golden apple in her palm, Eris, the goddess of discord, looked around the gods and said, "I wanted to say that I would give this golden apple to the 'most beautiful'. But who is the most beautiful among the gods? Debatable, and he—”

The Goddess of Discord looked at Ganymedes with the golden apple, and said with a smile: "And he already has the favor of the king of the gods. No matter how good the treasure in the world is, it is inferior and incomparable in front of it. He also How can you think of a golden apple like mine?"

Zeus also put on a smile when Eris said this, thinking that she said it very well.

Eris, the goddess of discord, threw the golden apple on the long table and said, "So, I gave this golden apple to the most beautiful goddess."

Eris finished speaking, offered her gifts, and disappeared into the cave, before the other goddesses asked her who was the most beautiful goddess.

Ganymedes was offended by Eris' words.What does it mean that who is the most beautiful is undisputed, and it is changed to the most beautiful goddess, so as not to cause controversy?Isn't this clearly here to cause trouble?

Ganymedes felt that he had underestimated the "private grievances" between the goddesses. Obviously, letting one party take the initiative to invite the other to participate in the most wonderful moment of her life was not enough to dispel the "private grievances".

The Goddess of Disharmony deserves to be the Goddess of Disharmony, so she can still provoke trouble when she is beyond reproach.

She is indeed the daughter of Hera.

"Interesting, it seems that Eris has left us a great sideshow." Ares, the god of war, helped his sister Eris to smooth things over, "So which goddess can get this golden apple and win the title of the most beautiful goddess?" ?”

Ganymedes didn't know whether Ares was drunk or was "blunt" by nature, which made the situation even worse.

Ganymedes covered his face and stabilized his mood. He just wanted to say, since this is the wedding of the sea goddess Thetis, the most beautiful goddess today should be Thetis. The wedding ceremony presented in the book should also be given to Thetis, so everyone should be more modest.

Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, took the lead of Ganymedes and said to Zeus: "Father God, you are the king of the gods, and you should judge who is the most beautiful goddess."

It turned out that all the goddesses had already stretched out their hands to grab the golden apples, refusing to give in to each other.Yes, whoever gets the golden apple is a small matter, but the title of the most beautiful goddess is a big matter, and it is impossible for anyone to be modest at this time.Not to mention the insignificant Thetis.If the goddesses, the daughter of Cronus and the daughter of the god-king, are competing with each other, how can it be the turn of Thetis, the old daughter of the sea?

Thetis hated the discord goddess Eris even more in her heart, and she succumbed to the request of Zeus, the god king, to let go of her personal grievances and invite her, but she even disrupted her wedding under the pretense of presenting a gift.

The protagonist of the wedding banquet suddenly changed from her to the golden apple, and no one took her seriously anymore.

Zeus took Ganymedes by the waist, took a sip of sweet wine and said, "As Goddess Eris said, since I already have the most beautiful woman in the world, why should I judge who is the most beautiful goddess? It has nothing to do with you. critical."

Ganymedes really didn't know whether to praise Zeus for his praise, or to curse Zeus for saying such words.

Can you not be so serious at this time?Can't you just comment on one?

Ganymedes approached Zeus's ear, wanting to ask Zeus to judge him casually.He thought it would be good to give Athens, the goddess of wisdom and war, although to some extent it was against his will... But at least Athens won, and no other goddess could beat him.

At this time, Athens said: "Since God the Father cannot make a judgment, we will take the apple to Mount Ida and let the first person we see make a judgment. Who is the most beautiful goddess, who should belong to this golden apple. That's the fairest."

"it is good."

"Just do it."

"That's really fair."

All the goddesses agreed with Athena's proposal.

Ganymedes bit his lower lip involuntarily, and thought to himself, honest Athena, if you say one step later, this title will be yours.What else to comment on.

So Ganymedes didn't have time to say anything, and his head left Zeus's ear, which in the eyes of the gods simply became a scene of intimacy.In the drinking room, they laughed and praised the sweetness of Ganymede.

Ganymede's lips rubbed against Zeus's ear, thinking that Ganymede was making out with him when he was slightly drunk, so he smiled and kissed Ganymede back.

"Hey, you goddesses, do you really think you can compete with me, the goddess of love and beauty, for this golden apple that only the most beautiful goddess can get?" Aphrodite despised the goddesses who were holding on to the golden apple. road.I feel that this golden apple should belong to me.

Under several rounds of beautiful eyes staring at each other, all the goddesses tactfully sat back in their seats.

Only Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, and Hera, the queen of heaven, were left to compete for the glorious golden apple.

"Let's go to Mount Ida now, let the first person we see judge who is the most beautiful goddess, and who should this golden apple belong to?" Aphrodite said.

This sideshow is overwhelming.

The guests who participated in the wedding banquet had to leave directly for this sideshow.

Ganymedes whispered to Zeus, "I'm worried, I'll follow along to have a look."
