Chapter Seventy-Three: The Death of Antaeus
The island of Arcadia, which is the residence of many daughters of Okeanos, grew up here with Styx, the goddess of vows, Amphitrite, the queen of the sea, Metis, the goddess of wisdom, and the former lover of Zeus, who had just been taken down by Adros, and the goddess of beauty, Eurynoma.
When Artemis was a child, she fought for the seas for a while, and she also lived on this beautiful island.
Now Artemis has returned to his homeland, and as half of the master of the sea, Amphitrite, the queen of the sea, has set up a feast on this island to entertain this gifted young goddess. For this reason, Amphitrite also went to Dionysus, the god of wine, to exchange a large number of fine wines.
Although Poseidon was not satisfied with the fact that his wife was not in their kingdom and the beautiful Atlantis had a banquet, and came to this place, he still came to accompany him. After all, the goddess who came to visit was an Olympian goddess, and she and his brother were powerful warriors.
Ever since Thetis, the goddess of the sea, married Peleus, the demigod of the human race, there has been no war on the sea, and Poseidon has rarely had a leisure, so he feasted for a few days on the island of Arcadia.
Unbeknownst to him, the golden human who cared for their son Antaeus, the priest of Mother Gaia, had been waiting in his Aquaman's palace for days.
Ever since he knew that Androeus had made up his mind to kill Hercules, the priest of Mother Earth felt that something might happen and came to report to Poseidon early. However, Poseidon was not in his palace at this time, and he could not be informed even through the temple.
However, the gods of the Sea King's Palace who had come to the island of Arcadia to report the news were blocked by the gods of Amphitrite and Artemis, and could not pass on the news.
It wasn't until Antaeus died that Poseidon sensed it and reacted.
As he stepped out, he received the news, and the sound of rage spread through the seas and the earth, and the son, whom he had hoped for, died.
Poseidon looked coldly at the host of the banquet, his wife Amphitrite, although it was not clear what role she played in it, but he kept the news out and did not let himself know, it must have been her doing.
Amphitrite also looked back at Poseidon with a grim look, and since she knew that he had a child with Gaia, the Earth Mother, Amphitrite had wanted this day. Now Artemis has just come to her, and she can push the boat smoothly without her hands, but it is just to entangle Poseidon for a few days, why not do it?
······
In Libya by the sea, Poseidon looked at Hercules below, receiving cheers and praise from his many subordinates. And his son, Antaeus, who is also talented, has become a foil for his heroic path.
The king of the sea was furious, and he had spent so much of his lips and energy to get Gaia to agree to give birth to a child for him, but he didn't expect to die like this.
You must know that Poseidon has high hopes for this powerful child, and it can even be said that he has ambitions. He hoped that this child would inherit the authority of both the sea and the earth, and overshadow the sons of Zeus.
However, now that all ambitions were in vain, Poseidon turned his heart up, lifted his trident, and threw it at Hercules below.
"Poseidon, what are you going to do?"
Just as Poseidon was about to make a move, Hercules' father, the god-king Zeus, arrived here. Behind him, there are also the gods of Olympus.
"You know, he's not only my child, he's Gaia's son. ”
Poseidon looked at Zeus and the goddesses behind him, and subconsciously thought that they were all here to stop him, he didn't know that his younger brother, the god-king Zeus, had just experienced an extremely wonderful story.
Zeus snorted, "So what? Ouranos is her child, Kronus is her child, and the troll Typhon is her child." How can we, my grandmother, care about the gods of our children?"
Poseidon glanced at Zeus faintly, knowing that he had no chance to attack Hercules at this time, so he put away his weapon.
Furious, he drove the carriage back to his territory, and wherever he passed, the monstrous waves continued to rise, as if to announce the mood of the king of the sea.
The gods looked at Poseidon's departing back, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say. They could not persuade Poseidon to leave it at that, nor could they persuade Zeus to make Hercules pay, so they could only deal with it in silence.
Zeus looked at Hermes, the divine envoy who rushed over in a panic, and was a little dissatisfied, and he handed over the task of taking care of Hercules to this obedient son, but he didn't expect something to happen.
Hermes lowered his head and explained to Zeus why, before Hercules set foot in Libya, a large group of sea monsters besieged these human heroes.
Fearing that something would happen, Hermes took matters into his own hands and fought the sea monsters, but was led to a mysterious sea. It took him a few days to escape from there, and then something happened.
"There must be someone else's conspiracy here, otherwise it wouldn't have been such a coincidence. ”
Athena, the goddess of wisdom, reacted immediately.
Zeus looked at this wise beloved daughter and nodded slowly, he also understood that someone should be deliberately provoking his relationship with Poseidon. However, he was not worried, believing that with Poseidon's situation, he was destined not to turn against him, and he would not dare to turn against him.
As for the fact that he once had a history with Mother Gaia, it was nothing, and there were many gods who had a past with Mother Gaia. It was Zeus himself, if it weren't for the fact that after becoming a god-king, his mind changed drastically, and he was unwilling to have a relationship with a god more powerful than himself, most of them would not have given up on his beautiful and kind grandmother Chunfeng for a while.
"Athena, you and Hermes will look after Hercules next, and you must not do this kind of thing again. ”
Zeus sent his wisest daughter, and he sensed as if a black hand was being directed at him and his court. And he probably had to spend a lot of energy to appease his wife, the queen of gods, Hera, and the other gods.
This time, Zeus felt that he was embarrassed and embarrassed, and he would actually be with a ewe. Hey, but thinking of this ewe, Zeus felt a little heartache in his heart, what a lovely and delicate sheep.
In addition, the god who has disgraced himself, the Lord of the Stars, must be vengeed by himself. Zeus was silently planning in his heart, and when Hercules' affairs were understood, this account should be calculated carefully. It's just that he doesn't know what role his beloved daughter, Artemis plays in it, and he is extremely conflicted.
Adros didn't know Zeus's thoughts, and even if he knew, he didn't care, and it was inconvenient for him to let too many people know about the vest of the Lord of the Stars. It's the human evangelist Iathion's waistcoat, which only needs to make one last attempt, and then, it can be thrown away.
