Chapter 172: The Way of God
Helios could not bear to suffer the inhabitants of the island, so he told Demeter of Persephone's whereabouts, and Demeter approached Hades and demanded that he return his daughter, but the king of Hades had already made Persephone swallow the pomegranate seeds of a pomegranate fruit in the underworld, so that he could not return to the human world (if the living eat the food of the underworld, they will not be able to return to the yang world). -Uncle haha-*
Demeter begged Zeus to allow her to go down to the underworld to accompany his 'daughter', but for the sake of the growth and reproduction of all things, Zeus refused her request, and since Zeus refused the request, Demeter no longer cares about the world, resulting in the world suddenly 'chaotic', plants no longer grow, the land becomes barren, and the black 'color' representing death slowly replaces the green 'color' of life.
Later, Zeus promised Demeter that he could go down to the underworld to accompany his 'daughter' for three months of the year for the sake of the world, and since then, the earth will no longer produce in the three months that Demeter has left the mortal world, and the world presents a barren scene, so the time when Demeter went down to the underworld is called winter.
Hermes, the god of commerce, the god of travelers, the god of animal husbandry, the protector of travelers, the patron of merchants, the god of eloquence, the messenger of the gods, the messenger and messenger of Zeus, the inventor of rulers, numbers and letters, clever and cunning, the creator of the art of deception, he passed on the art of deception to his son, he was also the inventor of the lyre, the patron god of all kinds of athletic competitions, he was in charge of commerce, theft, travel, sports, athletics, transgressions, the guidance of the Yellow Springs Road, with the snake staff, the winged boots, the tortoise, the lyre, the rooster, The snake is the symbol.
He was a stealer, he had played a joke with the gods, he had stolen Zeus's scepter, Bo' Sedon's three-strand fork, A'Bo' Rao's golden arrow, Artemis' silver bow, and Ares' sword, and when he was a child who slept in a cradle, he once broke free from his swaddling clothes without his mother noticing. Slipped out of the 'hole' in the mountain, killed a giant turtle, and made the first lyre out of the turtle's shell, three branches, and a few strings.
On another occasion he jumped out of a cave in the mountain and stole fifty of A'Poro's cattle in the valley of Pieria, so as not to leave a trace. He tied the ox's feet with reeds and branches, and then he went back to the forest, and continued to drive the oxen, and when he reached Pylos, he killed two oxen and sacrificed them to the gods, and hid the others in the 'caves' of the mountain, and returned to his mother's place of residence as if nothing had happened, and climbed into the cradle.
But his mother noticed what he was doing. He reproached him for being too reckless, and feared that A'Bo'ro would take revenge on them, and sure enough, when A'Bo'ro found out that his cattle had been stolen, he went to Hermes, and Zeus ordered Hermes to 'hand' over the herd, and when A'Bo' Luo pulled his ox out of the mountain's 'cave', Hermes was sitting on the stone at the mouth of the mountain 'cave' and playing the harp, and the beautiful sound of the harp made A'Bo'ro very intoxicated. He even agreed to change the piano with a cow.
Dionysus was not originally one of the twelve Greek gods. Later, however, Hestia gave up the position of the main god to him, and he was the god of wine, who not only possessed the intoxicating power of wine, but also became a charismatic god with his joy and love.
He was the son of Zeus and Semele, who was the princess of Thebais. Zeus fell in love with her and had a tryst with her, and when Hera learned about it, she was very jealous and became a relative of the princess, instigating the princess to make a request to Zeus. It is necessary to see the true body of Zeus to verify Zeus's love for her.
Zeus could not resist the princess's request and showed his original form, as a result, Semele was burned to death in the thunder fire, Zeus rescued the infant Dionysus, who was less than a month, and sewed him into his big 'leg', and did not take him out until full-term, because when he was in Zeus's big 'leg', Zeus walked like a lame, hence the name Dionysus, which means the person with a lame 'leg'.
As an infant, Dionysus was first entrusted to his mother's own sister, the second wife of the Theban king Athammas, Ino, who regarded Dionysus as her own son, but Zeus, who was afraid of the revenge of the queen of heaven, finally chose to ask Hechuli to take the child to the house of Nice Ade, and put it in the fairy 'daughter' of the mountains and forests, and the fairy 'girl' 'spirit' raised him with his heart.
As a teenager, he was appointed as the god of revelry, and the half-man, half-sheep god of the mountains and forests was his tutor, educating and accompanying him on his travels, he roamed around in his chariot pulled by the wild beast panther, he mastered all the secrets of nature and the history of wine, and wherever he went, he taught people how to grow grapes and make sweet wines.
He roamed like this, and wherever he went, music, singing, and binge drinking, and his 'attendants', known as the Dionysian devotees, were also known for their noisy disorder, laughing unbridledly, drinking, dancing and singing carelessly, and among his 'female' and 'sexual' followers, the most unrestrained were the Dionysian priests, who, in the atmosphere of revelry, were drunk and danced with him, all the way from kingdom to kingdom.
When they were mad or excited, they used brutal violence, and they tore apart the hands and feet of the talented musician Orps, and even the king of Thebais was punished by the god of wine because of his people's worship of bacchus and the Thebais, who were punished by the god of wine and died tragically at the hands of the angry 'women', and it was Penthos and his own mother Agova who led the fanatical 'women' to punish Penthos.
This is the twelve main gods of Olympus, in this world, the gods are the masters of the world, and mortals basically have no chance to become gods, because, in the flood there is the existence of aura, so mortals can become immortals through cultivation, and this world is different, there is no aura in it, whether it is mortals or other animals, it is impossible to cultivate.
Therefore, in the midst of the desolation, Shinto, which is not valued at all, is the mainstream here, and the immortal way of pursuing detachment has never appeared in this world at all, which makes mortals mortals mortal all their lives, and the gods are destined to be high, accept the worship of mortals, and wantonly 'play' with the fate of mortals.
And the so-called gods, including which monster Titans or something, can have immortal life, powerful power, in the final analysis, it is still the power of the bloodline, they are all descendants of the earth's 'female' god Gaia, inheriting her bloodline, so that they can become gods.
As for mortals, although they have no chance of gaining eternal life, they can become heroes admired by everyone by killing monsters or making great contributions in war, and even have the opportunity to take gods as wives, just like the current flying father Peleus, who is the most 'colorful' hero, so he took the 'female' god of the sea and gave birth to the reincarnation of Achilles.
As for the gods, the gods in the wilderness are all behaving in a proper manner, and basically do not oppress the people, but this world is different, the gods do not have too many constraints, they can act recklessly, and do whatever they want, if mortals dare to disrespect the gods, they will definitely be killed by the gods. ,
