Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 527 Common Hobbies Between Husband and Wife

It is not surprising that humans have reached their limits due to limited resources.

These are the only resources Crete has, unless Eros can come up with some technology from the future to improve productivity.

Or maybe Eros directly used his divine power to forcibly give this place more abundant resources to meet people's needs.

If it were the Eros of the past, he might have done these things, after all, he also had to eat and live.

But now he no longer needs to do this, and there is no need for it.

Even the goddess of wisdom, Athena, would not unconditionally spread all kinds of technology and knowledge everywhere.

Eros would not do that. He would rather watch humans discover new knowledge in order to satisfy their inner desires due to difficulties and challenges.

So he told Minos that there were some things she shouldn't do, and that after Crete had developed to its current limit, it would naturally change slowly.

In this process, Eros does not approve of using external forces to quickly complete this step.

"Although if you offer sacrifice directly to Poseidon, it will most likely solve this problem."

After expressing his different opinion from Minos, Eros still gave a simple and convenient solution.

As the god of the sea, Poseidon, as long as she wishes, the route to Crete will naturally be calm and there will be no more attacks from sea monsters.

However, Eros has always been against people's basic life being too closely connected with gods.

"Although Poseidon is not a bad-tempered god, her personality is changeable and unpredictable. Even if she agrees, she may regret it at any time."

"I don't think it would be any worse to let people be adventurous and carefully open up a route than to ask her for help."

Even though development and exploration require sacrifice, Eros believes the same.

Death is the cruel victory of the species over the individual. All great explorations and attempts are accompanied by sacrifice, which is an indispensable step.

If you don't know the pain of sword, how can you be afraid of sword and pursue stability and peace?
Only through death and sacrifice can we learn fear and caution.

What Eros said made sense. Minos, who was smarter than Eros, naturally understood what he meant.

It is enough for her to maintain her kingdom peacefully and keep the country stable as a king.

The times will develop, and people will continue to seek progress on their own amidst the difficulties of life. She only needs to be a wise and virtuous king.

This is a more appropriate evaluation made by Eros as a bystander, or in other words, from the perspective of God.

His rare seriousness made Minos lower his eyes slightly, as if he couldn't bear it.

After a moment of silence, Minos spoke.

"Father you are right, but you are the one praised as holy by the people, and I am not."

Minos looked at Eros with a firm look in his eyes.

"I am the king of Crete, so I will naturally fulfill my duties as a king and make the people of this country live a better life."

"Even if it's wrong from God's perspective, I want to do it."

Hearing his usually well-behaved daughter utter such rebellious words, Eros smiled as if he had known it would happen.

"If you want to do it, then do it."

Eros did not give much advice to Minos about his decision.

Because there is no need. Just as humans need sacrifice and death to be warned, children also need failure to learn some lessons.

Although Minos was already very old, she was still regarded by Eros as an immature child. It was not because of her age, but because she was still confined to her human identity and could not truly mature.

But this is also the fun of raising children. Eros did not rush things, but let his children do whatever they wanted.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I originally wanted to invite you to come to my place to rest and relax, but why are we talking about these things?"

Minos let out a light breath, put away the sea chart in front of him, and put the matter aside for the time being.

"I have already told Pasiphae about your arrival, father. She should have prepared lunch for you."

When Eros heard the name Pasiphae from Minos, he subconsciously thought of the rebellious little girl.

Come to think of it, she has been married to Minos for so long, and I wonder if her personality has improved.

"By the way, do you want to call my little brother to come with us?"

Minos asked, suddenly remembering Perseus.

"No, I haven't told him my true identity yet. You can meet him later."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Family dinners are bound to involve talking about some trivial matters, and if Perseus is brought along, it would be like exploding in front of everyone.

Minos nodded in agreement, she had no experience getting along with her brothers and sisters.

However, when he arrived at the family dinner and met Pasiphae, Eros regretted not bringing Perseus with him.

"Your Majesty, the Little God of Love, I didn't expect that you would be here. This is our second meeting, right? Right?"

Although she was already married, perhaps it was because her marriage with Minos was not a normal marriage.

Even after all this time, Pasiphae still looked the same as she did then, although she had shed her rebellious outfit and put on a gentle long dress.

But the expression on Pasiphae's face told Eros that she had not changed at all.

As soon as they met, she approached Eros with excessive enthusiasm, so enthusiastic that it was a little over the line.

Her long flaxen hair fell on Eros's arm. As Minos' partner, Pasiphae was obviously too close.

If other goddesses were at this dangerous distance, they would have moved on to the next step by now.

But this is his daughter's wife. Although it sounds a bit strange, there is no doubt about it.

"Pasiphae, be careful not to embarrass your father."

When Eros felt he was in trouble, Minos spoke up at the right time to rescue him.

Pasiphae pouted slightly, with a look of reluctance on her face, but under the gaze of Minos, she obediently let go of Eros' hand.

"It seems like you guys have a pretty good relationship."

Eros said with emotion as he finally regained his freedom.

He was also worried that in this kind of arranged marriage, both parties would be unhappy in the end.

"Well, that's natural. After all, we two have the same hobby~"

It was Pasiphae who answered Eros's words.

She made a playful gesture to Minos, and a blush appeared on Minos' usually calm face.

Common hobbies? Yes, I guess.
