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

"No, thank you." Tartarus refused without thinking.

"Why, you haven't been out of the abyss for a long time, why don't I take you to see the scenery of the land?" Apollo persuaded.

"The mother goddess and I can see the scenery of the earth." Tartarus was very ruthless, "Is there anything else? If there is nothing else, I will not send you off."

Immediately chase people away without saying a word.

Poor Apollo's first invitation went nowhere.

It could also be the last time.

"Baby, you are so ruthless." Chaos came out from the apse and smiled.

"It is enough that I have affection for you," Tartarus replied.

"The mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." Chaos said.

As mentioned earlier, Helios and Clymene had a son.

The boy's name was Phaethon.

Because Helios is the sun god and hates water by nature, Clymene took him and his sister to live on the earth.

Since it is on the earth, Phaethon will definitely know human beings.

Children of this age also always love to play with their peers.

But children of this age are also very skinny.

The time concept of Clymene and Helios is that of the gods, and ten years pass by in a flash.

This also caused Phaethon to hardly see his father.

The surrounding humans have naturally never seen it.

So this poor baby was scolded by human children as a child without a father.

There is no real evidence to refute it.

So after being ridiculed again, the kid went home crying to find his mother...

His Mama Clemente felt distressed immediately.

"My child, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying so sadly?" She hugged Phaethon and asked tenderly.

Phaeton immediately climbed up: "Mother, they all laughed at me as a child without a father. Who is my father? Why have I never seen him?"

Clymene comforted: "Oh, my Phaethon, don't listen to their words, you are nobler than them, your father is the noble sun god, he is handsome and tall, and he drives the burning golden flame every day. His chariot rides in the sky, and he loves us."

"Then why has he never come to see us?" Phaeton asked.

"My child." Clymene smiled, "Your father is a god, and it has only been ten years since I last saw him. This time is very short, but you grew up like a human being, yes Ten years is indeed a long time for you."

"Mother...?" Phaeton suddenly felt something was wrong, "Mother, are you human?"

"Pfft." Clymene smiled, "Silly boy, of course my mother is not human. My mother's name is Clymene, the daughter of the God of the Ocean and the Goddess of the Sea, and the mother of Prometheus, the father of mankind. .”

Phaethon was dumbfounded.

Is his mother Mama so big?

"Mother, are you a sea nymph?" he asked.

"Yes," Clymenes admitted.

Phaethon... shut himself up.

After living for so many years, I just realized that my parents are not human.

Oh, not myself.

"Phaethon, do you want to see your father?" asked Clymene.

Phaethon nodded: "Of course I do."

"Then go, your father's palace is on Olympus, and you can climb the steps of Olympus if you inherit the blood of the gods."

As for where Olympus is...

Humans know it.

After all, if you want to sacrifice to the gods, how can you do it if you don't even know where the gods live?

So when he came back one day, Helios harvested a dirty child who looked like he had rolled on the grass.

Helios was stunned: "This is..."

Seeing that he had finally returned, Selene said helplessly, "Brother, this is your and Clymene's child."

"I asked him to wash and he didn't go, he insisted on waiting for you to come back."

Eos, who was driving the crane with Helios at the side, heard about it and looked at Phaethon carefully. He could indeed see his brother's shadow on his dirty face.

"Clymene..."

The bright and alluring goddess snorted coldly, and was about to leave angrily.

Helios was taken aback, grabbed her wrist and asked, "Why are you suddenly angry?"

"Why, do you want me to disturb your father-son reunion here?" As he spoke, he broke away from his hand and turned to leave.

Selene sighed and said to Helios, "Brother, I'll go and persuade her."

Then he hurried to chase Eos.

Lyuhelios a son whom the gods had hardly seen.

Helios: "..."

"Your mother is Clymene?" Seeing the child nodding his head, he asked again, "What's your name?"

"Phaethon." Phaeton replied in a low voice.

"Uh... Phaethon, can you take a shower first and get some sleep?" Helios coaxed.

Phaethon, who finally saw his own father, obediently obeyed.

After waking up from sleep, Phaethon saw his father's face when he saw Helios again.

His father, Helios, was sitting on the throne, and his aunts, the goddess of the full moon and the goddess of dawn, stood on both sides, and he was talking to them in a low voice.

Below, are the civil and military attendants of Helios.

On one side are the sun god, moon god, year god, century god and so on.

The sun god and the moon god here are both gods of time, not the sun and the moon.

