Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 308 The Father of Mankind Must Be Matched with the Mother of Mankind

Eros loved to watch women fighting.

With such a good opportunity, I'm sure many goddesses will come here to fight and take revenge.

This scene is quite rare.

Prometheus seemed somewhat helpless about Eros's remarks.

She was worried because there were constant conflicts and disputes on Mount Olympus, but Eros was just thinking about having fun.

This is really too much.

"Well, they can't be killed anyway. We can take revenge if we have grudges and avenge grievances. Wouldn't it be better to have a fight than to have a verbal fight against each other?"

Seeing what Prometheus meant, Eros explained.

When there is a conflict, the easiest way to resolve it is to have a fight.

This is much better than just talking to each other openly and then pulling each other's legs and engaging in internal fighting.

Perhaps what Eros said made some sense, and Prometheus's worried expression improved a lot.

"That's right. They're going to fight anyway, so it's easier to just make a scene."

Prometheus also became more open-minded and no longer worried about it.

"Oh, there is one more thing. I heard that Zeus will reward the best performer in the entire Olympus Games."

"Oh, I know that, what's wrong?"

Eros knew that this position was naturally reserved for him, and he would ascend to Mount Olympus directly in the name of reward.

However, things like using backdoors still need to be concealed and not made so obvious.

"No, what I mean is that your reward will be counted as part of the competition between gods, and Zeus will give humans a separate reward."

Prometheus said this, and her face showed some sadness again.

"It is said that the name of the reward is Pandora. It is a gift from the gods, but also a suffering bestowed by the gods."

“A gift that uses the perfect human form as a box, hiding all the beauty and pain together.”

"I am very worried that the pain bestowed by the gods will once again affect the people on earth and make them fall into disaster."

Her worried words did not reach Eros' ears, because Eros only heard the first half of the sentence.

"What did you say? What's her name?!"

"Hmm? Don't you know? Pandora? It means "gift of the gods", a human form made by Hephaestus himself."

Prometheus was a little confused. After all, Eros had been with Hephaestus for three years, so how could he not know about this?
She thought she was the last to know about this matter.

"Hephaestus gave her a perfect body, Aphrodite gave her bewitching charm, and Athena gave her wisdom."

"All the gods have given her gifts, and she will bring these gifts to mankind as part of the covenant between man and god."

Prometheus knew this, but he could not change anything.

Because everything in the world has a good side and a bad side.

Just like Ares, she symbolizes war, blood and killing, but she also symbolizes courage and strength.

She will bring wars and riots, and bring disasters to the world, but it is precisely because of these disasters that mankind will continue to move forward.

Even for a friendly goddess like Athena, wisdom can bring about conspiracy and backstabbing, which are two sides of the same coin.

Accept the blessings of the gods, and also accept the malice from the gods.

But Eros was not concerned about this. He was heartbroken that he might miss out on a beautiful woman. "Why didn't you warn me about this earlier?"

Pandora is no less famous than these goddesses, and as a collector, Eros naturally cannot miss her.

I originally thought that because of my butterfly effect, this character, who has unique significance in the entire Greek mythology, would never be born again.

But unexpectedly, in the end, Pandora was born just as the original design and was used for the same purpose.

According to legend, the first humans were only male, and it was the appearance of Pandora that brought about gender differences and divisions.

This also symbolizes the beginning of human divisions, as humans gradually divided from a harmonious whole into two sexes.

Afterwards, they were divided into more groups and could never unite again.

And because of Eros, the new humans made fewer mistakes and directly achieved Zeus' ideal state in one step.

Pandora, who symbolizes desire and brings the boundaries between good and evil and other things to the harmonious world, seems to have no meaning in her appearance.

So what did Zeus want to do by creating Pandora at this time?

Eros didn't quite understand, but he only knew that he must not miss the prototype of Eve, the mother of mankind.

"It's just a puppet. If you want it, why don't you ask Hephaestus to make one for you?"

Prometheus was a little puzzled. After all, Pandora might not even be considered a living being now. She was just a beautiful doll.

Although she has divine beauty, she also has animalistic appetite and sexual desire, as well as a sweet voice that imitates humans and tells lies.

Although he had the wisdom bestowed by Athena, he did not have the corresponding emotions. In Prometheus's eyes, he was just a talking puppet.

It would not be a problem for Hephaestus to make a few more puppets like this.

"No, you don't understand at all, that's Pandora!"

Eros said in a somewhat heated tone.

"Don't you realize the legend this name brings? No, I can't miss her."

Prometheus was a little confused, but she had never seen the gift from the gods, so she was not sure.

But she knew that Eros was a prophet who was better than her in some aspects, so he would not talk nonsense.

I never thought that a puppet made by the gods would be so important?
Prometheus fell into deep thought. Did she underestimate the growth potential of human beings?
Eros has already begun to think about how to get Pandora.

Ask Zeus directly for it? Not very likely, after all, if Zeus really wanted to give it to me, he would have given it to me long ago.

So Zeus wanted to give Pandora to humans, not to give her to Eros to play with.

Then Eros had to think of a way to get Pandora.

Hey, Zeus means to reward those who perform well in the competition, right?

Then wouldn’t it be good if his good daughter Minos took first place?
I think my good daughter would not mind giving these worldly possessions to him, even if we take a step back.

Even if other demigods received the rewards, as the ancestor of mankind, couldn't Eros enjoy the sacrifices offered by his descendants?
In short, beautiful beauties, especially Pandora, are definitely to Eros' liking.

Eros will not let anyone go.

　I remember I mentioned that the Greeks have always used philosophical methods to deconstruct myths, especially those led by Plato.

　　So Pandora is indeed very important in the human concept. She symbolizes human desires and the dark side [although she has a bit of a naughty meaning].

　　But the Greeks did not deny this dark side. Instead, they believed that this was what made humans different from gods and animals, which is the so-called human nature.
