Bacchus in Greek mythology

"No."

Before Hermes said anything, Artemis opened the door and came in, holding the siren's new clothes in his hand, and rejected her idea without even thinking about it.

Artemis put down her clothes, and the calm look in her eyes made the Siren's heart pound. She sighed and explained carefully: "You are too weak to run around, and do you think Demeter will not understand? She You must already know that you are behind this, even if you are not afraid that she will send you to hell again, I am afraid."

Hermes was silent, he agreed with Artemis' words, but...he looked up at the siren, as expected, she was not convinced at all.

The siren lowered her eyes and was silent for a while before saying, "But I'm going. There are some things I couldn't tell her at the time, but I can do it now. Although she is Pearl's mother, I still hate her, Artemis. I'll go, just this once, and I'll listen to you from now on."

Artemis was stunned for a moment. This was the first time the Siren used the word hate. Of course she knew about the Siren's past, but she had never heard a single complaint from the Siren, nor had she seen the Siren reveal her hatred. The emotion of resentment, but today, the siren is still calm, but the emotion in the eyes is obvious.

She wants revenge.

Artemis frowned, but what he said was not to stop him, "What do you want to do?"

The siren smiled, with a harmless look, "Don't worry, I just want to tell her something about the past, I won't do anything else, besides, I can't beat her either."

Artemis looked at the siren carefully, shook her head and smiled after a while, then turned around, took out something from the cabinet on the side, held it and closed her eyes for a while, then she put it in the siren's hand, " With it, I only give you one day, if you don’t come back before the sun sets, I can’t spare you.”

Artemis' words were serious, and the siren quickly stated that he would obey them, and Artemis asked Hermes to take care of her, so he sent the two of them out without worry.

The siren was wearing a huge cloak, which could almost fit two of her. Hermes took the siren's hand and walked slowly to the place where Demeter lived.

The cloak is made of golden fleece and evening primrose. The windproof effect is not very good, but the weaving is so dense that even the sight of the gods cannot pass through this cloak. things while hiding behind Hermes.

Seeing this, Hermes opened a soft barrier. Although it couldn't completely resist the wind god's power, it could still reduce a lot of wind.The siren slowly moved towards him in the air, and Hermes asked, "What did she give you?"

"Moon mirror."

The magic mirror that stores moonlight looks the same as ordinary mirrors, that is, it is more refined.Hermes stopped talking, and just flew forward wholeheartedly.

Arriving at the place where Demeter lived, the siren lowered her head and quickly lifted the cap of her cloak, only to find Hermes staring straight ahead, motionless.

The siren followed his gaze, his expression froze on his face.

Demeter's hands were slightly folded on her abdomen, and the breeze was blowing her light yellow dress. Obviously, she knew that there was a guest and had been waiting for a while.

The Siren came back to her senses and took a step forward, her right arm was pulled, Hermes looked worried, but the Siren smiled, reassuring him.

Hermes followed the sirens, and Demeter spoke first.

"The turmoil in the underworld was five days ago, and I have been wondering when you will come."

After hearing this, the siren didn't change anything, "Yes, I will definitely come, there are some things I haven't let you know, I can't let go of the past properly."

Demeter was stunned for a moment, she had been looking at the siren, 200 years had made her haggard, and the beautiful envoy of the past, now looked like a rotten wood.

Demeter pursed her lips and said what she had always wanted to say, "Sorry."

The siren looked at Demeter, her voice was very sincere, as if she was really apologizing.

"Actually, I regretted it soon, but even I couldn't take that sentence back, I'm sorry."

The siren lowered her head, and Hermes could only pretend to be dumb in this kind of conversation. The siren did not answer for a long time, and Hermes turned to look at her, but found that her smile was very stiff.

Slowly raising his head, as if he had thought for a long time before deciding what to say, the siren smiled, "I accept your apology, but I will never forgive you. Demeter, you drove me to a dead end , I never hate anyone, but I hate you, because you dispose of me indiscriminately, and I obviously did nothing wrong."

There are many people who have hurt her, but they all have reasons. In the memory, the Siren can also sigh and attribute it to her own fault. Only Demeter, only she is completely venting her anger, so she is the most hateful.

The siren's hands trembled slightly, she put her hands into the cloak, looked straight into Demeter's eyes, "Your good daughter, Persephone, do you think she was taken away? Do you think she is Forced to stay in the underworld? No! She has fallen in love with Hades a long time ago. She has fallen in love with Hades since the wedding banquet. She left with Hades completely voluntarily. Even the day she was robbed was your daughter. I planned it myself!"

