Chapter 31: The Tragic Hero Who Killed His Father and Married His Mother
Dionye, the goddess of the ice sea, has been in a very unhappy mood lately, and anyone who wants to marry a strange god will feel unhappy, especially a goddess like her who doesn't want to marry at all.
Despite all the worries in her heart, Dionyse could only face the reality that she had to do what her father wanted to marry the son of the goddess of the sea.
She is different from her sisters, they became the main gods, all relying on their own strength and talent, but she relied more on the resources that her father, Okeanos, the lord of the ocean, bought for her.
She is the goddess of the ice sea, and it was her father who planned a glacial sea for her in the north of the earth, so that she could become the main god in the sea that was in harmony with her divinity, and her divine power and law were combined.
Because of this, over the years, Dionyse has never refused his father's request.
"Diony, Diony, are you here?"
Hearing this loud shout, Diony couldn't help frowning. She has always liked quietness, so she has carved out such a place in the sea area that her father is in charge of, so that she can live alone.
All this time, all her siblings, even her parents, knew about her character and never came to bother her. But today, there was an unfamiliar voice yelling at her.
Diony went out, and she wanted to see where the hell the guy came from, and she didn't understand any politeness.
The moment she saw the god, suddenly, she felt as if something had struck her heart. She looked down and saw that it was a short arrow made of lead. Dionyse was about to take the arrow in his hand and see what it was, but all of a sudden, the lead arrow disappeared.
Gone, Diony, not knowing why, lost the desire to explore the short arrow in her heart, and now she was thinking only one thing in her heart.
The god in front of her, although she didn't look ugly, her words, deeds, bearing, and even her divine power to control the shallow sea made her feel disgusted.
Dionyse dared to swear to her eldest sister Stix that since she had become conscious, there had never been a god who could make her feel so sick that she was on the verge of vomiting.
But Cayon on the other side would not have thought so, and he finally stood in front of the goddess of his dreams, and said in a tender voice, "Good news for you, Diony." My mother, Talasa, the goddess of the sea, agreed to the marriage of the two of us. ”
When she said this, Gaion's heart was full of happiness, but Diony, who was opposite him, was pale, and she thought that she might marry a not very good god, but at least he shouldn't be so disgusting.
Encountering such a disgusting god, how could Diony possibly have a happy communication with him. But Gaion did not seem to see Diony's ugly look, and continued to talk about it, even mentioning what their married life should be.
The two so-called fiancés are in this quiet sea, one is talking, the other is enduring it, and they have a unique exchange.
Unbeknownst to the two gods, their communication was completely watched by Harya, the goddess of the sea, who rushed over from behind.
Harya finally followed the strange goddess's advice and came to take a look, and when she saw the attitude of the Ice Sea Goddess towards her brother, her face was even colder than that of the Ice Sea Goddess.
Far away from here, the goddess of deception, Apate, came out of the night robe with the little goddess of love, Eros, and the little goddess of love, Eros, said to Apat with a worried expression: "Aunt Apate, you must tell my father that you asked me to shoot this arrow." ”
Apat looked at the cute child in front of her with a smile and asked, "Why do you say that, little Eros?"
Eros cried and said, "My father said that I was not allowed to use these two arrows until I knew what love was, otherwise he would have taken it back." ”
The thought that his father would take back his favorite toy, little Eros was full of unhappiness and worry.
"Oh, that's right, why don't you introduce you to a little girl and let you know what love is. ”
The goddess of deception pinched Eros's face, and kept thinking in her heart, where is the right little girl, she must introduce one to little Eros.
Eros said with a sad face: "I also want to, originally at Sister Xuanming's place, I was ready to pursue Hela, but Hela didn't pay much attention to me. ”
"Who is Hela?"
"According to my mother, Hela's father was the Lord of Mars in the Stellar Court, but now he is imprisoned by their God-King. So Hela was only thinking about how to improve her strength so that she could save her father, and never played with us. However, her two older brothers, Fenrir and Jörmungård, still enjoyed playing with me. ”
When Apat heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, and said to Eros: "Then you must be that the skill of chasing girls is not enough, and you must let your father teach you well." Otherwise, you might like boys just as much as your grandfather. ”
Zeus is now almost not interested in beautiful women, but more interested in some handsome men. The gods of the Kaos Divine Domain almost all know about the changes in His Majesty the God King. Of course, the gods of the Stellar Court knew better, and they knew that the reason for this change was that Hekate's original sword shattered Zeus's lower body and could no longer grow.
