Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 189 What should I do if my daughter turns into a cow?
The sky was getting slightly brighter, and Inakos drove all the way from late night until dawn.

He finally reached his destination before the dew soaked his clothes.

Known as the Eye of Hera, this valley is also the habitat of the all-seeing giant Argos.

This powerful giant always lives in this valley, following Hera's orders and hunting monsters that pose a threat to humans.

Human beings love it, praise it, but at the same time they revere and fear it.

It is said that this giant has countless eyes, and when you look at it, there will always be a pair of eyes looking at you.

Therefore, no human would dare to approach the valley where Argos lived.

Inachus usually doesn't come here. After all, the giant has no emotions and it is difficult to communicate with him.

And he established the city of Argos in part because he relied on the other party's reputation.

However, Queen Hera did not seem to care about this little thing and allowed him to use the name of Argos to build the city.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the valley. Inachus stopped the car. He tried to be careful and control himself not to look towards the mountain.

He knew that when he saw Argus, Argus would also see him.

Although he knew that he would be discovered even if he didn't look at it, Inachus was still afraid of Argus's sight.

He walked along the lush green grass toward the valley, which was an extremely fertile pasture.

The lush green grass was taller than his knees, and the entire valley looked like a green ocean as far as the eye could see.

Although he didn't know why there was a green pasture in Hera's Eye, Inachus guessed that it was probably because the queen of heaven liked the color green.

While recalling Eros' words, Inachus looked around for any trace of his daughter.

He remembered that Eros said he could find Io's traces by the stream.

There was only one stream running through the valley. Inachus searched along the stream but never saw his daughter.

Was it that I was just being happy for nothing?
Although he had this thought in his mind, Inachos never gave up hope and continued trudging along with his staff.

As he was walking, he heard a noise in the grass in front of him. He was overjoyed and immediately parted the grass.

But then, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

What walked out from the pasture was just a snow-white little cow.

Even though it looks very beautiful and spiritual, it is ultimately just a beast with horns.

Inachus could not hide his disappointment and sat down to rest his body which was a little tired due to anxiety and excessive travel.

Is his daughter really still alive? Or is it the other party's purpose to lure him here?
Inachus didn't know what the truth was, he just subconsciously wanted to believe Eros' words.

Inachus was sitting by the stream to rest and was feeling sad, but the beautiful calf came over very humanely.

It made a mooing sound and used its still short horns to nudge Inachus' arm.

Inachos felt a little strange, but he just thought that the calf was extraordinary and might be a sacred bull specially raised here by the Queen of Heaven.

So he reached out and pulled off a handful of grass and tried to feed it to the other party.

But the calf did not eat the grass. Instead, it licked his palm, and its green eyes showed human emotions.

But Inachus did not pay any extra attention to the sacred bull. He just stared into the distance, looking for his daughter.

It was not until his palms began to become wet that he suddenly woke up and turned around to look at the calf beside him.

This beautiful calf had big tears constantly dripping from its eyes.

This abnormal behavior, as well as the familiar feeling in those eyes, made Inachus' body tremble a little. "Io? My daughter, is that you?"

He was not so far from not recognizing his own daughter.

The calf in front of him nodded up and down in a humane manner, and drew crooked symbols on the ground with its hooves.

Inachus immediately realized that the calf in front of him was his daughter Io.

He was both happy and sad. He hugged the calf's neck and shed tears of excitement.

"My daughter, why are you so unfortunate? Why have you become like this?"

"I have traveled all over the country and couldn't find you, but I never thought you would become like this!"

"And now that I finally saw you, I felt even sadder than if I hadn't seen you at all! You couldn't even say a word, not even a word to comfort me!"

After recognizing Io, Inachus finally understood why Eros was so embarrassed at that time.

How can I talk about my beautiful daughter turning from a girl into a cow?
Fortunately, Inakos was knowledgeable and was not hit too hard to the point of being unable to stand up.

After calming himself down, he stood up with the support of his scepter.

"Don't worry, my poor daughter. I will definitely find a way to change you back."

"Now, I will take you home first, so you don't have to endure the wind and sun here."

Inachus reached out his hand, wanting to take away his daughter who had turned into a cow, but he did not notice his daughter's shaking head and the rejection in her eyes.

It suddenly darkened in front of his eyes, as if the sun had hidden behind a cloud.

By the time Inachos noticed the tall figure behind him that blocked out the sunlight, the other person had already grasped his outstretched hand.

“You shall not spy on what God owns.”

Almost in an instant, Inakos felt as if he was flying and was thrown to the entrance of the valley.

"The first time, I won't kill you. If you come again, you will die."

Inachus was thrown out like a rag, flying in the air, and could only see the tall giant.

It is several meters tall, strong and powerful, and holds a big stick.

What is amazing is that it is facing away from Inachus.

But when Inakos looked at this figure, the muscles on the broad back twisted, and his eyes opened and stared at him intently.

Argos the All-Seeing Giant! Argos the Hundred-Eyed Giant!
It turned out that it was the jailer who imprisoned his daughter, and was the enemy standing in his way of finding his daughter.

Inachus's body was thrown into the air and hit the rocks, and his old body spewed out a mouthful of dirty blood.

At this moment, he had almost lost his mind and was engulfed by rage.

But he still kept his sanity. Argos was not an enemy he could face.

He staggered to his feet, turned around and looked at the shadow in the valley with a bit of anger and reluctance, then climbed into the car with difficulty.

Now he can't care so much, whether it's conspiracy or calculation.

He would do anything to free his daughter.

　Every time I write about these things without Eros’ involvement, I feel like I can’t help but become serious.
