She received the gift of God [Greek mythology]

Hermes regretted it when he offered to teach Pandora the trick.

The annoyed and powerless emotions reached their peak when he hugged her from head to back.He shouldn't have taught Pandora the skills to trigger changes to overthrow Zeus's plan, he shouldn't have stayed in Ilysion, he shouldn't have expressed his love for her openly... and he shouldn't have added sincerity when he lied.Equally strong as remorse is light joy.

--Otherwise you will stay with me forever.

I don't know if it's a malicious imitation of the Lord of Hades, or a stupid wish that won't come true.

Pandora was taken aback by what he said, or she might just be stumped by this tricky question.She must not have imagined what kind of thought she would be able to arouse when she rubbed the hair on his neck.She was leaning quietly in his arms, trying to make up a new set of rhetoric.

Hermes didn't mind that Pandora couldn't answer.Then he could hold her like this all the time.

Regarding Pandora's strange attraction to him, he was too lazy to fight.Whether he likes it or not, the golden arrow of love has quietly poked a hole in him, and every gust of wind that passes through the hole is stirring the flames up, making them burn more intensely and longer.

Is Eros snickering at his gaffe?

Hateful Eros.Hermes has scolded Eros too often these days, and he is a little bored.But still have to scold.

Just because of a few chats with Apollo, Eros felt that his dignity was offended, so he drew his bow under the eyes of Zeus.Venus shot Hermes with a malicious golden arrow, and the fire of love that did not belong to him began to burn blazingly.Out of selfishness, he found a reasonable excuse to delay the deadline for sending Pandora away, and took her to Ilysion outside of time.

Originally, he had already taken her away today.

However, a series of accidents and a revived desire stopped him.

In fact, there is still time to change your mind temporarily.There is no need to teach how to lie and cheat, Pandora is enough to fascinate kings and mortals alike.As long as you disregard the agreement you made with Pandora, send her directly to the top of the snow-covered mountain, and then drive her down to the mortal world to ensure that Prometheus' younger brother, Epimetheus, will The Tan protoss took her hand, and Hermes just made another contribution to the Father God.

Except for Eros, the culprit, and Zeus, who can always find out the truth in the end, no one would know that Pandora's smile once made him dizzy.After all, he really didn't do anything to her, not even a serious kiss.

In just three or four days, it is very easy for the immortal gods to put it aside into the abyss of memory that will never be unsealed.What's more, once you leave Zhifuleyuan, everything here is as if it never happened.When human beings are destroyed and created again by the gods, he may only vaguely remember the trivial matter of naming the gifts of the gods.

In the end, it still didn't work out.

Hermes was more sober than when the golden arrow hit him for the first time. He had carefully considered the pros and cons of everything and every step, but he still chose the path that was contrary to reason without exception.He has known for a long time that it is difficult for the ignorant gift of the gods to have a happy ending after completing the mission.The owner of the garden brought his worries to the surface instead of him, and it was Hermes who decided.

Purely selfish.

This feeling is very strange, but also quite new.

Many contradictory considerations were not very important when Pandora turned her body sideways and looked up at him.

"Do you want me to stay with you?" Her quiet gray eyes fixed on him, giving the illusion of affection.

She's just impersonating Persephone.

It's like he's answering in Hades' shoes.

"Yes, forever. More eternal than death."

"I... It's not that I don't want to be by your side. You treat me very well." Pandora said so, slowly put a hand on his shoulder, and hooked half of his neck.Hermes could feel her cautious hesitation, and she still remembered him making weird noises because of similar intimate movements.

"But my farewell to my mother was too hasty. Besides, I don't want her to resent you. I want to be with you again after I get her blessing." She sighed softly, as if it was really because of Demeter and Ha Feeling a headache from the complicated relationship between Des and Des, there was a long and melancholy silence.

Then, she pulled out the thin folds of the clothes on Hermes' shoulders, and sincerely suggested: "You and I, let's go to see mother together. Okay?"

The charm of Aphrodite's gift is mixed with a little childish cunning, and the effect is amazing.

Even if traces of other intentions can be seen, it is difficult for the listener to refuse.

Hermes was silent for a long time.There was a subtle dissatisfaction with Hades, who only existed in assumptions.

Pandora thought that this plan had gone wrong again, pursed her lips and lowered her gaze.

He let go of her, and said nonchalantly: "This time the idea is very good. Simple but effective. Especially for the person who already has a crush on you, this attitude of putting yourself in the other person's shoes is very effective."

She blinked curiously: "Hades has a crush on Persephone?"

Hermes suppressed the urge to sigh, and explained peacefully: "Of course. And he knew that Demeter would not agree to hand over his daughter's hand to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't go to great lengths to take her away."

"So," Pandora suddenly looked at the grass, as if worried that the two protagonists they were talking about would hear her disrespectful question underground, "What does Persephone think? Does she have a crush on Hades?"

"If it were you, would you?"

Pandora's eyes dodged: "I... am not a goddess. I don't know."

She had an opinion on this, but tried to cover it up, and even asked the question back: "Did she tell you anything when you drove her to meet Demeter?"

"Even if she really said something, I don't dare to spread it casually now." Hermes teased and perfunctory, "After that, Persephone is the mistress of the underworld, which is beyond doubt."

