[Greek Mythology] The Possibility of Male Gods and Female Clothes

Lachesis agreed to his request.

Prometheus was relieved.That's the end of Lachesis' conversation with him.

When leaving, Lachesis took a last look at Prometheus behind him.In the howling strong wind, he was tied to the rock, and he could only open his chest and wait for the arrival of the hungry eagle.Even so, Prometheus still bears all this with his head held high.

In a way, he is indeed an admirable existence.

Since Lachesis promised him to help, he would do it.

Prometheus' younger brother is called Epimetheus. Compared with his elder brother's wisdom and quick-wittedness, Epimetheus's wisdom can only be said to be sufficient. If one can be added, it is enough to listen to Prometheus. if.

In order to create human beings more conveniently, he and Prometheus lived on the earth most of the time. When Lachesis found him, he was talking with the bison in the field.

"Epimetheus." Lachesis called out his name. The other party was using the appearance of a young man, and he was deliberately stunned for a moment when he heard Lachesis' call.

Seeing him like that, Lachesis felt something in his heart, and then felt sorry for Prometheus.

He felt that perhaps Epimetheus this time could not accomplish what Prometheus asked for.

Probably it took a long time to remember the identity of Lachesis. Epimetheus ran to Lachesis, panicked: "Is there anything you need me to do when you come?"

Lachesis shook his head and told him why he came: "I'm here to convey the words of your brother Prometheus."

When Prometheus was mentioned, Epimetheus was taken aback, and then a look of sadness flashed across his face.

Epimetheus was closer to his brother Prometheus than to his father who was cast into Tartarus.He is not the kind of smart god who always finds out that he has done something wrong, and it is Prometheus who helps him finish it every time.

But he was so useless, he couldn't do anything when Prometheus was punished by Zeus.

He could not even go up to the Caucasus Mountains to see his brother.

"Excuse me, what did my brother say?" He looked at Lachesis eagerly, and the worry in him couldn't be faked.

Lachesis relayed the truth: "He hopes that you will not accept any gifts from Zeus, or in other words, from Mount Olympus."

"Is it all right?" Epimetheus asked.

He is not greedy for money or other gods, it would be too simple if it was just that.

Epimetheus agreed straight away: "Don't worry, I will definitely obey my brother's orders."

Lachesis glanced at it, nodded and didn't make too many comments.

It's really an answer full of fg.

A child ran not far away, and he came to Epimetheus' side and hid behind his lap.

Lachesis was puzzled: "This is?"

Prometheus rubbed the child's round head, and introduced his identity with a smile: "He is called Deucalion, and he is the last child created by my brother."

Lachesis nodded, and smiled after sweeping his eyes over him.

This child seemed a little strange, and Lachesis saw a glimmer of life in him.

Lachesis left after completing his task. Before leaving, he glanced behind the big tree not far away, showing a warning.

Behind the bushes, Hermes was startled, and then broke out in cold sweat.

It seems to have been discovered.

He was the son of Zeus and the goddess Maia, and his mother was not of noble status compared to his other brothers and sisters.Even other brothers and their mothers have the identity of Zeus's wife, but his mother can only be regarded as a lover.

Under such circumstances, Hermes has become one of Zeus's most important gods by virtue of his eloquent mouth and his own speed.Even Hera, who was dissatisfied with him at first, had a much better attitude toward him recently because he would use him sometimes.

Today he was ordered by Zeus to monitor Epimetheus, but he saw this scene unexpectedly.At first, Hermes really thought that he had got the good news and wanted to claim credit from Zeus, but when he thought of Lachesis' look before he left, Hermes felt a chill in his heart.Originally, he wanted to add fuel to the story and say something more, but now Hermes feels that he only needs to warn the truth, and the rest depends on what Zeus will do.

Anyway, it doesn't matter who is going to do something, he definitely doesn't want to offend Lachesis.

Hermes' intuition told him the danger of Lachesis, which had helped many before, was something Hermes believed more than anything.

After thinking it over in his heart, Hermes made a decision.

It doesn't matter, anyway, Zeus is the one who will make the decision at that time, and he is the one who offends others, as long as he obeys orders obediently.

