[Greek mythology] The fountain of youth

"Please leave my altar now." The goddess guided the couple, "Blindfold your eyes, untie your belts, and throw your mother's bones behind you!"

The two were very surprised when they heard the mysterious words of the goddess. They didn't understand the meaning of the goddess, they just felt baffled.

Mother's skeleton?This is too offensive.

The couple looked at me and I looked at you, without speaking. The wife of the couple, Pila, broke the silence first.

She said "Noble Goddess, please forgive me, I cannot finish this work." She continued after a pause.

"I have to go against your wishes, goddess, because I can't throw away the remains of my mother Pandora. Even if she did something wrong and brought disaster, I really don't want to offend her ghost!"

However, the goddess did not continue to respond to them, and there was silence in the altar. Both Pyrrha and Deucalion seemed extremely depressed, but a young girl's crisp voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

"The earth is our common benevolent mother." They were surprised and looked up.

I saw Ares, the god of war, pulling four horses and chariots, passing through the sky. There was also a girl in the chariot, the sister of Ares, the god of war, the youngest daughter of Zeus, the lord of the sky, and Hebe, the goddess of youth.

It was the voice of the goddess of youth just now, and the chariot did not stop, as if the goddess of youth came to tell them a word.

The crisp words of the goddess still echoed in the ears of the couple, the earth is our common benevolent mother!

Husband Deucalion's heart suddenly became clear, the earth?Mother?He immediately understood the meaning of the goddess.

He comforted his lost wife in a gentle voice and said, "If my understanding is correct, then the goddess did not order us to do disrespectful things."

"The earth is our gracious mother! Mother's bones, and the stones are the bones of the earth, Pyrrha, stand up and let us throw the stones behind us!"

The two stood up with each other's support, and Pyrrha was still skeptical, but they might as well try, so they turned around, picked up the stone from the ground, and then they followed the goddess' order.

Blindfold their eyes with a cloth, loosen their belts, and throw the stones in their hands behind them. A miracle happened, the stones fell to the ground, and the stones were no longer hard and brittle once they hit the ground.

Instead, it became as if there was an invisible hand carving the shape of a person. This invisible hand was extremely dexterous, and the stone was gradually taking shape, and the appearance of a person began to appear.

The head and limbs gradually took shape, the wet soil on the stones turned into pieces of muscle, the solid and hard stones turned into bones, and the lines between the stones became human veins.

Although it has not yet been fully formed, the stone seems to have been carefully carved by an artist and has become different.

The stones turned into people, and the couple walked together, throwing stones back all the way, all the stones thrown by Deucalion turned into men, and all the stones thrown by his wife Pyrrha turned into women.

And Heber was sitting on the God of War chariot watching all this. Ares was driving the chariot. They are still in the world. Ares, the God of War, patted his sister on the head, "Just to help them, how long will they stay in the world?" Is it? Mother thought I abducted you."

Four war horses were galloping, Hebe stretched out his hand to touch, Ares's Marconabus, but the horse's temper was a replica of Ares, it turned its head and slapped Hebe There was a loud noise, and the sparks almost scorched Heber's dress.

"Pfft." Seeing his younger sister glaring at him, Ares quickly restrained his smile again, "Aitong, Cornabos, Phrogios, and Phobos are extremely arrogant, and they almost kicked Enyo last time. , they are only for me to touch. (The names of the four horses on the Ares chariot.)”

"It's not just to help them, I'm still looking for something." Heber had a deep look, but Heber's image was just a carefree girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a child imitating an adult's speech .

Ares ruffled his sister's hair viciously, "Don't be tricky, Hebe." Hebe was busy getting rid of his brother's big hands making trouble on his head, "Pandora's box, I think it should still be in the world."

The younger sister was so cute, Ares pinched Heber's little cheek before he stopped.

The power of the God of War is really extraordinary, Heber rubbed his injured face, and it turned red.

"What? What do you want that shit for?" Ares frowned as if he wanted to say something, looked at Hebe and explained patiently, "That's not a good thing, we don't want that, what else do you want? Brother give it to you Find something else."

Seeing that his younger sister Heber didn't understand, he simply spoke more clearly.

"That is a magic box made by Hephaestus. Zeus put disasters, scourges, and plagues in it. These things have ruined the entire silver human race. They have great resentment. If you don't want to become a plague god, don't touch it."

God loves light and hates darkness. The plague god is not qualified to live in Ospirin, and the plague god will not be welcome anywhere.

