[Greek mythology] Queen of the gods

Facing such an embarrassing situation, Hera upheld the principle that a dead fellow would never die a poor one, and ordered Poseidon who was a little startled by Zeus' strange appearance: "Poseidon, the time has come for you to make amends."

Looking at Hera's expressionless face, Poseidon had a vague premonition, and the corner of his mouth twitched several times, "Hera, don't ask me to do it..." Before he could finish speaking, he was caught by Hera. Interrupted: "This is a request from an older brother, but you, a younger brother, cannot refuse."

Poseidon drooped his hairy head, and could only accept a punishment that was a hundred times crueler than his own failure, so Hera said in a deep voice, "You help the god king deliver the baby."

Poseidon wanted to refute a few words when he heard it, but seeing Hera's eyes turned colder, Poseidon had no choice but to go to Zeus who was in labor pain angrily, who told Leto to have fainted from the pain!If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have forced Leto like this, Poseidon thought complainingly.

But looking at Zeus, who was suffering from pain in his abdomen, and who had no previous god-king demeanor at the moment, Poseidon's gloomy heart suddenly became brighter, and he saw his eyes crooked, showing a canine tooth, "You deserve it, you have today! "

Zeus also knew what the real "surprise" Gaia gave him was, and seeing Poseidon coming to him with unfriendly eyes, he was even more ashamed in his heart. How can you accept this day's humiliation!

But Poseidon grabbed Zeus's robe and said with a sly smile: "My dear brother, you are about to give birth, where are you going to go!" Temporarily read a few God's words of restraint to him, and sure enough, Zeus couldn't run, and then Poseidon would greet Zeus with no skills and personal emotional "delivery"!

Although it was a delivery, Poseidon just used his divine power to form a small knife, cut open Zeus' stomach directly, and took out the little dot inside. After seeing the little dot's true appearance, Poseidon's blue His eyes widened, as if he had just seen the holy light of Olympus from the belly of Cronus, he said in a fuss, "Hera, look, these are twins!"

Hera already knew in her heart that the twins must be Artemis and Apollo, so she showed a lack of interest, but Poseidon saw that Hera hadn't come for a long time, and said deliberately: "Hera, Take a quick look, why don't these two little ones open their eyes?"

Did it die at birth?Hera had the worst idea to look at the two babies in Poseidon's hands, but as soon as Hera walked to Poseidon, the two babies opened their beautiful eyes at the same time. His eyes looked at him without blinking, and one of them, who was not afraid of strangers, stretched out his small hand towards him.

"Why do they only look at you and not me!" Poseidon's curly blue hair curled up in dissatisfaction once again. He was obviously the one who delivered the baby, but these two unscrupulous people only knew that it didn't help at all. Second brother!Thinking of this, Poseidon completely finished how he just disgustedly helped Zeus deliver the two babies.

As for Zeus, who is the real father and mother, after listening to Poseidon's nagging for a long time, his face was so dark that it was not as bright as usual. Born by himself, otherwise the majesty of the god king will not be guaranteed.

Sure enough, as soon as Zeus returned to Olympus, he only claimed that both Apollo and Artemis were born by Leto. In order to make this matter look more real, Zeus even asked Leto to sit beside her in public, as if he was the son of Leto. It's like rewarding her for giving birth to her eldest son.

But Hera and Gaia, who knew the inside story, almost laughed internally, and Poseidon couldn't understand Zeus's hypocrisy, and when he was about to expose Zeus, Hera stopped him.Although Poseidon didn't understand why Hera did this, after the recent incidents, it was not difficult for him to find that Hera's resourcefulness was far superior to his, and he thought that his red-haired brother must have come up with some good ideas , so he suppressed his anger and waited quietly for how Zeus would be deflated.

In the next few days, when Hera did not seem to be messing with Zeus as usual, Poseidon would hastily declare in front of the gods that Apollo and Artemis were actually made by Zeus himself. When he was born, who knew that Olympus was quietly spreading a strange rumor.

"Did you know? I heard that Apollo and Artemis are children born to God King himself!"

"This is what Mizusawa Nymph, whom I know, saw with her own eyes!"

"Just you and I know about it, don't tell the third person!"