Hermes glanced at the sad Epimetheus again, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

On the other side, Lachesis had already returned to the temple. As soon as he entered the temple, he opened the water mirror to observe the news from Mount Olympus.

Hiding behind is Hermes, and Lachesis has a little impression of this new god.He seems to be a little clever, and he is also highly regarded by Zeus.Among Zeus's children, he was not targeted too much by Hera.

On Mount Olympus, Zeus was still angry after Prometheus stole the fire.As the king of gods, he was actually deceived by Prometheus, and even let him successfully steal the fire and give it to humans.

Zeus's anger is not only on Prometheus, even the human beings helped by Prometheus are the source of his anger.

He gathered the gods together and expressed his anger: "Everyone, just a while ago, my friend Prometheus was bewitched by humans, and he stole the fire from heaven and gave it to humans. Now, can you tell me , how to punish those bold guys?"

You must know that since Prometheus used tricks to reduce the burden of human beings on offerings, their lives are much happier than before.Coupled with the fire to resist the severe cold, winter is not so terrible for human beings, and the development of these human beings has become more prosperous.

Athena felt a little guilty about Prometheus, but she couldn't keep Prometheus under the wrath of Zeus.Now after hearing that Zeus is going to attack humans, she wants to help a group of humans.

"Those human beings were created by Prometheus. They can't even reproduce for the next generation to survive. Now that there is no Prometheus, we just have to wait for the non-reproductive human beings to perish on their own."

Zeus's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, "Athena, what did you say?"

Athena was puzzled, and hesitated to say what she had just said.

"Yes, that's it." Zeus laughed, looked at the gods and announced, "I want to give a gift to mankind."

He lowered his voice and said word by word: "A most beautiful woman."

The gods looked at each other, not knowing what he meant, but at this moment, Hermes came back, with him, and the warning he had overheard about Prometheus.

After hearing this, Zeus smiled instead of anger, and said, "My old friend really has a good heart with me."

The gods nodded, feeling a little pity for Prometheus.

This luck is too bad.But next, it is those humans who will suffer.

Zeus' eyes moved to Hephaestus, and the order appeared: "Hephaestus, next time, I want you to use your most exquisite skills to create the most beautiful woman."

Hephaestus listened and agreed sullenly.

In fact, up to now, the gods don't know what Zeus' intention is.

He said that he wanted to punish mankind, but he wanted to create the most beautiful woman. Isn't this a gift to mankind?

Athena felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't refute Zeus' meaning clearly, so she could only smile with the gods, but her expression was extremely ugly.

In any case, Zeus got inspiration from her, which has completely contradicted her original wish.

Hephaestus left after taking the order.In order to ensure that this woman can be successfully created, Zeus asked Artemis to be the model of Hephaestus, asked several muses to give him inspiration, and asked Apollo to be the reviewer of this woman. beautiful woman.

It was rare for Mount Olympus to have such a passionate scene. Lachesis felt a little ridiculous when he saw the gods working hard for an order from Zeus.

It seems that this woman was created with great pains, just to teach mankind a lesson.

Zeus really took great pains.

However, what he did was also an act that operated in accordance with the law.

Just like what Athena said, there were only men in the past, and there were no women. They could only be created by the hands of gods.It's just that after the existence of the first woman, reproduction becomes an easy task.

The woman created by Zeus brought disasters to human beings, but also gave human beings the ability to reproduce on their own.

When human beings separated the matter of reproduction from the gods such as Prometheus, this was the first step for them to become independent.

Prometheus was right, humans might destroy the gods.

But whether these human beings are the pure human beings he created is the real problem.

Everything is just a process that follows the law.

I just don't know what choice Epimetheus, who had vowed to obey his brother's opinion at the beginning, will make in the end.

Time passed little by little, and Lachesis observed all this from outside the water mirror.

Eros looked at his figure in front of the mirror, and said amusedly, "Are you so curious?"

"I just wanted to see what the most beautiful woman would look like." Lachesis propped her chin and said.

Eros was close to him, so close that they could touch each other with breath.

"You already have the most beautiful among the gods, so you still have to be tempted by the beauty of human beings."

