Bacchus in Greek mythology

"Wait for your new wings to grow before you can come back!"

The mist she had created lifted, and Hermes was finally able to run over, holding the dying siren in his arms.Her mother's words lingered in her mind over and over again, and Siren smiled bitterly, but the pain all over her body had consumed all her strength, and she could only look at the sky blankly, unable to laugh anymore.

She already knew she was wrong, she hugged her mother's leg and cried countless times, but Muse, her mother still ruthlessly drove her away.How long will it take for the wings to grow, 1000 years?

In order to go home, in order to admit her mistakes to her mother, she worked hard to live, and accompanied the goddess of hunting devoutly every day, hoping to stay with her and speed up the healing of her body; be friendly to everyone, let everyone like her, and hope that mother Seeing her attitude of sincerely correcting mistakes; living a low-key life, never arguing with anyone, staying quietly in the hunting palace, hoping to return to her hometown soon.

Even though he had tried so hard, there was still nothing he could do.One oracle made her never go home, another oracle made her never see the light.For countless nights, she wanted to resent and curse, but she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart. She hoped that the goddess of fate would not give up on her. Everything now is just a test, and the future will be better.

The Siren took a deep breath, then looked at Hermes with a smile, "I know what I'm doing, this is the only way I can do it, and I've already done it, don't persuade me, and neither can you. That's it, it's life It's death, it all depends on fate."

Hermes and the siren looked at each other for a while, then he stood up silently, and after a short pause, he said, "Understood."

He turned to leave, and the Siren sighed lowly, following his figure until he could no longer see him.

=====

Dionysus rushed back to Peloka, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Ampulos staring at the sun in a daze.

Dio happily stepped forward and gave him a reunion hug, until he hugged him tightly, Dio's heart finally fell to the ground.

He thought silently, he must hide Ampoulos and never let anyone see him.

Seeing Dio rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the room, Ampoulos asked strangely, "What are you looking for?"

Dio didn't speak, and searched for a long time, and finally found a purple red belt in a mahogany box.Ampoulos's original black cloth robe was thrown away by Dio long ago in the name of being ugly. Now he is wearing a white robe, the silky fabric can hardly find any stitches. Dio turned around and gently put it on for him. , Immediately add a lot of color.

Dio smiled with satisfaction: "It really suits you."

Ampulos looked at the belt on his body and asked suspiciously, "Why does this belt look different?"

Dio raised his eyebrows: "Can you see it?" He said with a smile, "It is woven with the hair of the ancient river god, and it can change the appearance of the owner. , you will definitely not be able to see the original appearance of this person, not even Zeus."

God Furukawa, isn't that his grandfather, no wonder there is always a familiar aura.

Ampolos thought for a while, and then laughed: "Then what do you think of me now?"

Dio sized him up a few times, making Ampoulos feel a little uncomfortable, and said, "A handsome young man with red hair and black eyes, and his skin is like that of a fisherman."

Hearing his new appearance, Ampoulos was also curious. He ran to the mirror, and it was exactly as Dio said. He turned around and asked with a smile, "Why did you give me this?"

Dio came over, and a mysterious voice rang in Ampoulos' ears: "Because...we are going to watch the excitement."

When he came to Hishalke, Dionysus transformed into an ordinary person and bought a house there.After settling down, just as he was about to go out, he heard a public voice.

"Oh, I saw you yesterday, and I saw you again today, Dionysus, after more than 1000 years, we are neighbors again."

Dio's face turned black, and she turned around silently. As expected, Athena's smiling branches trembled.

Ampulos also felt that he was very unlucky, and he could meet this person no matter where he went.I saw Athena exclaimed: "Huh? Why is it different from the one in the morning, Dionysus, don't you also step on two boats?!"

Dio's face became even darker, and he raised his forehead and roared: "What nonsense! This is Ampoulos!"

Athena leaned over curiously, looked and looked, and laughed out loud, "It's so fast, you acted right after you finished speaking. Let me see...so that's it, the belt of God Furukawa, it's so handy, I At home, the things of the ancient gods are enshrined."

As she spoke, she moved closer to Ampoulos. In terms of height, Athena was taller than both Dio and Ampoulos. She looked down at Ampoulos intimately, and whispered, "Look how much he cares about you. He will send you off like this all at once." Precious things, but don't hurt his heart."

In the last sentence, Athena's eyes instantly became sharp.All gods have the power of prophecy, maybe she noticed something, Ampoulos forced a calm smile: "Of course not."

