Bacchus in Greek mythology

After a few more words, Scamander left in a hurry because he felt the breath of another god.

When Dionysus saw the figure on the ground, he swooped down anxiously, and then grabbed Ampulos' shoulder to look down. After seeing that he was fine, Dionysus finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he frowned and asked, "Where's Scamander?"

Ampulos shook his head: "I don't know, he put me here and then left."

Dio looked at Ampoulos with an inexplicable expression, and Ampoulos' heart almost jumped out. Dio shook his head, then hugged Ampoulos tightly, "It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine..."

Ampoulos' head rested on Dio's shoulder. He looked towards the distant mountains, his eyes widened slightly. Dio didn't ask or question anything, but he was relieved after seeing that he was safe and sound, as if ...he really loves himself.

Ampoulos felt the unusual beating of his heart, and couldn't help frowning, telling himself over and over again, no, he only loved himself because of the arrow of Eros, and it was the power of Cupid that confused him, that's all.

Take Ampulos back, but only back to Hishalke.Dio settled him down, and then returned to Troy. He wanted to plead guilty to Zeus. Maybe others didn't need to apologize, but he was the son of Zeus, so he had to go back.

In fact, after the God of Dionysus and the God of Rivers left, other gods basically withdrew one after another.Except for Athena and Hera, the gods who had hatred against Troy, the others were only forced to participate. Since they could withdraw, they used various reasons to gradually leave Troy.

While sitting on the bed in a daze, Hermes walked in.

Ampulos looked up, then looked down again.

Hermes walked up to him, sat with him for a while, and asked, "Are you crying?"

Ampoulos didn't answer, Hermes laughed by himself, "You are the most weeping woman I've ever seen, crying at every turn. If you put together thousands of years of tears, it's enough to make a river."

Ampoulos' voice was muffled, and he defended himself in a low voice, "I never cried before, it's from... Anyway, I don't like to cry."

Yes, the Siren used to shine like a star, how could she love to cry, but since the Battle of Athens, there were too many sad things, so she would become a crybaby.

Hermes pursed his lips stiffly, but he didn't know why he was laughing. He took out something from his pocket and handed it to Ampoulos.

"Your belt, I brought it back for you."

Ampoulos took it, held it tightly with both hands, and whispered, "Thank you."

Hermes stood up and walked out the door. When he was about to reach the door, he suddenly turned around, "Siren."

Ampulos looked up, waiting for his next words.Hermes hesitated to speak several times, and finally he could only say vaguely: "If someone comes to you recently, don't be polite, use him to your heart's content."

Hermes smiled badly, then turned and left.Ampoulos frowned and thought about this sentence, but he couldn't figure it out. He didn't know what the hell Hermes was planning.

Hermes' smile disappeared as soon as he walked out of the door, and he kept asking himself in his heart, is it right to do so?Wouldn't it really cause more trouble for the Sirens?Then he shook his head again, and told himself silently: No, no, that person has always been ashamed of Siren, and he will definitely help her.

Dionysus had withdrawn from the Trojan War, and even if Hera glared at him, he would not change his mind.Back in Hishalke, Ampulos was already asleep, still clutching the belt he gave him tightly.

Even if the gods withdraw, the war will continue.Having persisted for ten years, everyone put down their most precious things and prepared to fight to the death.

This morning, an eagle flew over from the northern sky, but when it was hunting its prey, one of its claws accidentally caught on a tree vine, and it couldn't struggle. Soon, a poisonous snake with a highly poisonous liquid crawled over. Killed it.

Ampulos watched this scene quietly, and understood what would happen today.

This is a sign brought by the goddess of fate, his friend Achilles, will die today.

Although Dio didn't participate, he didn't want to leave either.Staying here to witness the final victory just made Ampulos feel a little relieved, and accompanying him for the last part of the journey is also a respect for this hero.

Before the war started, Ampoulos went to see his friend for the last time. Achilles was cleaning his armor, which was made by Vulcan himself, just like the clothes of the God of War.

When Achilles saw the person coming, he put down the things in his hands, and came forward with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be a hero, and your archery skills are unrivaled here. Thank you, my friend."

Ampulos smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a little effort. Are you leaving?"

"Yeah, how about you, will you fight the enemy bravely today?"

Facing Achilles' expectant gaze, Ampoulos could only shake his head: "No, yesterday caused a commotion. If I go again today, I will be stoned to death."

