Greece: Age of Ascension

Chapter 58
Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty. If Eros, the god of love, is the masculine incarnation of love, then she is the feminine of love.

Naturally, Atlas has heard of her for a long time. This future will be the wife of Hephaestus, the God of Vulcan and craftsman, but there are really too many things to say about her romantic affairs.

She had a secret tryst with Ares, the god of war, but was caught by her husband with an invisible net.

The child of Zeus, Hermes, the messenger of the gods, once wooed her, but was rejected; Zeus sent a condor to steal a shoe of Aphrodite and gave it to Hermes, and she had to go to find it. He fell into the trap and gave birth to Hermaphroditus with Hermes.

In addition, she also gave birth to Elyx with Poseidon, the god of wine, Priapus with Dionysus, the god of wine, and Aeneas, the ancestor of the Romans, with Anchises, the hero of Troy.

Aphrodite has given birth to many gods and children, but she has not given birth to a man and a woman for her real husband, Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen.

This has to be said to be an irony.

There is a story that Zeus once pursued her, but was rejected by the other party. Zeus, who held a grudge, married her to the ugly and lame Vulcan.

Others say that the reason why Vulcan became the main god was because he built a golden chair for his mother Hera who abandoned him. In the end, the chair tied Hera tightly and could not break free.

The helpless gods had to invite Hephaestus, agree to the conditions for him to become the main god, and betroth Aphrodite to him, which allowed him to obtain the honor.

However, no matter which version of the story it is, Aphrodite's reputation is linked to words such as "sex, beauty, love". The goddess of love and lust and the protector of prostitutes.

When Epimetheus mentioned the other party, he wanted Atlas to receive the blessing of Aphrodite, so that the God of Atlas could become infinitely charming.

With his current appearance, he can't be said to be handsome, but he can only be said to be strong, resolute and so on.

When he has infinite charm, not to mention women, men may have to surrender to him, and a mere Themis is naturally not a problem.

After hearing his plan, everyone was pondering, Prometheus said: "My dear brother, do you know where Aphrodite is?"

"Of course," the god of afterthought picked up the golden snake staff and pointed to the distant sky, "she is on the island of Cyprus."

Everyone nodded, and Atlas was about to turn around and lead everyone there, but at this moment, Nemesis reached out and grabbed him in good time.

"My beloved, are you going to ask for Aphrodite's help empty-handed?"

Qingtian God suddenly realized, and instantly thought of giving the gift to Sleeping God, "I remember the west coast of the Aegean Sea, the golden apple tree hidden in the gap between the mother of the earth."

"Then go and get it quickly, I don't think any goddess would refuse such a gift." She let go of the other's hand, with a trace of deep meaning hidden in her calm eyes, "By the way, I will help you two brothers Prometheus looked after."

What he said was endless, which made him very puzzled: "Aren't you going with me?"

Prometheus opened his mouth, ready to say something, but when he got to his mouth, he suddenly shook his head in a daze.

He looked at Epimetheus again. This younger brother wanted to see Aphrodite's beauty for a long time, and of course he wanted to go with him. However, when the other party met Nemesis's clear eyes, he suddenly I changed my mind again.

Out of trust, Atlas did not suspect him, and at the foot of a hill, he put the three of them down on the flying dragon and waved goodbye.

The two brothers who had fallen into a daze only came back to their senses when Qingtian flew far away.

"Where's the eldest brother?" Epimetheus blinked in confusion, "Why did he leave us behind?"

Prometheus was also puzzled, but recalling the state just now, his expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Nemesis.

"You are you, it is you, right?"

The Goddess of Retribution glanced at them with no emotion on her beautiful face, "That fellow Moros gave you two choices, order or dictatorship?
My lover, as I expected, chose the thorny road of order. "Her tone was calm and calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"Since I chose it by myself, even if I get stabbed all over my body, I have to walk through it alone."

The two brothers were at a loss, not understanding what she meant. Prometheus, who represented foresight, frowned and thought carefully.

Just as he was thinking, a blurry image suddenly flashed across his mind, instantly setting off monstrous waves.

This is a prophecy, a foresight of the future.

After seeing the scene clearly, Prometheus couldn't help but let go of his clenched fist until it turned white, and looked at the God of Retribution with complicated eyes.

"Didn't you... already figured out everything."
-
Atlas drove the flying dragon and soared all the way to the west coast of the Aegean Sea. When he passed the high sea of ​​clouds, bursts of heat suddenly descended from the sky. His eyes swept upwards, and he immediately saw a burning chariot running fast. A figure loomed indistinctly, whistling and waving a horsewhip.

"Crack~Crack~"

The sound of the whip was crisp, and the eardrums of the people were buzzing, and the four vigorous fire horses were galloping in the sky, which was as flat as the land.That is the chariot of the sun god, driven by the contemporary sun god, from east to west, at dawn and dusk, bringing light to the whole world.

Qing Tianshen had an important job, so he didn't want to pay too much attention to it, but who would have thought that the owner of the car saw the flying dragon below, and actually leaned over by himself, waving his whip from a distance and started yelling.

"Hey, Atlas, it's me! Look here, I'm on top of you."

The passionate call brought him to his senses, and he looked at the carriage against the sunlight, only to see that the carriage was not the first-generation Sun God, his uncle Hyperion, but a child of Hyperion, Helios, the second generation sun god.

As for the third generation, it is the child of Zeus "Apollo".

"Helios? Why are you driving the sun chariot?"

Atlas's face showed joy, he and Helios are old acquaintances, we all come from the same genealogy, bow your head but don't look up.

In particular, who doesn't have many cronies, right?

As it happens, Helios is his best friend.
