Bacchus in Greek mythology

Before he knew it, Ampulos fell asleep, and when he woke up again, he found himself on a rock.

Dionysus looked at the small island in the distance, and Ampoulos came to him. Dio pointed to the island and said, "That is the Amazon."

Ampulos looked at the Amazon, and it was still the same as it was 600 years ago, as if it hadn't changed at all.

Dio said again, "I heard her prayer, she prayed to me, prayed that her sister could go to the ground safely, and prayed that she could leave that hellish place, even though she was in the terrible abyss, she still believed devoutly Me, so I came to help her."

After speaking, Dio held Ampoulos in his arms, and the two flew to the Amazon together. In the distance, there were three ships full of believers of Dionysus. They were called to help their god.

The Amazonians hid behind the city walls in panic. If it was an ordinary intruder, they would have rushed up.But seeing that the person who came was a god, they really didn't dare to act rashly.A female warrior rushed to the queen's bedroom to report the incident. Queen Ada was listening to the report. She asked the reporter to pause, and then asked, "Which god is it?"

The female warrior knelt on the ground and replied in a loud voice: "There are two gods in total, one of them cannot be discerned, and the other should be Dionysus. He wears a garland woven from grape vines."

Ada sneered: "What kind of Dionysus, it's just a guy pretending to be a ghost, I'm afraid it's a supporter of Itale, they want to deceive me, and then rescue Itale, you go tell them, kill these two men , come back to me with their heads, or go and accompany Itale!"

The female soldier trembled, then took the order to leave.

The believers of Dionysus stayed on the boat obediently. Ampulos and Dio waited for Amazon's actions. Whether they opened the door to welcome them or met them with soldiers would determine their fate.

Ampoulos glanced at Dio. At this time, he was more majestic than ever. Just looking at each other, ordinary people couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to kneel down in fear.Ampulos asked, "Where's your Dionysus?"

Dio turned to look at him, and licked the corners of his lips: "I don't need to do this kind of trivial matter myself. I came here to do other things."

Ampoulos understood, he didn't think Dionysus would be merciful to spare these women, and the believers behind him would help him deal with it. He would come here, probably because of that poor girl.

He has been with Dio all the time, and his eyes have never stayed on others. It is because he has enjoyed 100% of Dio's attention and love, so Ampoulos himself did not realize that he is very interested in this devout believer who has not met yet. Got a little jealous.

Suddenly, a row of archers appeared on the city wall. The meaning of Amazon was very obvious. Dio chuckled and waved his hand. The three ships behind him immediately anchored and lowered their decks. Countless people rushed down from the ships, very excited rushed to the gates of the Amazon.Even though there are always people blocking them, and the killing keeps going, the disciples of Dio never stop. They sing loudly, as if they are going to a banquet, and they laugh and stab their swords into the belly of the enemy, even if the opponent is a woman. .

If Ares, the god of war, is the bravest, then Dionysus, the god of wine, must be the cruelest. He would kill the enemy with a smile, and then trample on the corpse of the enemy and drink to his heart's content.

Ampulos looked at the scene in front of him in shock. This is the power of Dionysus, spreading joy to every land. Whenever and wherever, even if he is suffering great pain, he must treat the world happily.

The gate of the city was quickly breached. Dio led Ampoulos into the Amazon. The believers in front opened the way for them. Every step Ampoulos took was stained with blood. When they arrived at the palace of the Amazon, Queen Ada ran out in fear and prostrated herself at the feet of Dio: "Bacchus! I know I was wrong. I will give you whatever you want. Please stop! If this continues, the Amazon will die." The country is subjugated, please read it in the name of your brother Ares, and spare us!"

Ada's weeping look was unattractive, Dionysus frowned and looked at her, "First of all, I never thought of letting the Amazon die, and second, the relationship between Ares and me is not very good. Be merciful, in the end, I will spare them, but not you."

Ada raised her head in horror. When Dio waved her hand, the people next to her understood. They tied Ada up with a thick rope and cut off both of her feet. Ada fainted from the pain, and Ampoulos frowned and closed his eyes immediately. .

Only then did Dio think of Ampoulos, not everyone could accept the bloody scene, Dio was a little annoyed, and ordered others to drag Ada down, then took Ampoulos by the hand, and went to the prison where the believer Itale was imprisoned. place to go.

