[Greek Mythology] The Love of Persephone

"Oh, this difficult puzzle has returned to the beginning, and I really don't know what to do!"

Hermes looked depressed and gloomy, wandering on the ground.The God of Liars thought anxiously:

"If you say that Aphrodite, the Goddess of Beauty, is intentionally making things difficult for me, that's not the case! She's always been pampered, and presumably she's really dissatisfied with the fairy music in the palace. That's why she has this condition. As long as she can serve me If she is really satisfied with the music in the world, she will not deliberately embarrass her. However, there are so many music sounds in the world! How can I tell her one by one, and how can I know what kind of music can satisfy Aphrodite? What! This so-called most beautiful music has to convince me first, and Aphrodite later, so where can I find it?"

Thinking of his lover's situation, he couldn't help feeling even more worried.However, the cruel Pluto closed all the passages to and from the underworld as early as the day when he was expelled from the underworld. It's impossible.Therefore, he must get the help of Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, to get a lead arrow that can dispel Pluto's obsession.Only in this way can I truly save my lover and change the so-called prophecy!

"Fate, fate." Hermes murmured, "Since the three goddesses of fate have told me that the future can be changed, then I must not have the slightest cowardice and luck at this moment. My every move is writing my future , and I will never give up on Persephone and what I love so easily!"

Hermes first wandered between the valleys and jungles of the world.He tried to capture the wonderful movement of nature, but ended in disappointment.Later, the trickster god escaped into the world again, hid his breath, and flew low over the heads of the crowd, hoping to meet an outstanding musician.Hermes flew and searched tirelessly, hoping that time would pass more slowly.

However, after a long search, Hermes still didn't know where the most wonderful happiness in the world was.

"If I can't find the music, I'll just have to steal Aphrodite's lead arrow!" Hermes thought to himself, "Even if I completely offend this arrogant goddess, I can't just sit and watch. Persephone was forced to marry and suffer!"

Although this is a last resort, Aphrodite will definitely hide the lead arrow very tightly.But if Hermes couldn't find music that could impress the other party, he had no choice but to make a bad move.

This god of liars who runs around for his lover is still struggling to find in the world.He is looking for the most beautiful music, and the slim hope of saving his lover.On this day, when he came to Greece, Hermes overheard the chatting of two passers-by.

The two passers-by appeared to be two idlers passing by, talking cheerfully about heroes.One of them said:

"Have you heard the story of the hero Jason? He bravely obtained the Golden Fleece and the beautiful but vicious princess Medea! Dia fell in love with Jason, and this couple of lovers will not be happy in the end!"

The other said: "Ah, Medea! What a sin she committed for love, she had the heart to kill her own father! Although the wicked king deserved the death penalty, but Medea's means It's too cruel and vicious! She didn't want to punish evil, but killed her father for a man. Poor Jason was bewitched by her? Sigh, do you think such a cruel and bewitching beauty sounds like that? Like the Kraken that the fleet encountered before? It's a pity that this time, Jason no longer has the help and escort of Orpheus by his side!"

The first one then said: "Yes! What a pity that Orpheus has left! That is a wonderful musician. Have you ever heard him play? It is said that it can make gods and men intoxicated, Even the beasts of the flood will become docile and tame for him——when Jason's fleet passed the territory of the sea monster 'Siren', those glamorous banshees living on remote islands surfaced one after another, singing A clear and moving song was played. The beautiful melody and the fragrance of flowers infected the heroes of the Argonauts, their ambitions gradually dissipated, and they all wished to live forever! They were already bewildered by the sea monster that day, and what will happen to them in the future? Just turn into bones!"

Another person clapped his hands and said, "Then I saw the hero Orpheus sitting in danger, under his hands, the music of the lyre suddenly rose, and a hero's hymn pierced the sky in an instant! Soon, the banshees' melodious voice They were pushed down, and the heroes regained their sanity. They rowed the iron oars with all their strength, and left the ghost island like an arrow from the string!"

The first one continued to praise: "Jason, holding the sword, finally marched towards the oak tree guarded by the dragon! It was the princess Medea who was cursed by the goddess of beauty who led the way! Orpheus held his lyre in his hand Followed behind. I saw the golden fleece they were longing for on the top of the golden oak tree! And the huge poisonous dragon patrolled vigilantly with his never-closed eyes, and when he saw them, he immediately showed his claws and rushed forward. Jason said: "Orpheus, play your lyre!" So this human troubadour plucked his strings, and the loud and clear singing wafted through the trees. Time was frozen, and the poisonous dragon hung down fiercely The colorful head and neck fell into a deep sleep. And Jason took this opportunity to pluck off the golden wool!"

The other person was very sorry when he heard the words: "Orpheus has made such great contributions to the fleet, which is really admirable! It's a pity that this former hero is now doing it for his wife, Olu, who unfortunately was bitten to death by a poisonous snake." Kex was so sad that he almost lost his mind! It is said that he once went to see the cruel Pluto in order to save his wife, but in the end he was thrown out in a daze. The chants and wailings broke the hearts of all who heard it. The hero of the past now wanders all day long, calling his wife's name, and being mercilessly laughed at by passing urchins. Oh, what a tragedy! and misfortune!"

The two idlers gathered together, talking and sighing incessantly about the fate of the heroes.But at this moment, a slightly hasty voice interrupted them.

"Did you just mention the magical musician Orpheus?" Hermes asked, "Then can you tell me where he is now? I have a very important matter and must seek his help! "
