Chapter 471: Excerpt 5: The Reincarnation of the Curse
Based on the above logic, then the myths and legends of the ancient Mediterranean civilization are the reproduction of the magical civilization of the Third Solar Age in the Mayan prophecy.
Among the many myths and legends, the most prominent are ancient Egyptian mythology and ancient Greek mythology. A closer look reveals that there are many similarities between the two myths. All are equipped with various gods representing the forces of nature, such as the sun god, the god of life, the god of death, and the god of thunder.
Since it is a myth and legend, it is much the same, there is nothing to say, but I found another very interesting thing in ancient Greek mythology, and it belongs to the original of the ancient Greeks, and there is no similarity in all myths and legends in the world.
In ancient Greek mythology, the second god-king Clorus, who overthrew his father's tyrannical rule with the support of Gaia, the mother of the earth, married his sister, Rhea, the god of time (typical of matrilineal clans and homogeneous reproduction).
Perhaps the good times had passed for too long, perhaps because of the panic of idleness, and Clos became more and more like his father, and became tyrannical.
He was not very good-tempered, and he was bewitched by others, so he looked at a large number of his children in a bad way, because he never forgot the deathbed curse of his father, the god of the sky, Ularius, who was killed by his own hands: You will pay for what you have done! You will be overthrown by your own sons like me!
As a titan god with boundless power, Kloros could have many ways to deal with family disputes, but no one expected him to use an unbelievable way: eat his own children!
You say you can be exiled, imprisoned, or even killed, so why do you have to eat it? Isn't this death?
Sure enough, after devouring his five children, Clos still went his own way and continued to do what he did best: having children.
I don't understand this, since the prophecy curse says that you will be killed and overthrown by your own son, why do you still keep having children?
Please keep this sentence in mind, the most complete betrayal of you is often the closest person around you.
Guiwei was no exception, and with the efforts of both his mother and wife, Clorus missed a son: Zeus.
After that, Zeus successfully staged an old-fashioned story of a wandering prince who went through hardships since he was a child, and finally returned from his studies to take revenge, killed his father, and successfully rescued five older brothers and sisters from Kloros's belly. (It seems that Daddy's digestion ability is not good)
His own life was saved by others, how dare he say more? So with the support of many brothers and sisters and the gods, Zeus became the third generation of god kings.
Zeus, known as the god of the gods, controls the power of thunder, and orders the world not to dare to obey, and the scenery is infinite for a while.
Here I wonder how a god who only masters thunder can occupy such a high position and become the master of Mount Olympus.
In my opinion, Zeus was deeply inherited from his father, and one of his favorite things to do on weekdays was to seduce and dominate the goddesses and give birth to a dozen and dozens of children.
Maybe it's the needs of the plot, maybe it's because one generation is not as good as the next, or because the gods are immortal, and there are no other vacancies left to occupy the gods, so Zeus and the sons and daughters of the gods almost don't have a good seat to sit on, which is not the same as today's second generation of officials.
The descendants of these gods with halos on their heads all have a nice name: demigods!
Only a small number of them have obtained more important god positions, and most of them have obtained some marginal positions, and some have not even obtained anything, no different from mortals.
The uneven distribution of interests will inevitably bring about strife, and the internal contradictions have not been resolved, and the Titans are extremely dissatisfied with Zeus's overthrow of his father and the wanton persecution and imprisonment of the Titans. One of the primordial trios, and the leader of the Titans, Kloros and Zeus fought a decisive battle on the top of Mount Otris.
This war, known as the "Titan War", was fought for ten years without a victory, and finally under the mediation of Prometheus, a descendant of the Titans, a decent end to this war was drawn by drawing lots.
Zeus wanted to make a good friend of Prometheus, who had made great achievements, but before the word "thank you" could be spoken, he didn't expect Prometheus to smile coldly and contemptuously say the curse that would hang over the head of the god-king family forever like a cloud: You will not have to be king forever, and sooner or later you will be overthrown by your other, more powerful son!
Zeus's heart suddenly cooled, and he remembered all kinds of bloody stories about the throne under his ass, and he became overwhelmed by the omniscient and omnipotent, like a child who had just been robbed of candy.
It's a horrible reincarnation!
No, I'm going to change all that!
So, Zeus incarnated as a heavenly stallion, robbed and robbed all the goddesses he could see, even his own daughters, nieces and nieces, and severely suppressed the children he gave birth to, deprived them of the inheritance of the godhead, and exiled them to bitter cold places all over the world.
At this time, Prometheus decided to do something earth-shattering: to create a man! That's right, this idle Titan God is Nuwa in Western mythology.
How can the speed of human reproduction be comparable to that of the gods? No matter how hard Zeus tries, he is still far behind humans. However, Zeus is the king of all gods, and he looks down on weak humans when he punches his nostrils, and no matter how many of them there are, what is the use?
Soon, Zeus realized what is called an irresistible fate! That curse is taking root among mankind......
Zeus's poor bastards were exiled and coldly treated, all of them were full of resentment, but they were weak and weak, and they could only sigh in the direction of Mount Olympus, and they didn't dare to make a mistake at all, but the appearance of humans changed all that.
Those bastards are also descendants of God, and they have some skills, so they gathered together the human race, taught them a lot, and made the human race wiser and more united.
When Zeus heard about this, he was furious and sent down the punishment of the gods, and the human world was suddenly plunged into chaos and darkness. Many illegitimate children were implicated, and they died, escaped, and imprisoned, and they did not see the slightest light for a while.
At the critical moment, selfless and fearless, in fact, it was the nosy Prometheus who stood up, stole the fire, and handed it over to the world. Let humanity rekindle hope and regain light.
Seeing Prometheus's righteous deeds, many bastard children were more confident, and they regained their strength one after another, and the spark of rebellion against Zeus's tyranny was instantly on fire.
Think about it, Prometheus can do this as the god of Titans, there are big ones on top, humans blocking guns in front, and many gods who are dissatisfied with Zeus supporting behind them, what else do we have to coerce about? Do you still have a face to say it?
Prometheus is simply Zeus's nemesis, and the king of all gods will do whatever he is afraid of. Zeus was really angry, and openly violated his oath not to persecute the Titans again, and captured Prometheus and tied him to a stone in the Caucasus Mountains with chains, so that an evil eagle pecked at his liver every day, and the divine power allowed the liver to grow every day, so that the evil eagle could continue to enjoy the good meal the next day.
This torture continued for a full thirty thousand years, until one day, a small centaur god, moved by the spirit of Prometheus, rescued him, and volunteered to be chained to the stone in Prometheus' place......
At this point in the description of the myth, there is no follow-up, and no one knows the subsequent ending. Anyway, in ancient Greek mythology, Zeus was still the god of all gods, the master of Mount Olympus, and I think about it, Prometheus and those rebels are still working hard in endless years.
If the story continues in another dimension, I think that curse, that terrifying reincarnation, will be played out again sooner or later......
