Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 8 The Target is the Sea

"Hey!"

As the crude stone axe was swung, the trees fell down with a loud bang.

The strong people carried the trees at great speed and did not seem to feel any effort at all.

In fact, Eros still underestimated these humans of the Silver Age.

Their physiques were much stronger than those of later generations, and each of them was a model of a White Sox athlete without any training.

After Eros ignited the flames of wisdom and desire for them, their lives changed dramatically in this half month.

Cut down trees and build houses; capture animals for domestication and cultivate fields.
However, in just half a month, their living conditions have changed dramatically.

We leaped quickly from the primitive age to the Stone Age.

They are not lazy, nor are they really stupid.

Living in a comfortable environment for a long time without comparison and desire has also made them lose motivation and ability to think.

But under the guidance of Eros, they rekindled this motivation.

After tasting the delicacies brought by Eros, the animal organs that were once full of fat now seemed fishy and unpalatable.

After experiencing more comfortable beds and quilts filled with reeds, I could no longer bear the original life of using the sky as the quilt and the ground as the bed.

And when one person does this, comparison gradually arises.

The desire to eat better and live better will then generate motivation.

There is no need for Eros to provide any guidance; they will continue to explore on their own initiative.

Thanks to the efforts of these people, Eros finally got what he wanted.

Pioneer

You are the beacon of human civilization, the light of civilization, guiding their development.

Effect: Your words are more persuasive, and you can forcibly recruit humans to serve you.

When Eros saw this ability, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. What is the Light of Western Liberty?

It's funny, but it's also practical.

This group of primitive people had already been worshipping Eros, and this achievement had added to the effect.

It's a pity that this is mythical ancient Greece, otherwise Eros could try playing a real-life Civilization 6.

No need to point out democracy and republic, because I am Rome! Just start conquering!
However, this idea can only be thought of in the mind. It is impossible to ask Eros to take out so many technology trees.

He spent several years thinking about these things that are closely related to life.

In comparison, it is better to find a goddess to hold on to, which is much simpler and more comfortable.

Eros thought Artemis was a pretty good person, and during this period he also took the time to ask Apollo a lot about this goddess of hunting.

"Eros, are you so interested in my sister?"

Apollo put down the harp in his hand helplessly, with a hint of anger in his tone.

Even though she was right in front of him, he didn't think about getting to know her, but instead tried to get to know other goddesses.

Even though that was her sister, it was still really frustrating.

"Haha, admiration, just admiration."

Eros laughed dryly and fooled away.

How could he dare to have a deep conversation with Apollo? He couldn't even begin to conquer Apollo, but he could already feel Apollo's enthusiasm for him.

If we have a deep chat about this, I'm afraid he will really stick to me and won't let me go until I die.

There are many legends about Apollo, but one common trait is his infatuation. He once cried bitterly over the death of his male lover and used his blood to cultivate a flower, the so-called hyacinth.

I once madly pursued a woman who didn't love me, and even if she turned into a laurel tree, I was still obsessed with her.

I am fickle ≠ I don’t love purely!

At this point, Eros felt that he could learn a thing from Apollo.

But the prerequisite is that Apollo should stop coveting his body, he is afraid.

Seeing that Eros always had a strange sense of alienation towards him, Apollo was no longer surprised, and just lowered his head with some regret.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Are you asking them to build a ship?"

The two men's eyes turned to the beach, where there was a huge tree and some people were hollowing it out.

"Well, let's make a simple canoe."

Eros didn't know how to build a boat, but making a canoe was not difficult, as long as there were big enough trees.

With the blessing of the pioneer's achievements, he easily recruited most people to help him with his work.

It feels good not to have to do the work myself.

Is this the beauty of being a beacon of civilization?
Apollo looked at the ship that was gradually taking shape, and his golden eyelashes trembled slightly.

"You want to go to sea?"

Although Eros said a lot of nonsense when he was fooling those primitive people.

Things like exploration, understanding the world, becoming the Pirate King, etc.

But Apollo knew that this ship was prepared by Eros for him.

"Let me warn you first. Don't think you can avoid the shaking of the earth by going out to sea."

"The waves will connect heaven and earth and swallow up everything in this world."

He described to Eros the doomsday state at the end of that era, but this time it was not like the Golden Age, which ended in a quiet eternal sleep.

The new God-King will use simple and direct violence to announce his ascent to the top to the world.

In a sense, this is also a deterrent to the second generation of Titans and their descendants.

Prove to them that Zeus did not rely on tricks to defeat Cronus, but was a truly great and almighty god king.

Olympus has experienced two generations of patricide in succession, and many pantheons have been mixed together, with relationships as chaotic as a palace drama.

For example, in the case of dominance over the ocean, Gaia, the primordial god, gave birth to Pontus, the first god of the sea.

It sounds awesome, but in reality it might be defeated before it even takes office.

The person who blew it up was the Titan Oceanus, the god of the ocean and river, born to Gaia and Uranus in the pantheon.

But in Homer's epic, Oceanus and his wife Thesis are primordial gods no less important than Gaia, and are a pair of creator gods.

They viewed the universe as a river that connected from beginning to end and created the entire Oceanus pantheon, but were later defeated by Gaia and chose to integrate into it.

And Pontus naturally became the sacrifice for his ascension to the throne, and also proved his dominance over the ocean.

Now, Zeus gave the ocean to Poseidon and the underworld to Hades.

This means you have to face Oceanus and his wife, and Nyx and her husband, the goddess of night, and they will have a fight.

However, these things are still far away from Eros. He is not the queen of heaven, so why should he worry about them?
"However, although you can't hide at sea, aren't there many gods on the sea?"

Eros looked at the ship that was gradually taking shape and smiled with satisfaction.