Looking into Ampulos' eyes searchingly, Athena couldn't see anything. Dio was about to get angry. Athena straightened up knowingly, then turned and walked out: "I don't care about you, I'm going to see Battle situation, see you later."

Dio frowned and looked at her back, muttering softly, "It's inexplicable."

Ampoulos lowered his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Dio's instructions: "Don't run around, if I'm not by your side, you can only stay here. It's not that you are not allowed to go out, but that it is too much here. It's dangerous."

Hishalke, adjacent to Troy, is the only place on land that can enter Troy. Of course, that road has long been closed.

Ampulos nodded obediently, and assured him: "Don't worry, I won't run around."

Diom touched his cheek before spreading his wings and leaving.Ampulos stood at the door, watching him go further and further away.

Everyone can see the intention of Zeus. On the surface, he is supporting Troy, but in fact he is fighting for the son of Thetis, Achilles. As long as the Greeks put down their dignity and beg Achilles, the war will change immediately. The wind direction, and those gods who support Troy don't know what will happen.

A bloody storm is about to unfold, and all the gods will be involved, and Dionysus will not be spared.

Ampulos sat on a bench in the garden, staring at the colorful flowers in front of him in a daze.

In addition to the color of blood, the underworld is black that swallows everything, and there is also a little milky white of narcissus. He has not seen such a bright thing for a long, long time.

Since ten years ago, the underworld has suddenly become noisy and crowded.Every time I go to the River of Pain to find water, Charon’s boat is full of undead. They wear warrior armor and stare blankly into the distance. The corpses and rotting blood in the river make them tremble and uneasy. Theirs is hell or paradise.

Regardless of the king or the common people, they must pass through such a river after death, and understand how good they have experienced in this life before they can enter eternal pain or joy.

What impressed me the most was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with blood gushing from his throat and only half of his armor left.In war, the victor slit the throat of the vanquished and took off his armor as trophies.The child who has not yet grown up is a defeated one.

He was still looking at the surrounding world in a daze, until Charon stretched out his hand in front of him, a black and dirty hand, and Charon said expressionlessly: "A silver dollar."

The young man searched around in a panic, not to mention silver dollars, there was nothing of value.The war continues, and the victor brazenly takes away all his belongings. In the real world, corpses are piled up like mountains. Who will remember to leave a silver dollar for this child?

Charon believes that if the deceased cannot afford even a dollar, it shows how vicious he was in life, so that no one pays homage to him after death, so he is not worthy of being crossed across the river, and can only wander alone at the gate of the underworld , Even ups and downs in the river of pain, until someone is willing to pity him and help him pay.

After staying in the underworld for too long, I have heard all the miserable stories and seen all the sad people, and I will be affected by them for a while, but then it is difficult to be moved again.

But the Siren still took out a piece of gold from her clothes, and Pearl often gave her things, although she didn't use them.

"Take him away, and those fighters who have no money, take them away."

It was only this time to give mercy, and then she didn't go there anymore, she couldn't help all the undead, so why bother to make herself uncomfortable.

After waiting on the bench for a long time, Dio still didn't come back.Looking at the sun, it was almost dusk. Although Dio did not allow him to move around, there was blood for war in everyone's bones. Ampoulos hesitated for a while, and then walked out of the city.

The house Dio bought was right next to the city wall. Because of the war, he spent almost no money. After walking a few steps, Ampoulos came outside the city.The dilapidated wooden boat was overturned on the beach, and the place where the eyes looked was desolate. This is just the neighboring country of Troy. Looking into the distance, you can see the city wall of Troy built by Poseidon and Apollo. What will it look like there? Woolen cloth?

There is always a thick fog shrouded in the sky over Troy. Ampulos tried his best to look there, but he couldn't see the white tower inside clearly. He stepped forward a little bit, but he still couldn't see clearly. , go a little further...

"Who are you, why do you always look at Eliam?"

Ampulos was taken aback and turned to look at him, both of them were shocked.

This man was tall, with a pair of heroic eyes shining brightly, and his wheat-colored skin showed his masculinity. Ampulos stood there blankly, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether the other party was a man or a god.

The man squinted his eyes and was also looking at Ampoulos. He hesitated for a while before saying, "Are you...the god of the river? The god of the sea?"

Ampulos was stunned for a moment, only his pair of blue eyes and blue hair could be considered as the god of the river, which are the symbols of the sea and rivers, but neither humans nor gods can see his original appearance. It can be seen that after a little thought, he understood who the person in front of him was.

Ampoulos smiled and extended his hand friendly: "Hello, son of man and god, Achilles."
