[Greek Mythology] Prince of Zeus

The author has something to say: The timeline of the extra episode is after Ganymedes was first turned into a water bottle.

ps: The following is actually a brain hole that came to mind n years ago

The river god Cephessus and the water goddess Liriope had a child named Narcissus.

His parents went to the oracle to know what the future fate of the child would be.The oracle said: "Do not let him know himself."

The river god Cephessus and the water goddess Liriope remembered the oracle, and kept Narcissus from seeing their own reflections.

The white horses pass by, and time flies.

Narcissus grew up to be a beautiful boy, but he never knew what he looked like.He loves to run and hunt in the woods with a bow and arrow on his back, spending his green years freely and happily.

The goddesses playing in the woods were deeply attracted by Narcissus' beauty and grace, and they were all willing to get close to him and pour out their love.

Narcissus didn't like anyone, he was indifferent to all the goddesses, and rejected each of them with conceit and arrogance.

He just loves to run and hunt happily in the forest with his bow and arrow.

In grief, the goddesses raised their hands and knelt down, praying to the gods: "I hope he will fall in love with someone one day, but he will never be loved by the other party!"

The most beautiful person in the world, Prince Ganymedes of Troy, ordered Zeus to bring him back to Mount Olympus and make him a god.

Because of Hera's tricks and jealousy, she was turned into a water bottle.

Zeus poured wine for himself from a transparent water bottle made by Ganymedes, but Ganymedes' tears were poured out.

Zeus drank the tears of Ganymede, and longing and love burned coldly in his heart.

He could have misunderstood Ganymedes and Ganymedes' love for him.

What an irreparable mistake.

Now that he has lost Ganymede, he can only be accompanied by tears. Even if he looks up and can see the Aquarius that raised Ganymede into Aquarius, the wound in Dian Dian's heart cannot be healed.

Zeus has never loved anyone, no matter man or god, after having love for the only time, he lost love.

It's like a chasm in the universe, a chasm in time, the heart is swallowed, and it can't be repaired to recall the feeling of having it again.

Love is beautiful, pleasurable and refreshing to the whole universe, even the immortal gods.The world becomes bright and clear in the eyes, and everything is full of charming feeling.

It has long been a long time since the Fates have seen the King of the Gods sitting on the Olympian throne morosely.

His indifferent air-conditioning plunged the whole world into depression.

The three goddesses of fate came to Zeus and asked their father god, Zeus, the king of the gods: "Noble and supreme king of gods, why do you show such an unfortunate look? You have been immersed in the wine of tears for too long. You must Rejuvenate the spirit and revive all things."

After Zeus was turned into a water bottle in Ganymedes, the impermanence of Zeus made the gods feel uncomfortable.

Zeus has tried thousands of ways to restore Ganymede to his original body, but all to no avail.

Now the three goddesses of fate came to him and advised him.

"Have you found a way to help me?" said Zeus, referring to the way to bring Ganymedes back to him.

"Please go to the world, where you will meet a method that is beneficial to you." After the three goddesses of fate finished speaking, they disappeared in front of Zeus.

Return to the God King Palace.

Zeus carefully placed the transparent water bottle transformed by Ganymedes in a magnificent hall with guards and security. In the huge and magnificent hall, only this item was placed, and it was called the water bottle. The residence is not too much.

Zeus stands on Mount Olympus.

Suddenly, he saw a young man running and hunting in the woods of the world. He looked happy and happy, just like he once stood on Mount Olympus and watched Ganymedes hunting.

Also a boy who loves hunting.

There was—just not so long ago.

His prince, Ganymedes, was also as happy, lovable, and charming as this human youth.

And love yourself.

Just like my love for him.

The feeling of love is good, pleasurable and refreshing to the whole universe, even the immortal gods.The world becomes bright and clear in the eyes, and everything is full of charming feeling.

Zeus came to the woods of the world, he wanted to have the feeling of love again, so that his heart that was sealed together with Ganymedes regained the perception.

Running towards him with a bow and string in front of him was also a beautiful young man, about the same age as Ganymedes.

