[Greek Mythology] Prince of Zeus

Priam led the army back to the city with a victorious spirit.

Ganymedes suddenly felt the white-horse and golden-covered chariot he was riding soar into the sky, and the four divine horses kicked their hooves in mid-air and galloped towards Ida Shanding.

Ganymedes met the smiling face of God King Zeus, and the golden chariot stopped on Mount Ida.Like a brilliant sun.

Ganymedes showed his lower body in front of his eyes, and in a blink of an eye, he had already sat beside him, sitting with him in the golden chariot.

"Troy is victorious, my prince, you will no longer have to wear a worried look on your face." Zeus put his arm on Ganymede's shoulder and said.

"Yes, Troy won." Ganymedes said this, but he felt unreal in his heart. Could it be that this has really reversed the fate of Troy being destroyed?

"Then, you can already return to Mount Olympus." Zeus said, the days of Ganymedes in the world made the god king feel long and empty.Even seeing Ganymedes fighting bloody battles is a pleasure to watch.

——This is an inexplicable feeling, he didn't feel this way before.There was a faint thought throbbing at the temple, but it had calmed down now, after he sat shoulder to shoulder with Ganymedes.So the bulge in the temple was ignored.

"Please give me one more night. Tonight Troy will definitely celebrate their triumph. After ten years of war, they finally won a complete victory because of your sentence." Ganymedes said, and he repays with gratitude.

Zeus responded, "Okay."

A night on earth was but a moment to Zeus, and he was generous in that.

"Do you want to come together? Like we used to go to your festival, dress up as a mortal, so that no one will recognize you. You can join us to enjoy this hard-won victory." Gaga Nymedes said enthusiastically.

But Zeus said: "No, tonight's victory belongs to you and your people. You can celebrate with them and enjoy tonight's feast as you like."

Zeus was considerate and thought it would be better for Ganymedes, who fought so hard in the war, that he should get together with his country and its people tonight, relax and enjoy themselves with everyone, instead of To accompany myself.Then there will be countless nights that are as permanent as the world.But this night was the only night to celebrate his victory in the Trojan War, which he personally won.

Ganymedes smiled, looked at Zeus, felt Zeus' kindness and touch, and said sweetly: "Okay, I will return to Mount Olympus at dawn, by your side. At that time, you will return Did not wake up, still immersed in sleep. When you wake up, you will see me next to your face when you open your eyes. In the world after that, I will have nothing to worry about, and I will accompany you happily and comfortably every day .”

Zeus was also drawn by Ganymedes' words, unconsciously showing a bright smile, "I will watch you at Olympus tonight to enjoy your own victory celebration."

Ganymedes stood shoulder to shoulder with Zeus, and he was in no hurry to return to Troy.It is also a kind of enjoyment to sit with Zeus at this time and look at the plain from the top of Mount Ida that has been devastated by the war.

There were dead bodies, vultures hovering low, bloody spears and armor, discarded bucklers and chariots.

This may seem cruel, but it certainly doesn't make a bigger point.

—Triumph of Troy.

Calm was restored to the plain, and peace was made by corpses.

They all died with honor, it's not worth the pain, it's the honor.

Ganymedes felt his shoulders relax, perhaps because of the relationship with Zeus, Zeus always gave him a sense of comfort, the previous doubts had faded in his mind, and he recognized the sentence of the king of gods in his heart.This is how the Trojan War ended.

victory.

There will be no other.

The wind that blows to Mount Ida carries the bloody smell of the plain war, but the sun bakes them warm.

Ganymedes looked down at the blood-soaked plain in the distance with piercing eyes, and felt a hint of sweetness in his mouth, as if he had just drunk the sweetest juice from a mountain spring.

Until evening comes.

Ganymedes left Zeus and returned to Troy in his golden chariot from Mount Ida.

The return of Ganymedes was immediately congratulated by the people of Troy.Priam and his sons and princes rushed to meet Ganymedes.

Priam helped Ganymedes from the golden chariot with his own hands.

"Your heroic demeanor on the battlefield made the Achaeans frightened, and the Trojans were able to win in one fell swoop because of your leadership." Priam said, "Everyone thought that you had returned to the side of the king of the gods. Thinking of you coming to Troy again. This makes everyone happy after winning the war."

