Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 275 You Don't Need to Understand the Greek Matters So Clearly

"You don't look Greek, but you believe in Zeus?"

Eros looked down at the other man, his eyes full of interest.

He could tell at a glance that the other person was not a Greek, did not have a microcosm, and had no resonance with himself.

But such a outsider knelt devoutly in front of the statue of Zeus and prayed to it.

This made Eros curious, so he took the initiative to speak.

The foreign youth who was kneeling on the ground opened his eyes. He was wearing a dusty traveler's robe, and his brown eyes were full of fatigue and confusion.

"I'm so sorry, am I bothering you?"

The other person stood up, as if wanting to make room for Eros.

But when he looked up and saw Eros's face clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned, and the next moment his expression became a little excited.

"Excuse me, are you the incarnation of the gods in heaven? Have you heard my prayers and come here to answer my questions?"

Given Eros' appearance, it is hard not to be mistaken for a messenger of God or the incarnation of some god.

Fortunately, Eros had already gotten used to this situation and didn't mind it.

"Your prayer? Sorry I didn't hear it at all."

"I'm just a passerby who happened to pass by here and I'm a little curious about you."

Eros looked at the other person's handsome features and felt a sense of déjà vu.

Listening to Eros's explanation, which was not really an explanation, the young man seemed to have misunderstood something.

The incarnation of God will certainly not admit that he is God.

He understands this unspoken rule. He understands it.

Suppressing his inner excitement and joy, the young man bowed respectfully.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Cadmus, a man who has come across the sea to look for his relatives."

"As you said, I was not born on this land."

Cadmus? Eros felt that the name was a little familiar, but not that familiar.

It’s so itchy. Is my brain going to grow back?
For a moment, Eros couldn't remember this somewhat familiar name at all.

But what is certain is that the young man in front of him is also a figure who has left a certain mark.

"I won't tell you my name for now."

After thinking for a while, Eros did not introduce himself directly.

This is at the foot of Mount Olympus. As long as Hera is not deaf, she should be able to hear her own name.

In order to avoid unnecessary complications, let’s not talk about it for now.

Just this series of operations made Cadmus even more convinced that the person in front of him was the incarnation sent by God.

A gleam of hope suddenly appeared on the tired face.

"Come from across the ocean? Where are you from? And why are you here?"

Eros asked three questions in a row, and Cadmus did not dare to hide anything and told him everything.

"Yes, I did come across the sea from Phoenicia, which is far away from here, to find my sister, so I came to this land."

As soon as he heard the word Phoenicia, the fragmented information in Eros' mind instantly came together.

So that's it! Who was he talking about? It turned out to be my brother-in-law!

Cadmus, a Phoenician prince and Europa's brother.

According to the original legend, he came to Greece in search of his sister, but never found her.

Finally, under the guidance of Apollo, the city of Thebes was established. In the city of Thebes he established, many wonderful stories were played out.

For example, Oedipus Rex, the birth of Dionysus, the god of wine, and the story of the Seven Heroes attacking Thebes.

But now, due to some butterfly effect, he did not go to Delphi to receive Apollo's oracle.

Instead, he came to the foot of Mount Olympus, figuring that he might participate in the next event.

But according to Eros's estimation, the Phoenician prince would definitely not be able to return to his hometown.

Without the city of Thebes, what would happen to the missing god of wine?
Then where did Semele, which Eros and Zeus were missing, come from?
As for the confusing relationships, for example, Eros had a child with Europa, but he still coveted Cadmus' daughter Semele.

This little detail is totally harmless and there is no need to mention it.

Eros has also fully integrated into the Greek culture and no longer has those boring concerns.

"Oh, Prince of Phoenicia, Cadmus."

Eros looked at the other person and said meaningfully.

Now that the other party has appeared in front of him, should he let Cadmus meet his sister?
After all, they have come here from so far away, and we are siblings, so we should meet each other, right?
While Eros was thinking about these things, Cadmus sighed as expected.

"Yes, that's me. It is said that my sister was taken away by the God King incarnated as a white bull."

"My father was extremely angry and ordered me to never go back if I couldn't find my sister."

"I have been searching for this for three years, but there is no news at all."

Cadmus had completely believed that Eros was the incarnation of the gods, and his tone was somewhat pleading.

"Can you show me the way? If my sister is still alive, please let me take her back to report."

"If she is no longer here, then please tell me what should I do next?"

A deep affection between a brother and a sister? It is impossible to say that there is no affection.

But it is impossible to say that Cadmus did this just out of family affection and wanted to find Europa.

He was already too exhausted to continue the task.

But if he could not find his sister, he would not be able to return to his hometown and inherit the throne of Phoenicia.

The Phoenician god was very angry. If he could not bring back the witch who belonged to him, he would be torn to pieces by the storm.

Not knowing where his future lies, the confused Cadmus, guided by the rainbow, comes to Altis, at the feet of the gods.

He prayed to Zeus, asking the king of gods worshipped by the Greeks to give him guidance or blessings.

But when he finished his prayer, Eros appeared, shining like a god.

This situation, coupled with the convincing sense of security and trust in Eros, makes it difficult not to be misunderstood.

"Please give me instructions, kind and generous gods."

“Even though I am not one of the people you created, I am willing to abandon the existence I once served and serve you instead.”

"I only hope you can give me light and illuminate my way forward."

Faced with Cadmus' sincere and earnest request, Eros didn't know how to respond.

Isn't it too late to explain now? How should I answer this guy?

Tell him that your sister already has a family business here, so don’t think about it, just do what you need to do.
Wouldn't that be a bit too hurtful to him?

Just as Eros was thinking about how to answer Cadmus, the sound of metal hitting the ground was heard softly.

A petite figure wearing armor that shone like gold appeared at the entrance of the Pantheon.
