[Greek mythology] The daily life of the master of the abyss

The banquet of the gods is actually a carnival of the gods.

The singing is overwhelming, the dancing is gorgeous, and sometimes the addition of the gods and goddesses who are interested can push the atmosphere to a climax.

Such occasions, Helios has always liked.

Unfortunately, at this time, he was not in the mood to stay any longer.

The sun god left on the grounds of driving a sun chariot.

The Divine King's expression was deep and difficult to distinguish, but then his smile brightened, just like usual.

He raises his glass—

"Gods, keep on carnival, this is a feast not to be missed 1

then drink it

It seems to be back to normal.

ghost!

If he really returned to normal, he would have rolled down and wandered with all the gods.

He is the most active at ordinary banquets.

As his pillow person, Hera knew that he was in an abnormal state.

This weird atmosphere made her a little irritable, and she couldn't stand it and left.

She's going to find Tesis and talk about the marriage of Hephaestus.

Even if you are not married, you must have a lover

And this candidate is naturally gentle and beautiful, but sea fairies with low status are suitable.

Tesis had 3000 daughters, and Hephaestus would not feel bad for marrying one of them.

And she was more partial to Hephaestus.

After all, she also raised him for a while.

Zeus sat on the throne, suddenly remembered something, and called Hermes over.

Hermes stepped forward and listened to Zeus's instructions.

Then the pretty little face turned into a bitter face.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness Helios is much stronger than me. 1

Let him monitor Helios, Zeus is crazy again?

"I didn't let you get too close, just know his whereabouts, just like a lover." Zeus said slowly, playing with the gold cup.

Hermes stared dead.

What kind of crazy are you smoking again!

However, children who live in the hands of the god king will not be free.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but it may be a little slow, please be patient."

Helios is an amorous male god.

His lover is the sea nymph Clytie, but now this lover is neglected by him.

The Persian princess Leukothoe became his new love.

"Really..." Zeus leaned on the throne and looked at Hermes, "Go and tell Clytie about Leucotau."

Hermes said helplessly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

He had already seen Zeus' feelings for Helios.

Alas, he didn't expect that one day, he would not only help Zeus defend Hera, but also help Zeus chase the male god.

Life is not easy.

Of course he can't let him do it himself.

So Hermes found a maid in his temple, this maid has a little sea nymph blood, can attend the banquet of the sea nymphs, and also has the opportunity to meet Clytie.

Then I mentioned it inadvertently during the chat.

Clytie was naturally jealous.

Full of jealousy, Clytie reported the relationship between Leucotau and Helios to the Persian king Orkamos, and the unselfish Persian king immediately ordered the unchaste daughter to be buried alive.

After a day's work, Helios went to visit his lovely lover, but got such news.

So Helios cut off all contact with Clytie.

But Clytie was very infatuated. He watched Helios drive the sun chariot eastward and westward on the ground, and finally gradually turned into a sunflower, and kept staring at the sun.

Of course, Helios did not let this matter go, and went to investigate why Clytie knew about Leukotau, and followed the clues to find the maid who mentioned Leukotau in front of Clytie.

The maid of Hermes.

Helios went directly to Hermes.

Hermes' eyes wandered, and he said haha, but he didn't dare to look at him.

Helios naturally understood immediately.

Contact Zeus's previous behavior again.

What is not understood.

Ah.

Helios sneered.

He was indifferent and no longer paid attention to his lover, and gave birth to two children with Clymene.

Oh, and Clymene was also a sea nymph, and the mother of Prometheus.

But this fairy is quite beautiful and quite romantic.

She was originally the lover of Iapetus. After Iapetus was imprisoned in the abyss, she got involved with Prometheus =皮=

Yes, you are not mistaken.

Later, he was obsessed with Helios' beauty, and took the initiative to woo him, and because of her enthusiasm, charming, charming and gentleness, Helios accepted her.

After losing Clytie and Leukothoe, Helios still has other lovers, among them Selene is his lover and even his sister, with different status, and the second is Clymene. will please him.

The more times you go, the more you will naturally have children.

Although romantic, Helios is not a scumbag.

He likes children very much.

He also likes the pair of children that Clymene gave birth to for him.

However... Zeus was very angry.

Angry, he destroyed mankind.

...? ? ?

Is it not right?