After a pause, he said with a slightly serious face: "No matter how ingenious the lie is, you must also pay attention to the person you lie to. I don't recommend lying to the gods. Even if you deceive the other party, you will also incur terrible retribution."

Pandora nodded immediately: "I dare not."

"But I don't mind if you try to deceive me." Hermes propped his forehead with one hand, tilted his head to look at her, and smiled, "If you can deceive me once, I have a reward for you."

Pandora didn't take it seriously.How could she have lied to him.

Hermes was already searching among the oak branches for the next suitable leaf.

"Since Aphrodite gave you a blessing, this example is very appropriate."

Pandora didn't take it immediately.Because she was surprised to find that the leaf that had just filled her mind with the story of Demeter and Persephone had disappeared.

"Even if the leaves of the Elysion Oak are picked off, the truth will not disappear." Hermes saw through her doubts and explained in due course.

She nodded and took the new oak leaf.

The second time she accepted new knowledge in this way, she was not so dizzy and quickly understood the content.

There was a young shepherd who was as handsome as a god, and his face captured the heart of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty.After taking a bath, the goddess smears her skin with fragrant essential oils, puts on a beautiful dress, and goes to the mountains and fields, where she finds the young man she likes in the shepherd's hut.Fascinated by Aphrodite, the shepherd recognized her as something extraordinary, praised her beauty and brilliance, and begged the goddess to bless him with long life and great fame.

Aphrodite lied that she was not immortal: she was the daughter of some distant king.She said that when she performed a sacrificial dance to Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, Hermes stole her from the crowd in obedience to the father's will, only to bring her to the shepherd and make her his wife.

The shepherd believed Aphrodite's words.

Pandora couldn't help looking at Hermes.From this point of view, as the messenger of the gods, he often ran around with the beautiful maiden, just as he carried her all the way from Olympus to Ilysion.So commonplace that mortals find Aphrodite's lies believable.She couldn't even tell how she felt.But just wanted to see him more.

Hermes met her gaze without avoiding it.

He wondered if she would be jealous.

Pandora turned the oak leaf over and over in her hand, said nothing, and turned her attention back to the story.

When the shepherd awoke the next day on his bed covered with bearskin, he saw the goddess's figure brighter than the morning light.He immediately understood that he had been deceived, and in a panic covered his beautiful face with his cloak, tremblingly begging Aphrodite to be kind to him--mortals who sleep with the goddess, the future is bleak.

Aphrodite calmed down a little, and then warned the shepherd that if he dared to brag about this night as a talking point, the thunder from Zeus would immediately burn him into dust.Then she left the shepherd and his flock and returned to Olympus.

The short encounter between Beauty and the Shepherd is obviously simpler and clearer, but Pandora has more questions.

"Why would the shepherd believe what Aphrodite said?"

Hermes smiled softly: "When you have an uncontrollable charm, lies will become more believable. And..." He paused, green eyes cast a mocking glance. "She said what the shepherd wanted to hear. Everyone is more willing to believe the nonsense they want to believe."

Pandora took this teaching seriously.When lying, you must consider your own purpose, act out of consideration for the other party, and say what the other party wants to hear.It will be easier if the other party already has a good impression.

"Also, completely fabricated lies are easy to spot, but when you mix in the facts properly, or hide key things, it's not so easy for the listener to detect that you're lying."

Pandora was silent for a moment, but still couldn't help it: "For example, you often kidnap girls?"

Hermes chuckled happily.She realized that this was exactly what he was waiting for, she became embarrassed for no reason, and turned her face away.

He turned to look at her resolutely, and coaxed: "I am only responsible for escorting. It's not that I want to take them away. And it's not just girls, travelers who need help, seriously injured soldiers, lost dead, and There are orphans who are abandoned, and I will guide them."

Originally, Pandora just felt a little unspeakable in her heart. Hermes explained it this way, and she immediately accepted it.

Seeing her regain her composure so quickly, Hermes couldn't help but want to smile wryly.

He was the only one who was shot by the golden arrow.Everything is the effect of the arrow of love.Without the intervention of Eros, a large number of gods or mortals will still fall in love foolishly and willingly.His case was different.His sometimes ferocious and sometimes tender feelings for Pandora are only suitable for phantoms that swell and then die in the Field of Paradise.Would it be more active, as Eros suggested, to possess her, make her respond to him, and then end the dream in good time after having fun?

Hermes hasn't made up his mind yet.

Even so, he was willing to pay her in advance to teach her something she would use after leaving him.

"I still have a question." Pandora stroked the veins of the oak leaves, and spoke again.

Hermes motioned her to continue.

"Aphrodite and the shepherd slept on a bed covered with bearskin. What happened after that? Ye Zi didn't say anything." She frowned slightly, seriously distressed by the unexpected blankness.

Hermes was rarely speechless.

It is reasonable for Athena, who is not moved by lust|desire, to not give Pandora this kind of knowledge, but what about Aphrodite?He thought she just lacked strong feelings, and now it seemed more than that.

"You'll understand later."

He replied in this way, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think with some regret, alas, if he was a little more despicable, he would take the opportunity to give an answer by himself.
