[Greek mythology] The fountain of youth

The young man's skin was extremely fair, and his wine-red hair made him extremely fair. He carried a wine bottle with him, and his body was full of the mellow aroma of wine. His amber eyes were half-closed, making it hard to tell. , Is he sober or drunk.

"What a strong smell of wine! Who is this man? Have you seen him?" The gods were discussing a lot. This young man who was rewarded by Zeus didn't care about these comments. He even raised the wine bottle and pointed directly at the bottle. Booze.

It seemed that he didn't pay attention to this group of people and their comments at all. The Queen of Heaven Hera glanced at the young man, "Heh!" His face has a bit of Zeus's look, and he can tell that it is Zeus's blood. Olympus has literally become a shelter for the illegitimate son of Zeus.

Hera looked cold, and Zeus patted Hera on the shoulder flatteringly. His wife was fine everywhere, but she was too jealous to treat his other children equally.

At times like this, Hera would always get angry with him, and Zeus touched his nose, but it was indeed his fault. Hera had always disliked her other children, and she brought them to her in a fair manner. She was angry. It is also inevitable.

Hera looked at the familiar child. She had shot at the child before and destroyed the child's body. Unexpectedly, Zeus preserved the child's soul and did not let the child dissipate.

Dionysus means to be born in Zeus's leg. I think he was limping at that time because he sewed the son's soul into his own leg and used his body to warm and nourish the child. , That's why such an abnormal state appeared.

Zeus seemed to like this son very much. The purpose of this banquet was to introduce these two new demigods to Olympus to the gods. He grandly introduced this son to everyone, Dionysus, the god of wine and carnival. s.

Alcohol is very important in Greece. Including ordinary people in the world, they don't drink water often. Only the extremely poor people choose to drink water. People who are a little richer choose to buy some Vats of wine to drink.

This is not because the Greeks like to drink, but because the water pollution in the city-state is often very serious. The waste water and waste accumulated in the city-state are discharged into the river by the people living in the city-state. Therefore, almost every city-state, nearby All the water sources in the city have a sour and bitter taste, making it difficult to swallow.

Even if the smell is ignored, the bacterial parasites contained in the rivers that excrete waste water often cause unbearable abdominal pain to those who drink the water source, and the wine fermented from water and wine can well cover up this sour and bitter taste Taste, bacterial parasites in wine are greatly reduced.

Even though the stamina of wine is great, almost everyone can't do without wine. Due to this special need, the position of Dionysus is simply not a good one, it is a god that must exist.

And the reward Zeus gave to Hercules was only the position of Hercules. You must know that strength may be useful to human heroes, but it is completely common for every god to have great strength.

Let's just say that, it's completely flashy and useless priesthood. The only advantage is that Hercules has become a god, and his lifespan has been extended.

Zeus could clearly see how much he loved his two sons, and Heber patted Hermes on the shoulder next to him, "Look at that, your new opponent, the title of the most beloved son of God the Father, is about to change hands .”

Hermes shook his head and laughed, "When it comes to God the Father's favorite son, how can we not mention Apollo." In Olympus, it is recognized that the god-king Zeus' favorite son is Apollo.

But Hebe didn't think so. Facing the increasingly powerful sons, Zeus couldn't choose to love this son out of some kind of love. On the contrary, Zeus must be very afraid of these increasingly powerful sons, but he has little emotion.

So like her elder brother Ares, or even Apollo, the son who is favored by the god-king on the surface, is not a child that Zeus really loves, but Hermes is different. The attitude is not to be wary, and Zeus will not hide some private matters from him, and Hermes will also know.

Therefore, Heber always believed that Hermes was the most beloved son of Zeus, and Zeus paved the way for this son so carefully, which is simply a rare "loving father".

Hebe relaxed and leaned on Hermes' shoulder, "Tell me, what is his background?" Hermes and Hera must understand the matter of the king of gods, and Zeus, the king of gods, often puts his best effort into it. , to conceal his wife Hera who was of equal status to him.

But he would not hide it. Hermes was his son and his subordinate. It was convenient to ask Hermes about such matters. Hermes bent down a little to make Hebe more comfortable.

