Mount Olympus is majestic and towers majestically over the mountains of Greece. In winter, the snow-capped peaks glisten in the sun, and in the summer, the valleys are lined with greenery. Every day, when the sun rises in the east, the dawn first hits the summit of this sacred mountain, and when the sun goes down and the silver moon rises in the east, the summit of the glorious Mount Olympus is again covered with moonlight. Occasionally, large dark clouds would drift towards the slopes of the mountain from all directions, and the valley would be darkened, with strong winds and heavy rain.

Mount Olympus is a sacred mountain, and the gods chose this place to build their palaces and govern the world there, and above the sea of clouds, there are colonnades, and in front of the colonnades are gardens with exotic flowers and plants. Strong winds never hit this paradise, and there has never been a storm in the sky above these rock-solid palaces. The top of the mountain is always sunny and sunny, with the fragrance of flowers.

On this glorious Mount Olympus, each great god had his own palace, the most magnificent of which was the palace of Zeus, the king of the gods. Every morning, when Aurora opened the gates of heaven with her rose-colored fingers to let out the sun, the gods of Mount Olympus would gather in the palace of their leader. Their supreme commander, Zeus, sat on a golden throne and received them in the largest hall of the palace.

On this day, Zeus sat on his throne and listened to the music of the Muses, and suddenly looked beside him, and the seat of Hera, the queen of heaven, was empty, and he opened his mouth and asked the gods, "Where has Hera gone?"

On the other side of his throne is the goddess Themis, the goddess of justice, who rules the peace of the whole world, is the aunt of the god-king Zeus, and his second wife, but because of the god-queen Hera, she has long been separated from Zeus.

When the goddess Themis heard Zeus's question, she said expressionlessly: "Leto is about to give birth, and our queen may not be able to sit still." ”

Leto, the goddess of the night, is the cousin of the god king, and she is also the god who has been in contact with the god king the most closely in recent times. However, her luck is not good, and the god king at this time has already established a relationship with the god queen Hera.

Hera was very dissatisfied with Leto's pregnancy with Zeus's child, especially since the three goddesses of fate had been able to confirm that Leto's belly was a man and a woman. It doesn't matter if it's a woman, after all, Themis has already helped Zeus give birth to the three goddesses of time and the three goddesses of destiny before this. But Zeus does not have a son yet, and the boy born to Leto is the eldest son of Zeus. And Hera herself has not yet given birth to a son for Zeus, which makes Hera jealous and angry, and she makes up her mind not to let him be born.

When Hera forbade the earth to give her birth, poor Leto went into hiding, wandering from place to place, and finally found a nameless island in the Aegean Sea, Adros. This is the island of Leto's sister, the meteor goddess Asteria, who could not bear to see her sister suffer, so she begged Poseidon, the god of the sea, to give her a place.

Despite this, Hera ordered that the island should not be allowed to take root and that it could only drift on the endless ocean.

Zeus summoned his messenger, the goddess Aerys, the goddess of the rainbow, who could not only convey the meaning of the heavens and the earth to the god-king, but also accurately convey the will of Zeus. After knowing everything, Zeus immediately summoned the three goddesses of fate.

"Klosso, Leto is pregnant, I have a feeling that the child in her womb will carry the glory of Olympus and become a great god, help me see, how fate is arranged?"

Klossoe is the eldest of the three goddesses of fate, she is in charge of the future and the line of life, following the arrangement of the heavens, guiding the lives of all people and gods, even the god-king Zeus cannot change.

She closed her eyes tightly, and suddenly opened them, her eyes emitting a green light, and replied: "I see that the children of the sky and the night will become the embodiment of light, and the crown of the two main gods will be on the top of Olympus. They are hope in the midst of darkness, the unity of strength and beauty. ”

When Zeus heard this, he was overjoyed, took the goblet in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and said to Aerys, "Go and tell Poseidon that my firstborn cannot be born on a floating island, and inform my mother Rhea that she may witness the birth of her eldest grandson." ”

Rhea is the mother of Zeus and Hera, and it is believed that with her presence, Hera will not have any unfavorable actions. Thinking of this, Zeus said to Themis again: "Themis, Hera has always respected you, so you should also go over." ”

Aerys and Themis had just gone out, and the sky, which had been daytime, suddenly turned into night, and in the night sky, a bright moon hung high. With the appearance of the bright moon, a burst of baby laughter was heard, and the animals in the forest all looked in the direction of the Aegean Sea, and ran around with joy, and a great god was born.

