[Greek Mythology] The Love of Persephone

"Then I have your approval, can I finally get that lead arrow?"

Inside the Palace of Beauty on Mount Olympus, there are delicate flowers, luxurious treasures, and the fragrance seems to be filled with lingering lingering sounds that have never dissipated.It is a youthful, lively, joyful and passionate love, a longing with infinite tenderness, and a deep determination to follow it to any corner of the world.The music is love, the singing is love, and the singer is another incarnation of love in the world.

Before Aphrodite's throne, Orpheus played his lyre so emotionally, and wept with fond memories of the past.He sang the deepest love for his lover, which is the color that never fades in the depths of memory, and this love finally touched Aphrodite.

The god of love and beauty is rarely sentimental, she lowered her thick and curly eyelashes slightly, and sighed: "Oh! What a beautiful love! Is beauty enlightening love, or is love awakening beauty? Love and beauty are so helpless. Separate! That’s why I, Aphrodite, exist.” She held up a snow-white catkin, and said tenderly and movingly: “Handsome young man, good man, I really can’t think of anything better than that. I love your harpsichord and your singing so much more. Who can hear your singing without longing for beauty and love?"

Orpheus showed joy on his face, he almost wanted to say his request immediately, but Hermes' previous earnest advice came to mind, there is only one chance, don't be rash.The human singer bowed his head and said, "Ah, God of Beauty. I am willing to play for you."

Aphrodite couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this.She immediately ordered Orpheus to live, and gave him a house and treasures.Afterwards, the Goddess of Beauty smiled softly, turned to the God of Eloquence who was already anxious but dared not speak, and praised: "Hermes, you are really capable. I want to thank you for finding such an excellent musician for me." By!"

"It's people who admire your beauty and virtue, Your Highness." Hermes complimented calmly, but the speed of his speech still leaked his heart a little, "Then can you please honor your oath immediately, My Highness?" Know that my love, Persephone, is still waiting for me." At this moment, it was clear to him that being outspoken was no longer a hindrance.

Aphrodite really smiled and said: "Of course." So she called her son Eros.

Little Cupid rushed in, with short wings fluttering behind her.After seeing Hermes, he was cunning at first, and then he was taken aback. He hid behind his mother in a panic, but there was still a hint of mischievous pride in the corners of his brows and eyes.

"Eros, my son." Aphrodite stroked his pale golden forehead and said warmly, "Take a lead arrow, take one of your lead arrows and give Hermes, the god of eloquence, to let him go Dispel Pluto's fanaticism and make up for your big joke that day."

Eros pouted and acted coquettishly, he seemed a little unhappy: "But mother, that Pluto dared to offend your dignity, and he was not fascinated by your beauty..."

"Eros." Aphrodite laughed, she was in a relaxed and happy mood, because of her son's childish and cute look - which was very rare for her.It was probably because the mortal's music was so beautiful that she was still in the aftertaste of beautiful love. Aphrodite said with a light smile: "Forget it, child, haven't you already proved for me that even the cold and cold Hades , must also submit to the power of love? Alas, the god of eloquence has done me a favor, and I can never ignore his request."

"Okay then." Eros said, cuddling happily in his mother's arms, but the chubby hand skillfully pulled out a lead arrow from behind and handed it to Hermes, "Then I will give it to Hermes." You, Hermes of eloquence, since my mother has asked for it."

"Thank you for your help." Hermes said quickly.On the one hand, he is very anxious to rescue Persephone, on the other hand, it is really difficult for him to have any good face towards Eros, the beginning of everything.In particular, the pain between myself and Persephone during this period turned out to be just a joke started by the other party!

But at this moment, Eros called out to stop him, saying, "Hey, God of Liars!"

Little Cupid was lying contentedly in his mother's arms, his laughter was like a silver bell, and he said generously:

"I see that you are not as arrogant as the sun god Apollo, so I kindly tell you a piece of news. If you want to use the magic power of lead arrows to make Hades, the king of the underworld, hate the goddess of spring, it will not be an easy task. You may want to say, even a child like me can shoot a hit arrow, why is it not easy? That is because my lead arrows and gold arrows have unique magical powers, but those who hit one of them One of them will be extremely sensitive to the approach of the other!"

Hermes immediately stopped at this sentence.

This is really a side issue, but he has to thank Little Cupid for reminding him not necessarily kindly.

And Eros still laughed and said: "So, if you can't find a chance to hit it with one blow, there is no hope of getting rid of your obsession! When the magic power of the golden arrow gradually recedes, the dust has already settled. Ten thousand years later! If you don’t shoot this arrow, you will lose all hope. But, wise Hermes, if you think about it, you will know how defensive Hades will be to you .And he is an extremely powerful main god, even the god king Zeus dare not provoke easily. So, clever liar god, what kind of solution do you want to come up with? I am not willing to be the patron of merchants Give you another lead arrow!"

In Eros's heart, after all, he was a little unhappy to be stopped for pranking.Coupled with his natural mischievous temper, although it was a good reminder, in the end it seemed to be a bit of a joke.This temperament makes it difficult for him to please the gods, but he is not wronged.The little Venus had only his mother in his heart.

"I will think of a more comprehensive solution, and I will definitely not waste the only lead arrow." Hermes said.

He clenched the hard-earned lead arrow in his hand, nodded heavily at Orpheus, who was full of worry and encouragement, and said goodbye to Aphrodite and Eros.Then he turned around and left the Palace of Beauty without looking back: "I have to go, Persephone is still waiting for me to save her! I can't live up to her expectations!"

"This lead arrow is our last hope! I must seize this hope!"

Hermes' voice stopped abruptly.

Because at that moment, he heard a faint whimpering sound coming from his ear.That was Ye Di, whom he was all too familiar with, and that was the lover he worried about day and night.

It was Persephone calling his name.
