[Greek Mythology] Prince of Zeus

The gods from all over are gathered in the Pantheon to participate in the meeting of the gods. Whether they live in the beautiful jungle, the source of the river or the grassy swamp, the gods have come to the palace of the king of the gods.

Zeus sat on the golden throne of the god-king, and Ganymedes stood beside the golden throne, and this matter was of great importance to him.The goddess of justice, Themis, and the queen of heaven, Hera, sit on each side of the left and right corners.

The gods stood in the clean colonnade, worried in their hearts, not knowing what the god king called the gods to hold such a grand meeting, and what they needed to do.

The earthquake god Poseidon also obeyed the call, came from the sea, stood in the center, and asked Zeus why he called the meeting of the gods: "King of Gods, why did you call the meeting of the gods? The Ottos are at war, is it about them?"

"You guessed it, Poseidon. I am for them, and my heart is for those who are about to be destroyed." Zeus looked at the gods in the hall and said.

Zeus glanced at Hermes, and the god made Hermes stand up and explain the battle situation in the world to the gods.Hermes, who has traveled thousands of miles, is the one who knows the situation in the world most clearly.

Hermes looked at the sky outside the Temple of the Gods, estimated the time limit, and said, "The changes in the timeline in the world must be known to all the gods. This is all due to the curse of Cronus, the god of time. There are gods The edict reveals that if the Trojan War had not ended, the world time order would not have returned to normal. Paris, the son of King Priam of Troy, abducted Helen, Queen of Sparta, and eloped with her back to Troy, causing the Achaeans to The attack on Troy. However, because Troy has a wall that can never be destroyed, the Achaeans have besieged it for ten years without success. At this time, the Trojans and the Achaeans will have the fiercest battle. Imperius Achilles, son of Achilles, was filled with rage over the death of his dear friend Patroclus, and he fought again, unstoppable and unstoppable."

"Therefore, you can go to the army of the Trojans and the Achaeans, and help them whichever you like." Zeus said, "And I will stay and sit high on Mount Olympus to watch the battle scenes."

When the king of the gods said so, the hall of the gods instantly became turbulent, whispering, and with the participation of the gods, a fierce battle will be aroused in the world.

The gods have different inclinations. After choosing the camp they want to side with, they rushed to the battlefield one after another.

At this time, the Achaeans gathered in front of the stern boat, and there formed a shipyard.On the other side the Trojans gathered on the heights of the plain.

Ganymedes stood next to the golden throne of the god king, seeing the choices of the gods one by one. For the gods who chose the Trojan camp, he solemnly engraved their names in his heart and was grateful.As for the gods who chose the Achaeans, he also clearly remembered them all.

In the meeting of the gods, Ganymedes did not stand in the center of the hall like other gods, but deliberately stood beside the golden throne of the god king.This move brought more gods into the Trojan camp.Ganymedes said nothing the whole time, but he knew that the wise gods knew how to choose.

Where he stands, shows his status.

The Queen of Heaven, Hera, was not happy about this meeting, and felt angry. The king of the gods said the words sounded fair and just, and placed himself in neutral, but the arrangement of the meeting itself was already unfair.He was unhappy at the fact that as many gods had chosen the side of Troy as there had been chosen the side of Achaeans.

You must know that Troy is only a mere country, but the Achaeans are the entire federation, where all the gods have their favor, and they receive the most solemn and devout sacrifices there.

At this time, the number of gods who chose the camp of Troy was as many as the gods who chose the camp of the entire Achaean Federation!

The queen of heaven, Hera, got up from her seat, flew down Mount Olympus, and went to the shipyard of the Achaeans.

Pallas Athena went with him.

Ganymedes was amazed by this, and couldn't help grabbing the golden throne of the god king: "Athena actually chose the Achaeans..."

Ganymedes thought he got along well with Athena and had a good personal relationship, and Athena had always been good to Troy.At this time, in front of such an important situation, he actually chose the Achaeans?

Did Paris offend Paris because he didn't choose Athens as the most beautiful goddess in the contest for the golden apples?

It seems that he has been brainwashed so badly that he is the most careless in the contest between the United States and cannot be defeated.

"It doesn't matter, Ares, the god of war, chose the Trojans." Zeus said to Ganymedes.

This also surprised Ganymedes.

Ares is not considered brainless, and he knows which camp he chooses can usher in more glory for himself.It is not a hero to win more with more, but to win more with less can seize great achievements.

Even though his mother, the Queen of Heaven, Hera regarded Troy as a mortal enemy and wished for Troy to be destroyed, he also understood that the situation at this time was not a battle situation in the world, but a situation among the gods of Olympus.The stakes are high.What's more, this matter was caused by Aphrodite. For Eros' sake, he should help Aphrodite solve this problem.

