[Greek Mythology Saint Hades Mythology LC] Golden Age

My mother Leto was offended and humiliated by Niobe. At the same time that Apollo and I were going to take revenge, our father, God Zeus, who came to visit her, learned of it.

Contrary to the tyrannical god Hera, the mother's tears hung on her cheeks like the dewdrops of the starry night. The father felt sympathetic to her, but at the same time he was furious. Weeping and crying forever, turning all the residents of Thebes into stone.

"Apollo, Artemis, my dearest children, you have done well." Father was very pleased with our revenge for killing seven princes and seven princesses.He sits on a pure gold throne, showing the golden brilliance of the great god, "Humans are such humble creatures, any offense to the gods must be severely punished. Only in this way, human beings will know how to submit and worship piously, Pray for God's protection with all your heart."

He looked at Apollo and me lovingly, "What do you want as a reward? A statuette of Victory made of gold and ivory? Or a wreath made of olive branches? My beloved children."

I opened my mouth, but before I could say anything, Apollo replied with a smile, "Father, the great Almighty God, the reward I want is to listen to your truth and justice, and to engrave your teachings on the gods. On the golden pages, let the muse of literature and art strum the strings, and spread widely."

Father laughed out loud, and the face of Goddess Hera sitting next to him was ashen-yes, everyone can see that our brothers and sisters are the most favored children of God, and Apollo with shining golden hair must be the future Olympia's heir.

----Apollo and his father are so similar.Zeus loves Apollo as much as he loves himself.

"Artemis, my beautiful daughter, you haven't spoken your wish yet."

Apollo turned his gaze to me, "Sister, have you considered your wish?"

Seeing that I opened my mouth but was speechless, Apollo laughed again, "Ah, father, my sister has been working very hard recently - because I need to monitor that sinner on the Caucasus Mountain every night, no matter what reward my father and sister want , father must promise to sister."

I glanced at my brother Apollo.He smiled back at me.

The father's expression became serious, "That's right. Artemis, does that sinner still have no intention of repenting? Remember, this sinner who intends to subvert the relationship between God and man must be nailed to the Caucasus forever." Accept punishment on the cliff!"

"But, Father——" I raised my head, thinking about my words, "You are the greatest and most benevolent god, why can't you see that he has made great achievements for you in the battle with the Titans, forgive me ----"

"Artemis!!" My father interrupted me majestically. "This sinner was born in the Titan family. It was because of the advice he gave that I didn't imprison him in the underground world. Instead, I gave him the same honor and status as the twelve main gods of Olympus. But this sinner——he actually dared to make human beings dare to confront God!!"

"He stole the fire and made man the king of all things—Apollo, Artemis, remember, as soon as man got more from God and learned more—then You will gradually despise the gods. Isn’t what happened to your mother Leto enough to prove this? This kind of sin cannot be forgiven anyway!”

The voice of the Great God Zeus shook like thunder in the Holy Land - "Humans must sincerely respect and worship God in order to receive God's protection and blessing!"

After leaving the temple of the main god, Apollo stopped me and whispered in my ear, "Sister, we are twin compatriots, you can't hide your thoughts from me. And I don't want my sister to be implicated or punished in any way, so, sister- ---"

He lowered his voice, "Sister, please don't plead for that sinner."

Distraught, I turned my head away, trying to shake off Apollo's hand on my shoulder.

"Sister is in deep trouble." He sighed. "To be honest, I also admire his courage and wisdom--to take the fire from the burning wheels of my sun chariot. But, sister, father Is irresistible, Zeus is irresistible."

Seeing that my face was getting paler and paler, Apollo was silent for a while, and said to me, "I hope my sister will be happy, my sister's tears will break my heart together - if my sister can't bear to see him suffer, why don't you go Find a way to quietly make him less painful... Sister, have you already done this?"

That night, I carried the last drop of laurel dew mixed with the gift of Dionysus, and quietly came to the cliff of Caucasus Mountain.

When he saw me, his anxious expression relaxed.His eyes were shining brightly, and he said in a cheerful tone, "Great, Artemis, it seems that you have not been blamed by Zeus. You shouldn't have shot the Condor today, thanks to Apollo's shot to stop it." .”

I lowered my head and said softly, "I thought you passed out."

He smiled, as if to appease me, "It's just that the sunlight in the daytime was a bit dazzling, so I closed my eyes. Don't worry, Artemis, I've long been used to the condor."

Seeing me in a trance, "Artemis, talk to me first."

I slowly stretched out my hand and brushed away the messy hair on his forehead, "Today I...I killed seven humans. They were all girls, and the youngest was about five or six years old. In front of their mothers, I face, and kill one with one arrow."

Those eyes, which were always full of gentleness, were taken aback, "Artemis..."

I bit the tip of my tongue tightly, almost tasted the blood, but I stubbornly raised my eyes to meet him, with tears rolling in my eyes stubbornly.

"Artemis, your fingers are trembling...don't be afraid." He said softly after a while, "you are still a child... I know, you are the most gentle and beautiful moonlight, Artemis, Don't be afraid. Come here and tell me, what happened?"

Tears flowed, I hugged him crying, and told the truth about Eobe's disrespect to my mother and what happened to him.

The wisest god in Olympia, the most far-sighted wise man, fell silent after listening.

After a long time, I heard his still gentle voice in my ears, "Artemis, this kind of thing will never happen again, right? You were originally the gentle and beautiful moonlight that illuminates the cliffs of the Caucasus , not being callous and domineering."

I laughed and wept again.Choking with sobs, he nodded and buried his head in his temple hair.

"Okay, don't cry, Artemis...It's a pity that I can't hug you and comfort you, but today, I still want to say, thank you."

He said firmly, "Thank you for convincing me that both human beings and gods need to examine themselves and re-establish their relationship with each other. Human beings need to become more humble and generous. They need the inspiration and guidance of wisdom."

He looked at me listening blankly, and smiled slightly. The starlight in the sky was completely dimmed in front of such a wise smile.

"And gods, why do they have to be worshiped by humans? Love and loyalty from the heart can't be obtained through fear."

The author has something to say:

Of the two protagonists, one completely gave up being a god without hesitation, and was reincarnated as a human being to be personally influenced.

The other one was cursed by the angry father - because he wanted to go with the one he loved.But she was blocked by Pluto and did not become a human.

The following plot will temporarily break the Olympia myth line.Focus on telling the myth of Pluto.
