Chapter 60: Uninvited Gods and Man
The wedding of Thetis, the goddess of the sea, took place in the cave of the centaur hero Charon, which was requested by the god-king Zeus, and Peleus, as his grandson, could only go and ask Charon to make this cave the place where he held his wedding.
This acquired demigod hero suddenly couldn't make up his mind, because although this cave was opened up by him, it was the place where his teacher taught the Dharma to mankind. Many of his disciples called this cave a holy place.
But Peleus, the grandson of Zeus, who was persecuted by the god-king Zeus, knelt before him and pleaded. Caron had no choice, so he went to Adros's other disciples to discuss countermeasures. The others were hard to find, but Sisyphus, the king of Corinth, spent his days in the palace drinking and drinking beauties.
Hearing Charon's worries, Sisyphus laughed: "Teacher Iacion's heart is nobler than the gods, and he never values these things, so you can take care of your grandson's wedding." At that time, I will also go to join in the fun and see the power of the gods. ”
Listening to Sisyphus's words, Charon was relieved and let Thetis, the goddess of the sea, arrange it.
The simple and dilapidated cave has only one characteristic, and that is its size, after all, this is the place where Caron taught the heroes of mankind. At this time, the cave was a splendid scene, decorated by the gods of the sea goddess Thetis, and the nymphs of Mizusawa as if they were the abode of the gods.
This was followed by the admission of a large number of guests, all of whom were deities from all sides. These gods are from the sea, from the underworld, and even from the many sons and daughters of the Lord of the Night. Their reputation in the human world is so bad that the faces of the human heroes who are assigned to a corner alone are not good.
In the end, all the gods of Olympus basically came to this wedding, but these gods came in pairs.
Zeus and his envoy Hermes, the first of the gods to come, sat at the best table in the morning and tasted the wine.
After him, Hades and Poseidon, the king of the sea, came with their wives, and to the surprise of the gods, Persephone and Amphitrite, the queen of the sea, who had never had anything to do with each other, seemed to be at first sight, and they kept talking when they met, leaving their respective husbands aside.
Hephaestus, the god of forges, and Ares, the god of war, came together, followed by their respective wives, Aglaea, the youngest sister of the goddess of grace, and Eneo, who also held the priesthood of the god of war.
Apollo, the god of light, and Dionysus, the god of wine, came together, and they were like-minded, neither married, but both had a lot of romantic affairs.
The goddesses who came in one after another made the gods shine, and almost stole the limelight of the wedding protagonist, the goddess of the sea, Thetis.
Demeter, the goddess of harvest, Styx, the goddess of oaths, and Eurynome, the goddess of beauty, joined hands, Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, and Hecate, the vice-ruler of the underworld, also joined hands, and the last queen Hera, the goddess of wisdom, Athena, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, came together, and this series of goddesses came to amaze the audience.
The rest of the process is similar to all weddings, where the guests give gifts to the couple. Thetis received all kinds of gifts and blessings from the gods, although she didn't know whether they were true or false, these didn't matter, she looked at her husband Peleus, who was trembling in front of the gods, with a look of love.
Eurynome looked at Thetis with some concern, and she had persuaded her friend countless times to give up her marriage to Peleus. But Thetis did not listen to the advice, and the two were almost cut off, and Eurynome had made up her mind not to come to the wedding, but she finally came. Not only did she come, but she also summoned her sister Styx and another friend, Demeter.
She hoped that she could make one last persuasion to her best friend, the wise man on the sea, at the wedding. But when she saw Thetis like this, she swallowed all the words that came to her mouth.
Whether it is gods or humans, they are in an atmosphere of joy, and inside the cave of Keron, two uninvited guests break in.
For the wedding of the gods, there will naturally be divine attendants outside, and those who have not received the invitation will naturally not let them in.
And now this man and woman are completely in, or it can be said that the goddess who walked in front is in, and the human man next to him is purely mixed in from behind.
"Lord Iathion, the Preacher. ”
This was the exclamation of the humans in the middle of nowhere, who did not expect that Iatheon, who had given them the path to godhood, would come to this wedding.
"Eris, the goddess of discord. ”
This is the cry of the gods, and the goddess of discord has a much better reputation in the human world than her brothers and sisters who are called gods of lewdness, evil gods, gods of ridicule, gods of deception, etc. But in the eyes of the gods, they would rather deal with the god of lewd and deception than provoke the goddess of discord.
This goddess is as her name suggests, but wherever she passes, all kinds of discord will be aroused.
The three kings sitting together, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, looked at the uninvited god and thought about it.
Eris, the goddess of discord, glanced at the human who was walking with her all the way, and said in surprise: "It turns out that you are Iatheon, don't say it sooner, otherwise I will give you some benefits." ”
Over the years, Iathion's reputation has spread everywhere, and how could Eris, who has been messing around in the human world, not know.
Adros smiled, looked at the daughter of the Lord of the Night, Nikos, and the sister of his own god Hekate, and said softly, "I, an ordinary human, can't afford to accept the gift of the goddess Eris. There are many gods here, so give them your gifts. ”
"You don't look like a normal human. Eris glanced at him, how could ordinary humans talk and laugh when they saw so many gods, without the slightest difference. You must know that the human heroes who came to the wedding next to them did not dare to breathe.
However, the main purpose of her coming this time was not for this magical human being, but for revenge.
The wedding was such a lively event, and the gods repeatedly refused to invite her, the daughter of the night, but she was angry.
Later, Adros witnessed the creation of the Golden Apple Incident.
"There are so many goddesses here, I just don't know who is the most beautiful goddess? The gods used to say that Aphrodite was the most beautiful goddess, but some time ago, I heard the goddess of dawn Eos say that Aphrodite was only born at an early age to receive this honor. The goddess of discord pretended to think and said: "I thought about it for a long time, and I think what she said also has some truth, after all, many beautiful goddesses are born relatively late. ”
"At this wedding banquet today, most of the goddesses have come here, I think we are here, judge who the most beautiful goddess is, right?"