Wait for all the gods to go to their preferred camp.

Ganymedes shook the hand of Zeus, the king of the gods, glanced at Zeus, and flew to the world without saying a word.Go to the heights of the plain where the Trojans gathered.

Ganymedes beat the battle drum in his heart, he didn't want to say anything to raise the flag for himself, at this moment, he just poured his thoughts into the battle situation wholeheartedly, vowing to win.

You will get what you want.

Ganymedes believed in Zeus' blessing.

On the back of Zeus's hand was the blazing heat left by Ganymedes' palm, and he could also feel Ganymedes' turbulent heart at this moment, Ganymedes' heartbeat almost jumped to his throat.Holding his hand almost brought a bloody tremor.I don't know if it's the uneasiness of the war situation or the excitement of being in the war.

Zeus, the king of the gods, got up and went to the highest peak of Mount Olympus to watch the battle between the Trojans and the Achaeans, and watch the glorious figure of his prince fighting bloody battles in the world.

Until the gods came among mortal mortals, the Achaeans had always been clearly superior to the Trojans.Achilles, who had been out for a long time, fought again because of the death of his beloved Patroclus.Everything is predestined, and he is about to meet his death.However, rather than being a long-lived hero, he would rather die to avenge his best friend.He knew where he was going to die, but he swore angrily that he would never stop fighting as long as the Trojans who killed Patroclus were not enough.

When the Trojans saw the swift-footed son of Peleus in shining armor, fierce as a murderous god of war, every one of the Trojans trembled with horror.

When the gods appeared on the human battlefield.

If you don't fight the goddess Eris, you will immediately encourage people to fight.

Athena roared from the trenches outside the ramparts, or along the tumultuous shore.

Ares, like a black storm, clamors on the other side, calling to the Trojans, either from the towering city, or from the slopes of Calicologne-sur-Symoes.

In this way, the gods who showed their own special abilities encouraged the two camps to fight, and at the same time aroused their own desire to fight.

The king of the gods and the father of mortals thundered fearfully in the sky, and Poseidon, the earth-shaking god, shook the vast and fertile land and all the high and steep mountains below.All trembled, the ridge and foundations of Ida, rich in springs, the walls of Troy and the ships of Achaeus.

The participation of the gods intensified the turbulent and chaotic war situation. The soldiers knew that they would die here, and none of them retreated. Under the excitement and protection of the gods, they bravely killed the enemy to the last drop of blood.

A place of war is no longer a place of death and blood, but a place of honor.

Ganymedes came to Ares and offered to make friends with Ares, thanking Ares for his wise choice.In war, it is better to get the help of the God of War. He will greatly increase the morale of the entire Troy camp, and make every soldier and general show their utmost ability, and even break through the limit to win honor.

"Thank you for your choice. I hope you know that this is very important to me and Troy." Ganymedes said to Ares from the bottom of his heart.

Ares, the god of war, shook Ganymedes' hand of friendship with a smile, and said, "It's nothing. I have a mortal friend who is also in the Trojan camp. War should be fought for friends, isn't it?"

When Ganymedes heard the words of the warlike and brave god of war in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little fond of Ares, and even felt that he was admirable.

Ganymedes smiled, and firmly held Ares's hand with friendship, "You are exactly what you said, for the sake of friends and for the country."

Ares said: "Now, I'm going to fight against the domineering Athena. You see, she is so arrogant and arrogant. She disregarded your friendship with Troy and took care of Troy just for a golden apple. The camp of the Sri Lankans. I also have a personal enmity with her, she owes me a debt that she has to pay, and let me deal with her properly."

When Athena heard Ares speak ill of herself in front of Ganymedes and sow discord between herself and Ganymedes, Athena immediately rushed to Ares with a spiked shield.

Athens said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, your mother Hera is angry at you because you betrayed the Achaeans and went to help the proud Trojans, and curse you to suffer."

The humiliation of jointly losing the title of most beautiful goddess put Athena and Hera on the same side.Ganymedes thought so.

Athena turned to Ganymedes and said: "Ganymedes, please don't think too much, I still love you in my heart. However, this battle cannot be discussed at the same time. I have helped Troy in many places and sheltered you. Troy, and the Trojans--even the son of King Priam--give Aphrodite a shame, and deprive me of the good name and glory that should be mine. Troy deserves my punishment and anger. Let them remember what it takes to play with the gods."

