[Greek Mythology] Dangxiu Tai traveled through ancient Greece

The place of Hades is equivalent to a huge information exchange center.

All kinds of souls come to Hades every day, and there are always some dead souls who know some secrets that others do not know.

Not to mention that there are many flowers and plants growing on the ground or Mount Olympus, and some of them are always conscious. If you want to know anything, you can ask them.

This news channel is also the most secretive.

The gods may guard against any humanoid creature with eyes and ears, but in any case they will not guard against a tree, a flower, or a blade of grass.

And except for plant gods like him and Adonis, no one knows the magic of these plants.

Just like at that moment, he had already communicated with the plants on Mount Olympus and heard the news of Dionysus completely.

Dionysus was born Zagreus, the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, by Zeus.

Persephone is pure and innocent, and under the overprotection of her mother, she still retains a childlike heart. She doesn't know what motherhood is, and she doesn't know how to take care of children. After giving birth to Zagreus, she ignores it.

Demeter didn't like the child because Zagreus was born after Persephone was tricked.

As a last resort, Zeus had to raise the child himself.

Most of the children of Zeus were brought up by their mothers, perhaps like Athena who was born as an adult soon after birth, so Zeus never raised children by himself.

Probably because of this, he doted on Zagreus very much, not only put the child on his throne, but also gave him the Thunder Scepter to play with.

His preference for Zagreus fell into the eyes of the gods and aroused the jealousy of Hera.

At that time, during the Titan War, the Queen of Heaven secretly colluded with several second-generation Titans, ordering them to kill Zagreus, tear his body apart and roast him for food. Zeus only snatched him back. heart.

Later, Zeus took a fancy to Semele, the daughter of Cadmus, and put Zagreus' heart into her body, intending to make Zagreus reborn.

But because of Hera's trick, Semele died under the fire of the sky, and Zeus snatched back the unborn Dionysus again, and put it in his thigh to conceive.

So besides Athena, Dionysus was the second child conceived by Zeus.

Soon after, Zeus took out the full-term Dionysus to prevent Hera from harming him, so he gave him to Hermes.

Hermes gave Dionysus to the Lamides, daughters of the river god, to be raised, but Hera cursed them to go mad.

Hermes snatched Dionysus back from these poor and crazy women, and handed it over to Semele's sister, Ino, queen of Atamas, king of Boeotia, to be raised.

Ino is not a good woman. She once persecuted the sons and daughters of Atamas and his ex-wife, but she did her best for Dionysus.

In order to avoid Hera's evil hands, she even dressed Dionysus as a girl.

But Hera soon noticed, and she repeated the old tricks, driving Ino and her husband mad, and even killed their two children.

In this way, Dionysus staggered into adulthood in the guerrilla warfare with Hera, but Hera still refused to let him go, making him mad.

In madness, he left his place of residence and wandered the earth until he met his grandmother, the goddess Rhea, and his madness was cured.

In detail, the growth experience of Dionysus can be written as an inspirational book.

The premise is to ignore the absurd and cruel things he and his followers did.

Probably because he was tortured by this aspect since he was a child, Dionysus has always liked the drama of driving people crazy and then killing their relatives, and the madwomen under his command soared after drinking alcohol, and could tear apart lions with bare hands and eat them raw. There are even humans on target.

Dionysus was the first son of Zeus who was born to a mortal but became a god. Probably because of Hera's relationship, he rarely stayed in Olympus, but Zeus loved this ill-fated son very much. The degree is about second only to Athena.

Xioni felt that if there were no vacancies among the twelve main gods, Dionysus might have already been among the main gods.

Zeus' face turned blue for a moment, and finally he said stiffly, "Xioni, Dionysus is certainly at fault, but according to what you said, he did not cause any damage to Hades. I hope you can release him."

"Yes." Xioni nodded slightly.

Zeus's stiff face finally brought a smile back, "Thank you for your tolerance."

"It's too early to say thank you at this moment." Xioni raised the corner of her lips, "Please give me something that satisfies me in exchange."

"Exchange?" Zeus' complexion turned blue again.

"Yes." Xioni nodded, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at him suspiciously, "You don't think you can let the underworld release Dionysus without paying any price, do you?"

Hearing Xioni's slightly sarcastic words, Zeus looked coldly and looked at the taciturn Hades.

Aware of his gaze, Hades slowly retracted his gaze from his partner, and looked at him coldly, "Zeus, there is also a custom of exchanging ransom for prisoners after defeat on the earth, Xioni's request does not Not too much."

Zeus twitched his forehead. Seeing that he couldn't get any help from Hades, he turned to Xioni again, "What do you want, Xioni?"

Xioni was dissatisfied with his attitude of ignoring her seeking help from Hades, and said indifferently: "I haven't thought of it yet, let's talk about it when I think about it."

Seeing that Zeus still wanted to speak, he immediately said: "Don't you have something important to talk to Hades? If you waste any more time, we will go back to Hades. The banquet on Mount Olympus is really the same as always. boring."

Seeing Xioni's words come out, Hades did not refute, and Zeus also understood his brother's attitude, so he had to put Dionysus aside for the time being.