"I'm just curious." Lachesis knew that he did it on purpose, but couldn't resist the attack in his eyes. After retreating steadily, he explained, "I won't fall in love with others."

Eros smiled, trying to tease him more and more.

Lachesis' eyes moved to the water mirror, but just as he was about to see what was going on inside, a hand blocked his eyes, and at the same time, he felt that his hand was also placed on Eros's. above the eyes.

The curled eyelashes were like small brushes, scratching his palm lightly, making Lachesis scratch his heart and lungs uncomfortably.

"what happened?"

"Shh, I can't watch it now." Eros said, "Of course, to be fair, Lachesis has the right to prevent me from watching it."

Obviously you grabbed my hand back yourself.

Lachesis thought so, but obediently did not struggle.

While they were playfully blocking each other's eyes, the gods were giving that woman everything she deserved.

When Athena put a white dress on her body, Lachesis opened his eyes. Seeing this scene, he laughed at Eros' behavior.

"It's really unnecessary, and I won't do anything to be sorry for you."

Eros asked back: "Really, I thought you would be shy, that's why?"

His mind was caught by the words, Lachesis asked back: "Then why do you have to cover your eyes?"

Eros replied: "Of course it is to get close to the customs of Lachesis."

"We need to adapt to each other, don't we?"

Lachesis held his hand quietly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

At this time, Eros' words always make him happy.Even just beautiful words can make him happy, what's more, he also put it into action, really accommodating himself.

His eyes fell on the woman with closed eyes, and he already knew her name in his heart.

"Pandora, this is your name." Zeus took out a box and handed her to the woman, "Remember, only this box cannot be opened."

This woman has a pair of charming eyes, and those eyes are watching everything curiously at this moment.

She respectfully took the child from Zeus, but she couldn't help being curious in her heart.

She wanted to know what was inside, tried to open it, but couldn't.

The God King just warned her that this box must never be opened.

It's just that the more this happened, the more intense the curiosity in Pandora's heart, even to the point of being impatient.

Athena looked gloomy, and when she saw her unconcealable curiosity, she turned her head and did not speak.

The gods looked at Pandora expectantly. They made her sit in a carriage paved with flowers and flew from the sky to the ground.

At that time, Epimetheus was holding Deucalion and telling the child the story of Prometheus. When the floats fell from the sky, he was vigilant.

He put down Deucalion in his arms, and walked towards the carriage with vigilant steps.

The scent of flowers hit his nostrils, but he was unmoved.

Epimetheus stretched out his right hand and pulled open the white curtain. When he saw the face inside, he was stunned and his mind went blank.

Lachesis has been watching all this, and is still a little disappointed seeing this.

"It really didn't resist the impact of beauty?"

"After all, not everyone belongs to Lachesis." Eros praised him at every turn, which made Lachesis blush.

Compared with being thick-skinned, he really couldn't defeat Eros.

"You are wrong." He glanced at Eros triumphantly, and said, "If I resist, how can I be with you?"

"Did I guess wrong, dear Lachesis, didn't you fall in love with me because of my beautiful qualities, but because of my beauty?"

Lachesis groaned and asked, "Otherwise?"

"So you are indeed in love with me." Eros said successfully with a smile on his face.

Lachesis suddenly realized what he had said, and just as he was about to explain, the warm touch had blocked his lips.

Unable to hold back a bite, Lachesis was intoxicated the next moment, and his consciousness also left.

Epimetheus has not yet recovered from the shock of beauty.

To be honest, Prometheus is good everywhere, but it has some strange habits.

Epimetheus lived with him in the human world for so long, but he didn't see Prometheus create a woman.He also mentioned it at the beginning, but was opposed by Prometheus.Coming and going, staying in the human world for a long time, Epimetheus has not seen a living goddess or woman for a long time.

"You are?" Epimetheus came back to his senses, looking at the beauty in front of him, his heart ached.

Pandora smiled when she saw his foolish appearance, and she was so fascinated that Epimetheus didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"My name is Pandora." Pandora's voice was also very moving, as if it was about to be engraved in the heart of Epimetheus, "it is a gift from the gods to mankind."