"My mother said that my father had never pursued girls at all, and that Uncle Apollo and Uncle Dionysus were better at chasing girls, so I could learn from them. But they never taught me this, and every time I went over, they either asked me to learn music or draw and other useless things, saying that these were basic skills, and they thought I was a child, and I was already dozens of years old. ”
"I see, well, the next time I meet Apollo and Dionysus, I'll let them teach you something useful. ”
Apate's heart was overjoyed, and she felt that she had no sense of accomplishment in deceiving this interesting child. But the thought of Eros pursuing the little girl made her heart look forward to it.
······
On the other side, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, is with Eris, the goddess of discord, who looks at Aphrodite boredly, not knowing what the goddess has brought herself to her temple for.
However, when one of Aphrodite's gods came to visit her, she became interested in the goddess Erliston. This is a blind human whose name has been remembered by the gods, because he is also a pioneer among humans.
Eris did not expect that this former king of Thebae, called Oedipus, would become the god of Aphrodite, and he had already ignited the divine fire and became a demigod.
The story of Oedipus can make the gods feel embarrassed. I have to say that he is a human hero who dares to rebel against fate, but unfortunately, he did not escape the established fate after all.
At that time, the king of Thebais, Laius, who had no children for many years after his marriage, went to the temple of the sun of Delphi with his queen Iocast, and received an oracle: You will have a son, and when he grows up, he will kill his father and marry his mother.
When the king and queen heard this, they returned to the palace worriedly. Soon after, the queen gave birth to a baby boy. In order to avoid bad luck, the king pierced the child's heels with wire, and then ordered the servant to throw the baby into the mountains and forests outside the city to let it die.
In distress, he met a shepherd of his friend King Corinth, and when he learned that King Corinth had no son, the servant gave the baby boy to the Corinthians.
King and Mrs. Corinth were very happy to see the child, and saw that the child's feet were swollen. Named him Oedipus, the king and his wife treated little Oedipus as if he were their own son.
It's just that in Corinth, there have always been rumors that he is not the biological son of King Corinth, and one day, Oedipus suddenly came to ask the king if he was the king's biological son. The king, who regarded him as his own son, lovingly said to him, "You, Prince Oedipus, the future king of Corinth. ”
From then on, he never believed anyone who said he was not the biological son of King Corinth. When Oedipus received the oracle of "killing his father and marrying his mother" in the temple of the sun in Delphi, he quietly left Corinth alone, wanting to escape the sanction of fate, but he did not expect that it was this that made him step by step into the arrangement of fate.
At a three-way intersection, a carriage guarded by a group of men rushed towards Oedipus, who was inconvenient to walk and gave way to a beat, and the group of people made insulting remarks, and the two sides got into an argument and a big fight, and King Thebais in the carriage, who was Oedipus's own father, beat Oedipus with a cane.
Oedipus blocked with his arm, and the king was killed by the cane that bounced back, and all but the servant who did not take Oedipus' life escaped and died.
Later, he came to the city of Thebais, and relying on his wisdom and strength, he subdued the Sphinx, the Sphinx, and was proclaimed king, and married a widowed wife. Oedipus married his birth mother for sixteen years, gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and became the beloved king of the Thebais.
But the truth of the king's death and the life of Oedipus cannot be concealed in this world where the gods exist. Because Thebai suffered a cursed disaster, this fact gradually came to light under the guidance of the temple sacrifices.
After some investigation, the facts are all there, and Oedipus is the murderer of his father and mother. Oedipus' birth mother committed suicide in shame, and Oedipus stabbed his eyes and went into self-imposed exile to punish himself for his mortal sins.
Oedipus, who was in agony and exile, was known to Aphrodite for inadvertently helping Eros, the playful little god of love. So Aphrodite took this singing and weeping human being as a god, and passed on to him the method of godhood created by Adros.
Oedipus is worthy of the hero chosen by fate, his talent is extremely good, but in a few decades, he has become a demigod at the peak, and he is only one step away from becoming a god.
Looking at the blind god in front of him, and his face full of pain and remorse, Aphrodite said, "Oedipus, I have something for you to do. ”
"Please the Goddess commands. ”