"They already know very well," said Ganymedes.Just as Ganymedes already knew that everything was determined by fate, he did not want to argue with Athena.Although Athena, who was so mad at the name of the most beautiful goddess, forgot to bribe Aphrodite, he also bribed Aphrodite first.

Ganymedes and Ares whispered a few words, stroked Ares' neck, and glanced at Athena's tasseled shield, telling Ares that he should guard against Athena.

Ganymedes stepped aside, leaving the field to Athena and Ares.May this victory belong to Ares, the god of war.

The whole plain was full of troops, shining with the bronze brilliance of warriors and chariots, and the earth trembled under the galloping steps.

Amidst the roars of the war horses and generals, it seemed as if the world was spinning.

Ganymedes entered the camp of Troy, but he did not appear in front of everyone. He released the three-headed dog Cerberus, and ordered the three-headed dog, salivating deadly venom, to serve the soldiers as quickly as possible in the army. His bronze spear was smeared with venom, and Cerberus was so fast that mortals could not see him.

When the Trojans threw bronze spears at the Achaeans, even if they just cut their skin, the deadly venom would seep into the Achaeans' bodies in an instant, paralyze their nerves, and make them die painfully but quickly. die.In this way, the Achaeans' bronze helmets and iron arms were no longer difficult to conquer.

Ganymedes could not use the power of thunder and lightning shared with Zeus because he could not use the power of the god-king to win the war.

In this way, Ganymedes calculated the chips in his hands in his mind, and he must use every power he can use carefully until the battle reveals the outcome.

Athena and Ares were fighting fiercely. Athens picked up a huge and sharp stone on the ground with her powerful hands, and threw it at Ares who was violently waving his war gun. The black stone on the ground.

Unexpectedly, Ares flicked his head sideways, swung his gun backhand, and hit the stone back at Athena.Athena lifted the spiked shield, and the sharp stone was shattered before it.

Ares secretly screamed in his heart, thanks to the advice of Ganymedes, otherwise the sharp stone might cut his neck.Ares regained his bravery, grabbed the spear in one hand and grabbed the spear in the other, and stabbed at Athens with a cross.It was difficult for Athens to attack and defend. Athens held a round shield in his hand and dodged from left to right, trying to catch Ares' flaws and give him a fatal blow. This is not only his best shield, but also his most powerful weapon.

Athena is no lower than Ares, but her figure is more agile and vigorous.

Aphrodite saw that Ares and Athena were inseparable. At this time, Athena was being beaten back by Ares, and she couldn't help but want to help Ares. Being able to have the upper hand in combat should also allow Ares to win the honor of defeating Athena.

Unexpectedly, Athena was able to take care of all directions while fighting Ares, saw through Aphrodite's attack, and punched Aphrodite on the chest. Look at Aphrodite's dissatisfaction everywhere.

Aphrodite's heart and knees immediately went limp, tangled together in pain.

Ares was distracted by this, and was sent flying a long distance by the spiked shield thrown by Athens, and fell beside the Achaean horse.

Athena watched Aphrodite collapse on the ground, and uttered boastful words: "If all the gods who fought on the side of the Trojans fought against the Achaeans clad in bronze, they could fight like Aphrodite. If Frodite was so firm and brave when she came to fight me in order to help Ares, then we would have ended this cruel war long ago and destroyed the fortified city of Troy."

When Athena said this, the white-armed goddess Hera smiled when she saw it.

Ganymedes released his favorite Andrew to run on the battlefield like a white mist, reporting the battle situation and situation of Ganymedes at the first time.

When Ganymedes learned that Ares had been knocked down, he immediately poured the god of war with nectar and wine to boost his fighting spirit.Ares immediately appeared beside Athens again, and fought with him again.After drinking the alcohol, he was able to concentrate more on the battle with Athens, and the force of his whole body was gathered to the tips of his feet and hands.

"Let Aphrodite go, your opponent is me, Athena." Ares glared at Athena.

"If you still have strength." Athens said with a smile without fear.

Ganymedes took Aphrodite away from the battlefield to save her from the humiliation of Athena and Hera. After all, she is now on the side of Troy and should not let the gods who stand in the Achaean camp Humiliated.

"The battlefield is not suitable for you, Aphrodite." Ganymede said, "Please go where you should go and display your beauty and divine power."

Aphrodite bit her lip and nodded, "Athena who has no brute force, she just hates my beauty more than her."

Ganymedes thought that as a warrior, he would rather see Athena and Ares fight than Athena and Aphrodite. If the two goddesses fight, the scene will not be good.

Hera, the queen of heaven, was deprived of her divine power and could not personally display her divine power to participate in the war, so she urged Poseidon to go to fight Apollo.