Epimetheus, who was already dazed, froze for a moment, and Prometheus' warning words appeared in his mind.

Do not accept any gifts from Zeus or Mount Olympus.

With a jolt in his mind, Epimetheus pulled the smile off his face, looking troubled.

Pandora was unhappy seeing his smile disappear just now.

She frowned tightly, with a look of sadness on her face.

"Did I embarrass you?"

I couldn't bear to see her look sad, but Epimetheus's newly regained sobriety began to be confused again.

He stretched out his palm, handed it to Pandora, and said, "Of course not, why would you make things difficult for me? Please be my partner, and I will make you happy."

Knowing that her mission was successful, Pandora was overjoyed in her heart, but the smile on her face was reserved.

She stretched out her soft and slender hand, and handed it to Epimetheus' extended palm.

Epimetheus was delighted when he found his lover.With all his strength, he pulled Pandora into his arms, and together with his beautiful wife, there was also the magic box bestowed on Pandora by Zeus.

Holding the box in her arms, Pandora knew that her mission was finally completed.

This is what Lachesis saw after breaking free from Eros' arms.

Sure enough, even if Prometheus had foreseen all this, some things still cannot be changed.

In the end, Epimetheus failed to heed his brother's warning and accepted Pandora, which still had a disaster in his hand.

"Is there a problem with Pandora?" Eros asked, knowing that Lachesis knew the answer.

"Zeus gave her a magic box, which contains a terrible disaster for humans." Lachesis pointed to the box in Pandora's arms and said, "The human mind is still very pure and kind, they love everything , Respect the gods, unite and love."

"No matter what, they are trying to pursue happiness."

"However, when Pandora's box is opened, all disasters and evil things will come to human beings. From then on, conflicts will increase sharply among them, and disasters will also threaten their lives."

"The premise is that the box is opened," Eros said. "Then, can they be warned not to open the box?"

"It will be counterproductive." Lachesis was a little distressed, "This is the point, Zeus counted this point, and gave Pandora a curious heart."

"If you keep reminding her not to open that box, it may instead arouse her curiosity to open that box."

"We can neither prevent the box from opening with external force, nor can we make Pandora hold back his curiosity." Eros doesn't have much affection for humans, but is curious about the development of the situation afterwards, "Then how to solve this problem? "

Lachesis looked at a happy couple in the water mirror. They leaned close together, expressing their love. Pandora's eyes were fixed on Epimetheus, as if deeply in love.

"If her love can beat her curiosity." When she realizes that her curiosity will hurt her lover, she should be able to suppress her eagerness to know everything.

Eros suddenly became interested. His eyes swept over Lachesis, as if he was thinking about something, and then said: "Let's bet, is Pandora mostly love or curiosity?"

"You choose love?" Lachesis asked first, but he knew the ending of the story. Didn't Eros deliberately trick him by saying this.

Eros' eyes darkened, and his voice lowered: "At the beginning, I said that I would help me see if the love of other people or gods can move me. In this situation, shouldn't you choose love to win?"

Lachesis was shocked.

Although he did say this, it was not what Eros meant.

Why can he use the previous words so skillfully to trick himself.

"I don't think so." The rest of the words fell under Eros's eyes. Lachesis buried his head in his legs, sighed secretly, then raised his head and said, "Okay, you choose first."

"I don't believe in her love. Naturally, I think Pandora will open the magic box." Eros was very satisfied, and answered the question for him, "Then Lachesis thinks that Pandora won't open the magic box."

No, she does.

Lachesis looked at him blankly to decide everything.

Eros seemed to really not understand, and continued: "Then in order to prevent cheating, Lachesis must not look at their fate line."

Lachesis remained expressionless.

He knew the ending without looking at it, but he still had to make a bet that he must lose. Now that he thinks about it, his brain is really funny.

Is this really the power of love?

Glancing at Eros mournfully, Lachesis conceded in his heart.

Forget it, as long as this guy is happy.

However, Eros didn't do what he wanted. He hooked a finger to his throat, and with a light sweep of his hand, Lachesis' body went limp.

"If you lose, the right to control the next time you get close to here will belong to me."
