[Greek mythology] The fountain of youth

Facing Hebe's persuasion, Demeter turned a deaf ear to it, but did not let go, and asked Hebe to greet Persephone. Although Persephone is an independent individual, the goddess of harvest is her mother god after all, and there is no god of agriculture. Agreed, Hebe couldn't take Persephone away either.

The timing of Spring God's treatment had to be put on hold temporarily. The Harvest Goddess was not such a temperamental person before, and her sudden love for daughters became obsessive, which was also related to one person.

That man is Prometheus, he was very close to Zeus back then, he advised Zeus, Zeus can become the king of gods, he has a lot of credit, Prometheus and the goddess of wisdom Metis, both Zeus's think tank Tuan, he was one of the most intelligent gods in Olympus at that time, and his name means "foresight", which aptly describes him.

Because of this relationship, Zeus brothers and sisters are related to Prometheus. Shortly after Persephone was born, he once told Demeter a prophecy. No one knows what the seer said to her. The Harvest Goddess has a big change in temperament.

She strictly controlled her daughter, for fear that she would leave her eyes. She especially hated men who approached Persephone. Even the father of the child, Zeus could not approach her.

Demeter seemed to restrain herself a bit, and even let Chunshen go out to play, but her bones remained the same. She was still full of control over her daughter, just like she didn't know now that her daughter was in a wrong state, but there was something wrong with that. It doesn't matter, as long as the daughter stays with her obediently.

She only asks her daughter to stay with her, but Demeter is the main god and has her own responsibilities and things. Even if she wants to accompany Persephone all the time, it is impossible. She is not by the side of Spring God. , I had to ask the people in the temple to take care of Chunshen temporarily.

But the goddess is not a lifeless rag doll, and she can arrange it at will. As long as Persephone wakes up and finds that her mother is not by her side, the frightened goddess will scream.

She will frantically search for traces of Demeter. At this time, it will be the servants of the Harvest Temple who will suffer. They are all nymphs selected from the earth to serve the gods.

Nymphs are naturally transformed spirits who are good at singing and dancing.

But they are not good at this kind of thing. Persephone's power is weak, and she is also the child of the god king Zeus and the main god Demeter. How do they compare with this spring god? Why is it Persephone's force? higher than them.

It takes full strength and a superior number of people to guard Spring God, but this will inevitably hurt Her Royal Highness Persephone. If Demeter, who loves her daughter, sees this, they will not have to live.

If they didn't catch Spring God and let her run out of the temple, they would have to face the consequences of being expelled from Olympus by Demeter.

By the way, since the birth of Persephone, the Harvest Goddess has removed all the male attendants in the temple, leaving only the docile female Nymphs, and the powerful goddesses will not choose to serve others.

Even if that person's status is respected, at most he is regarded as a god, but the gods of his family don't care about the affairs of your temple, he still has his own temple.

This created an embarrassing situation. In the entire Harvest Temple, there was no one who could suppress the mad Persephone. Faced with the two endings of being driven out or being killed, normal people would definitely choose to live.

Moreover, the staff of the Harvest Temple changed too quickly, and there was no one who was particularly sincere in protecting the lord, so these god attendants were often mean-spirited, pretending to stop Persephone twice, and finally the god of spring probably ran out .

Once, Persephone ran out of the temple in a panic, looking for her mother goddess, stumbled along the way, and happened to bump into Zeus. Zeus frowned and watched her run away, and said to Hermes next to her, "I see her face is familiar. Look who it is."

The appearance of the goddess seemed a little panicked, but she was still young and cute, like a green fruit on the branch, which left a deep impression on Zeus.

"Daughter of Demeter, Persephone, goddess of spring."

Harmful!As soon as Zeus opened his mouth, he knew what this old and disrespectful Zeus was thinking, and directly pointed out the identity of Persephone, the daughter who had been strictly disciplined by Demeter, your own daughter.

"Oh." His daughter!Well done!

When he fought against Typhon, although he easily defeated Typhon, he was also severely injured by Typhon's sneak attack before, and his strength declined for a while. Poseidon was still about to move, so he could only carefully hide his injuries .

Poseidon wants to take his position, if he knows that his strength is not as good as before, he will definitely make trouble. He has to find an ally, a strong ally, so that Poseidon will be afraid, so that he will not dare to take action easily and win the battle. Time to recuperate.

Is there an ally more reliable than Hades?He is undoubtedly the object of his wooing.

But how to win him over is a problem, but fortunately, his brother is not a womanizer, and the position of Queen of the Underworld is still vacant. Marriage is undoubtedly a safer choice.

