[Greek mythology] The fountain of youth

The whole night of laughter and laughter, Heber has not been so happy for a long time. The world has become different. The teenagers gathered around the fire together, talking and talking about the future.

Everyone drank some wine and talked about what they want to do in the future. Most of the boys' wishes are to be the god of Ares, the god of war, and to be a warrior of their own country with blood.

There are many choices for girls. Some people want to be a follower of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, to gain beauty;

One of the round-faced girls took a big bite of the delicious barbecue, and she sighed with satisfaction, "If only I could be selected in the Temple of Youth, and serve the Goddess of Youth." Her family is devout Goddess of Youth believer.

The friends teased her, "I haven't given up yet. If you don't get selected this time, you will no longer be able to serve the goddess of youth."

People on the earth can believe in any god, but the favorite of the gods is different from person to person. For example, Ares, the god of war, blesses the believers who serve the gods selected by the Temple of Youth, and Hermes, the god, favors those who are as witty and cunning as him. people.

Hera protects all women, especially those in marriage, while Hebe, the goddess of youth, loves lively and innocent girls.

Therefore, the people selected by the Temple of Youth are all pure girls between fourteen and sixteen. Those younger than this age or older than this age cannot serve the Goddess of Youth.

The round-faced girl is just 16 years old this year. If she misses this opportunity, she will never be able to enter the temple to serve the goddess again.

The round-faced girl was not angry when she was teased by her friends, "There are so many candidates for priest in the temple every year, it's normal that I can't be selected." The priests of Hebe, the goddess of youth, are all pure, carefree and slender girls.

The round-faced girl obviously didn't meet the standards, "However, it would be great if I became the priest of the goddess of youth." The round-faced girl's face was full of longing, "You will get your wish." Heber looked at her explain.

"Oh..., thank you sweetheart." In fact, the round-faced girl didn't believe that she became the priest of the goddess, but she was also very happy in the face of the only person who encouraged her.

But she found that she didn't remember this delicate-looking girl, but she quickly let go of it. Her dexterous fingers flew up and down, and a delicate garland was ready in a few strokes.

She gently put the garland on the young girl, and at night, the group of boys and girls fell into the fragrance of dreams, Hebe came to them, blessed the group of boys, and then she left quietly.

When it came time for the Temple of Youth to select the girl who served the goddess, the round-faced girl was selected. She couldn't believe that she had defeated so many outstanding girls and became the selected girl.

She excitedly followed her predecessor, the priest of the Temple of Youth. It is said that she is as old as her neighbor, Granny Sophia, but Granny Sophia already has grandchildren, and her face is already full of wrinkles, while this priest is still the same. She looks young, she is not old at all.

The priest took her into the interior of the temple, where there was a statue of the Goddess of Youth. She was a devout believer, and she had visited the Goddess of Youth countless times.

As usual, she raised her head to look at the statue after paying homage, and the statue carved from white jade suddenly came to life. The goddess winked at her mischievously, it was that girl!

The round-faced girl was startled. It was the girl she saw at the bonfire banquet. She suddenly remembered the girl's name, the goddess named Hebe, Her Highness the Goddess of Youth.

Hebe still remembers the words of his mother Hera, "If you want to relax, go to the ocean." There must be deep meaning hidden in her words, so Hebe did not go to her mother's holy place on earth to find her mother.

Instead, he chose to leave the bustling human city and yearn for the blue and mysterious ocean. At night, Heber walked barefoot on the beach path alone. His white and tender feet stepped on the golden sand and fine sand grains. The rustling sound of stepping on sand grains, and the sound of wind blowing through the waves.

Heber stared at the deep blue sea, a beautiful figure came out across the sea, the sea water caressed her sparkling skin, she seemed to be a shining night pearl in the sea.

Her face reflected the gentleness of the lake water, and when she surfaced, her graceful blue fishtails turned into human legs, and she carried a shell lamp made of night pearls.

It was Thetis, the goddess of the sea, the adoptive mother of Hephaestus. She looked at Hebe tenderly, "Hera is right, you will come here, come with me." She stretched out her hand to invite Hebe.

Heber thought to himself, the person who really caught Zeus's attention must be a beautiful woman.

Thetis held Hebe's warm hand with her cold and steamy fingers, and she took Hebe into the sea. The body touch in the water was obviously different from that on the land.

