[Greek Mythology] Beside the Throne

"Compared to the world full of disasters, plagues, and evil, how can this be compared to the holy mountain Olympus, which is always blessed by God?" Zeus, the king of gods, said.

Artemis, who didn't know how to respond, had to bow his head and stand where he was.

Looking at himself and Leto's daughter, the God King waved the Goddess away.

After Artemis left, Hermes, the son of Maia who became the messenger of God, came to the temple to salute the king of God.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" The God of Thunder leaned on the throne, and the golden wine bottle in his hand was filled with blood-red wine.He is majestic, high above the sky, overlooking the world from the clouds as the king of the gods.

The envoy holding the golden-winged double-snake scepter showed a thoughtful expression and then said: "Hesperides is sealed by the divine power of Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven, and nothing outside the barrier can enter." After speaking, he stretched out his hand, An oracle appeared in his hand.

This is an oracle issued by Zeus. He ordered Hera, the queen of heaven, to come out from Hesperides to Olympus immediately to participate in the feast of gods held by the king of gods.

Outside the temple, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and thunder and lightning flashed in it.The golden oracle exploded under the anger of the god king, almost hurting Hermes beside him.

Hermes, who had been promoted to the main god for only a hundred years, was photographed by the wrath of the god king, and the divine power in his body fluctuated, and he almost vomited blood.

Swallowing the bloody breath in his throat, Hermes knelt on one knee on the golden brick of the cold Olympus Temple and begged the God King to appease his anger.

"His Majesty!"

Zeus raised his hand to stop what Hermes was about to say.He said, "Back off."

Under the gaze of the God King's icy eyes, Hermes got up and slowly exited, then left the temple.

The white jade is the wall, and the gold is the brick.In the huge Olympus temple, only Zeus, the co-lord of the world, remained, and even the air became silent.

Hermes, who walked out of the temple, looked up at the vast sky. It was obviously a god who was not afraid of cold and heat, but a trace of inexplicable chill rose from the bottom of his heart and wandered through his limbs, making him shiver all over.

Although the Godhead bestowed on his mother by the Goddess of Wind and Rain promoted him to the position of the main god of Olympus, he could still feel that Zeus, the father god, did not like him.Perhaps in the eyes of other gods, Zeus's love for himself is not as great as that of his eldest son, Apollo, the god of light.

After all, it is like a person drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or not.

The warm wind blows from the sea with the fragrance of flowers and plants to caress the cheeks, and the vast expanse of blue waves is covered with layers of golden tides under the sun.

Apollo, who had been teaching Ganymedes music for some time, decided to make him learn something instead.

The male god in a white robe held a book in his hand and walked towards Prince Troad, who was leaning against the window and watching the sea playing the flute.

"Let's learn something different today." Apollo raised the book in his hand and gestured to Ganymedes.

"History of God." Ganymedes read out the words written on the cover.

"The world was created by Ochas, the first god of the world..." Apollo's voice was elegant and pleasant. He didn't read the contents of the book according to the script, but spoke slowly as if telling a story to make Ganymo Des was gradually fascinated by it.

"These five original gods are Gaia, the master of the earth, Tartarus, the master of the abyss, Nix, the incarnation of the night, Erebus, the body of darkness, and Eros, the symbol of love."

"Among them, only the God of the Earth and the God of the Night are female gods, and the other three are male gods." Apollo paused at this point, and then said: "Among the five original gods, Eros, the god of love, His Highness has long since fallen, and the other four are currently in a state of seclusion."

Hearing this, Ganymedes, who was still an outsider inside, asked, "Hidden?"

"Yes, those four Highnesses haven't been alive for a long time."

Except for Gaia, the goddess of the earth who is still romantic and charming, and who willfully changes lovers among the gods.Apollo added a word in his heart.

"Are there any gods in this world?" Ganymedes lowered his head and said softly.

"Your Highness, your mother is one of the three thousand sea nymphs born of Oceanus, the god of oceans and rivers, and Tesis, the goddess of the sea."

Apollo held Ganymedes' astonishing face in both hands, and there was a soft light in his azure blue eyes.