Seeing Persephone today made him think of a good idea. He has so many daughters, all of whom are outstanding in appearance, and their personalities and appearances are enough to match him. The queen Hera gave birth to Eletia and Hebe, Demeter Ersheng's Persephones are all unmarried and noble, worthy of the queen of the underworld.

Now that there are candidates, the only thing left is how to get them to Hades!Suddenly Zeus thought of a person.

Eros, the little god of love, is the illegitimate son of Aphrodite, the god of love, and Ares, the god of war. But like his irritable son, he has a quick temper.

Eros wandered around with a bow and arrow all day long, and a god teased the kid and asked him with a teasing smile, "You little brat, what's the use of holding an arrow? Can you shoot?" The god next to him said, "Ha Haha, he's just a child with no hair! How can he shoot arrows? Isn't this a joke." The gods roared with laughter.

It is very interesting to tease the newborn protoss for a long time.

But Eros, the little love god, smiled innocently at the gods, showing cute little tiger teeth, raised his hand and shot an arrow, "I'm super good at archery! Don't underestimate me."

Seeing Eros, the little god of love, shooting arrows decently, they thought Eros's archery skills were really good, but they didn't expect the arrows to fall on them, and it was completely painless.

These boring gods, seeing such a scene, laughed at the embarrassing little Eros even more wantonly. The arrows were all hit, and it was not painful. This rubbish archery, "Go back and drink your mother's daughter, hug your mother!" Cry bitterly!"

Little Eros fluttered her wings and left indifferently, "100% arrows, never miss!"

Soon these gods who laughed at the little Cupid realized that something was wrong. The person who was hit by the arrow was madly obsessed with it. The stone pillar next to him was hit by the arrow of Eros. This can completely explain it. The arrow shot by Eros Arrows do not have wounds in the general sense, but magic, a kind of magic that falls in love with others.

Eros, the little goddess of love, became famous immediately, and the god of beauty had a mischievous son, so he became a household name.

Zeus clapped his hands and laughed, he remembered, it was the arrow, so magic exists, so why worry about Hades not accepting his gift?

It was another banquet, this was the first banquet after the war was pacified, and it was hosted by Zeus again, and it was so grand that even the gods on the earth were invited.

Hebe looked around, Olympus came to many illegitimate children that Zeus did not recognize in the world, Hebe and his sister sat in the seat, talking quietly to Eletia, "God the Father put his daughter in the world , also called up."

Eletia motioned to Hebe, and looked at the empty position next to the Godhead King, "Mother God, she didn't come, maybe she was angry with Zeus, you said that Father God is also, who helped him guard Olympus Hera! What does he want these people to do, come to obstruct the mother God's eyes?"

With the nature of Zeus, unless the children are talented, he doesn't care about the rest. The children are here, but Zeus didn't bring the mothers of these illegitimate children to Olympus, and these illegitimate children came all Goddess, this is too strange.

"Sister and I stay together. These people are goddesses. Maybe Zeus is planning something. I always feel that something is wrong." Hebe had a faint premonition that something would happen. Offender, she also had this premonition.

Eletia suggested, "Then let's get out of here, I'm very annoyed by too many people."

Hebe and Eletia left the messy and lively banquet. There were too many people in the banquet, so it was a bit stuffy. Once they came out, even the air became clear. Elethea saw all kinds of flowers on the side of the road. , She became interested, and she happily picked off the flowers, wove them into a garland, and put them on Heber's head.

"What a big man, still so playful!" Heber touched the wreath on his head and sighed. Since he was a child, he has been Eletia's doll, and his sister always likes to dress up and play with her, and he is still like this when he grows up.

When the two were enjoying themselves happily, Persephone suddenly appeared from nowhere and broke into them. The black-haired male god who followed Hebe not far away suddenly let out a muffled groan, The golden arrow pierced Hades' heart.

The arrow disappeared in an instant, turning into a purple mist and piercing into the male god's heart. He looked unharmed, but his eyes were blurred for a moment, and then he raised his head sharply, looking for something.

In front of the black-haired male god were the two Hebe sisters, and the goddesses turned their backs to him. Because Persephone suddenly broke into the two sisters, pushed away the other two goddesses, and rushed towards the male god. .

The eyes of the two met, and when Persephone was about to pass by the black-haired male god, the male god suddenly grabbed her slender wrist and lifted Haruka into his arms.

Four pure black Pegasus horses appeared out of thin air, pulling the chariot of Pluto. On the ground of Olympus, a gap was opened, and the inside was quiet black.

Persephone struggled and resisted in vain. The male god's hand was like a pair of pliers, firmly grasping her wrist and putting her into the carriage.

Hebe and his sister Eletia were taken aback by this sudden change. Seeing that Pluto was about to abduct Spring God, Hebe raised his sword to stop him.