A long time ago, Hera found out that Zeus and Leto had a good relationship, and she was furious. She expelled the pregnant Leto from Ospirin, and forbade Leto to give birth on the earth, forbidding the earth to give her a place to give birth, and sent someone Chase and kill Leto's mother and son.

During those days, when Apollo was not yet strong, the three of them, mother and son, had a miserable life.

And Apollo's original attribute is light, but there are many light gods, even huge, and it is not easy to get a share of the power. The power and authority of the light gods are completely controlled by the Titan God, the sun god Hurley. Eos, the moon goddess Selene and the dawn goddess Eos brothers and sisters.

They will not let go of those who dare to fight for power with them. The light gods who are not of their lineage are facing hidden dangers. If they are not careful, they will lose their lives. Apollo can only lie dormant.

Using the dark image of the plague god to develop power, Zeus later defeated the Titan god, and the power was transferred alternately. The three brothers and sisters, Helios, the sun god, Selene, the moon goddess, and Eos, the goddess of dawn, lost power.

Great opportunity, Zeus needs capable heirs to consolidate his power. For various reasons, Apollo got rid of the plague god and became the sun god.

It sounds simple, but the three of Leto, mother and son paid a high price. Leto lost almost all power and authority for his son, even the original priesthood. The right to worship and is generally worshiped only with her children.

Heber patted his brother's shoulder reassuringly, "Don't worry brother, there are not only disasters, scourges, and plagues in the magic box, but the most important thing is that there is hope in it."

Ares frowned and thought, is there hope in the magic box?

Although Ares is the god of war, he is not a big guy with no brains, a godless person, no god would be willing to help such a person, but there is hope in the box, "there are gods helping these people, except Prometheus Si, there is still someone who will help them... Athena."

Seeing his brother's sudden realization, Hebe went on to say, "Prometheus and Athena are good friends. Prometheus created humans at that time. Originally, this generation of silver humans could not have been created. It was Athena who helped them. Mankind was born."

"It can be said that Athena is also the creator of this generation of humans, so she will help this group of people."

Prometheus is a god who is good at creating and inventing. At that time, the earth was full of flowers and weeds, but there were no people or animals. He observed this thoughtfully.

He decided to create man, and his younger brother Epimetheus was responsible for endowing each animal with good instincts. He gave bravery to lions, the ability to run fast to rabbits, and keen eyesight to eagles...

Thus giving all his good faculties to the animals one by one, Epimetheus did not take into account all his creations, and when it came to man there was nothing left for them to depend on for their existence.

Among the gods, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, was a friend of Prometheus. She discovered all this on Mount Olympus. When she found that Prometheus was helpless looking at his creation, Athena hurried from Olympus came to the world.

Breathe into their mouths the living breath of God.Thus, they acquire wisdom and reason, and only then do they become real human beings.

Ares: "But hope didn't come out, and the silver humans are almost wiped out. How can you be sure, Heber, that there is really hope in the magic box?"

"Athena will not let them go. Although I don't know why, Hope has not been released, but what is certain is that Hope is still in Pandora's Box."

"During this period of time, I have been cultivating my divine power. Maybe I will become a second-class god if I get the hope in the magic box and condense the priesthood of purification."

Hebe looked at his brother, "Then I won't be a child who will never grow up." Ares looked at his younger sister who was different from other goddesses.

Not long after the Greek gods were born, they would enter the adult stage. This stage is the golden period of the gods, and their respective bodies will be mature, and their divine power will remain unchanged during this period.

Only Hebe still has the appearance of a girl, and the other goddesses have long since grown up. Hebe is still small and green, not even reaching his chest.

As an unreliable older brother who only fights, he actually loves his younger sister very much. No, Ares took the responsibility of driving the carriage and took Heber to search for the magic box without complaint.

The speed of the God of War carriage was very fast. They searched most of the world, but did not see the shadow of Pandora's box. "Could it be in the water?" Heber pouted and looked towards the sea.

Zeus, who was offended, not only sent the disaster in the magic box, but also asked his brother Poseidon to send a flood of suffering and sorrow to the world. Finally, because of the piety of Pyrrha and Deucalion among humans, Zeus Forgave them both.

Let Poseidon, the king of the sea, calm the angry flood, but the earth is still muddy everywhere.

If there is no magic box on the earth, will it be washed into the sea by the flood?

The author has something to say about the mythical deeds. Zeus launched a flood to punish mankind. The only two survivors were Pyrrha and Deucalion, and the stone became a man.

Enyo Greek mythology symbolizes the cruel goddess father Zeus (father) Hera (mother) who symbolizes war
