Death knocked on the gate of hell

Another incident happened recently in the holy mountain, which aroused the dissatisfaction and jealousy of the queen Hera.

When Venus went to the Fire Temple to play with Hephaestus, he heard Hebe, the goddess of youth, complaining to Hephaestus.

"...Father has gone too far this time. It's fine for him to keep so many lovers outside, but this time he actually brought someone to the holy mountain, and openly made peace with that man under the nose of his mother!" Heber was full of grievances , "In order to make room for Ganymedes to serve as cupbearer, my father deliberately accused me of negligence at work. I obviously didn't spill a drop of wine! He is obsessed with sex."

Hebe, the goddess of youth, is also the daughter of Zeus and Hera, and the younger sister of Hephaestus, the god of fire, and Ares, the god of war.She is good at dancing, beautiful and charming, and can give people eternal youth. Before the arrival of Venus, she was the most popular goddess on the Holy Mountain—the most popular male god was Apollo, and now she has been defeated by Venus.

Hebe was originally responsible for pouring wine for the gods on the mountain.At every banquet, she would gracefully pour wine made by Dionysus to the gods.But recently Zeus fell in love with a mortal boy named Ganymedes, and brought him back to the holy mountain to make him the cupbearer, and even found a clumsy excuse to dismiss the original cupbearer Hebe. In order to make room for the beloved boy.

This naturally caused dissatisfaction between Hebe and his mother Hera.It wasn't enough for Zeus to be out and about, bringing weeds home was blatantly slapping them in the face.

Hebe was so angry that he complained to his younger brother Ares, who was closer, but Ares said after hearing this: "If I have the authority of my father, I would also like to bring Althea to the holy mountain."

Althea is the lover of Ares in the mortal world.

Heber was taken aback for a moment, and then said in disbelief: "Aren't you pursuing Venus?!"

"But Venus is still underage, and it is against the law to seduce a minor." Ares said, "I can't be abstinent for 200 years, can I?"

It's just for the sake of sex, how can I guard him like a jade.

Ares: "If you want me to say, there is no need for my mother to be angry about this. My father is a philanderer. She can also raise a lot of lovers. Why hang on a tree. I know that Althea also raises lovers in the mortal world. , I didn’t even think it happened.”

Heber sneered: "Then why are you jealous and angry when Venus is always playing with big brother?"

Ares: "..."

Ares: "...Venus is different, he is too beautiful, how can he compare with ordinary women."

That kind of beauty is the beauty that people want to monopolize, but they all know that they can't monopolize it, so they are full of desire and crazy about it.

Heber slammed the door and left: "You male gods are all of the same virtue!"

Hebe left the Temple of War in a huff, calmed down and thought about it carefully, except for the underage Venus, only the eldest brother Hephaestus was a virgin among the male gods in Olympus, and there were at least two other gods in Olympus. lover.

Hephaestus is still because of his appearance, no gods have taken a fancy to him, and he is unwilling to get close to other gods, but recently his relationship with Venus has improved by leaps and bounds.

Heber despaired of the world.

So she turned to the Temple of Fire and repeated her complaints to Ares, longing for some comfort.

Hephaestus was forging iron in the palace.

Hephaestus's attitude towards this younger sister who didn't say a few words was slightly milder than that of his second brother Ares, but it was limited to not driving her out.

Hebe stood aside and complained angrily about the injustice she suffered, while Hephaestus sat on the bench and struck his iron silently. The two did not interfere with each other, and the scene was very harmonious.

When Venus arrived, Hephaestus immediately stopped striking the iron and stood up to give Venus his seat.Realizing that the bench was too shabby, he conjured up a comfortable and soft sofa, and shyly asked Venus to sit down.

Heber was dumbfounded.

She felt strongly discriminated against.

Venus heard all the ins and outs of the matter, and asked curiously: "Is that Ganymede very beautiful?" Otherwise, how could the god king be fascinated by him.

"Generally, it's far worse than you anyway. Most of the male gods on the holy mountain are prettier than him." Hebe said disdainfully, "Father just likes the new and dislikes the old. Women are tired of playing, and they feel fresh when they see a man. He yesterday I love Europa, I love Ganymedes today, and I don’t know who I will love tomorrow. That man will not stay long on the holy mountain.”

"I'm afraid he will be murdered by his mother before his father gets tired of it." Hephaestus said lightly.

Hera was jealous by nature, and she didn't know how many lovers Zeus had persecuted.Hephaestus felt that his father was hateful and his mother was pathetic.Great-grandfather Uranus did not respect great-grandmother Gaia, so great-grandmother killed great-grandfather directly and established a new king.But the mother is bound by love and is reluctant to hurt the father, so she can only keep attacking the father's lover, but the father will always have a new lover.

Venus worried: "Then shall we protect him?" Knowing that someone was about to be victimized, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

Hephaestus looked almost indifferent: "Treating the symptoms, not the root cause. If the father doesn't take care of him, someone will always be victimized."

Venus insisted: "At least save this one."

At a banquet not long after, Venus met the boy who was recently favored by the God King.