This is Olympus, as long as Zeus is present, no one can snatch people here, even if she is not as powerful as Pluto, as long as she delays for a while, Zeus will naturally notice the strangeness here, and then Persephone will be saved.

At this time, Heber didn't know that the root of all this came from Zeus' calculation.

The goddess is like a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and actually holds a sword to fight against Hades, the king of the underworld. Hades, who was affected by the magic arrow, with black eyes, just looks at this obstructive goddess indifferently.

He wants to bring his beloved back to Hades, and no one can stop him!

Contrary to Heber's expectation, there has been such a commotion, not to mention that Zeus did not come, and no one in the vicinity was disturbed.

Hebe, who was hit by Hades again and fell to the ground, stood up with the sword, trying to swallow the fishy sweetness in his mouth, Hades kept his hand, even if he kept his hand, he was not his The opponent could only watch him take away Persephone unwillingly.

Pluto took his "beloved" goddess to his own dark place, the kingdom of death, Hades. He has arranged the palace in the way the goddess likes. Even if she doesn't like it, she can change it at any time. He can't help liking it at all. , Hades is about to emerge with joy.

When the carriage left, he suddenly turned his head and stared at the stubborn goddess, who was so familiar, he actually let her go, but it was nothing, he was about to bring his beloved back to Hades!

He caressed his chest in a daze, feeling the slight pain, his heart seemed to be broken, why the pain, Pluto was a little puzzled, is there something wrong with his body?

But when he turned his attention to the panicked Persephone, this god who had always been known for his indifference actually showed a sincere smile, and he hugged the struggling Spring God.

"It's great that you finally came to me."

The moment the carriage flew away, the Harvest Goddess appeared here. She was in a panic. She saw her daughter disappear in front of her. She screamed and called her name, "Hades! Give me back my daughter! Persephone !"

Hades ignored them in the carriage and even accelerated the speed of the carriage.

Demeter didn't even care about the presence of Hebe and Eletia, and quickly ran to Zeus with a gorgeous golden skirt. Zeus was shocked on the surface.

He said that he would severely punish Hades and bring back Persephone, but he did not take any action until the news came from Hades that he was about to marry the Queen of Hades, so he was not in a hurry.

Now everyone only knew what Zeus meant, and he was obviously in favor of the marriage. Heber looked at this terrible father.

She suspects that Hades' snatching of the marriage is the acquiescence of Zeus, it should be said that it is!

He could have arrived to stop this matter, but he didn't!

Demeter begged Zeus bitterly, she was not as noble as before, at this moment she was a poor and helpless mother, but no matter how much she begged Zeus, this heartless god, remained indifferent.

In the end, the angry mother had no choice but to abandon all her responsibilities and run to the earth, "As long as my daughter doesn't come back, I won't be able to fulfill my responsibilities."

The goddess representing the harvest went on strike, and not only the plants in Olympus withered in one day, but also the world was barren without any grass. They prayed to the god for help.

Zeus used his divine power to maintain the flowers and plants of Olympus, but he couldn't solve the barrenness of the land for days, and the world couldn't bear it either.

Zeus is the king of gods, and these human beings are also his subjects. There is no way he can keep everything barren on the earth.

Zeus had no choice but to agree to Demeter's conditions, and asked Hades vaguely and unwillingly if he could return Persephone to Demeter, but he had arranged this matter alone, and Zeus could never tear himself down .

He is still waiting to be the eldest brother's father-in-law!

But Demeter is indeed obsessed, she is a very useful goddess, she has no choice but to pretend.

But he didn't go in person. Instead, he sent Hermes, the envoy of God, to pick up Persephone. He obviously didn't want to take Spring God home. Hades was his equal, and he wouldn't necessarily let him go when Zeus went, let alone It's the junior Hermes!

But this is Demeter, who is already in despair, the only life-saving straw. She also knows that Zeus cannot continue to make concessions. This is her last hope, and she will seize it even if it is meager.

In the conference hall, Heber looked at the Father God and handed over the almost difficult task to Hermes. Heber was completely disappointed in this father.

He is like selling his daughter, and even if it is his beloved son, he will never care about Hermes' life or death, as long as he maintains the royal power, he can do anything.

Hermes and Hebe bid farewell, and he still laughed heartlessly, as if he was not going to Hades, but went to some beautiful place for vacation.

"Why are your eyes red? I'm familiar with Hades. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Hebe held back his tears and looked up at the sky, just like not looking at Hermes, liar!

The last time she saw Hermes, there were large and small wounds on his body, is Hades so close!Besides, he didn't go to guard the most fortified Pluto's palace last time, who knows what will happen this time.
