[Greek Mythology] The Ordinary Journey of the Moon God

All the gods of Mount Olympus knew that Paris, who loves beauty, would go to Sparta to snatch the amazingly beautiful queen Helen.And thus began the Trojan War.

What they never knew, however, was that the golden apples were placed by Eris, the goddess of strife, who was not invited to the wedding.Because she was not invited to the wedding, in order to get revenge, she came up with this way to still appear in the wedding in a special way.

Al didn't want to pay attention to these things, and hid out early.Her recent power of prophecy is particularly sensitive for some reason. She predicted that the gods of Mount Olympus would have a lot of disputes over the issue of standing in the war, and even fight.In order to prevent the God Queen Hera from really slapping her, she hid in a forest early so as not to be involved in the war.

Because of Helen, Paris stopped pestering her, which made her feel that her intimidating curse was still very useful, at least Paris was really scared.

Al followed several deer in the forest, stopping occasionally, resting on one of the deer before continuing to wander.She had a premonition that it was absolutely impossible for her to stay here until the end of the Trojan War. After all... this battle has been fought for ten years...

After playing with some fairies in the forest for a while, Al was ready to go back to Mount Olympus.Her mood has calmed down, and she knows that no matter how hard she hides, she will not be able to escape. After all, this war is not only a war between humans, but also a war without gunpowder between the gods of Mount Olympus. war.

But when Al was about to leave, a sharp arrow came through the air, and Al dodged urgently, but he didn't expect that the target of the arrow was not her—a deer among the deer that followed her for a whole day After being shot by that sharp arrow, he immediately fell down.Al was so nervous that he immediately went to look, but found that the deer was dead and could not be saved.

Wait, why would someone shoot her deer? Hey!These deer are just kids!Don't be so vicious!How could someone else come in this forest and shoot her holy deer!How can you be so ruthless, so cruel and so unreasonable!Can you still have fun!

Al hurriedly drove the deer back to the depths of the forest, and after greeting the fairies in the forest, he hurried back to Mount Olympus.

Perhaps as fate would have it, Al, on her way back, saw the face of the man who had shot her stag...it was Agamemnon, king of Mycenae.

Very good, Agamemnon, I remember you!Al stormed off in a huff.

But because Agamemnon is not a peerless beauty [cough], Al soon forgot about him.Until some time later, one day, it suddenly occurred to Al that she needed a new priest in her temple, and she remembered this person somehow.

Now that Agamemnon killed her precious deer, Al decided to go get him in trouble.She was not very familiar with this myth, and she didn't know what was going on in the myth, but she didn't want to let Agamemnon go so easily.Since Apollo didn't know what nerves he ran to help Troy (Al deeply suspected that it was because of Cassandra), then she could also help him in a roundabout way. Anyway, everyone here knows that Artemis is a Wayward Goddess.

Therefore, when Agamemnon and the Greek coalition forces were driving the warship on the sea, Al asked the wind god to blow a strong wind in the opposite direction on the sea, preventing the fleet from continuing to move forward.

Because of the wind direction, Agamemnon walked up and down in the cabin, but was informed by his men that someone was looking for him outside, so the Mycenae king had to leave the cabin and came to the deck.And what he saw was a goddess in white clothes floating in mid-air.

"Dear Goddess, may I ask you to come from afar, is...?" Agamemnon didn't know that a seemingly ordinary prey he had some time ago was actually the holy deer of the Moon Goddess.He obviously knew Al, though.

"Agamemnon, King of Mycenae, do you know that you killed my holy deer?" Al said with a serious expression.She just stood there, expressionless, with a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

After Al's reminder, Agamemnon remembered the poor deer he killed, and he broke out in a cold sweat immediately.Rumor has it that this goddess of the moon is noble and beautiful, but also capricious.Once, a man was turned into a deer by Artemis because he broke into the forest where Artemis was playing without authorization, and I heard that Prince Paris of Troy was almost cursed by the goddess because of the golden apple...