Demeter's face was slightly pale. Hermes looked at her nervously, fearing that she would lose control of her emotions and do something. Pomegranate seeds, I saw her eat them with my own eyes, because she didn't want to leave Hades, so she found the pomegranate seeds in the underworld and let herself keep them. Do you know? Hades originally planned to send her back, and then On second thought, it was Pearl who insisted on eating the pomegranate seeds. She doesn't want to be with you, you know!"

The siren's voice was almost sharp, and her cheeks began to turn red due to excitement, but Demeter's face turned pale. She closed her eyes forbearance, and slowly opened them again, with a hint of sarcasm and bitterness on the corners of her lips, " I know."

This time, Siren was stunned instead.

With a wry smile, Demeter's voice was full of helplessness and sadness, "I knew what you said a long time ago. Pearl is my daughter. There is no mother who doesn't understand her daughter. It is because I know her thoughts that I will I’ve always been on tenterhooks, that’s why I asked you to watch her. It’s because I threatened Zeus with the condition that the earth would no longer have a good harvest, so he sentenced Pearl to me, but,” Demeter smiled desolately, and then said the following "Every year when Pearl came back for six months, she basically didn't talk to me. She shut herself in the room and didn't even want to look at me, because I disturbed what she thought was happiness, because I angered innocent people." of you."

These, Pearl never told her.

Although Demeter is still the same as before, her former charm and bearing are no longer there, and her sunken eye sockets make her look listless. Hermes looked at her without a trace of pity in his heart.

It took a long time for the Siren to regain her consciousness, and she also felt ironic, the original anger turned into a lingering flame, leaving only deep helplessness in her heart, she suddenly felt that there was no need for her to come here, Demeter has been They were all being punished, and she didn't need revenge.

Siren twitched the corner of his mouth, and his voice couldn't be calmer, "It's great, you are living in pain."

After finishing speaking, she took a step back, and Hermes understood what she meant, and the divine wings on his feet appeared, ready to take the siren away.

Demeter frowned at her, "You don't understand."

The siren raised his chin and asked puzzledly: "What do I not understand? The harm you caused me is finally over, I can live a good life again, that's enough."

Demeter shook her head, her eyes full of pity, "I apologize to you, partly because I let you fall into the abyss, and partly because you are so fierce that you chose this way to escape. Siren, You have no idea what you're giving up, or whose heart you've broken."

This sentence has been said by several people, Siren has always ignored it, but today she became abnormal, her smile disappeared, her eyes became cold, and she spoke rudely, "What I give up is only a body that can be recovered in the future , As for hurting whose heart? I didn't hurt anyone, it was just an arrow."

After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hand and pulled Hermes. He froze for a moment, then reacted, nodded to Demeter, and flew into the sky.

Demeter watched them gradually disappear from sight, her expression became sad.

Anger is because of being poked at the sore spot in the center, Siren, have you regretted it?

=====

Eros squatted on the bank of the river, his gaze sank directly to the bottom of the river. This was the fourth time Dionysus visited today.

In the past few days, he didn't make trouble or do evil, and he really waited "quietly", except for the constant visits and harassment of other people's servants and maids.

Dionysus appeared at the bottom of the river, and immediately attracted men and women. They didn't need to talk, just a few glances. Dio's charm conquered one mermaid after another. It probably won't take long. The so-called Scamander's men , will all go to Dio.

Eros propped his chin, really unable to understand why he believed that Scamander could give him the answer, let alone understand his behavior.Eros has seen the God of Dionysus who has a disagreement with his words, but he has never seen Dio who is so easy to talk. Could it be that Ampoulos committed suicide and hit him too hard?

Before Eros could figure it out, Scamander appeared.

He invited Dio in with a gloomy expression. Seeing this, Eros quickly jumped into the water. Just as he was about to catch up, the door closed again, and Eros could only wait outside.

Scamander's face was ashen, and he was very angry at the first sight. Dio followed him calmly, regardless of where Scamander was going to take him.

Muse watched her husband and Dionysus leave, and looked at the direction they were going. Muse turned around, sighed, and wiped away the tears that were about to overflow.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, passing through the palace and passing groups of fish, Scamander finally stopped. Dio looked up at the huge coral clump in front of him, wondering why he brought himself here.

Scamander turned around, a pair of big hands clenched into fists at his sides, expressing his forbearance.

After being signaled, Dio stepped forward suspiciously. Suddenly, his pupils constricted, and there was a faint person in the coral bushes, which was Ampulos.

And looking up again, there was a huge black pearl hanging on the coral bush, the words engraved on it were deeply embedded in it, glowing with a faint cold light.

——"My beloved daughter, Siren."
