Chapter 169: Olympus
When Tiphoos arrived on Mount Olympus, the gods were frightened and fled, but Zeus remained calm, bravely faced the monster, dodged its deadly flames, and used his scepter to unleash lightning and thunderbolts on it, and when the energy stored in the scepter was almost exhausted, he finally struck the terrifying dragon to ashes.
The reign of Kronus is here, and it is completely over, the twelve main gods of Olympus have become the rulers of this world, and even the goddess of the earth, Gaia, has retreated into the background, but Kronos issued a curse, cursing Zeus's reign will never last long, and there will be a terrifying existence to capture Mount Olympus.
Zeus led the gods, and the highest mountain in the world, Mount Olympus, established the kingdom of the gods, which became a forbidden place for mankind, which was only accessible to the gods and the spirits who served them.
Mount Olympus stands majestically among the mountains of the world, in winter, the snow-capped peaks shine in the sun, in the summer, the valley is shaded by trees, and every day, when the sun rises in the east, the dawn first shines on 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 Olympus is sprinkled 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.
The gods chose this place to build their palaces and rule the world there, and above the sea of clouds was a colonnade with gardens of exotic flowers and plants in front of it. 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 Olympus, each god has its own palace, the most palatial is the palace of Zeus, the king of the gods, every morning, when Aurora with a rose-colored finger. When the gate of heaven is opened and the sun is released. The gods of Mount Olympus would gather in the palace of their leader, and their supreme commander, Zeus, would sit on a golden throne and receive them in the largest hall of the palace.
The gods sat around Zeus, and together they enjoyed the eternal joy and infinite joy. They enjoyed unimaginable happiness, as if they were in the middle of a never-ending feast, and Apollo, with his red face and brown curly hair, played the harp for them, and the melodious music made them mesmerized.
The beautiful Carites, dressed in red and green, danced in the meadows and among the trees, the soft and melodious singing of the Muses intoxicated the gods, and the graceful and slender Herb offered Zeus and the gods exquisite food and wine, which she held in a golden cup. Delivered to the gods of Olympus, these drinks make their hearts flutter and keep their youthful vitality forever. Never tire of governing the world and humanity.
They gathered together every day as a family, and when Knox lit up the stars in the sky, the gods returned to their palaces, and Mount Olympus was silent, except for Hesti, the goddess of the family, who kept the maiden pure all her life. She remained in the public hall of the gods, as she was tasked with illuminating the palaces of the gods on Mount Olympus.
The main gods of Olympus. Each god did not live alone in his or her own splendid palace, they were like kings, and the twelve main gods had their own many retinues, all elves or demigods, some of whom were responsible for delivering orders, some of whom were responsible for preparing feasts, pouring tea and water, and some of whom were responsible for performing songs and dances, and who made the immortals of Olympus spend their leisure time happily.
The Muses and Carites were tasked with performing theatrical performances for the gods in the Great Hall, while Heber served them fine food and wine during the interlude, and the heavenly gates of the glorious Mount Olympus were tended by three young maidens who remained chaste throughout their lives, with gentle attitudes and elegant manners, gold necklaces around their necks, and garments decorated with flower and fruit motifs.
When they had opened the golden gates of Olympus, they ran with light steps to join the Muses and Carites, and together they formed a chorus and sang of the coming of light, and they were in harmony with the seasons of the year.
Herr's mother, Themis, or the goddess of justice, often sat next to the throne of Zeus, and she was selfless and law-enforced, and she used her wisdom to make Zeus make all kinds of indisputable decisions, and the charming Themis was the goddess who ruled the temples of Mount Olympus and the entire universe.
Zeus was not only the father of the gods of Mount Olympus, but also the king of mankind, and the relevant decisions and orders made by Zeus at the suggestion of Themis were passed on to the gods by the goddess Aerys, who had a pair of wings and walked on her feet as fast as the wind, and when she descended from heaven to earth, the speed was like hail falling from the clouds to the ground, and she repeated Zeus's decision to the people word by word.
With that, she spread out a pair of rainbow-colored wings and flew back to Mount Olympus, and she sat on the steps of Zeus's throne like a attentive watchdog, and even when she slept, she never loosened her shoelaces or removed her veil, because as soon as Zeus gave the order, she had to fly to the appointed place immediately.
In addition to Themis helping Zeus govern the universe, his three daughters, Parca, also assisted their parents and supervised the observance of the law, and they lived in a bronze palace not far from Herr, where they wrote the fate of each person on the walls of the palace every day, marking the path of the celestial bodies, and nothing could erase the handwriting they wrote on the walls, and they wore white dresses decorated with stars, daffodils, and wool balls.
These three goddesses sit on a glorious throne and decide the fate of each person, weaving the thread of life for each person, the youngest of the three sisters is called Croto, who holds the spindle rod, La Crosse turns the spindle and spins the thread of fate for everyone, and Atropos determines the length of each person's lifeline, which she cannot change once she has made a decision.
According to the orders of Zeus and the merits and sins of each person, they decided on the good and bad that each should become, and the three sisters of Palkar used white wool and golden wool and black wool to weave lifelines for the people, white and gold for happy days, and black for unhappy days.
This is how the great and minor gods of Mount Olympus spend their days, they usually live in this secluded environment, and only occasionally go down to the mortal world, and when they go down to the mortal world, they appear in the form of human beings.
And the twelve main gods of Olympus are: Zeus, Hera, Demeter, Hestia, Poseidon, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Ares, Hephaestus and Hermes. (To be continued)