When I came to the Hell Cave in Amazon, even the God of Dionysus could not accept this place. It was stinking to the sky, and worms that ate corpses crawled around. Itale sat inside with wounds all over his body.Seeing the God of God appearing at the entrance of the cave, Itale wept with joy. With the help of the Amazon people, she finally came out of this terrible place. Itale knelt down, deeply grateful to the God of Dionysus, but Dio just smiled: "Starting today, you are the new queen of the Amazon, you can bury your sister, and the Amazon is waiting for you to govern."

With a new queen, the people of Amazon rejoice too.The original Queen Ada was tyrannical, and she did not sacrifice to any god except Ares, the god of war. The people complained a lot under her rule, but they had to succumb to her violent rule.Itale's mother was the former queen. After her death, the throne should have been inherited by Itale's sister Nemola, but Ada usurped the throne and killed Nemola who resisted her, leaving her body in the The wind and the sun on the wilderness.

The god of death can't see a person being buried, so he won't think that this person is dead, so Nemola's undead can only wander in the land, and can't go where she should go.Itale wanted to bury her sister, but was put under house arrest. Anxious, Itale said that her protector, Dionysus, would not let Ada go. Luckily, Itale is a pious believer. She summoned Dionysus with her pure voice and brought hope to her country.

Here Dio and Ampoulos stayed overnight, and Ampoulos looked down from the window of the palace.The appeal of Dionysus is so powerful, but in just one afternoon, the Amazonians and the original believers are drinking together, and the atmosphere is very lively.

Ampoulos turned his head and said to Dio, "Why don't you go down and celebrate with them?"

Dio poured himself a glass of wine, then shook his head: "No, you like to be quiet, so I want to accompany you."

Ampoulos lowered his head and smiled, then walked to his side, and asked with his chin in his hand, "What are you going to do with Ada?"

"Shut up in the cave of Hell, let her taste the pain of Itale."

Ampulos lowered his eyes, what kind of pain is that, that place is called Hell Cave, and the real hell is a thousand times more terrifying than it.

Seeing that Ampulos's spirit became depressed, Dio explained: "Ada made two big mistakes, first, she did not let the souls of the dead return to the underworld, and second, she did not let the living stay in the world, so I have to punish her, karma, that's how things are in the world."

Karma, of course he understands.

Ampolos looked up and smiled: "I understand that the wicked should get the punishment they deserve. This is the most basic rule, I know."

Just as Dio was about to say something, he heard melodious singing coming into the room.

He was attracted to stand up, and Ampoulos also followed to the window to see that Itale was standing on the high platform, singing for everyone intoxicated, and the originally noisy banquet fell silent, and everyone listened to the sound of nature quietly. .

Dio laughed: "I didn't expect her singing to be so beautiful."

After the song was over, everyone applauded vigorously, and Itale lowered his head shyly, then turned around.Ampulos kept looking at her, and sure enough, Itale raised his head quietly and looked at the high window, his eyes were full of admiration.

Looking at Dio again, he also nodded politely.

Ampoulos snorted softly, "What is this, I sing much better than her."

Dio turned his head and rolled his eyes, "Really? Can you let me hear it?"

Ampoulos was a little hesitant, he didn't want to expose his abilities in front of the world, but when he saw Dio's expectant eyes, he couldn't say no to him, and he dragged Dio into the bedroom until he sat down on the bed. After playing, Ampulos thought about the score in his mind, and thought of one, Ampulos looked at him confidently, smiled slightly, and a melodious singing voice came out of his mouth.

Casablanca, also known as Lily.Although it was sung by a male voice, there was no sense of disobedience at all, as if the song was specially composed for Ampoulos. Every syllable was breathtaking. Dio seemed to have entered the sea of ​​flowers and indulged in it , unable to get out.

The beautiful singing voice has been accompanying him all the time, as if the pores of his whole body have been opened. It turns out that singing voice can really bring people into bliss.

Until the end of the last note, Dio still felt reluctant to part with him. When he finally came out of the singing, Dio looked at Ampoulos in surprise, "Oh my God, this is the most beautiful singing I have ever heard. It can be compared with the Muse." Comparable, Ampulos, are you really not a descendant of the gods? No, mortals will not have this kind of talent, who are you?"

Ampulos froze for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm just an ordinary person, and my singing voice is definitely not as good as Muse."

Dio asked him back, "How do you know?"

Ampoulos rolled his eyes, and then smiled: "Because the person who taught me singing once competed with Muse, she lost, and she lost absolutely and completely. My teacher can't compare with Muse, how can I Comparable?"

It is true that Dio had never heard the Muse sing, because the Muse left Mount Olympus when he was very young, and she was married to the god of rivers, and has never been seen since.Dio nodded clearly, and then asked softly with a harmless look: "Then, who is the person who taught you to sing?"
