Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 274: A Grand Event at the Foot of Mount Olympus
Eros thought that Athena's words were still far away from him.

But he didn't expect that just two days later, the opportunity to go to Mount Olympus would come to him.

"King of Athens, demigod born from the earth, I am here by the order of Zeus, the king of gods, to welcome you to the feet of the gods."

A rainbow appeared in the sky, and as the messenger of the gods, the rainbow goddess Iris came floating in, swinging her long, translucent rainbow hair.

She is very pretty and cool, but a little too energetic.

It reminded Eros of the school dance when he was sixteen. He stood like a minion, and the will-o'-the-wisp girl walked by with her eye-catching long hair.

Of course, I'm just kidding.

Compared to artificially rendered hair color, the long hair of the rainbow goddess Iris shines in the sun like a real rainbow.

She is the messenger of the gods, different from Hermes.

Generally, Hermes represents Zeus himself, while she represents all the gods of Olympus.

It is basically the difference between internal officials and external officials, and the occasions they appear and their duties are also quite different.

"Respected envoy, can I bring a few more people with me?"

Cecrops did not ask what it was for, as the news that the gods were going to hold a grand event had already spread throughout the world.

The rainbow-beautiful goddess glanced past Cecrops and fixed her gaze on Eros, revealing a brilliant smile.

"Originally it's not allowed, but you have a special situation here, so it's okay to add one more person."

Iris waved her hand, and the rainbow bridge connected Eros and Cecrops.

"There shouldn't be anything else to prepare, right? I'm going to take you out right away."

Eros felt a little emotional as he saw the other person clearly recognize him.

Who on Mount Olympus does not know Eros?
By the way, since this is a grand event jointly organized by all the gods, will Hera also appear?
At that time, you shouldn't do it in front of so many people, right?

Eros was figuring out something in his mind, but the colorful rainbow bridge was already carrying him towards the horizon.

The rainbow carrying the two of them quickly shuttled through countless mountains and rivers, flying towards the towering mountains in the distance.

The mountain range was connected to the clouds and covered with snow. The part that was submerged in the clouds emitted a faint divine light, but was also obscured by the clouds.

Beneath the clouds is the sacred mountain on earth, Mount Olympus.

And the place that is immersed in the clouds and emitting light is the residence of the gods, Olympus, known as the "Place of Light".

The boundary between gods and mortals is only behind a thin layer of clouds, which conceals the figures of the gods and leaves room for people's imagination.

At the foot of this sacred mountain lies a small city-state called the Holy Land of Altis.

This is the foot of the gods, and people living here can often see the divine light emanating from the sacred mountain that sinks into the sky.

Therefore, their reverence and faith in the gods are much deeper than those of people in other places.

The rainbow bridge gradually lowered its altitude, and as it passed over Altis, Eros could still hear countless prayers.

Countless incense smoke rose up, as if the entire city was located in a fantasy world that seemed both real and illusory.

In the center of the city-state, a huge circular plaza has been marked out by the gods with their great power, which seems even larger than the entire city-state.

The rainbow bridge landed in the square, and before it dispersed, many priests gathered around.

"Dear guests from foreign lands, guests of the gods, please allow us to offer you our most sincere blessings and welcome."

This city-state was indeed filled with an atmosphere that Eros had never seen before, and it was more devout than other city-states. The priests saluted Eros and Cecrops respectfully, and the Rainbow Goddess put them down and flew away immediately.

"Please come with us and rest. The grand gathering of the gods will not begin until all the guests arrive."

"Before that, please take a rest in the temple we built and prepare for the upcoming event."

This city-state is simply a Greek version of the Pantheon.

They built statues of almost all the gods whose names could be recorded and enshrined them in the magnificent temple.

However, when Eros looked at those statues, he could not say that they were similar to the gods. He could only say that they had basically nothing to do with him.

Some of them even made Eros want to laugh, for example, the size of the statue of Poseidon was probably a little bigger than her.

It would be funny to tease her about this in front of Poseidon.

"Please take a rest here. Do you need any help?"

The two were brought to the quiet room in the temple, and the leading priestess said some ambiguous words.

Her eyes kept drifting towards Eros. Even though she had received many talented demigods during this period, her eyes had gradually become more discerning.

But Eros is so handsome and dazzling, as dazzling as the gods, it is really hard not to be tempted.

Even if the gods in heaven came down to sleep with her at this moment, she would rather choose the person in front of her.

Unfortunately, neither of these is likely.

"No, I don't need to rest yet. Is it okay to walk around?"

Eros smiled, which made the priest dizzy and he responded in a daze.

When she woke up, Eros had disappeared, which made her feel a little regretful.

How could she be persuaded so easily? As soon as she heard Eros speak, she subconsciously felt a sense of agreement and had no intention of refusing.

All human beings will have this feeling when facing Eros.

Only the more outstanding people are can reduce the impact of this feeling.

Eros walked around casually in this magnificent Pantheon. He was a person who could not sit still, so naturally he wanted to wander around when he came to a new place.

In fact, he wanted to go to Mount Olympus to see if this sacred mountain could really be climbed.

It was just that he suddenly thought that the statues in the Pantheon were quite interesting, so he stayed to take a closer look.

After all, there is indeed a strange sense of contrast when looking at these statues that have nothing to do with the real person, with half-naked upper bodies and big beards.

I don’t know if Zeus and the others would feel embarrassed. After all, although it is an image imagined by humans, it still represents them.

I looked at the statues in the Pantheon one by one, admiring the exquisite craftsmanship of the ancient Greeks.

Under the most magnificent statue of Zeus, which was also the center of the pantheon, Eros looked up.

The towering marble statue embodies the ancient Greeks' imagination of this god-king, who was believed to be a powerful and strong god-king holding lightning in his hands.

And under the statue of Zeus, there was a young man whose clothes were out of place in Greek style, kneeling down and praying devoutly.

　Come on, guess who this is?
