[Greek Mythology] The Ordinary Journey of the Moon God

Hecate lived in Hades.She is the goddess of the moon, but because she has the attributes of darkness and light at the same time, she also likes darkness and light at the same time - she likes to walk through the dark night and play in the light, this is her.

Life in Hades is uninteresting.The Titans were imprisoned in Tartarus, the dark abyss, and the people living in Elysee Paradise were just ordinary dead souls. No one or god would entertain with her—but she needed happiness, and it seemed that as long as she had happiness, she would Just like herself.

She likes Zeus as God King.In the ancient Cronus era, she was born from the womb of the goddess Asteria. Although the sky and the earth were not bleak, she felt that there was no sense of joy—the sun rose and the moon set every day, She thought it was boring.

Cronus was defeated by his son, and Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades ruled the world—Hades entered Hades, and she and the native gods of Hades automatically became his subordinates.

At first, when Hecate saw the handsome but expressionless Olympian god, she thought it was boring—this male god was as boring as other gods in this long time, this one The future of Hades is still as boring.

From then on, Hades was the king of Hades.Hecate sometimes saw Hades in Hades, and he always looked expressionless, looking at her with a pair of equally emotionless black eyes, as if he could see through everything about her at any time.Hecate was not afraid of him, and looked back with a pair of eyes of the same color, but after they stared at each other for a while, His Majesty Pluto took the lead to look away—as if he was afraid of staring at her.

But the god was not afraid of her, and Hecate knew it well.So she didn't understand why Hades looked away when she looked into his eyes.

For a while, Hecate took this as a special amusement—when she was bored, she would go to Hades, and stare into his eyes until he looked away, while she stared at him. It's a lot of fun.

Until one day, she felt bored.She felt that this could no longer be her entertainment.So Hecate shifted her aim to the ground.

There isn't a single rule that says the gods of Hades can't go to the ground.So, when Hecate knew that Hades was always busy with various official duties and had no time to play that look-and-see game with her, she slipped to the ground.

Gaia will not stop her from walking on the ground.Hecate also liked to play above ground.However, because of her special black hair and black clothes, she has always only appeared at night-especially when the starry night goddess Asteria came out, she would play with her mother.

One day, however, when she was haunting the land on a full moon night, Hecate was surprised to find that Hades, who was quiet and always looked away when she stared at him, was silent. Followed her silently and left Hades.

"Your Majesty the Hades, you are the master of the Hades," Hecate always liked to joke, even to the most powerful person in the Hades, she couldn't be serious, "What are you doing on the ground? As the Hades, Shouldn't you stay in Hades?"

His Majesty Pluto, who originally thought he was not good at words, just glanced at her indifferently: "As the most important goddess of the Underworld, how can she come to the ground at will?"

"I'm not the goddess of Hades, I just live there." Hecate glanced at him, "Does Your Majesty Hades think that as long as you live in your territory, you are your subjects?"

Hades silently came to her side and walked side by side with her.

"Zeus, who is the king of Olympus, also respects you very much." His voice was low and condensed, and Hecate unexpectedly found that he liked that voice very much. "I didn't think you were my subject."

"Really?" Hecate frowned, "So, Your Majesty Hades, Hecate, who is not a subject of the underworld, is going to work—do you want to join me?"

Hearing what Hecate said, Hades stopped where he was.

"I'm glad you live in Hades." His black eyes looked straight at Hecate, and Hecate met her gaze.

But this time Hecate felt that there was something else in it that she didn't quite understand.For the first time, she dared not look directly into Hades' eyes—this time, she was the first to look away.

After she performed part of her duties, Hecate remembered the last look Hades gave her.Somehow, when she came to her senses, she had already returned to the underworld.

It must be Hades' fault, otherwise how could she run back to Hades inexplicably before she had played enough?

If it happened only once or twice, Hecate would not feel any problem.But when the third and fourth times were like this, Hecate began to hate Hades.

Hades must have used some special spell on her to make her so abnormal.But Hecate is the goddess of magic and witchcraft, and she cannot be controlled by magic she does not know.