Zeus suddenly wanted him, and Zeus knew he would have it, that he would have his love.

But how to get it?

Zeus thought for a moment, turned himself into the appearance of the beautiful boy in front of him, even dressed up all the time, and also carried a bow and arrow on his back.

Zeus thought of Ganymedes whom he loved, and this change in himself made him think of Ganymedes, the only and most beautiful person in the world whom he loved.As if in this way, he could feel the distance from Ganymede, which had turned into a water bottle.

Zeus turned into the human and beautiful youthful appearance that Ganymedes once had, and stood at the same height as him to experience the feelings he once had.perception of the world.

An arrow shot like Zeus.

Zeus didn't dodge or dodge—or he even appeared in the range of the arrow, which was supposed to be an arrow aimed at a stag.

This discovery also delighted Zeus, which was also the favorite prey of Ganymedes.

The arrow shot through Zeus' arm.

Abraded his youthful white arm, and bright red blood flowed down from his arm.

He tilted his head and stretched out his hand to caress his wound. It turned out that this is the feeling that a young man’s body would have. Perhaps Ganymedes had suffered such an injury before, and it may not be exactly the same—because Zeus knew Ganymede well. Des's hunting skills are excellent, and he will not encounter this kind of danger, but perhaps, more or less, he has experienced the feeling of bleeding and pain.

throughout his growing life.

It must be as charming and interesting as his flawless, even the flawed pain.

"I'm sorry, are you okay? I shot you!" Narcissus saw that his arrow had hit a young man, feeling worried in his heart, he hurried to Zeus and asked Zeus with concern.

"No, I'm fine." Zeus let go, letting Narcissus see the wound.

"God, you have shed a lot of blood," Narcissus, who has always been indifferent to others, saw that his mistake had brought pain to a young man, and he couldn't help being concerned about it. He said and tore off his clothes. He bandaged the wound of the young man in front of him, "I didn't notice you, you suddenly appeared in front of my arrow, but this is all my fault, I sincerely hope to get your forgiveness."

Narcissus finished bandaging the wound for Zeus, with shining eyes, he looked carefully at Zeus' eyes with his own true feelings, and suddenly he noticed the beauty of the young man in front of him, his black eyelashes curled up like weeds, he was top grade His full and blood-colored lips, not to mention his pale golden curly hair as bright as the morning light.

Narcissus could not help seeing the god, for he had never seen such a beautiful person, full of divine brilliance.And this is by no means the impressive temperament that ordinary gods have, this is the impressive temperament and brilliance that only the pure and supreme gods have.

"You are so beautiful." Narcissus couldn't help blurting out.

"Thank you. I came to the woods just to hunt. I know this is an unpredictable accident," Zeus said. "Therefore, you will have my forgiveness, as long as you are willing to tell me your name."

"Of course, of course, my name is Narcissus." Narcissus replied obediently.Even now, said Zeus, you will be forgiven, if you will jump into the trap set by the hunter in the woods, and taunt Narcissus, and Narcissus will do it for the beautiful boy. Forgive him, and make up for the hurt you have caused him, and gladly do so.

"Very good, now I know your name, Narcissus." Zeus smiled charmingly.The irresistible pure and white beauty full of youthful temperament.

Narcissus was infected by the smile of Zeus and showed his most beautiful smile, "You are so cute, I hurt you, but you only ask to know my name, you know you can ask me for more, in order to make up for it." I'm willing to do anything to hurt you, beautiful boy."

When Narcissus said these words, he suddenly understood the feelings of those goddesses who wanted to express their love to him.

It turns out that beauty can make people let go of all indifference and melt thin ice.Conceit and arrogance just because they disdain to talk to each other.

Beauty would make no one wish to be indifferent to it.

Therefore, Narcissus treated the beautiful young man in front of him with enthusiasm. Apart from his beauty, he loved his every move, the movement of the corners of his lips and the corners of his eyes.

"For me, that's enough. Narcissus, since I've already been hurt and I know the pain of being hurt, why do I still need to hurt?" Zeus said kindly, as pure as a virgin who was not stained by the dust and smoke of the world. Born teenager.

