Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 289: Prometheus's War with the Gods

"I think what the goddesses said is wrong."

As Zeus's black glove and a staunch supporter of the human side, the prophet Prometheus spoke first.

"Only humans themselves know the affairs of humans."

"Judging from God's perspective, the conclusion drawn is naturally biased."

"I believe that the goddess Themis also thought of this, so she specially found a human to do this."

After saying this, Prometheus looked at Themis.

And Themis did nod, acknowledging her statement.

"But there are a lot of humans aren't there?"

Demeter retorted with a gleam in her eyes.

"Why must he come?"

"I heard that Eros, you and Athena created humans together, and you are close friends. Could it be that you did this deliberately because you have a private relationship with him?"

"If that's the case, then this is completely unfair from the beginning, isn't it?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he put a big hat on Prometheus and hit the pain point directly.

After all, the affair is real, but although everyone knows it is the fact, no one will say it openly.

After all, this is Mount Olympus, a place with a new dynasty and a new atmosphere, ruled by the perfect philosopher king Zeus.

Moreover, the one who was most interested in favoritism in this matter was not Prometheus, but Zeus who was sitting in the main seat with an indifferent expression.

When Demeter said this, wasn't she also mocking Zeus for being fickle-minded?

She of that day, Hera of today, and Eros who is gradually rising in prominence.

However, in the face of Demeter's sarcasm, Zeus's face remained calm and he took it calmly.

Facing Demeter's attack, Athena wanted to say something but was interrupted by Prometheus.

"Yes, Goddess Demeter, the question you asked has the answer exactly as you said it."

Prometheus walked up to Eros and introduced Eros to the gods in a generous manner.

"The reason why I support Eros is not because of personal friendship, but just as you said, Goddess Demeter."

"Eros was the template that the goddess Athena and I used to create humans. He is the ancestor of mankind, the original man."

"Who else can be more qualified than him to make judgments about human beings?"

There is no need for Athena and other goddesses to help. Prometheus is no ordinary person.

She was famous on Mount Olympus for her eloquence. How could a few goddesses who couldn't even figure out palace fighting be able to win an argument with her?

Faced with Prometheus's frank and powerful reasons, Demeter really didn't know how to refute.

As a human being, the only one who has the irrefutable qualification to judge humans is Eros.

Demeter was not good at talking, and was no match for Prometheus when she came on the field.

It's okay to ask her to get people to farm, but it's a bit difficult to ask her to convince someone to farm.

Seeing this, Poseidon quickly took over.

"The gap between humans and gods is clear. We hold this event to establish a covenant between humans and gods."

“So the evaluation of human excellence should not be done from a human perspective, but from the perspective of the covenant between man and God.”

"So it is unfair to let a human take on this important task."

After overturning Demeter's somewhat foolish argument, Poseidon brought the topic back to the original question: Should humans or gods judge whether humans are excellent or not?

This is actually a rather complicated question, but those who raised this question and thought about it were the gods on Mount Olympus.

As gods, they naturally have tendencies.

Besides, they actually need humans who are more suitable for God, not humans who are so excellent that they can live happily without God.

Just like the humans in the Golden Age and the Silver Age, their destruction was due to their perfection and excellence.

Without the fear of death and the desire for life, there would naturally be no motivation to pray to the gods and believe in them.

The nature of the matter quietly changed, from an attack on Eros to a discussion about all of humanity.

Shrouded in the strong light of the sun's crown, Helios, the sun god, spoke in agreement.

"That's right. Whether humans are good or not should be judged by us gods."

"Whether humans are good for the gods is what we need."

She represents Hyperion among the Twelve Titans, and on Mount Olympus today, she is the group with the most say among the Titans.

Prometheus quickly retorted, with a serious look on his face.

"The gods gave it to me, is it because of some purpose?"

"As a great god who runs the universe, why do you expect tiny humans to provide you with value?"

"Humans and all spirits are no different. We created them together, naturally just to make this world more colorful, not for any purpose."

"Humans raise sheep for their fur. Are the gods also like humans, raising sheep for their meaningless fur?"

I think Helios would be very familiar with these remarks.

After all, as a celestial god, she always said this when talking about human affairs in the past.

What significance could tiny humans have for the gods? What was the point of paying attention to such a weak race?

But at this moment, Prometheus used her past remarks back at her current self.

Although I couldn't see her facial expression, it was not difficult to understand her mood from her silence.

Prometheus then made his own speech.

"Let humans decide for themselves what they want to do and what is right. That will show the universal love of the gods and the broad-mindedness of the Great Father."

"Let mortals know that the rewards and punishments from the gods are all based on their own deeds, and cannot be obtained by pleasing the gods."

Prometheus, who was eloquent, silenced many opposing goddesses.

And they are suppressed by the moral kidnapping called fraternity.

Since we must acknowledge our greatness and universal love as God, we should not be so petty and critical of human beings.

Just watch what this creative race can bring to the world.

Hera looked at the defeated figures, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.

What a bunch of useless things! Do they want to suppress Eros together?
If he couldn't even deal with Prometheus beside Eros, how could he deal with Eros?
Zeus hasn't spoken yet? If Hera, the Queen of Heaven, hadn't spoken first, they probably wouldn't have even spoken.

"It seems that the discussion has yielded an answer."

Seeing that no one spoke to refute Prometheus, Zeus spoke slowly, ready to settle the matter.

"Then let's follow the original plan and let Er..."

"Please wait!"