"I will not miss the night of victory in the Ten Years' War in Troy." Ganymedes also said with a joyful smile.

Ganymedes chatted happily with princes, nobles and generals, and comforted the soldiers who died of comrades and relatives in the war. They prayed to Ganymedes as a god for luck, and Ganymedes Si blesses them one by one.

"You only need to pray and sacrifice in front of the statue of the patron saint of Zeus, the god king, and Troy will soon heal the damage caused by the war and restore the prosperity of the past," Ganymedes said to the people, "Troy will have good weather and good weather." , more prosperous and stronger than ever. Demeter, the goddess of fertility, will bless Troy, and Hermes, the god of business, will make it happen."

Ganymedes was thinking about what kind of compensation the gods who stood in the losing camp would make this time.They should be wise, proactive, before being displeased by Zeus.

"We will do this every day, to the King of Gods and to you," said Priam on behalf of the people.

Those around him repeatedly agreed, expressing that they would sincerely implement Ganymedes' clear path for the future development of Troy.

While the crowd was rejoicing, Priam received a message from the warriors from the Achaeans.

"Aha!" cried Priam, "Ganymedes, as you said. The Achaeans have retreated, but a huge wooden horse has been left on the beach. Go and find out. Intelligence armies are surrounding it."

The Achaeans probably used it to build a wooden horse, tricked the Trojans into the city, and broke out at night to attack the city of Troy. ——This is what Ganymedes held a grand funeral for Patroclus in Achilles, and Ganymedes convened the generals to emphasize in the battle memories.

Because Ganymedes didn't know when this would happen, he brought it up early in the morning to make everyone pay extra attention.If you see suspicious objects, you must not drag them into the city carelessly.

Priam originally wanted to say that Ganymedes was a god, but he knew that Ganymedes was already a god, so the praise that he was going to blurt out was obviously not enough.He also had no doubts about why Ganymedes knew so well, because Ganymedes was a god.

Ganymedes nodded in response to the news, and said thoughtfully: "Obviously the Achaeans are unwilling to retreat, this is indeed a good last move."

"What shall we do?" Priam asked Ganymedes for advice.

At this moment, another informant had caught an Achaean.Report to Priam: "King, we have captured a surviving Achaean near the great wooden horse."

Ganymedes signaled the Priam to let the Achaean speak and listen to what he had to say.

The Achaean glanced at Priam, and the young, beautiful, god-like man beside him, and said nervously and anxiously: "This wooden horse is used by the Achaeans to sacrifice to the goddess Athena. .We estimate that the Trojans will destroy it, which will cause the wrath of the gods. But if the Trojans bring the wooden horse into the city, it will bring the blessing of the gods to the Trojans, so the Achaeans put the wooden horse It was made so large that the Trojans could not pull it into the city."

Ganymedes laughed in his heart, and said, his acting skills are not bad.

Priam looked at Ganymedes, because he knew that the wooden horse was a sacrificial object of Athena, and it was clear that the Achaeans had come up with a good idea for both.Whether it destroys or brings back the Trojan horse, they can give the Trojans a good look.

Ganymedes said calmly: "Since Athena has sided with the Achaeans in this war, it is obvious that we no longer need her blessing. Since the Achaeans have been defeated, why don't we Let them fulfill their wish once so as to give them a little comfort? Let’s destroy the wooden horse on the beach as the Achaeans think. I wonder how angry Athens will be? Anyway, I think this It doesn't matter, she has no right to be angry about this matter. It shouldn't be Troy who is guarded by the king of gods. I hope she won't be the third god to be punished to serve mortals in hard labor."

When the Achaeans heard what the young man beside Priam said, Priam still looked at his face and actions, and suddenly his expression changed, and he broke into a cold sweat in shock.

This means that he and his comrades hiding in the Trojan horse will all suffer a tragic death.

Priam said, "As you said."

Priam ordered his subordinates to go and destroy the Trojan horse on the spot.

Ganymedes smiled reassuringly.

In this way, it seems that there is really nothing to worry about.

Night falls.

A grand celebration dinner was held in the whole city of Troy, which was extremely grand.
