[Greek mythology] The troubles of Adonis

The intimacy of the Pluto and his wife is enough to ignite the raging jealousy in the chests of many gods headed by Aphrodite, but after all, this is Olympus, which is famous for indulging in joy and doing whatever it wants, and the banquet is more unrestrained than them There are many more that can be counted.

Fascinated by the beauty of the plant god, the gods couldn't help but secretly cast their eyes in that direction many times, but they were soon captured by the evil spirit released from Pluto's body, and had to gradually restrain themselves.

"The calmest eyes are dead lakes. No matter how beautiful the exquisite paintings are, they have no soul. The crystal clear and plump grapes cannot be separated from the generous nourishment of the stream water. A strong chest protects only a weak heart. The partner whose figure is reflected in the mirror, dear brother Hades," Zeus said with a smile on his face, "I am truly happy for you. You must have understood deeply that love is an invisible and intangible rein. Let the most pompous and proud horse be willing to be harnessed and bent over to be the pet of the handsome and charming knight."

Pluto held the wine glass gracefully, and occasionally took a sip of the wine brewed by Dionysus, the god of wine, and from time to time put the rim of the same glass to the lips of the plant god in his arms, so that he, who was not good at drinking, Dip it in and bask in the joy of sharing it with it.

Sensing the gaze of the God King, he casually replied, "Really?"

Not listening at all.

Zeus was very dissatisfied with this contempt. If he hadn't had a goal he wanted to achieve, he would never have ignored the beauty he liked, and humbly dealt with the elder who dismissed him and had always been at odds with him. Brother strikes up a conversation.

But now, he can only continue talking, delaying the time until another invitee who is not punctual, Earth Mother Gaia arrives.

Zeus kept as peaceful a state of mind as possible, and turned to look at Hera, who was sullen from beginning to end and had no intention of cooperating at all: "Is there anything more satisfying than having a happy marriage? Although my brother, you seem to have I am very satisfied, and I am still confident that I can add a little more to this. The honor of blessing it is always only worthy of the elegant and beautiful defender of marriage, and that is my most precious wife."

Facing Zeus's rare flattery, Hera sneered a few times, not only did not agree to the proposal, but also very rarely sneered at him in front of the gods: "Almighty and omniscient king of gods, don't you also make mistakes?" Is it a big cognitive mistake to think that the victims of tragic marriage slaughter have the power to protect others? If there is any common denominator between love and marriage, it is individuality and deceit. Love can Incarnate as the most dissolute prostitute, there is no difference between the simple mat made of reeds and the soft mattress made of the most expensive white gauze. As far as marriage is concerned, the frivolous love that can happen and be obtained at any time is far less important than the interests it represents. It may have a seemingly unbreakable structure that is actually vulnerable, but it cannot withstand the unintentional scrutiny of birds. Even the smallest wave It can also be easily destroyed."

Normally, Hera, who values ​​the dignity of face very much, would never have such a conflict with him. However, she just captured the picture of Zeus pursuing the humble forest fairy who did not even have the qualification to enter her palace. Seeing in her eyes, there was the scene of the Pluto and his wife being in love, and it was the time when she was most angry. She was already convinced that her dignity was trampled and she was about to become a joke in the eyes of the gods, so why would she care about it? A petty flattery not worth mentioning.

When Zeus was about to attack her, Hades suddenly threw the empty pure gold wine glass and said unceremoniously: "I thought you took so much trouble to invite us here, not because of these nonsense."

Zeus smiled hypocritically and said: "Such words really embarrass me, but it is just a congratulation out of joy and blessing. How did your love for the new queen suddenly turn into anger against me? You If you are dissatisfied with the hospitality you have received, you can speak up. It should be an honor to have distinguished guests here. If I wrote the invitation letter for the purpose of making enemies or gaining fame, there is absolutely no need to do so. A waste of time."

Hades said inscrutably: "You must know the reason better than me."