Faced with Apollo's gaze, Ganymedes turned his face away.

Sometimes the teacher's enthusiasm is really overwhelming. Are all foreigners like this?Ganymedes, the straight steel man who didn't think this move was very gay at all, thought to himself.

Apollo, who put down his hand, stroked the soft curly hair on Ganymedes' head, and said softly: "Didn't Her Majesty the Queen tell Her Highness this?"

As a person living in this continent, of course, he knows that this world is existed by gods, but Ganymedes from other time and space does not know all this.

Ganymedes, who didn't know how to justify, had to turn his head to the window to pretend to be blown by the wind, and refused to answer Apollo's question directly.

Apollo looked at the actions of the little prince in front of him and let out a chuckle, no longer asking any more questions.

"The rule of Uranus, the god of the sky, was overthrown by Cronus, the god of creation and destruction of time, and Cronus became the second generation of God King."

"However, Uranus cursed every subsequent generation of god-kings. They will all be overthrown by their own sons and thrown into Tartarus. They will never step out of the abyss."

"The second-generation god king Kronos was afraid that the curse would come true, so he swallowed the children born to the queen of time Rhea one by one."

"However, the curse of the sky god has not disappeared because of the power of time, and the grievances of the previous generation have finally happened to this generation of gods."

"Zeus, the god of thunder, the youngest child of the goddess Rhea, was sent to Crete with a stone by Rhea when he was just born, where he was raised by the nymphs and finally grew up from his father Cronus. He snatched the scepter of the god king from his hands and became the king of the gods."

Apollo stopped talking here. Seeing Ganymedes frowning, he stroked his forehead and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Ganymedes, who knew poorly about foreign myths and stories until he heard Apollo say the word Zeus, finally understood that this world is not a new time and space as he thought, but an era of Greek mythology in which gods really existed in this world .

After all, the name of Zeus, the god king, is so loud that no one knows it, even he knows it.

"I'm fine, Teacher Phobos." Although Ganymedes said so, he still needed some time to calm down.

From a laborer at the bottom of the food chain who has just stepped into society, to a prince in an ancient western country, to himself with the blood of a god.

Ganymedes said that this identity jumps a bit fast, and he has to take it slow.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yada, the female officer who was waiting outside, came in from the outside and told the two people in the hall, "There is a young girl visiting outside, and she said she wants to find Mr. Phoebes."

Apollo, who had already sensed the familiar breath of gods outside the temple, nodded to Daya and said, "I see."

Then he walked towards the door, and Ganymedes followed without knowing why.

The golden sun shone warmly on the girl's long silver curly hair. She had a pair of brown eyes like elk, as clear as the spring water in the forest under the moon.The pink lips under the delicate nose are as gorgeous as flowers.She has a five point similar face to Apollo.But one is as dazzling as a bright sun, and as quiet as a bright moon.

Seeing his younger sister, Apollo raised a hearty smile and walked towards her with open arms.Holding Artemis in his arms, the goddess also hugged her back, and Apollo kissed her forehead.

"Al, why are you here?"

"If you can come and walk around the world, can I not come?" Goddess Artemis winked at her brother playfully, and then she saw Ganymedes standing outside the temple.

"Is this the little prince you mentioned? He is so beautiful." The goddess couldn't help admiring, and then said, "I want to snatch him back to the temple on Mount Taigetos."

As the elder brother, Apollo also felt helpless for his sister's unrestrained and bold personality, and his sister was as unpredictable as the moon in the sky.

He poked Artemis' forehead with his index finger and reminded her: "Don't forget the promise you made in Hades."

Artemis tilted his head helplessly and said, "I see."

She and the goddess Athena and Hestia made a vow to be a virgin goddess for the rest of her life before the fourth river in the abyss of hell——"River of Wrath" Styx. backlash.

Letting go of Apollo's hand, Artemis walked towards Ganymede.

Ganymedes looked at Artemis who was wearing a tunic skirt and short boots in front of him, and Artemis was also looking at him.

Those little deer eyes smiled into a crescent moon and said to him: "Hello, little prince of Troad, I am Phoebus' sister, you can call me Cynthia, of course you can also call me Al."