Poseidon, the powerful god of earthquakes, said to Apollo, the god of archery: "Phobos, why do we still stand idly by while the other gods have already done so? Now I let you take a step, you do it first, because you are younger than me, I am older and more experienced, it seems unfair for me to bully the younger generation if I do it first."

Apollo replied to Poseidon, "Earthquake God, you are my uncle. If I fight you for those poor mortals, you will think that I have lost my mind."

Apollo felt that he should not fight his uncle.

"Out of mind? I don't even understand why you still choose to help the Trojan camp. Are you too forgetful? You have obviously forgotten that we are the only two gods who have suffered so much for the city of Troy. At that time we According to the order of Zeus, serve the mortals with hard labor, build an indestructible city wall for Troy, and even go to Mount Ida to herd sheep and cattle for the king of Troy. But when the hard labor was over, the king of Troy, Laomedon, broke his promise and not only refused to pay us He also threatened to drive us away. He claimed to tie up our hands and feet, send us to a distant island for sale, and even threatened to cut off our ears with a sharp copper knife. We had to leave him full of resentment Go back. Now you are doing favors to the people of Troy, and you don't want to join us in the destruction of the proud Trojans and their noble wives and children."

"It's all in the past. There are more important things in the world than holding grudges." Apollo, the God of Light, replied.On the matter of holding grudges, he has already received God's punishment, learned a lesson, changed his mentality, and no longer care about such trivial things.

Apollo made a gesture to leave Poseidon.

Seeing this, Artemis, the goddess of the moon who was in the Trojan camp with Apollo, couldn't help running over and sharply reprimanded Apollo: "My archer, you actually escaped and let Poseidon get the honor he didn't deserve. Give up all victory! Fool, why do you carry your shining silver arrows in vain? May I never hear you in my father's palace vainly boasting to the immortal gods that you can fight Poseidon alone .”

When Artemis said this, Apollo dropped his expression and did not answer.

Hera, the Queen of Heaven, heard the words of Artemis, the goddess of the moon, and felt that her plan had been disturbed. She immediately flew into a rage, and immediately reprimanded the goddess' harsh words: "Shameless mad dog, how dare you fight against me today? Want to fight against me?" It is not an easy task, although you are an archer, Zeus made you a lioness of a woman, killing people at will, chasing wild deer or other wild animals in the mountains and forests is undoubtedly far more interesting than fighting against the strong. If you want, let us compete, and when we fight, you will find out how I am better than you."

Ganymedes appeared in front of Apollo and said to Poseidon, "Poseidon, king of the sea, since you are on the side of the Achaeans, please let me be your opponent."

While talking to him with a voice that only Apollo can hear: "My friend, please don't pay attention to the words of the moon goddess Artemis, you should concentrate on dealing with Achilles. Defeating the grief and anger of losing friends, He is unstoppable and unstoppable, which is the key to Troy's victory."

Apollo and Ganymedes looked at each other, nodded, and disappeared among the gods.

Hera said that, grabbed the two wrists of the goddess of hunting with her left hand, pulled off the bow and arrow from her shoulder with her right hand, and hit her on the cheek with Artemis' own weapon with a grinning grin, causing her to dodge continuously, and the flying arrows fell out of the arrow pot.Artemis ran away crying, like a mountain pigeon, avoiding the pursuit of fierce birds and flying into the jagged rock crevice. It was not destined to be caught by the fierce birds.The goddess ran away crying like this, leaving the bow and arrow behind.

This is the fight between the two goddesses that Ganymedes did not want to see. He thought it was not something a warrior should intervene in, so he chose to ignore it and concentrate on dealing with Poseidon.

At this time, Hermes, the God of Good Luck, stood in the camp of the Achaeans, and said to Leto, the goddess of the night, who stood in the camp of Troy with her sons and daughters: "Goddess Leto, how can I not I will fight you, and it is not easy to fight against the wives of the kings of the gods. You can brag to the immortal gods as you like, as if you defeated me with your own great strength."

After Hermes finished speaking, Leto went to pick up the curved bow and the arrows scattered all over the ground, splashing billowing dust. After picking up his daughter's bow, he turned around and flew towards Artemis.

Artemis wept bitterly and fell into the arms of his mother, the goddess of the night, Leto.

Leto hugged Artemis and comforted his daughter.

Artemis cried: "I will complain to God the Father that his wife Hera the White Arm beat me, and she provoked quarrels and discord among the immortal gods."

When Poseidon saw Ganymedes stand up to be his opponent, he couldn't help being surprised: "Ganymedes?"