"Ah, your heart is as beautiful as your beauty." Narcissus couldn't help sighing from the bottom of his heart.

Zeus showed his smile again because of this sentence, and this time he also came from the bottom of his sincere heart.

As he thought of Ganymede, so he thought of Ganymede, and Ganymede's mind was as beautiful as his beauty, the most beautiful thing in the world.

Zeus was very happy to hear the praise of himself and Ganymedes from others.

This made Zeus feel closer to Ganymedes, and he was feeling the pain Ganymedes once had for the world.

All this made Zeus feel good. He was swallowed into the gap between the universe, the heart of the abyss in time, and he seemed to gradually recover a little bit of perception.

But at the same time, Zeus also felt the bait of Narcissus.

"I came to this forest for the first time, and I don't know where is a good place to hunt. Would you like to go with me and have a good harvest?" Zeus said, setting a deeper trap.

"Of course, I am very willing to hunt with you. I thought you would never make the best proposal in the world. I am anxious about it." Seeing the beautiful boy in front of him, Narcissus said what was in his heart. The words of the right thing, could not be happier.

"But I didn't ask for your name. Beautiful boy, can you tell me your name? It must be a lovely and charming name like your beautiful voice." Narcissus said.

Zeus said, "My name is Love."

Because this is the form that Zeus transformed into in order to have the feeling of love.

Zeus has never loved anyone, no matter man or god, after having love for the only time, he lost love.

Know the taste from the marrow.He wants to embrace love again.

Otherwise he will be unlucky.

And he knew he would do it.

He will not be unlucky.

"Love?" Narcissus asked in surprise, and then smiled in surprise, "This is really a name that couldn't be more suitable for you."

The smile that Zeus then showed made Narcissus feel dazzled by the light. He couldn't help but hold Zeus's hand and lead Zeus to hunt in the woods he was familiar with.

He seemed to hear the sound of his life sprouting, even though running and hunting in the woods was his favorite thing, but only then did he feel that his life was really bright and alive.

It's like drinking the sweet morning dew in spring, and it enters the throat and reaches the depths of the heart.

"Be careful with your arm wounds, it would be nice if I didn't shoot you, then you would be able to hunt more happily without worrying about your wounds, or the wounds I inflicted on you because of hunting. Come more pain." Narcissus could only show sadness when he thought about this.

"It's nothing, Narcissus, please don't worry about me. I like you very much. Your friendliness comforts me. Being with you makes my hunting in the woods no longer monotonous." Zeus said, " Since this is the wound you inflicted on me, it is a sweet wound."

Narcissus was completely intoxicated when he heard Zeus speak, "What a touching word, love, your words are more intoxicating than fine wine."

And Zeus's words pointed out another important point to Narcissus, that is, the monotony of hunting alone in the woods, which Narcissus had never realized before, because he loved running in the woods so much Hunting, even if the goddesses in the woods wanted to get close to him and join him, he coldly rejected them all.

But now, Zeus' words made Narcissus aware of this problem.

After today, if the hunting in the woods is only for oneself without love, how dull and boring it will be.It will never be as beautiful as this moment, making people want to pray to the gods, may time stop.

The things you once loved, after being covered by more love, fade away more love, then the things you once liked will no longer feel as wonderful as they used to be.

Just like after drinking honeydew, what else would be as good?

Zeus pulled the bowstring with his injured arm, and shot it like a rabbit with strange fur. harm.

Narcissus admired Zeus's archery skills. Even if he loved hunting as much as he did, he was far from being able to shoot everything with perfect accuracy like the beautiful young man in front of him, and he was even more capable of hitting swift objects a hundred paces away.

What's more, he was still injured in his arm.

What an admirable and yearning young man.

The wound is like nothing to him, his eyes are firmly locked on the prey, and there is nothing he wants and cannot get.Whether it is animals or birds, rare birds or exotic animals.

"This is really a bumper harvest, unprecedented!" Narcissus exclaimed.

Narcissus ran over and picked up the rabbit that was cowering on the ground, and pulled out the arrows from the rabbit's ears.Then hugged back to Zeus.