"It was the child of Zeus and a human princess, but God the Father didn't care, the mother of Dionysus, the child should have died with her mother, but Zeus only saved him and sewed his soul in his leg superior……"

"No wonder Father God's legs are always inconvenient." She thought that Zeus was too wicked and did too many bad things, so he was wrapped in a sack and beaten up.

God of wine and carnival?This is a bit difficult to handle. After Demeter had no intention of managing the affairs of Olympus, one of the twelve main gods was vacant.

Hebe is already a first-class god now, and it would be a lie if she didn't have any further thoughts. She has always been very interested in the vacant main god, and there are not a few people who have the same purpose.

However, Zeus never made up the meaning of the twelve main gods. He had an ambiguous attitude. At that time, Zeus cared deeply for Hercules, so people have always speculated that the king of gods had other arrangements for the main god, and he has been supporting Heracles. Lacles, maybe he just wanted him to occupy the position of the main god, and his eccentricity has no limit.

Looking at the king of the gods in this way is indeed biased, but it is not for Hercules, but for the carnival god Dionysus. According to Zeus's strong temperament, maybe this position of the main god will really win. into the hands of Dionysus.

It's just that if this is the case, it is inevitable that I will not be reconciled. There are only twelve seats for the main god. If you want to be the main god, you have to fight for it. She also inherited Zeus's predatory nature in her blood.

Besides, if she restores the life vase, her strength will reach a new level. Heber is fully capable of competing. If she misses this opportunity, the next time will be even more distant.

After the banquet, these two new gods officially joined Mount Shenshan and became a member of Olympus. Hercules, who was originally interested in her, clearly showed a respectful distance when he knew that she was the daughter of Hera. idea.

But without knowing what Zeus and Hercules said, he suddenly changed his attitude and became more attentive to Hebe, and he seemed to have a radar, often waiting on Hebe's only way.

Hebe rolled his eyes unwillingly, and looked at Hercules, who was in the way in front of him, again!What a man!Hercules was holding a large bouquet of flowers, and when he saw Hebe coming, he waved excitedly.

"Pure and flawless goddess of youth, kind goddess, please help me, I am full of interest in the unknown Olympus, take the poor me for a stroll." Hercules was showing off a little pitifully, this The trick is simply invincible, but I didn't expect to hit a wall with the goddess of youth.

His face is similar to that of Zeus. Years of wars have made him extremely muscular. Just by looking at him from the face, he is quite capable of bluffing. He looks like a talented person, but Heber, who understands the stench inside him, is simply disgusting. , what he looks like.

Hebe wants to find Demeter next time, so as to see if the seed of all things is in Demeter's hands. Whether it is possible for her to restore the fountain of youth is a very important thing for her.

Hercules' behavior really disgusted her, like a piece of dog skin plaster, she avoided Hercules' hand that wanted to touch her.

"Please stay away from me. What is your business?" The goddess of youth was very indifferent to him, "No matter what, I hope you stay away from me. This is not a discussion but a notice." The goddess moved closer to Heracle s.

Hercules only felt a scent wafting, a faint fragrance coming from the goddess of youth, he couldn't help feeling a little distracted, and wanted to get closer to Heber to feel the smell.

Zeus, who was in the distance, hugged Hera, the queen beside him, "Look at our precious daughter and Hercules, don't they look like us back then? You, it's just too old-fashioned. Are young gods together? Is it okay?"

The petite goddess of youth approached Hercules, and the burly hero looked at her affectionately and opened his arms slightly, as if trying to stop the goddess of youth in his arms. Their faces were similar to Zeus Hera. From a distance, it really looks like a biren.

Tianhou's complexion was not good, and it turned from cloudy to clear in the next second, "The great Zeus is not always right." Tianhou left here with her neck held high.

Hebe approached Hercules. He was too confident or completely defenseless. He even opened his arms. Could it be that he thought he would give him a hug.

But it was very convenient for her. Hebe's hibiscus face, with a faint smile, approached Hercules and raised his legs.

He immediately snorted, fell to the ground, and looked at Heber in disbelief. The smile on the corner of Heber's mouth was even better. In the face of absolute power, it was better than any weak words.

"Listen, Hercules, pestering me like this is not such a simple punishment, understand?" The goddess of youth left, and Hercules' self-esteem followed the departure of the goddess, shattered into pieces .