Cough, there's nothing wrong with it, Zeus has long wanted to destroy humanity, and now his anger just prompts him to do so.

Well, destruction is easy to destroy. To create human beings, who do you plan to let come?His Majesty the God King?

Zeus (meditating): letmethi

kthi

To create this kind of thing, in fact, the gods can almost do it.

After all, almost all gods can create laws, but whether they can create well, whether they can create, and whether they can create is different.

Among the creation gods, powerful ones such as Gaia can easily create life. In contrast, Erebus, who has a dark attribute, needs to spend much more energy than Gaia to create a creation that suits his wishes.

The same is true for the gods on Olympus.

If the talent for creation is good, it may be easier to create human beings;

But in the end it can be created.

After thinking about it, Zeus decided on human blood—Prometheus.

Zeus, make it clear, are you really not intentional revenge?

Zeus (with confidence): Yes

As mentioned earlier, Prometheus was the lover of Clymene.

He is also Clymene's favorite child.

Isn't embarrassing him the same as making Clymene anxious?

Clymene was happy when he was not happy.

Prometheus was watching the destruction of mankind with a smile, but he was confused after receiving this order.

What are you talking about, Your Majesty?Can you say that again?

Zeus: I let you create man.

Prometheus: ..._(:3」∠)_

Who wants to do such a thankless task of creating a human being!

And he is not the most suitable god to create man!

However, looking at Zeus's expression of "If you don't make a man, you will die", Prometheus agreed aggrievedly.

He molded a man out of clay, took out good and evil from the chest of an animal, buried it in this body, and then asked his younger brother Epimetheus to take all the good characteristics he collected before creating man. .

In order to make humans better, Prometheus collected many characteristics from the gods.

I owe a lot of face for this.

And then...he waited until he found an empty box.

Prometheus: ...? ? ?

What about Lao Tzu's characteristics?

Oh, it was distributed to small animals by Epimetheus!

For example, sharpness is given to the eagle, and agility is given to the rabbit.

All the way to go all the way to give, sent a clean.

Prometheus: O my stupid brother!

Here comes the problem, there is only good and evil without characteristics, how should he continue.

Athena couldn't stand it and came over to help.

She and Prometheus are both gods of wisdom and have a good relationship.

Athena turned into a butterfly and blew divine breath from the man's mouth and nose, giving him a soul.

Then Prometheus concocted many human beings according to law.

The key point is that they are all men.

ATHENA: Did you not create woman?

Prometheus: Zeus pits me and I make him a lover?Beautiful him!

Athena: What about human reproduction?

Prometheus: Let men bear children.

ATHENA: Well, that's fine too.

So happy decision.

Tartarus and Chaosmo, who were watching in the abyss, died.

Tartarus almost spouted tea.

Two geniuses.

Man-made, but fragile.

Prometheus had to stay and teach them.

First of all, the people made by Prometheus are much weaker than the silver humans.

Judging from the prey obtained, it is much less.

If the sacrifices were performed according to the Silver Age, they would probably starve to death.

Prometheus, who has taken care of humans for a long time, cares a lot about humans.

Thinking of the first sacrifice not long after, Prometheus had to think of an idea.

So at the first sacrifice, Zeus saw two sacrifices, one large and one small.

One part is white fat and the other part is cowhide.

The bottom is covered with something.

Just let him choose the sacrifice in the future.

But one big and one small, they are still secretive, and they look deceitful.

But no matter what, he had an excuse to send Prometheus down.

Zeus showed a slightly dark smile.

He chose the big pile of grease.

Sure enough, under the fat are the bones that are straight and warped.

He lifted the cowhide again.

Underneath is bright red and firm flesh and blood.

He sneered.

"Prometheus, my dear friend, you lied to me." Zeus said softly.

Prometheus broke out in a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty..." Prometheus bowed his head: "Please forgive me, but human beings are really too fragile."

"Oh, is that so?" Zeus asked slowly, "Then let's sacrifice like this from now on." He said tolerantly.

Before Prometheus could be pleasantly surprised, he said again: "As the price for your deceiving me, I will not bestow human fire."

Prometheus' heart sank.

Prometheus: Then let me make a man with grandma's legs! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

Zeus: At worst, let someone else make another batch.

Prometheus looked at his cub who had lost his flame and shivered in the cold wind and could only eat raw food, and made up his mind.

He is going to steal fire!