The further you go below the sea, the more you can feel the undercurrent surging that does not match the calm surface. The further you go, the body is like being wrapped in tight clothes made of water, and Thetis is already in the water. Has changed into a fish tail.

After a while, they swam to the place where Thetis lived, a palace made of shells and corals, with a unique ocean style.

Thetis's blue eyes contained a kindness that didn't match her appearance, "Don't think so much, Hera just wants you to relax, so stay here for a night first."

She smiled, "I'm small here, so I'll just live in Hephaestus' previous room. Don't worry, I've cleaned it before you came. Have a good dream. I have something to talk about tomorrow."

The goddess let Heber rest involuntarily. Heber looked at the room of his brother Hephaestus. This room was divided into two parts, most of which were transformed into a huge forging room, and a small part became a living room.

Compared with the exercise room with a lot of tools, this bedroom is even more pitiful. Although it is clean and tidy, there is no furniture, only the necessities of life, a bed, a table, and a chair. Phaistos' room.

The yellow-orange bed looks very rough, but it was made by the blacksmith Hephaestus. Although it looks ordinary and rough, the big brass bed is unexpectedly soft. Same.

Hebe fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed. As expected of the craftsmanship produced by Hephaestus, he had a very comfortable dream.

Until the morning, Heber was still immersed in the comfort brought by the big brass bed. Simply put, she stayed in bed.

However, Hebe and Hephaestus' adoptive mother Thetis still had a beautiful morning, but Hebe was still a little shy, but she hadn't stayed in bed since she grew up.

Thetis saw that Hebe was shy, she pouted her red lips, then clapped her hands and laughed loudly, "Oh, my dear, you are so similar to Hephaestus, you really are brother and sister."

"I remember when I first raised your brother, he snoozes for a while, and he blushes in the same shy way. Later, when he grows up, he always keeps a straight face and encourages his mechanical things. It's not cute at all. up"

She complained about her son's shortcomings, and it could be seen that she raised her brother Hephaestus as her own son. She gave Hebe some delicacies unique to the sea, and at the same time told Hebe about the embarrassing things about his brother when he was a child, which made Hebe laugh laughing out loud.

Hebe suddenly noticed a person coming out of the room of the goddess Thetis. Hebe looked at this man warily, a human man?The goddess followed Hebe's gaze, "Look at me! I forgot to introduce you, this is my baby Peleus."

Speaking of which, the goddess exchanged a sweet kiss with this strange man, "This is Hebe, the goddess of youth."

Hebe nodded as a greeting, "Forgive me for disturbing the two of you's breakfast, but Thetis, I have to go." The man was humorous, and it was obvious that he should be Thetis' lover or lover.

After the man left, Thetis's big gentle eyes fell on Hebe again. They had just exchanged a few words when Thetis' face suddenly changed.

"Happy time is always short, Heber should go." She said something suddenly, and in the next second, a group of dolphins surrounded them.

The group of dolphins were very lively, they circled around them, and while Heber was not paying attention, they naughtily pressed their beaks (the mouth of the dolphins) against Heber's waist, and rubbed their heads through Heber's hands.

Thetis seemed to dislike these dolphins, with disgust in his eyes, as if he had seen something dirty. It was Poseidon and Terry who came together. Poseidon held a trident, and stared at Thetis with dark blue eyes. s.

Although Thetis showed boredom on his face, he still talked to him politely and coldly, which reminded Hebe of a rumor. In Olympus, Hebe not only heard that Zeus, the king of gods, was pursuing Thetis, and Boss the sea king Seidon is also pursuing Thetis.

So Hebe was really worried that Thetis and Poseidon were alone together. Poseidon signaled Hebe to leave with his son Triton. Hebe looked at Thetis worriedly, and Thetis just nodded, letting Heber followed Triton to leave.

In fact, at this point, Hebe has already guessed the purpose of the mother god Hera who asked her to come to the ocean. The ocean is one of Hera's strong reliance. Hera knows her husband Zeus, and knowing that she is not here, Zeus will definitely anger her children.

The two sons with the power of the main god naturally don’t have to worry, and the other two daughters live in the world all the year round, so don’t worry too much. Only the youngest daughter, who looks the most like her, will definitely get all the wrath of Zeus.

Only Poseidon in the ocean and Hades in the underworld can protect Hebe in the Three Realms. Unlike Zeus and his brothers, who only look down on each other, Hera and his brothers get along very well.

The ocean is obviously more suitable for Hebe to live in than Hades, and the living environment is more suitable for Hebe.
