Chapter 447: Mount Olympus (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
"The god of ice?" The primordial water god's gaze fell, immediately attracting Gaia's attention.
As the mother goddess of the earth, the earth itself of the continent where the Greek god system is located, and even the essence of nearly one-third of the land of the new world, Gaia has divine power no worse than the primordial water god.
A unique charm of calmness, deep and unmoving, rises from the earth, enveloping the whole earth and obscuring the eyes of all foreign gods.
'Patience is as immovable as the earth, and meditation is as deep as a secret? ’
With the help of the gaze of the God of Ice and Snow, Yuan Qingwei was surprised to find that the path that Gaia walked in this world was a bit similar to the path walked by a great master in Buddhism.
The difference is that the Jizo King Bodhisattva uses the name of Jizo to show his compassion, equanimity, and merit. And the road of Gaia is closer to the literal meaning, carrying all things, good and ugly, containing immeasurable treasures and offering all things.
From this point of view, this goddess path is somewhat similar to the post-earth mother of Eastern Shinto.
"Who?"
Yuan Qing's eyes turned slightly, and the ice and snow turned into swimming snakes, biting towards a void.
"Ahhhh A handsome young man ran out of the void with a strange scream, wearing a low-crowned hat with wings, holding a magic battle of two snakes, and a pair of golden winged sandals on his feet.
It was Hermes, one of the twelve main Greek gods, who was the son of Zeus, the god-king and Maia, the goddess of storms, the messenger and messenger of Zeus, the protector of walkers and merchants, the god of eloquence, the god of deception, the god of wisdom, and the patron god of various competitive games.
Yuan Qing glanced at it slightly, and saw that most of the power of this main god came from the person of the twelve main gods of Olympus, and his own divine power and authority were worse than his god Tut.
It is no wonder that in mythology, Hera became angry when she learned that Hermes had become the main god. After all, at that time, her eldest daughter, the goddess of youth, Heber, had already been born! ’
Yuan Qingwei sighed secretly in his heart, he had a certain understanding of Zeus's thoughts.
If you look closely at the twelve main gods of Olympus, you will find that the gods sitting in the positions of these twelve main gods are not simple.
According to mythology, during the reign of Zeus, the twelve main gods of Olympus were Zeus himself, his wife Hera, the goddess of heaven, marriage and fertility, Hestia, the goddess of fire, stoves and the family, Poseidon, the god of the sea, the god of the sea, the god of storms, Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and harvest, Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, Apollo, the god of the sun and light, Artemis, the goddess of the moon, the natural moon and the hunt, Ares, the goddess of war and tyranny, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, and Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmen, as well as Hermes in front of Yuan Qingwei.
Among them, Hestia, Poseidon, and Demeter needless to say, they are the elder brothers and sisters of Zeus.
Secondly, Aphroditeus, the goddess of love and beauty, is a remnant of the divinity of the god of the sky, Ouranos, and her heir, Eros, has the same name as the primordial god, which cannot be understood by common sense.
And the rest of the main gods are all children of Zeus, and they have some contradictions with each other, and the existence standing behind them is also different.
However, Athena may not be in a good position now. ’
Thinking of this, Yuan Qingwei suddenly remembered that Athena's mother was the goddess of the ocean, the primordial goddess of wisdom and thought, Metis. As the granddaughter of the Ocean God, after revealing that the Ocean God is the incarnation of the original water god, Athena is now afraid that she has fallen into the suppression of Hera and the Apollo brothers and sisters.
After all, the mother of Apollo and Artemis, Leto, the goddess of night, nurturing and concealment, as the god of the goddess of the night, Niks, has died with Nix in the process of world merging.
"The god of ice?"
Hermes, who was screaming, saw that after Yuan Qingwei forced himself out, he was standing motionless on the surface of the lake, and couldn't help but stop moving, and after a call, he gently descended in front of Yuan Qingwei.
"Hello God of Ice and Snow, I am Hermes, the messenger of the gods, and on the orders of His Majesty Zeus, the great master of the universe and the god-king, I have summoned you to the sacred mountain of Olympus! Please come with me! ”
After speaking, the staff entwined by the double snake in Hermes's hand pointed to his feet, and on the sandals with wings, a pair of golden wings bloomed into a streamer, turning into an illusory road and appearing at Yuan Qingwei's feet.
Yuan Qingwei frowned, although Hermes's language could not be called offensive, what he did did not give Yuan Qingwei the slightest chance to choose.
He took a deep look at Hermes, and he embarked on an illusory path.
In an instant, the space was transformed, and it was obvious that Hermes used the authority of his own travel to perform some magic similar to spatial shifting, bringing Yuan Qingwei to the foot of the Olympus Sacred Mountain.
The sacred mountain is towering into the clouds, surrounded by clouds and mist, surrounded by rainbows of various colors, thunder resounding from time to time, and wisps of wish power gather from all directions. Dense Taoist principles fall from the void and intertwine on the sacred mountain of Olympus, rendering it more sacred and bright, satisfying all mortals' imagination of the abode of the gods.
This is the sacred mountain of Olympus, and it really has a lot of mystery. Yuan Qingwei looked at the sacred mountain in front of him and couldn't help but secretly marvel.
According to Yuan Qingwei's knowledge, the Olympus Sacred Mountain itself is the condensation of the godhead of Uria, the lord of the mountains, when the god of the sky, Ouranos, was the god king, he once frantically invaded Gaia, the mother of the earth, and forced her to give birth to many Titan gods.
During this time, Uria, the lord of the mountains, a symbol of the bulge of the earth, challenged her brother, the god of the sky, to help her mother.
But the final result was that Uria was defeated by the god of the sky and was killed by Ouranos, and the godhead was also under the control of Ouranos and turned into the original Olympus sacred mountain.
Later, Ouranos was cut off from the earth by his own children and fixed in the sky, and Olympus became the sanctuary of the second generation of gods.
However, at that time, the second generation of gods who ruled the heavens and the earth did not have twelve main gods, and the Titans were based on the power of the Olympian mountain for their own majesty.
In cooperation with the Mother Earth goddess Gaia, it is also the source of blessing and help, as well as the origin of its own rule, and the twelve main god personalities are condensed on the Olympus Sacred Mountain. Let some brothers and sisters who did not have the personality of the main god also have the authority of the main god.
Of course, at that time, the main god personality condensed on the Olympus Divine Mountain was still relatively illusory, and the main god personality on the Divine Mountain was really powerful when it was in the third generation of gods.
At that time, the failed Titan gods who were cut down and the sealed ones were sealed, and those sealed gods not only lost their own person, but even their authority was integrated into the Olympus Sacred Mountain, and with the power of the third and fourth generations of gods, the current Olympus Sacred Mountain was cast.
Therefore, in other words, the current Olympus Sacred Mountain can actually be regarded as a collection of divine power and authority of the gods, belonging to the Greek mythological world, a concrete manifestation of the will of heaven and earth.
And this is also an important basis for the Greek god-king to be able to compete with the primordial gods! A hint of clarity appeared in Yuan Qingwei's eyes.
PS: For a special statement, Venus and Cupid belong to Roman mythology, not Greek mythology. Although there is a high degree of overlap between Roman and Greek mythology, the names of the other gods are different except for Apollo, who belongs to the god of the sun and light (Apollo is closer to the god of light in Greek mythology, and Rome is closer to the god of light).