On the other side are the gods of the four seasons, four beautiful goddesses with their own merits.

The god of spring is young and charming, with a charming and charming posture; the god of summer has eyes like stars, bright and lively, wearing a golden dress decorated with wheat ears; the god of autumn is full of demeanor, exquisite and plump, mature and charming; , with silver hair scattered, it looks like the flower of Gaoling at first glance.

Overall, they are all beauties.

Seeing him coming, Helios asked kindly, "My child, what do you want me to do?"

"Father God, people on the earth insult me ​​and my mother, saying that I am a bastard without a father." Phaethon immediately complained.

Helios: emmmmm

"So, Phaeton, what do you want to do?" Helios asked.

"Father God, I hope you can give me some credentials to prove that I am your child."

"Ah, this," Helios smiled, "of course, I will grant your wish."

"really?"

"Really, I swear in the name of the Styx River." Helios said casually.

"Father God, let me drive the sun chariot for a day 1

Helios: "...???"

Selene and Eos on the side also opened their eyes wide, and then Eos chuckled ironically, drawing Helios' comforting glance.

Eos snorted and fell silent.

"Phaethon, are you really sure?" Helios asked, "Even I have to be careful when driving the sun chariot. It is too strenuous for you to drive it with your current strength. Please change your requirements. I will satisfy you."

"No, Father God, I have made up my mind 1 Phaethon is quite firm.

Helios stared at him for a while, then sighed.

"Okay, I promise you."

Helios had to agree.

Because of his casual oath.

The oath of the Styx River must be obeyed by the gods, otherwise they will suffer strong backlash.

But who would have thought that this unlucky child would make such a request.

Those who are willing to seek death are willing to persuade them to persuade them not to wish

After the sun and moon clock in the main hall rang twelve times, Helios took Phaethon to the chariot of the sun god.

"Phaethon, are you sure you really don't think about it?" he asked.

"Father, I'm sure." Phaeton replied.

Helios sighed again.

"Your aunt Eos will lead the way for you. Just follow the track left by her golden car. Remember, it can't be too high, or it will burn the sky, and it can't be too low, or the earth will suffer. A disaster."

"Also, you can't use a whip, just let the flame horse run by itself." Helios earnestly instructed.

But he felt that [-]% was useless.

"Don't worry, Father God, I will definitely succeed." Phaeton was full of confidence.

Isn't it just driving? It's not like he hasn't driven before.

Boy, don't you know that there is a thing called flag.

Helios sighed again.

This son can't keep it.

Selene took the flame horses out of the gorgeous stables, stroked their manes tenderly, and signaled them to be good, these horses have always been very close to her.

After the attendants set up the carts, Eos pushed open the gate and jumped onto the small golden chariot. The two white pegasus with beautiful wings also matched the golden chariot, and they looked brisk and beautiful.

She glanced back and said coldly, "Follow."

Then he drove out of the Sun Temple without looking back.

Phaethon immediately followed after seeing this.

It was fine at first, and the four horses ran obediently with Eos' sky chariot, but soon, the flame horses, who were not low in IQ, found that what was behind them seemed not to be their master or the master's sister.

They started to have fun, Phaeton tried his best to control it, but unfortunately, it was useless.

The sun deviated from its original course.

It went up for a while, went down for a while, passed through the clouds for a while, evaporated the clouds, and slid across the mountain for a while, scorching the big trees.

At the highest point, the flames on the sun ignited the sky, Phaethon looked down, his face turned pale with fright, and he let go of the rein by mistake.

The sacred chariot at the highest point swooped down towards the earth.

Zeus, who was far away in Olympus, noticed the abnormality in the sky and the out-of-control sun chariot.

The divine chariot was about to fall to the earth, the sea was evaporated, the earth was cracked, and countless fertile fields were scorched into scorched earth.

Immediately, Zeus smashed the chariot with thunder.

The flaming horse was chopped to death, and Phaethon, whose body was also burning, fell into the sea, and a planet burning with raging flames emerged from the broken chariot.

It burned all the way, rushing into Helios' body.

The sun is the body of the betrothed Leon, so naturally he loves his beloved son deeply.

Seeing this, Helios' expression sank.

Phaethon, presumably dead.

He left the Sun Temple, extinguished the sun fire along the way, and looked at the burning sky and the desolate land full of sorrow.

Tsk, it looks like he has to retire this time.