"It must hurt," said Narcissus. "It is beautiful. It is different."

Zeus also reached out and touched the rabbit's ear canal: "I can heal its wound, I just shot it very lightly."

"How to do it?" Narcissus asked.

Zeus glanced at Narcissus with a smile on his lips, then leaned over and kissed the rabbit's ear.

When Zeus looked up, his insane lips left the rabbit's ears.Narcissus saw the wound on the rabbit's ear healed, and now in his arms was a rare and unharmed rabbit.

"My God, this is amazing." Narcissus said in surprise.

It's magical, whether it's a bunny healing a wound, or a loving kiss.

For a moment, Narcissus wanted to turn into the wounded rabbit in his arms, so that he could get a kiss of love.

If injury can get it all, he wants injury.

"This is my talent." Zeus said.

"Love, you are the embodiment of all the beauties in the world. Of course this is your talent, which is wonderful." Narcissus said happily.

On this day, the two enjoyed themselves until very late, and neither of them had any intention of returning.

Until the night falls, the moonlight hangs.

Narcissus thought about the beautiful boys around him, they couldn't stay too late, because as the first boy who came to this forest, it would be dangerous to go back.

Narcissus led Zeus out of the woods and said, "We are parting, love, and please tell me truthfully, will I see you again? Today's hunting with you is the most wonderful thing in my life." thing."

Zeus said with a smile: "Narcissus, you will see me again. We can meet here. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I am also willing to be with you."

Narcissus' face, following Zeus's words, showed the happiest smile in his life.

That day, Narcissus returned home.

His father, the river god Cephessus, and his mother, the water goddess Liriope, saw that their child had never seen a beautiful smile on his face, and returned home with unprecedented happiness.

"Has something good happened?" asked Narcissus' parents, who saw Narcissus holding a rare rabbit in his arms.

"Father, mother, I fell in love with someone." Narcissus replied.

"Really? That's wonderful, you've never liked anyone," said his mother, who was worried because her beautiful son rejected any goddess or human woman who wooed him, feeling that she Such a character of his son will do him harm.

Now, she heard Narcissus say that he was in love with someone, and Liriope, the goddess of water, could not wait to share his joy with the child.

"His name is Love," said Narcissus happily. "If you see him, you will fall in love with him immediately. He is so beautiful. Love is the embodiment of beauty in the world."

"Indeed," said the river god Cephessus, teasing his child.

But they were all happy that their son finally had affection.

After that, Zeus came to the world again.

Meeting with Narcissus, Zeus's every move, every frown and smile fascinated Narcissus.

Narcissus lived every day happily, and that was the most wonderful and happy time in his life. He was either meeting with love, or waiting to meet with love.

He knows the beauty of life, but he never knew that life is so beautiful.He finally knew the true meaning of life.

Finally, Zeus made Narcissus fall in love with him.

Narcissus fell in love with Ai, and fell in love with this beautiful boy who looked exactly like himself.

However, one day, Zeus did not come.

After that, Narcissus never saw love again.

Zeus quit his game, and he had to realize that his heart couldn't mend what it felt like to have it again.

Ganymede is irreplaceable.

Even if you play with him as a young man in the world, the feeling of getting closer to Ganymede is not the same as the uninterrupted distance that Ganymede is by your side.

Love for Ganymede is irreplaceable.

Ganymedes was his only love.

Narcissus was no longer happy.

Even his previous favorite running and hunting could no longer arouse his interest, especially after the two of them were together, how monotonous and painful the hunting in the forest alone seemed.

Before this, Narcissus had never felt alone.He resisted the entanglement of anyone who favored him who wanted to be with him.

Before that, he felt that as long as he and hunting in the forest were enough in the world.

Only after being together.

Only then will you understand the true meaning of loneliness.

Narcissus knew the true meaning of life, and then he knew the true meaning of loneliness.

until one day.

Narcissus went hunting in the woods again, thinking that he might meet love again.

Narcissus walked and found a clear lake.