"Dear Goddess Artemis, I didn't know it was your holy deer." Agamemnon said bravely, "If I knew that it belonged to your holy deer, I would definitely not hurt them... But now, can I ask you to let me go temporarily? Our army has been wandering here for many days, unable to advance... If possible, I would like to plead guilty to you after the war is over!"

"It's impossible to let you off now." Al shook his head lightly, "I don't need your apology."

What does this weird goddess want to do by saying that?Agamemnon was puzzled.He didn't believe that Artemis would let him go so easily.

"I heard that you have a beautiful and intelligent eldest daughter named Iphigenia." Al looked at Agamemnon, "I want you to sacrifice her to me. If you have her as a sacrifice, I will I will ask the wind god to spare your ships."

Hearing his daughter's name, Agamemnon froze.He thought for a while, but still bit the bullet and rejected Al: "Iphigenia is in Mycenae, she is not on the ship. If the goddess is willing to wait, we can send Iphigenia to the ship after the war is over. In your temple..."

"Do you want me to wait?" Al's voice was not loud, but the wind on the roof suddenly increased, causing the whole ship to shake violently. Agamemnon lost his footing and almost fell directly. Fell on the deck.

Agamemnon was really scared this time.He quickly told the rest of the group, and asked someone to drive another rotten boat back along the wind direction to inform his daughter.However, not long after the first boat went out, Agamemnon regretted it.

Al didn't care how noisy the group of people on the ship who were going to fight was.She waited there, and got on Apollo's chariot as it passed through the sky.

"What are you doing, Al?" Apollo looked at her with a smile, "I think you seem very happy... Didn't you say that you don't want to pay attention to these people who are fighting?"

"I've got my eye on a girl," Al said solemnly.Seeing Apollo raised his eyebrows, she knew she couldn't fool him, so she finished the remaining half of the sentence, "Iphigenia, daughter of Agamemnon, I want her to be my priest."

Apollo smiled. "So you trapped them at sea? Thank you, Al."

Al shook her head, implying that she had no intention of helping Apollo.But Apollo ignored her shaking his head: "Although you said that, I know you are here to help me. And, do you know why I sided with Paris?"

Al ignored him, turned his head and just looked at the scenery outside.

Seeing her like this, Apollo stopped talking, and just quietly drove the sun chariot slowly across the sky.

Al didn't know what happened on Agamemnon's warship, and she didn't want to know.However, many days later, when she saw the young girl voluntarily sacrificed herself to prevent the dispute between Achilles, Menelaus and Agamemnon, she felt that she was really not a priest. wrong.

"Where are you going to put her?" Apollo asked Al, "My sun chariot, no mortal can approach."

Al stood outside the chariot and watched for a while: "...Then can I put her in Delphi?"

Apollo allowed it.But Al herself didn't know why she didn't put the priest she chose into her temple.

So, when Iphigenia voluntarily stepped on the sacrificial altar, Al used a spell to let her follow her to Apollo's temple in Delphi—on the altar, there was only one dying The body of a doe.

When Iphigenia thought she was going to die, she was surprised to find that she was still alive.She opened her eyes to a beautiful place that looked like... a temple.

"This is the Temple of the Sun in Delphi." A girl dressed as a gentle priestess said, "I am the priest here, and you call me Pythia."

"...Why am I here?" The girl had just woken up and hadn't recovered yet.

"You have become the priest of Her Majesty Artemis," Pythia smiled softly at Iphigenia, "Wait a little longer, and Her Majesty Artemis will take you to her temple. "

Iphigenia still didn't believe it.But she asked repeatedly, and Pythia told her the same answer every time, and she finally believed that she had really become the priest of Al, and expressed her great gratitude to the goddess for her tolerance and grace.

But Al didn't know what happened again.After she put Iphigenia in Delphi, she suddenly... wore it again.

When Al opened her eyes, she stared in amazement at the magnified face before her.The other party has golden hair, long and curled eyelashes blinking in front of his eyes, it looks like... Kissing? ! ! ! !

Al was taken aback, and bit his lips—the other party's lip.The boy on the opposite side retreated in pain and looked at her suspiciously.

Wait, what happened again? Why am I kissing this guy who looks like a human version of Apollo? Hey! ! !