The nymphs who danced with the song couldn't help but stopped their movements tremblingly, and were overwhelmed by the temperature around them that seemed to drop suddenly with this icy tone. The eerie silence was outlawed.

At the moment when the sword was on the verge of breaking out, Adonis, who was sitting in the arms of the instigator, suddenly reached out and patted Hades on the shoulder lightly.

Hades' expression, which was originally indifferent, became much gentler in an instant, and he lowered his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Adonis smiled slightly, and said briskly: "You have thrown away the wine glasses, what should we drink now?"

He is actually not interested in Dionysus's new work, it's purely to help Hades out.

Although he has full confidence in Pluto's strength, this is Olympus, and he doesn't want to see the other party take the risk of losing money and confront Zeus head-on.

With a slumped face, Hades hugged him a little tighter with one hand, then calmly pointed to the position of his mouth: "There's more in it, do you want it?"

"..."

Adonis silently looked away, scolding himself for being nosy, and said with a straight face: "No need."

Hades looked at him quietly, and suddenly involuntarily pressed a kiss on his cheek, raised his jaw slightly, and carefully kissed the little flower whose petals were trembling with envy.

After receiving the kiss from the Father God, Hua'er instantly interpreted what it means to be elated, and spun around on the stem several times.

Adonis sighed helplessly, but his heart softened in an instant. Under Hades' implicitly expectant eyes, he kissed back in public uncomfortably—so Pluto hugged him even tighter.

Hades' previous behavior of taking care of the strange little plant made more gods who were already very concerned about it even more curious.

Hermes rolled his eyeballs and said with a smile: "Only difficult puzzles can arouse people's curiosity. If you don't show mercy and generously untie this knot for me, I'm afraid I'll die again." A grand banquet can't make me happy anymore. How noble is that delicate and beautiful flower, and how lucky is it to match it, so that it can be fortunate enough to grow in a beautiful land that is least likely to be tempered by trauma?"

Adonis was inexplicably familiar with this, and it was difficult for the smiling handsome god to feel disgusted. After exchanging glances with Hades, he said frankly: "Just because he is my child."

Hermes choked a sip of wine into his throat and coughed earth-shatteringly, and he was not the only one who lost his composure after hearing the earth-shattering news.

Seeing that Zeus's expression became extremely gloomy and ugly, Aphrodite, who had been uneasy since she knew the origin of the flower, stood up in time. The curly hair brushed to the snow-white back, and the soft body was not always straight and straight like Hera, but was naturally placed in the most graceful and moving posture, and said softly: "Dear God King, since the eyes of the God Queen Temporarily blinded by dark clouds, it is better to let me who is in charge of love boldly do it for me, and give blessings and praises to this love that everyone admires."

Zeus took a deep look at Hera, who was showing disgust, and agreed with suppressed anger: "It is your exclusive right to keep the fiery and often fleeting love for a long time. Who can deny your great ability?"

Aphrodite covered her lips and smiled lightly, walked slowly towards Adonis who was sitting, and then knelt down in front of him like a poor lover who couldn't ask for more, with love and pain in her eyes full of water , like a bird in panic before a storm, murmured: "Please allow me to touch your skin before giving my blessing."

The slender and white hand caressed the handsome face that he had been thinking about day and night.

She who mastered love should have been the most sought-after darling, an invincible winner in love, how many handsome and powerful gods begged for a kiss, but she was completely defeated in front of the most haunting and lovable boy.He didn't even need to say the words of ruthless rejection, the disdain and indifference in his eyes are the sharpest swords and guns, the heart of iron stone is the coldest winter day, and the silent resistance is the cold sea water of her birthplace. Love and burning heart completely soaked.

The memory stayed at the scene of being stalked by her, Adonis frowned displeasedly, trying to avoid it, just when he was wondering why Hades hadn't responded yet, Pluto, who seemed to have been indifferent all this time, moved ——

Without hesitation, he exerted force, and his strong and powerful legs slammed forward, just kicking the fragile chest of the affectionate Aphrodite. She screamed and was kicked on the back with no dignity flew.
