Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 128 Prometheus the Prophet
"Gudong."

Looking at the gold falling from Eros' hands, the ship owners swallowed subconsciously.

Because it is a simple and crude monetary equivalent, it has such a direct impact on wealth.

No one can resist gold, it itself is synonymous with temptation.

"Are you sure this is what you want to pay, my wealthy and generous guest?"

Some people could no longer resist the temptation of gold and subconsciously wanted to agree, while others were able to remain rational.

"You said you need a ship that can sail through Poseidon's storms? Where are you going? Storms rarely blow nearby."

When Eros heard someone ask this question, he smiled with satisfaction and took the gold away.

"You asked a good question, and I certainly won't lie to you and let you blindly die."

"I've said before, I need people who are full of courage. I want to follow the flow of the ocean all the way down."

"Travel through archipelagos and erupting volcanoes, meet the roar of Poseidon's wrath, reach the deepest part of the ocean, and witness Oceanus's final battle."

"This is not an easy journey. In addition to the long voyage, there are countless potential dangers, so I only need truly brave people."

"Who is willing to accompany me on this journey full of danger and passion?"

Eros couldn't help but feel itchy and couldn't help but integrate into these humans, wanting to have an exciting and interesting sea voyage.

After some consideration, Eros decided to go to Oceanus first to see how Amphitrite was doing.

Io was no match for Argos on her own, and Zeus did not say that now was the time to rescue her.

Although the unknown Hephaestus is also good, Eros is more concerned about the safety of Amphitrite.

Now that he had no known god to inquire about the situation, he was still somewhat worried.

Eros has to take a boat anyway, so it's impossible for him to fly there by himself.

Why not take some humans along and try to see if we can create some legendary characters or stories?

Even if he couldn't, it would only take Eros a raise of his hand to give him some gold and silver as a reward.

But what disappointed Eros was that after hearing his bold words, these people calmed down.

Gold was tempting, but what Eros said was too terrible for them.

Their sailing experience was limited to the nearby archipelagos, and they had never experienced the terrible things that Eros described.

When they are too far away from the land, they will be terrified and will be in danger of death if faced with ordinary wind and rain on the sea.

How can we dare to face Poseidon's storm and travel to the deepest part of the ocean?
To them, Eros' words were as unrealistic as the ravings of a madman.

Even if Eros said he would hire some people and buy their lives, it would not be so that no one would dare to respond.

"It seems that you all don't have the courage. Forget it."

Eros said with some regret.

It seems that it was just a momentary impulse and it really can't be relied upon.

He didn't feel disappointed or anything. After all, there were more mediocre people in this world, and there was nothing wrong with cherishing one's life.

After all, we can't expect most people to be like him, a happy superhero who puts fun above all else.

"Ok?"

A voice of surprise sounded from behind Eros, and then Eros heard someone answer.

"Er"

As soon as the first word of Eros' name was uttered, Eros quickly turned around and covered the mouth of the person behind him.

"Shh~"

Making a gesture to the other party to keep quiet, Eros looked at who this person who appeared behind him was.

She is petite, wearing a simple linen skirt, and has narrowed eyes. She looks familiar.
Who was it? Eros couldn't remember, but it seemed to be the goddess who followed Athena before.

"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

Eros chewed it and then blew out a puff of smoke. The people around him felt dizzy for a moment, and the next moment they forgot that Eros had just appeared here.

During this brief moment, Eros had already taken the squinty-eyed goddess to a secluded and deserted place.

"Please don't call me by my name just yet, so that others won't hear me."

Eros pointed to the sky and said.

The squinty-eyed goddess in front of him immediately understood and nodded.

"Okay, which goddess is this? Why is she in the middle of a market with these humans?"

Eros breathed a sigh of relief after avoiding the incident of Hera being summoned in the name of Eros.

"Is this the second time we've met? I didn't introduce myself last time."

The goddess in front of him kept squinting her eyes, making it impossible for Eros to see her gaze.

"I am Prometheus, the nameless god Prometheus."

"So it's you"

After hearing these names again, Eros was already very calm.

I should have thought of this last time. During the creation of humans, the one who was with Athena was Prometheus. "Hmm? Have you ever paid attention to me?"

Prometheus asked with some confusion.

She has neither any famous legend nor any divine position, only the title of "prophet".