In this way, this strange rumor was passed on to two, and then to ten, and it was known to everyone in Olympus.Every time Zeus announced a meeting, it was not difficult for him to find that the gods below always looked like they wanted to see him and couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't find out the reason, after all, even a fool would know that if it was passed on In the ears of that majestic God King, I am afraid that there will be nothing left of his anger!

Hera was very satisfied with this effect. He slightly supported his head with his hands, and praised Iris in the audience: "Iris, you did a good job."

"Thank you, Hera, for your appreciation." Iris smiled and showed Hera the most standard courtesy. In fact, she just said a few words to her group of good sisters pretending to be unintentional, but she didn't expect the effect to be so good.

Hera nodded in satisfaction, and as if remembering something, asked Iris in the audience: "Apollo and Artemis, how are you taking care of the place?"

Originally, Zeus planned to send the two siblings to Leto to be raised, but how could Hera let him be handed over to Leto like this.Leto wanted to live as a fig leaf for Zeus, but the two siblings, Hera, out of revenge, directly threatened Zeus to ask him to give the two siblings to him to raise. Anyway, he had already raised Athena. It's nothing to raise two more siblings, Aerys is taking care of them anyway.

And Zeus was out of Hera's lust. After all, Hera was one of the people present who knew about the scandal, and he had to give Apollo and Artemis to Hera to raise him. Raised by Leto, the two siblings might be able to be their own when they grow up. Now I can only pray that they don't become white-eyed wolves.

As soon as Iris thought that only one Athena was enough to annoy her, and now there are two little ones here, she was furious, but she still smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Apollo and Artemis are very quiet, Her Highness Athena, who is her elder sister, also likes their appearance very much." Iris rolled her nimble eyeballs and thought of a good idea and said, "Your Highness Hera, the sun in Olympus is brighter than usual today, Why don't you take these two little highnesses and Athena out for a stroll."

Hera's eyelids drooped slightly, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He knew that it was Iris who wanted to be lazy and suggested this, but thinking of Iris's contribution to helping him spread the news before, Hera decided to let Iris take a rest for a day. Also deal with this matter.

After listening to Hera's promise, Iris's dimples on both sides became deeper than usual. She thought that her little trick had succeeded, but she didn't know that the red-haired male god saw her every little thought.

When Hera really took Athena and the two siblings out, he realized how much sin Iris had suffered on weekdays.When Athena, who grew up a little, saw the two siblings living in Hera's palace, she subconsciously had the idea that someone wanted to share her favor with her. Without looking at them a few times, Athena felt wronged for no reason, and she is only a child of a god now, so naturally she does not have the wisdom and stability to be the goddess of wisdom in the future, so she walked away for a while and cried angrily stand up.

As soon as Hera coaxed Artemis well, she saw Athena looking like a dainty girl, her head was so big that she couldn't bear it, and she said in her heart that Iris shouldn't be given a holiday!

But Athena's cry attracted Aphrodite, the only god Hera didn't want to see besides Zeus on Olympus. Seeing the smiling goddess walking towards her, Hera only wanted to summon Argos at once.

While thinking this way, Aphrodite was already standing in front of him, "Hera, you actually brought out all the babies in your palace." As she said that, she saw Athena wrinkling her buns The look on her face, she squatted down like a close sister, "Athena, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you? Let me, Aphrodite, help you vent your anger."

However, her soft policy obviously didn't work for the future goddess of wisdom. As soon as Athena smelled the strong fragrance of Aphrodite, she wrinkled her nose and retreated behind Hera, and pulled Hera's hand in worry. Long skirt, just like Aphrodite is a strange aunt.

Aphrodite's smile remained on her face, but when she turned her beautiful eyes, she saw Apollo, who was a child but had the potential to become a beautiful boy, so she extended her claws to Apollo's tenderness with the idea of ​​nurturing a future lover Who knows that before touching the smooth feeling of my imagination, my hands that countless male gods wanted to kiss were slapped down by Artemis, the sister next to Apollo, with a small hand.

Artemis still didn't care about the shame and indignation of the god of love and beauty, and showed Aphrodite a cold face of "don't touch my brother" and a look of disgust.

Seeing Aphrodite's distraught look, Hera looked at Artemis, who was now a little taller than Apollo, and thought with satisfaction, trying to transform the group of brats into those who can see Aphrodite. Dite is her attribute.

If allowed, add Zeus!
