Greek Mythology: I Opened A Treasure Chest At Olympus

Chapter 21: The Queen's Invitation (The Fifth)

When he returned to the banquet, Apollo was still full of strangeness.

What did Athena mean just now?

Hecate suddenly approached him and said suspiciously, "Why do you have a scent on your body? Could it be that you have a tryst with some goddess?"

"Does the goddess really exist, is there a tryst... the place is really dark..." Apollo thought to himself.

With a bright smile on his face: "Just for a trip, nothing else happened here, right?"

Hecate shook his head and said, "It's still the same, since His Majesty Poseidon mentioned Antaeus, the atmosphere has been weird."

Apollo asked again, "Where's Astria?"

"She was called by Goddess Amphitrite to chat, and she wanted to join us, but I didn't agree with you when you weren't there," Hecate said.

Apollo turned his attention to where Amphitrite was, and she was surrounded by many gods at the moment.

"Hey, Athena went there too." Apollo's expression moved.

...

The banquet went very smoothly, and the curtain slowly came to an end while many gods were eating and drinking carnivally.

Apollo has been paying attention to the movements of Amphitrite and Poseidon, and found that both are normal.

With the passage of time, the gods in Amphitrite first increased and then dispersed.

Poseidon, on the other hand, sat on the throne from beginning to end, holding the son of the earth mother, motionless.

Just when Apollo thought everything was over, Astraea, who came back, said to him, "Goddess Amphitrite invites you and Hecate to go to her bedroom."

Apollo and Hecate looked at each other and followed Astraea to an elegant palace.

Amphitrite changed out of the solemn dress at the banquet, put on a short jacket, and sat with her son Terry.

Seeing Apollo and Hecate coming, she smiled and said, "Come on, sit down."

After the two sat down, Amphitrite asked kindly, "How did you feel at the banquet today?"

Apollo replied: "It's very lively."

"Is it just lively..." Amphitrite's tone suddenly turned cold, and she said quietly, "Indeed, there is really nothing else but liveliness."

Noticing the change in his mother's voice, Prince Triton bowed his head timidly.

Seeing his reaction, Amphitrite sighed, her eyes fixed on Apollo and Hecate.

"Do you know why I want to see you at the end? You are all excellent gods and will be the pillars of the future divine court."

Amphitrite said in a serious tone.

Without waiting for the two of Apollo to speak, she continued:

"As a person, I am actually very mediocre in other aspects, but I am very good at looking at people, even above my sister who is famous for her wisdom."

"At the beginning, I and her were attracted to Poseidon and Zeus respectively. Later, Zeus's achievements were indeed higher than Poseidon, but my sister did not have the opportunity to enjoy the return on investment, and I have been sitting firmly behind the sea. s position."

Amphitrite smiled complacently.

Of course Apollo knew who she was talking about as her sister, Metis, Athena's mother.

This former goddess of wisdom was the first deity who took a fancy to Zeus.

First, he helped Zeus rescue several brothers, and later he helped Zeus win the Titan war and became the king of the gods.

Originally, she would be the queen of the gods for granted, but because of a prophecy, she was swallowed by her beloved husband.

It can be said that the end is bleak, the wise man has a short life, and the beauty is short of life.

In contrast, the less prominent younger sister, Amphitrite, reaped better returns.

"But now my position is very embarrassing..." Amphitrite suddenly stood up, her glamorous cheeks like a deep well.

Between Apollo and Hecate, she said faintly: "After today, you should all know that His Majesty the Sea Emperor has received the support of Mother Earth, and he will start the war against my father and Pontos to complete the unification of the ocean. ."

Although there has been speculation for a long time, I really heard the news.

Apollo and Hecate were still a little shocked.

The primitive sea god Pontos and the ocean lord Okeanos were both the previous generation ocean lords, powerful and powerful.

Poseidon has always relied on the support of Olympus, plus some marriages, to barely occupy one-third of the ocean.

And now if he really wants to complete the unification of the ocean, he will bring Pontos and Okeanos under his command.

Even Zeus, who sits high in Olympus, will probably tremble at this brother.

"This is of course a crucial step for Neptune, but for me it is a step that shakes the foundation."

"Although my relationship with my father and brother is not good, the reason why I can sit firmly in my current position is that I was born in the ocean gods. Once the war starts, my situation is the most embarrassing."

Amphitrite's face was calm, and she stared at the two young gods in front of her.

"So I need to deal with it early. That day is actually a little far away. It will probably be after Antaeus grows up, so I found you..."

She smiled: "Hecate, you have been promoted to the main god, plus Goddess Nyx values ​​you, appointed as the deputy king of the underworld, and soon you will become the goddess who dominates the situation in the underworld."

"As for you, Apollo, I believe that within a hundred years, you will be able to ascend to Olympus, hold high the position of the main god, become a great god not inferior to Athena, and affect the situation of Olympus."

"So I hope to unite with you to form a powerful alliance that can affect Olympus, Hades and the ocean!"

The straightforward and unabashed words surprised both Apollo and Hecate.

Especially Apollo.

Although he is also very confident in himself, it will not take long to become one of the most powerful gods.

But no matter how you look at it now, he is an insignificant figure.

Seeing the silence of the two, Amphitrite still smiled:

"The cooperation between us is by no means the only beneficiary. At least now I can help Apollo and your sister return to Olympus."

Hearing this condition, Apollo smiled faintly.

Looking at Hecate next to him, he found that the latter was looking at him with questioning eyes.

It seemed that as long as she made up her mind, she would agree.

Amphitrite also noticed this, and looked at Apollo quietly.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly calmed down.

Under Amphitrite's gaze, Apollo raised his head: "Can I ask you a question?"

"what is the problem?"

"Have you also invited the goddess Athena?"

Hearing this name, Amphitrite suddenly laughed and nodded lightly: "Of course, she is my sister's daughter..."

"Then I hope everyone's cooperation in the future will be very pleasant." Apollo stood up with a light smile.