Hecate began to avoid Hades.Hades is the king of the underworld, as long as she is not in the underworld, she can no longer see Hades - in fact, she has a residence in the sea and in the sky now, so she doesn't need to go back to the underworld.

Hecate lived a free and happy life again.She met a group of beautiful sea nymphs in the ocean, she used witchcraft to bring them joy, and they also liked to play with her; she also became good friends with Hera and other goddesses, which made Zeus even more Don't dare to provoke her anymore - the temper of the God Queen Hera makes it difficult for the God King to resist.

However, Hecate soon became bored again.Finally one day, she had enough fun, bid farewell to her friends, also bid farewell to the sunshine and moonlight that filled the whole world, and returned to Hades.

However, when she returned, Hecate found that she felt that she was finally home.

She must have lived here for so long that she felt that she had "returned" to Hades, right?

But in fact, Hades is not her "home" - in the definition of human beings, "home" is a very special word.But in Hades, she doesn't have any family members here.

Hecate visited the gods of death and sleep, and visited the ghosts in Elysee—but she did not go to the palace of Hades.

However, not long after she returned to her residence, Hades appeared.Hades stared at her silently like that, and she silently looked back at Hades.

But she still couldn't hold on.Hecate was once again defeated by Hades' eyes—she felt her face getting hot.

Hecate insisted that it was because Hades used magic that she didn't understand, so she didn't back down, but decided to take revenge--without her knowing, Hades secretly used her magic to her. The magic she doesn't understand really makes her unhappy as a witch who is in charge of magic and witchcraft.

However, she found that her revenge did not seem to be so smooth.Hades always seemed to have a way of getting her under his spell.

Hades sometimes turned around suddenly when she was approaching, causing Hecate to avoid it and bump into his arms, and then he was rendered speechless by his special breath.He would also raise the corners of his mouth indistinctly when Hecate looked at him, making Hecate stare at him unconsciously——

After Hecate became red-faced again and again because of Hades' actions, she finally decided not to give Hades the face of being the king of Hades anymore—she even dared to tease the god king Zeus , why can't you play tricks on Pluto?

So, Hecate appeared on the ground during the day, and brought Hades there, so that he could occasionally feel the warmth of the sun.After all, sunshine is such a beautiful thing, and beauty naturally needs to be shared.

During this trip, Hecate met two new and interesting gods—brother Apollo and younger sister Artemis.She had a hunch that the attributes of the god of light in them would definitely replace the sun god Helios and the full moon goddess Selene who were descendants of the Titan gods.

This premonition soon came true.Phaethon, the only son of Helios, was too overwhelmed. In order to save mankind and the earth, Apollo fought against Phaethon himself.And Artemis was not to be outdone, and when Apollo was almost injured by Phaethon, he shot and killed the sad son of the sun god with his own hands.

Hecate stared at Apollo, silent.Probably because she stared at Apollo for too long, Hades grabbed her hand forcefully, and Hecate turned his head in pain, but could only see a pair of black eyes that implied anger.

Hecate felt upset for a while: "Are you angry? You don't have to be angry. I am the goddess of the moon, and I am naturally attracted to the god of light. Apollo and Artemis are the gods of light, and I am attracted by them. Of course."

"I forbid you to like Apollo!" Hades got angry, and tightened her hand.

Hecate's eyes became extremely strange in an instant.

"Who do I like, does it have anything to do with you, Your Majesty Pluto? I am not your subject."

She dumped Hades and played alone on the ground.

She meets new goddesses and friends.Among them is a beautiful young girl, she is the god of spring, the only daughter of Demeter, named Persephone - lively and beautiful, always makes people feel full of vitality.

Hecate thought that Hades must be so strange because he needed a queen.This girl is so energetic, she will definitely bring new life to Hades.

Hecate had long since forgotten that he was angry with Hades when he dumped him.She returned to Hades and gave him a general introduction to Persephone—she was so excited that she didn't notice that Hades' expressionless face suddenly became more indifferent.

"Do as you say, if you wish that," Hades answered her.

Hearing Hades' answer, Hecate felt uncomfortable—it was she who proposed bringing Hades and Persephone together, and Hades agreed, shouldn't she be happy?Why does it feel weird?