Zeus, who was sitting on the throne, heard this laughter, and unconsciously chuckled: "The moon blesses, and all things rejoice together, so call you Artemis." ”

After another seven days, the moon had not disappeared, but the sun and the stars appeared in the sky at the same time, and under the morning sun, everything was peaceful and peaceful, and the birds in the sky and the mermaids in the water sang in unison, just as the night was long and the light was seen again.

At this moment, a loud cry came, and with this cry, all the visions in the sky disappeared, and Zeus rejoiced: "Come with the sun, and bless all things, and call you Apollo." But he didn't notice that when all the visions were about to disappear, a starlight from the North Star in the north shot down with the sun.

Zeus took out a pair of bows and arrows from the treasure house, one was golden and the other was as white as snow, which was the treasure of the first god-king, the god of the sky, Ouranos. Just as he was about to personally deliver the gold and silver bows and arrows to his newborn children, a god came to report that Hera had arrived.

Zeus hurriedly called Aerys and asked her to send her bow and arrows.

"The golden bow and arrow, with its overwhelming array of arrows, will accompany Artemis throughout his life, and the silver bow and arrow, without which it cannot hit, will be Apollo's right-hand man. ”

······

When Aerys brought things to Nameless Island, he was stunned by what he saw. At this time, the island of Adros was crowded with many goddesses, Rhea, the mother of the god-king, Themis, the goddess of justice, Amphitrite, the wife of Poseidon, the god of the sea, with her many daughters, and even Gaia, the mother of the earth. And to Aerys's surprise, among the many goddesses, there were three children, not two.

When the goddess Leto saw Iris, she looked at the sky again, bit her lip, and said, "Aerys, you came here, do you have any explanation from the God King?"

Aerys hurriedly took out his bow and arrows: "On the orders of the God King, the golden bow and arrows will be given to your daughter Artemis, and the silver bow and arrows will be given to your eldest son Apollo." ”

At this time, not only Leto was surprised, but even the other goddesses were a little surprised, but they compared the last born child with the previous two, and it was all right. The first two, the children named Artemis and Apollo by the god-king, were born with visions and extraordinary divine powers, that is, many adult gods are not necessarily stronger than them. Their eldest sister, Artemis, was only seven days old before she was able to use her divine powers to help her younger brother be born.

And the third child, when he was born, only a North Star appeared, and there was almost no divine power on his body, similar to an ordinary human child, no wonder Zeus didn't want to help him choose his name.

Not only that, but the newborn third child is not as handsome as his older siblings, with black pupils and hair, and a flat nose. From life to now, he doesn't cry or laugh, if it weren't for the gods present, he could see at a glance that there was nothing wrong with this child, and I am afraid that he would be worried that he was a fool.

However, the goddess Leto was very fond of this child, and his hair and pupils were the same color as herself, like her own black robe, like the silent night.

When the lively feast finally came to an end, a group of goddesses played around on the nameless island for a few days, and finally fell silent.

······

With Artemis in one hand and Apollo in the other, Leto was nurturing them both. Her third son, Adros, lay in a cradle at her feet, his black eyes swollen and rolling. Adros was not given a name by Zeus, so Leto named him Adros, the name of the unnamed island at his feet, in gratitude to his sister, the meteor goddess Asteria.

Adros looked at his brother and sister who were being held by his mother, and he really deserved to be the future god of Olympus, he was able to eat so much when he was a child, and he couldn't compare to it. Drinking milk on their own, a few sips are enough, but they seem to be able to drink non-stop. If you look at your own body, you can see that they are about the same as human babies who have only been a few months old, and they look to be at least three years old.

After looking at it for a long time, Adros turned over and sighed in his heart: "What kind of luck did I take, sleep and wake up, and I will go to ancient Greece." It is not the ancient Greece in history, but the myth and legend, who became the son of Zeus, the teddy god king who was in the air every day, and the younger brother of the famous moon god Artemis and the sun god Apollo. But that's okay, although Zeus is unreliable, the thighs of the two of them can still be hugged. However, in addition to the fact that these gods like to mess around, the Greek mythological world is generally relatively safe, and it should not be difficult to save a small life. ”

Artemis and Apollo seem to be full, and Leto puts them down and lets them play on their own. As soon as Apollo hit the ground, he took out his bow and arrows and ran away. Artemis, on the other hand, hurried to Adros's side and teased him with his fingers. Seeing this, Adros knew that she was doing this, so he didn't play anymore, and hurriedly cried a few times.

When the goddess Leto heard the voice, she picked up Adros and kept Artemis from teasing. Artemis pursed her lips and her eyes wept. When Leto saw this, he had no choice but to pick her up and continue to let her tease Adros in his arms.