Achilles laughed heartily: "Who will kill a real hero, then I will definitely kill him before he does it!"

Watching Achilles leave.Before he went out, he looked back at Ampulos and made a farewell gesture between men. Ampoulos smiled, but after he went out, the corners of his mouth slowly drooped.

Dio went out with him. They would not watch the war today. It was cruel to Ampoulos to see their friends die with their own eyes.

As a person, Dio was surprised that he was calm about death, but thinking about the various abnormalities of Ampoulos, he is not so much a person as a god, a god who is not surprised by favor or insult.

Back in Hishalke, Dio asked several times, and he said that he was really fine. Looking into Ampulos' eyes, Dio gradually believed it.Ampoulos has become more and more lethargic recently. He explained that the reason is that spring is approaching. Human beings are always sleepy in spring. Dio was dubious, but he checked his body and found that there was no abnormality.

After Ampoulos fell asleep, Dio left his Dionysus here and used it to protect Ampoulos.

As soon as he went out, he saw Athena looking at him coldly.

Dio froze for a moment, the frivolity and flamboyance on Athena's face had long since disappeared, and he asked strangely, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Athena twitched the corner of her mouth and said sarcastically, "If it wasn't for your little lover, Greece would have won yesterday. Remember when I said you should protect him? You really should protect him, because Hera is going crazy." .”

Dio snorted coldly: "She doesn't have the time, besides, if she dares to come, I can beat her back again."

If it was normal, Athena would have laughed and joked.But today she was really not in the mood, she always felt that the young man looked familiar, but she couldn't remember it until he jumped into the flood of the river god. Although the thick fog covered him, Athena still vaguely remembered that this The boy was exactly the same as the sea goddess back then.

It's not pleasing, it will only spoil her good deeds.

All the way to Mount Ada in silence, Thetis was surrounded by a group of sea nymphs, crying bitterly.

Apollo bowed his head, and the sun god who used to be aloof had to endure everyone's accusations.

Apollo's son was among the Trojan crowd. Seeing Achilles targeting his son, Apollo panicked.Subconsciously bent the bow and drew the arrow, the mistletoe was on the string, and the arrow hit Achilles' heel.

The hero lost his flexible legs, and of course he could no longer hurt his son.But it was a divine arrow. Achilles stood up angrily with the poisonous Apollo divine arrow, dragged his body and continued to fight until the toxin spread to his heart, and then he collapsed. .

The death of Achilles completely ignited the anger of the Greeks. They clamored to come forward and cut down all the enemies to avenge Achilles.

The Trojans ran away with their heads in their arms, and had to hide in the city wall built for them by the gods. The Greeks couldn't get in, and the Trojans couldn't get out. The war was deadlocked here again.

Apollo sat on the side slumped, and Artemis was beside his younger brother, showing embarrassment.Artemis is the peacemaker of Mount Olympus. She never disputes or asks for anything. As a virgin/goddess, no one will disturb her tranquility. Everyone respects her and will never seek her stubble.She stood beside her brother, but she couldn't defend him.

Dionysus watched all this, and suddenly remembered what Ampoulos said from time to time.

"Artemis, she is the god I admire the most." "If you want to say who deserves the most respect, of course it is the goddess of hunting." "It would be great if I could meet her."

Although he was very depressed about being compared to the Goddess of Hunting, but thinking of these things, he couldn't sit idly by.Walking to Artemis, he said to the aggressive North Wind God: "It's all to protect your own son, can you not save your own child? It has already happened, and it was already doomed. The good thing is that Apollo was blindfolded by the goddess of fate. Besides, Achilles just left the world and he will become a god in the near future. Why do you always blame the great sun god? Is it because of you? Are you jealous of Apollo?"

Beifengshen's face turned red when he was told, but no one stepped forward to help him.Because Dionysus spoke the truth.Artemis looked gratefully at Dionysus, Dio smiled and returned to his original position.

Hera looked at him in surprise, not because he spoke for Apollo, but because he would actually participate in the disputes of the gods. What does Dionysus mean?Is he going back to Mount Olympus?

Regardless of the inner thoughts of everyone here, Dio also returned to Ampulos after Thetis left.

It was noon when he went out, and it was already evening when he came back, and Ampoulos was still fast asleep.

At the same time, the siren of the underworld dragged his increasingly tired body and walked slowly towards the gate of the underworld.