Why does Eros act as if he is very familiar with his own name?
"Of course, after all"

Eros blurted out the words subconsciously and stopped halfway through.

Hiss. I almost forgot that the most important legend of Prometheus stealing fire was stolen by him.

Now there is only a legend that he assisted Athena in creating humans, and even the human era has been disrupted by Eros.

Now Prometheus really became an ordinary, unknown god.

This situation was a bit embarrassing, especially since Prometheus, as a prophet, obviously knew about this.

"Ahem, well, no need to thank me, it's just something that happened naturally."

Eros coughed lightly and said.

"After all, I think stealing fire is just a matter of life and death, and I don't need to be tied to the Caucasus Mountains and have my internal organs pecked out every day."

Prometheus, who had not cared about this matter, couldn't help but open his empty eyes and stare at Eros after hearing what Eros said.

Still saying thank you?
Prometheus had calculated carefully that even if he was punished for stealing fire, his torture would not exceed a hundred years.

This was also something that Zeus tacitly approved. After all, although her background was embarrassing, she was indeed the first Titan to stand on Zeus' side.

Prometheus had actually anticipated the theft of fire. She was just the one taking the blame, and the real planner was still this God King.

She possessed a preference for the human race that the previous two generations of gods did not have, as well as a foresight and broad mind that the gods could not understand.

If Zeus had openly proposed on Mount Olympus that he would bestow wisdom on mankind, he would certainly have been met with a great deal of opposition.

Although she could force this decision through, it would certainly make the gods feel that Mount Olympus was not democratic at all.

Instead, he is more like a Roman-style dictator. Although he won't say anything on the surface, he will definitely be dissatisfied in his heart.

Zeus has always regarded himself as an open-minded and tolerant philosopher king, so he would naturally not do such a thing.

So Prometheus had to take the blame and then be symbolically punished for a period of time, and then naturally someone arranged by Zeus would release her.

At that time, we can say that this was fate's will, and Prometheus would not be spared from being punished twice for the same mistake.

In the end, it was a win-win situation. Only those old men who did not understand the deep meaning of Zeus realized it belatedly and regretted it.

Then this task that originally belonged to Prometheus was completed by Eros first.

Moreover, Eros was originally a human being, so this did not count as plagiarizing the fire of wisdom from God, let alone punishment.

Of course, there are also rumors that Eros actually betrayed Zeus, the king of gods, so Zeus accidentally leaked this wisdom.

Otherwise, why among so many silver humans, is Eros the only one with such wisdom?

And wasn't it after he had a relationship with Zeus that Eros began to show his uniqueness and appeared in the vision of the gods?
Among all the gods, this view is the most widely spread and the most accepted.

However, considering that this was the only flaw Zeus had, they resisted the urge to persuade him that his beauty was ruining the country.

However, people like Prometheus who have come into contact with Eros will not think that the peculiarity of Eros is due to the teaching of Zeus.

Although Zeus is extremely far-sighted and wise, he is not as eccentric and full of strange knowledge as Eros.

But even so, when Eros was able to say "don't thank him", Prometheus couldn't help but open his squinting eyes.

Does he really not understand or is he pretending not to understand the ins and outs of this?

His empty eyes stared at Eros, glancing around suspiciously before closing again.

And her strange eyes also greatly interested Eros.

Prometheus with squinting eyes is inconspicuous, just like an ordinary nymph.

But after opening his eyes, those pupils as colorless as the sky gave Eros a somewhat different feeling.

Before opening his eyes, Eros' interest in this Prometheus was only about 0.5.

But after opening his eyes, Eros instantly became interested.

I really want to see those colorless eyes that are filled with desire and lust.

If you must say, Prometheus does not have any three-no attributes.

She just has a very elegant and easy-going temperament, and seems to be always calm.

After opening these eyes, I found the reason for this temperament.

Because her eyes can only see the future, Prometheus does not care about his current gains and losses and pain.

And this made Eros very interested.

He wanted to know what kind of future this prophet would see? Or to what extent would he be so concerned about his present?

To what extent would the paint have to be applied before someone would show an expression of unbearable pain?

And if she used her future vision to see herself being manipulated beyond recognition, would she be on guard against herself, or would she fall into depravity in advance?
Eros was looking forward to it.

　Go find Hephaestus first, then deal with the other things and characters.