There is no doubt that Ganymedes was a beautiful boy.But such beauty is not brilliant on the holy mountain.When he was in the same frame as the Goddess of Beauty, he was completely suppressed and overshadowed. Fortunately, the Goddess of Beauty can only drink grape juice because he is underage. Awkward.

He was also far less dignified and beautiful than the queen Hera, and when he shuttled between the banquets to pour wine for the gods, his behavior was frivolous.

But domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, and Zeus likes it.When Ganymedes poured wine for Zeus, he would raise the wine glass and touch the rim of the glass with his lips, then turn half a circle and hand it to Zeus, which is full of temptation.

Zeus took the wine glass with a smile: "The wine poured by the person I love the most really tastes better than ordinary wine."

Hera, who was on the side, saw the two flirting like no one else, and her face darkened.

The gods were silent like cicadas, thinking that this young man who didn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth might not see the sun of tomorrow.

Even someone as ignorant of the world as Venus, could tell that the God Empress Hera was in a bad mood.But Ganymedes, relying on Zeus' favor, repeatedly made provocative actions to Hera.

Heber cursed secretly: "The coquettish bitch."

Hephaestus sighed softly: "Idiot."

After the banquet, Venus called Ganymedes to stop.

Ganymedes turned around and was amazed by the God of Beauty's appearance for a full ten seconds after watching it from a close distance, before he came back to his senses: "Is there anything that Her Highness the God of Beauty wants me to do?"

Venus asked, "Can you swim?"

Ganymedes was taken aback: "I will."

"I advise you to go down the mountain immediately. I know a way to go down the mountain without being discovered by His Majesty the God King." Venus even planned to tell Ganymedes about his secret passage, just to give him advice, "Otherwise I don't guarantee that you can see tomorrow's Apollo."

Hostility flashed in Ganymedes' eyes for a moment: "Are you warning me to leave His Majesty the God King? Then I advise you not to waste your efforts. Although you are very beautiful, His Majesty the God King loves me, and I will not leave him of."

He regarded Venus as an admirer of Zeus and was threatening him.

"No." Venus said anxiously, "Don't you know that your actions have already offended the Queen of God?"

Ganymedes said to himself: "His Majesty the God King will protect me. If His Majesty Beauty God has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

Venus stood where he was, and it was too late to stop him.

A big event happened on the holy mountain that night.

God Queen Hera broke into Ganymedes' bedroom and said proudly to him, "Since you like pouring wine for the gods so much, you should stay in the sky and pour wine forever."

Ganymedes was ecstatic: "Are you willing to let me stay?" He thought that Zeus loved him so much that the queen had to accept his existence.

Hera sneered, Ganymedes sensed something was wrong and wanted to run away, but it was too late.

A ray of light flashed by, and he became an Aquarius in the sky.

It takes at least 1000 years for the constellations to take human form. At that time, Zeus, who was bothered, had long forgotten who Ganymede was.

When Zeus learned about it, he had a big quarrel with Hera, and went down the mountain angrily, and then met a mortal woman named Ellari, and the two fell in love quickly, forgetting Ganymede in a blink of an eye.

The Aquarius in the sky saw this scene, and what poured out of the bottle was no longer sweet wine, but bitter tears.

Venus was stunned: "Did His Majesty the God King ignore Ganymedes? He also said that Ganymedes is his favorite person during the day."

Hephaestus had already seen through everything, and said quietly: "The love of Olympus is just lust."

Venus sighed: "Oh." Your circle is really chaotic.

He originally thought that if he had the power of Zeus, he would take Adonis to the holy mountain. Now it seems that the holy mountain is too dangerous, and it is better for mortals not to set foot.

If there is danger, he will do his best to protect Adonis.

"But." Hephaestus looked at him suddenly, turned his head away dodgingly, his face flushed, "If I get married, I will only be loyal to my wife."

Venus didn't notice it: "Then you are really a good person."

Hephaestus who was issued a good card: "..."

His eyes dimmed, he stared quietly at the innocent Venus, hesitant to speak.

The goddess of fate endowed Venus with a more romantic divinity than Zeus in the future, but made his youth so pure and beautiful.

He hated Zeus, but fell in love with Venus.

He also seemed destined to be as pathetic as his own mother.

After watching the excitement, Venus walked back to the Temple of Beauty alone.He looked up and saw the constellation Aquarius in the sky, thinking that people who were still alive during the day would turn into speechless stars, and felt a little bored.

It would have been nice if I could persist a little longer during the day, and persuade Ganymedes to go down the mountain, so that he would not become a star.

As he was walking, he heard two gods chatting in front of him.

"There are more constellations in the sky, and Hera has started to harm people again."

"Her methods are becoming more and more endless. Before Fairy Ningfu was turned into a cow by her and grazing on the hillside, she also sent a hundred-eyed giant to guard it. I am ordered by His Majesty the God King to save his poor lover, Fei. It took a lot of effort to kill the hundred-eyed giant and rescue her." The young man continued.

