[Greek Mythology] The Love of Persephone

Ever since she got the promise of the mother goddess Demeter that day, the goddess of spring, who couldn't help but enjoy herself, began to play in the world.

At the beginning, she was like a pure and ignorant fawn, anxious and uneasy because she came to a new land; but when she realized how soft the grass blades are under her feet, how crystal dew is on the flowers, how the wind in the forest is. After being soft, she will no longer run away shyly because of troubles.

Persephone is like a newborn child. When she loses her vigilance to the surrounding environment, her lively nature gradually emerges.The corners of her white skirt brushed over every blade of grass on the ground, and her soft lips kissed every flower in the world.Wherever she goes, life is full of vitality and everything grows, and the goddess of spring bestows her joy and joy on the world.

And of course Hermes.

Ever since they first met in the forest that day, and the goddess of fertility promised her freedom to leave the temple, Persephone and Hermes have often played together.They sat together in the white clouds, and Persephone sprinkled flowers on the world, laughing happily.And Hermes plucked his lyre, and stories and legends were told.The God of Eloquence is the messenger of the gods. He travels in the three worlds and has a wide range of knowledge. No matter where he goes, there are endless interesting things to tell, which makes Persephone laugh endlessly.Sometimes Persephone, encouraged by him, let go of her voice and sang a song. The clear and sweet voice made the skylark feel ashamed.But this naive and shy girl turned her face to ask her brother, is the singing too vulgar?Made her brother love him.

They run in the mountains and forests, play by the springs, and walk in the sea of ​​flowers.The beauty created by the divine power of the goddess of spring is something that the gods of Olympus have never seen.Hermes brings a pure white lamb, or a beautiful and strong bull.The former bleats and bleats comfortably in Persephone's soft embrace, while the latter carries the pure and beautiful goddess on her back, stretching her neck and mooing.The sweet smile never disappeared from the faces of Persephone and Hermes, and they fell in love instantly.And the sweetness of love is enough to make the young lovers linger.

On this day, the Goddess of Spring drove vines with divine power and made a long swing.As soon as she sat on the swing, the vine burst into bursts of fragrant flowers.As soon as Hermes pushed, the swing sent Persephone's silver-bell-like laughter to the sky.Carefree goddess of spring, wandering between heaven and earth.And the god of liars and thieves stepped aside as soon as the swing didn't need to be pushed, took down a green leaf that was about to drip, and played the leaf flute for his beloved goddess.Ye Di's timbre is crisp and melodious, together with Persephone's laughter, constitute the most beautiful movement.Finally, the swing stopped, and Persephone threw her white skirt into Hermes' arms with a smile.

"Dear Hermes!" said the Goddess of Spring passionately, "the taste of love is so fragrant and sweet that the most hard-hearted heart will indulge in it, let alone us weak ones. You are by my side, It is the source of endless joy. I miss you from the moment I parted, until your dark green eyes look into my heart again! Hermes, I am so greedy for the time with you, Because it is as sweet as honey, I am willing to let time stay at this moment. Your words are like flowers, but what you hide is the same beautiful sincerity; your face is as charming as the morning glow, but I I know that is far from being as clever as you are. Good Hermes, I am more and more reluctant to leave your side. Thinking of that terrible prophecy really breaks my heart!"

Hermes tenderly kissed Persephone's eyelashes, hugged her warm and soft body, and said solemnly: "Good Persephone! I am fascinated by you. You are so beautiful Blonde hair like the rays of the sun, blue eyes better than the sweetest words, delicate lips with the sweet fragrance of a lover - how longing to kiss her! Persephone, my beloved goddess. Your gentle and innocent character It is rare in the world, and that pure majesty is even more refreshing. Not to mention your blushing shyness, how humble you are to the beauty you have! Persephone, my beloved Persephone, I would swear by the Styx of Hades, the river of oaths that must never be broken—that no matter how terrible fate befalls you, I will never leave you. No matter what kind of power wants to plunder your beauty, I dare to fight with him. Until the end of my life, I will not give up our love. Persephone, my love, no one can take you Take it from me!"

"Oh, Hermes!" Persephone sobbed, and buried her face in the chest of the God of Eloquence, "What should I give in return for your deep affection!"

Hermes' breathing suddenly became rapid, and he gently but firmly pushed the goddess of spring down on the soft, fresh and green grass. Hearing the heartbeat of Persephone's fawn, Hermes laughed softly.The messenger of the gods stared at the flushed cheeks of the goddess of spring, slowly lowered her head, and kissed away the crystal clear teardrops on her flower-like face one by one.Then the young man with dark green eyes, with a smile on his face, caused his lover to shyly close his eyelids, and his rapid breathing hit his face.Hermes lowered his head to hold those soft and sweet lips, sucking the sweet and sweet dew to his heart's content.This gentle, passionate and lingering kiss makes people tremble physically and mentally.Although the breath of the gods is far longer than that of ordinary people, when the reluctant Hermes finally let go of his beloved Persephone, the corners of the goddess of spring's eyes were once again soaked with tears of joy.

"Dear Hermes," she whispered, "I thought it was impossible for me to love you any more."

The God of Liar kissed the corner of her lips and said with a smile: "Until the end of time, death will not separate us." He took out the leaf flute he had just played, and carefully placed it in Persephone's soft and white palm. "My love, this is the leaf flute that I poured my divine power into. If one day you encounter disaster, please blow it immediately. No matter where I am, I will definitely come to your side."

Persephone murmured yes.Hermes kissed again, making the timid goddess of spring blush, but she never pushed away her lover—Persephone smelled the intoxicating fragrance of flowers in a trance.And an unprecedented, strange and brilliant flower bloomed from under Persephone's body, stretching all the way to the horizon.The smiling face of Hermes in the sea of ​​flowers, the young and joyful face, also penetrated deeply into Persephone's heart, becoming an indelible trace in the long spring.

The author has something to say: *The Styx River, the river of oath keeping.The oath made to this river cannot be broken.
