Chapter 263: Hera
If Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is heroic, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, is bright and moving, then this new goddess is graceful and luxurious.
I only saw the goddess holding a scepter, her beautiful curly hair flying down from the crown, her arms as white as lilies, the fragrance of gorgeous clothes, and a pair of bright broken gold and blue eyes staring indifferently at everyone present, revealing a majestic expression.
If an ordinary person looks at others in this way, the people who are being watched will certainly feel dissatisfied, especially the people in the presidential palace who were not highly sought after in the past? Even theologians who were not popular in the past were highly sought after by political leaders after the fog that covered up the truth of history was lifted, and they were the only ones who looked at others in this way, and where could others see them in this way.
But being watched by this goddess, the people in the presidential palace did not have the slightest dissatisfaction, and even felt that it was an honor to be looked at by the other party with a lofty attitude.
To be watched by the goddess means that she is one of her people, not an insignificant ant.
As early as after the arrival of the goddess Athena, he desperately hid behind people, reducing his sense of existence, for fear that he would attract the attention of the goddess and then be crushed to death by a scepter, the lion Sphinx, immediately teleported to the side of the goddess after the goddess came, half-crouched, the lion's tail wagged, and a majestic golden face showed a flattering smile.
The Sphinx is currying favor with the newly descended goddess...... Seeing this scene, many people's hearts moved, thinking of the identity of the pet of the lion Sphinx, and the identity of the goddess who arrived was about to come out.
"Praise be to Hera, the great diva!"
Almost instantly, all those who reacted fell to their knees again.
As one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, the daughter of the previous generation of god-king Kronos, the wife of the current god-king Zeus, and the goddess of marriage, Hera, the queen of heaven, plays a disgraceful role in the mythology of Olympus, and the impression is not good, but she can't stand her small heart.
In mythology, there is no one who offends Hera/god who is not retaliated by her, and those natural gods or demigod heroes with the blood of human gods can bravely walk up in Hera's revenge, which does not mean that they mortals can also rise to the challenge from Hera's retaliation.
Praise Hera with your heart, not to get Hera's favor, but not to get in the way of the goddess's eyes.
"Mortal, offer me the golden apple. Hera, who sat on the golden throne, said to Cornelius in a condescending manner.
"Give me the golden apple, mortal. Aphrodite chuckled at the corners of her lips.
"......" Cornelius's mouth was half open, not knowing how to answer.
He never imagined that after he took out the golden apple, three goddesses would come together.
The advent of one goddess is a good thing, the arrival of two goddesses is a bad thing, and the arrival of three goddesses is a crematorium.
In ancient Greek mythology, in order to compete for the golden apple, Hera, the queen of heaven, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, respectively used wisdom and strength, supreme power and the most beautiful woman in the world to lure Paris, the judge chosen by the gods, to designate the golden apple to himself in the competition for the golden apple.
Paris chose Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, only to start the Trojan War, in which he himself fell.
Now, it's his turn to be the referee.
"Although I don't care about the golden apple, as the goddess of wisdom, I can't tolerate the golden apple, which symbolizes the most beautiful goddess, falling into the hands of a god who is not worthy of the name. ”
"Cornelius, king of the Greeks, I command you, in the name of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, to offer me a golden apple, and in return I will give you incomparable wisdom and power, and on the contrary, I will take back the wisdom and power that have been given to you. ”
Of the three goddesses, Athena was the first to give the order to ask Cornelius to offer the golden apple to herself in the name of the gods, just as she said to Paris in Greek mythology.
"Cornelius, the king beloved by the Greeks, you should know who is the most beautiful goddess in the world...... Now, follow your heart's guidance and offer the golden apple to Aphrodite, the most beautiful goddess in the world. ”
"In return, I will let you marry the most beautiful woman in the world, and otherwise, you will lose the appearance I have given you. ”
It was Aphrodite who made the request.
"Mortal, give me the golden apple, and I will give you supreme power and bless you to be a ruler on high, otherwise you will lose your existing rights and will never be able to turn over. ”
Hera, who sat on the throne, looked proudly at the people below.
Konelius held the golden apple with a wry smile on his face, the three goddesses want the golden apple, but there is only one golden apple, for whom?
At this moment, he hated himself for having only one golden apple, and if he had three golden apples, he would not be in a dilemma now.
However, he also vaguely knew in his heart that even if he had three golden apples, he would eventually fall into the current situation, because these three goddesses were not competing for the title of 'the most beautiful goddess'.
Although the golden apple is precious and rare, it is not a unique treasure.
In Greek mythology, when Hera and Zeus were married, Gaia, the mother of the earth, brought back a large tree with lush foliage from the west coast and gave it to Zeus and Hera as a wedding gift, and this tree was the golden apple tree.
Offering the golden apple to Aphrodite?Cornelius inwardly rejected the idea, and as a god, Aphrodite was not ranked among the gods.
It is true that Aphrodite, as one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, seems to have a lofty status, but in fact it is far less powerful than it seems to outsiders.
The concept of 'the older the stronger' runs through the entire ancient Greek mythology, the ancient primordial gods are the existence at the top of the entire god system, and the other second- and third-generation gods born from the primordial gods are far inferior to the ancient primordial gods in terms of strength.
As the king of the gods in the third generation of gods, Zeus is inferior to the second generation of gods Typhon in terms of combat effectiveness, and must rely on the 'one-day fruit' to weaken the power of Typhon in order to defeat him, as a member of the third generation of Olympus's god system, and the goddess Aphrodite is certainly not ranked among the Greek gods.
Dedicate the golden apple to Hera or to Athena?
Konelius pondered for a moment, and quickly made a choice, "On behalf of all the Greek people, I present the golden apple to Her Royal Highness Athena, the most beautiful goddess. ”