"What is this? When my mother was with Zeus, Hera encouraged my mother to see Zeus's thunderbolt real body, causing my mother to be burned to ashes." Another voice was lazily filled with hatred, even to the god king. Calling them by their first names is obviously disrespectful.

"Who isn't? My mother gave birth to me in a cave to escape Hera."

"Apollo and Artemis share your sympathy. When their mother, the goddess Leto, was pregnant, Hera forbade the earth to provide her with a place to give birth. She finally gave birth to them on a floating island."

Venus couldn't help but gasped.

The Queen of God was so terrifying.

His inhalation caught the attention of the god, and the conversation over there stopped.

Venus walked out cautiously and said hello: "Good evening."

Sitting at a stone table under the moonlight are two gods drinking together.One is a smart and handsome black-haired boy, and the other is a melancholy and decadent curly-haired handsome man.

They are Hermes, the god of commerce and fraud, and Dionysus, the god of wine.

Seeing Venus approaching, Dionysus smiled and said, "So it's little Venus."

Hermes pointed to the vacant stone bench: "Please sit down."

Venus sat down awkwardly: "I didn't hear anything." He actually heard so many secrets, will he be silenced?

This really subverts Venus' cognition.He has been pampered since he was born, thinking that the whole world is beautiful and everyone on Mount Olympus is happy.But out of his perspective, some things are so terrible, and everyone's relationship is also tense.

"Don't worry, everyone in Olympus knows this." Dionysus shook his glass and drank it. "You are too young to know many things."

Venus picked up the wine glass in front of her, wanting to have a sip of the wine too.

"Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol." Dionysus took the cup from his hand and poured it out, replacing it with grape juice and handing it back.

"..." Venus looked at Hermes unconvinced, "He can drink everything."

"I'm just young." Hermes smiled and said, "I'm hundreds of years older than you."

Venus was born with an adult figure, but she was as innocent as a piece of paper.Hermes will always look like a teenager, but he is the god with the highest EQ in Olympus.

Venus reluctantly drank the grape juice: "Why did the Queen of God do that?"

"Why else?" Hermes said, "A woman's jealousy."

"I think His Majesty the God King is also at fault." Venus said unhappily, "If he wasn't so careless, there wouldn't be so many people sad."

"Pfft." Hermes laughed directly.

Dionysus also laughed: "Little Venus, do you know how many people you will make sad when you grow up?"

Venus, the god of love and beauty, the treasure of the sea, the darling of the holy mountain.Countless gods fell in love with it and became crazy about it.He was so favored when he was still a teenager, and he didn't know how many affairs he was going to have when he was an adult.

"I don't know, but I don't mean to hurt people," Venus said.

"The Goddess of Fate has long instructed that the pure and holy white rose will turn into a charming red rose at the age of two hundred." Dionysus looked into the clear green eyes of the God of Beauty, "You will be born to be loved by everyone." Love, they all want to pluck you, and they will be sad if they don't get you. You only have one flower, how can you distribute it to many people?"

Venus thought for a while: "I can give everyone a petal, but they can't uproot me, so I can rebloom and give to more people." However, he will give Adonis two petals, This is preference.

It's just that he doesn't know Weiai yet.There has never been loyalty and uniqueness in the divinity of Eros, and preference has become his most special existence.

Hermes was overjoyed: "Venus, aren't you a playboy?"

Venus was at a loss: "Is this a flower heart? But I just don't want to make anyone sad. One is not enough for each person, so let each person have two." But that would give Adonis three petals.

Oops, so it seems that his behavior is not fundamentally different from that of Zeus.

Venus gave up struggling: "Okay, I admit that I am very hardworking, but is there any other way?"

Hermes coughed up his drink with a smile.

Dionysus couldn't help but smile: "You are a born god of love."

People can get his body, but they can't get his heart.

Bidding farewell to the god of wine and commerce, Venus still did not return to the Temple of Beauty.

He ran to the temple of God to see Hera.

The hall of the God Empress was in a mess, with things smashed to pieces.Hera wiped away the tears, looked at Venus with a bad expression, raised her proud posture, and didn't want others to see her embarrassed appearance.

"What are you here for?"

Venus said, "I want to give you a present."

Hera was cold and uninterested.After becoming a god, she has received too many precious gifts, and it is difficult to have anything that catches the eye.

Venus untied her golden belt: "This is a golden belt rich in the magic of love. Wearing it can be full of charm, and it may be able to capture the heart of His Majesty the God King for you."

As soon as Hera's expression changed, she immediately took the golden belt, touched it fondly, and softened her expression: "Thank you."

After sending out the golden belt, Venus politely exited the palace, looked at Aquarius in the sky, and sighed silently again.

He felt that relying on external forces to tie this seemingly incompatible couple would not solve the fundamental problem. As the protector of marriage, Hera could not protect her own marriage.Just like he is a god of love, but he doesn't understand true love.

But as long as the belt can attract Zeus, so that Zeus will no longer go outside to hook up with lovers, and Hera will no longer be jealous and harm outsiders, the world will be much more peaceful.

If Erene, the goddess of peace, knows, she will be very grateful for the help of the goddess of beauty.