Furthermore, he believed that, as his son, Hades would not treat Dionysus lightly.

——He still doesn't know that Dionysus was thrown into the Styx by Hades to take a bath, and he has lost his divinity and is no different from a mortal.

After Xioni and Hades sat down, Zeus immediately said, "Hades, I think you already know about the awakening of our grandmother Gaia."

Xioni's eyes flickered, so Zeus finally started to deal with Gaia?

For Zeus's cautious words, Hades only replied with a slight nod to indicate that he heard it.

"Gaia has always wanted to retaliate against my treatment of the Titans," Zeus was a little dissatisfied with his casual attitude, and warned in a deep voice: "But Hades, the Titans of the Cronus series have long been destroyed by Tal. Devoured by Talos, in addition to Olympus, Hades will also be the target of Gaia's revenge. Even because of Tartaros' relationship, she has already shot your Hades, hasn't she?"

Hades finally turned his gaze to him, "What do you want to say?"

"The idiot Poseidon has been confused by Gaia, just because she gave birth to him a son Antaeus, Poseidon listened to her words and conspired with Hera to rebel against me." Mentioning Poseidon, Zeus said Full of disdain, "Hades, Poseidon is unreliable, and we should unite together to resist Gaia's attack that will come at any time."

Xioni lowered her eyes.

It turns out that there is such a secret behind Poseidon's rebellion, but it can be easily used by Gaia. Poseidon's brain is not much smarter than Ares.

He was secretly preparing to use the gods of Olympus to deal with Gaia, and Zeus' proposal coincided with his plan, so Xioni didn't speak at the moment, leaving everything to Hades to come forward.

Hades also understood his partner's thoughts, and said calmly: "Gaia once wanted to kill Xioni, and I will not let anyone hurt my queen."

What's more, Gaia harbors malice towards his queen, and he cannot tolerate the existence of anything that threatens Xioni's life.

Hearing his announcement, Zeus showed a satisfied smile.

Xioni didn't say a word, and turned her head casually to see the movements of Fronil and Emerod who were staying in their seats.

The two children were still sitting there quietly, without their father and god by their side, and they didn't touch the wine and food on the table.

Hermes was walking over to talk to them.

Although Xioni is very concerned about the safety of the children, she does not want to restrict their normal external communication.Besides, after knowing each other for so long, although he didn't have a deep affection for Hermes, he still had some kind of friendship, and he knew him well, so he didn't worry that he would be unfavorable to the children.

He was about to look away, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of two graceful figures leaving the hall one after the other.

Xioni's eyes moved, what would the sisters, who would not hide their confrontation with each other when they met one-on-one, avoid the gods, what would they say?

What is Thetis' plan?

He propped his forehead on the table with one hand, closed his eyes and pretended to be bored and sleepy. In fact, his mind had communicated with the flowers and plants outside, looking for the figures of Amphitrite and Thetis.

He saw that Amphitrite left the temple of the gods first, and Thetis followed behind. When he went out, he turned his head and gave Hera who was hung on it a contemptuous look.

Xioni shared vision with the animals all the way, and followed them to a secluded corner.

Amphitrite stopped in her tracks, turned around and looked at her sister coldly, "Did you see that? Hera is still tied to it by Zeus at this moment, letting God watch her lose all face, and not long ago our sister Pluto, because of Tantalus' sin, Zeus immediately abandoned her. Such a heartless man, do you still have unrealistic expectations for him?"

"I also sympathize with what happened to Pluto, but I only blame her for giving birth to such an arrogant and arrogant son as Tantalus. As for Hera..." Thetis curled up a contemptuous arc, dignified and gentle There was no breath left, "How can that stupid woman Hera be compared with me? Among the seven wives before and after Zeus, she is not the most beautiful one, but the most stupid and incompetent one. With such a woman, how can she be worthy? The emperor enjoys the supreme queen position?"

"She doesn't deserve it? Are you worthy?" Amphitrite smiled angrily, imitating her look of contempt, and looked her up and down, "Yes, you have always been arrogant and smart, but don't forget Zeus Our first wife, our aunt Metis. She was the most intelligent among the goddesses of the ocean. She once helped Zeus rescue the brothers and sisters who were swallowed by Kronos, and even gave advice in the battle of the Titans. , brought victory to Zeus. But what did she get in the end? She was pregnant and swallowed by Zeus because of a prophecy. And you..."

She looked at her sister coldly, "Don't forget, you also have a prophecy like Metis's. As soon as this prophecy spread, Zeus immediately gave up on you."

"It's all because of you playing tricks behind your back!" Thetis was furious and looked at Amphitrite angrily, "If you hadn't spread this prophecy, how could Zeus have given up on me, and Poseidon would have given up on me? How could I marry you instead?!"

She stared at her younger sister, full of jealousy.

She has always been the most farsighted and wise, though not the oldest of the Nereids.

Even her reputation among the gods overwhelmed all the sisters. When mentioning Nereids, the gods would only think of the gentle Thetis.

But Amphitrite, this once inconspicuous little sister, has become her threat since no one knows when.

The author has something to say:

Well, Thetis thought she was smart.