No shepherd has yet discovered the lake, so no goat has ever drunk it, no wild animal has ever played about it, and no bird has ever flitted past it.There was not a dead branch or leaf on the lake.The lake is surrounded by green grass, tall rocks shade the sun's light and heat.Narcissus felt a little tired, so he came to the lake, and bent down to drink a few mouthfuls of cool water.

Suddenly, love really appeared in front of his eyes.

He found love again.

Love is in the water before his eyes.Bright eyes, bright red lips, golden curly hair like Apollo, the god of light, and an ivory neck all appeared in the water one by one.Love, is still so beautiful.

Narcissus showed joy, "Love, you finally came to see me."

Narcissus stretched out his arms to embrace the reflection in the water with great joy.

However, as soon as his finger touched the water, the reflection turned into sparkling waves and disappeared.Narcissus didn't know why, wondering, he remembered the kiss of love.

So he used his lips to gently kiss the surface of the water.

After a while, love really reappeared in the water, kissing herself.

Narcissus smiled happily, and the kiss of love healed him, his wounded heart.

Now, love reappeared in front of his eyes again, smiling with himself, smiling at himself.

And I got a kiss of love.

If injury can get it all, he wants injury.

Narcissus remembered what he had thought in his heart before, and his depression suddenly became relieved. It turned out that the hurt and pain in his heart before was for the kiss of love.Then everything he suffered was willing to do so.

Love hadn't left him, it was just a lovely puzzle, and now he had solved it and got Love's kiss, and Love kissed himself, and he loved himself as much as he loved him.

Everything that love does is charming.

Narcissus thought happily in his heart.

In this way, Narcissus lingered by the lake, looking at his own reflection in the lake without feeling tired or hungry.He was obsessed with his own reflection in the water.

A smile appeared on his face, thinking of the good times when he and Ai ran and hunted in the woods, recalling that Ai's every move made him so fascinated and addicted that he couldn't extricate himself.

When Narcissus got up and stood away from the water, he saw that Love also stood away from him.

Is this because love is mad at herself for staying away from him?

As Narcissus stood nearer to the water, he saw that Love was also nearer to him.Then Narcissus smiled again.

And Narcissus's wanting to touch will make love go away, but his soft kiss will make love come back to him.

"Naughty love." Narcissus said with a smile.

He saw that love was also smiling at himself.

Narcissus just lingered by the lake, unwilling to leave, unwilling to be far away from love.

He just looked at his own reflection in the water, gazing affectionately with love.

Time passed quickly, and the days passed day after day.

Narcissus still stayed by the lake looking at his reflection in the water, accompanied by love, he never wanted to leave love, he was afraid that he would never see love again, which made him anxious.

Narcissus stayed with his own reflection in the water, accompanied by his "love" without eating, drinking or sleeping. His body was exhausted and extremely painful, but it did not interfere with his thoughts.The bright red had faded from his lips, and his youth was drained.

Finally one day.

Narcissus fell down gently on the ground, resting his head on the tender grass by the lake, and closed his eyes forever, which were touching and deeply in love with himself.There is a smile on the corner of his mouth, because he and his love are together.Until he closed his eyes, they were together, not separated.

He was relieved and content that love had not left him.

The goddesses came to mourn Narcissus after hearing the news.They felt deep grief from the bottom of their hearts.

Zeus, on Mount Olympus, saw Narcissus drowning in his own reflection in the water, devoting himself to the work of his life.

So he came to Narcissus and turned Narcissus into a narcissus.That way he could look at himself forever, with his own reflection.

Where Narcissus fell, a pale yellow daffodil grew, exuding a faint fragrance.Golden-yellow stamens adorn white petal centers against a backdrop of slender green leaves.It grows obliquely on the bank, and its beautiful reflection is clearly reflected in the clear water of the lake.

At that time, time flowed like passing water.

Zeus finally thought of a way to bring Ganymedes back to his side, to be with him forever.

He is Zeus, king of the gods, and he has the power to do what he wants, no matter the cost and consequences.

Zeus broke the space-time space and reversed the order of time.

The universe changes, time goes back.
