Dear Broom Knight

The more Lowry thought about it, the more he felt it was her.

Sometimes, you don't need to make many assumptions; the first impression that pops into your head, the mark that you can't shake off, should be the truth.

Especially since he had just gone through the history of the Greek pantheon in his mind.

If you skip over some of the unpleasant scenes and only focus on the key events, that history can quickly shrink from a huge package that would burst a paid cloud storage account to a small package that a free cloud account can handle.

Anyway, Lowry wasn't particularly interested in those scenes.

After all, their descendants have always been very bold in their portrayals, to the point of making normal people feel disgusted.

Then Lowry suddenly remembered the book on Greek mythology he had read, which mentioned that Hermes tricked Persephone into eating pomegranate seeds from the underworld, forcing her to stay with Hades for four months every year.

It even claimed that her and Hades' son was conceived when Zeus, disguised as Hades in the form of a donkey, tricked her…

After Lowry finished reading that much-abridged book of myths and did a little bit of experimenting, he made a clean decision: reject all Greek mythology artwork.

Of course, if the money was enough to make him abandon his principles, there could be exceptions.

He was a serious artist who would try his best to make the characters in his paintings conform to their established personalities… Studying Greek mythology too much would definitely be a huge detriment to his already not-so-bright brain.

After all, he couldn't understand or agree with the nature of those gods that he had researched.

The Greek gods he painted… it seemed only Athena and the Moon Goddess were still watchable.

The others had no divinity at all, only wickedness.

Even the Lord of Hell was more dignified than them.

Anyway, those who could accept this and still pay him a high price to paint them were not serious people, and Lowry felt at ease earning this money to compensate for his disgust.

But in this world, the stories he saw had been somewhat corrected… the dragon's inherited memories were really a good thing.

Especially for someone like him, whose memories were passed down in an orderly fashion, starting from the time when Paradise Mountain had not yet been occupied by the God of Order.

Although the Greek pantheon was the oldest, it didn't go back that far.

So, the relevant memories were still quite clear.

The Greek pantheon was still very crazy, but at least, it wasn't a case of Zeus doing whatever he wanted.

Zeus wasn't much different; besides the donkey thing, there wasn't much to say.

But like Poseidon, besides being a bit stupid and constantly being used and deceived, and not being a good person himself… well, everything was bad in a normal way.

And Hades, Persephone, and their son, whose divine duty was shadows, were indeed a normal family.

They didn't give that unlucky child a different father.

Honestly, this was the adaptation that Lowry could least accept… He knew that Greece had a serious obsession with fertility for various reasons.

But really, it shouldn't be to this extent!

Zeus's one-night stands could produce children.

Hades toiling day and night could only raise children for his brothers… it was simply nonsense!

Moreover, given the personality Hades displayed, how could he accept such a child bearing the name of the God of the Underworld?

Don't say he could give birth; even if he really didn't have the ability to reproduce, he wouldn't accept this outcome.

The Greek pantheon was hereditary… If something really happened to Hades, his son would inherit his position as King of the Underworld!

How could Hades let Zeus's son take over his throne!

However, after Persephone, whom he and Demeter had painstakingly raised, became a charming, beautiful, and lovely girl, she was targeted by Zeus again.

Hermes, as Zeus's loyal lackey, even if he didn't help the tyrant, couldn't openly resist.

Regardless of whether Hermes played any tricks, the final result was: Persephone was snatched away by Hades while playing on the earth.

Hermes later often took Persephone to play on the ground, enjoying the beauty of spring, allowing Demeter, the goddess who cared about Persephone's growth, to reunite with her beloved daughter… while also acting as a bodyguard to prevent Zeus from disturbing them.

This was his promise to Hades.

Otherwise, how would the King of the Underworld dare to let his wife leave his protective circle!

Although he could retaliate afterward, who wouldn't be upset by being bitten by something dirty!

Fortunately, although Zeus was still so shameless, he still valued Hermes, his loyal son, very much and didn't do anything excessive.

Moreover, at that time, he was immersed in the infatuation with human beauties, creating a large number of demigod sons; even if he occasionally still coveted Persephone, whom he hadn't obtained, it wasn't to the point of being obsessed and having to get her at all costs.

And Hades wasn't the wooden background character in the myths.

He indeed didn't have a cheerful personality, and his style was relatively tough and cold.

But people like Lowry could actually understand why he became like this.

A grumpy and vicious father, a biased and selfish mother.

Two younger brothers, one stupid and cowardly, one treacherous and lecherous.

And a him who hid and could only survive in the shadows.

Then, although there were many sisters who could exist openly and each had their own charm, in essence, they all valued Zeus, who was good at disguising himself, more.

The young Zeus was definitely an Oscar-worthy actor.

Otherwise, Hera, the queen who helped Zeus obtain the throne of the King of Heaven, wouldn't have been stupid enough to give everything if she had seen Zeus's lustful, fickle, and treacherous nature early on.

Zeus was ultimately able to achieve final victory thanks to two women: his mother and Hera.

He later became so strong also because of the divine duty and power bound to Mount Olympus… Anyone who sits on that throne of the gods can have this power.

After taking the throne, he sent his own mother to enjoy her old age, and by the way, treated his promise of loyalty to Hera like a fart.

At that time, he was Mount Olympus, so Zeus's promises could be unbound to the greatest extent.

For example, those promises to love Hera wholeheartedly eventually became that as long as Hera was willing, the position of queen would always belong to her.

However, if all Hera wanted was this, why would she choose Zeus!

Marrying any brother, she could become the queen through her own efforts.

However, it was too late for Hera to regret it at that time.

Although her madness was terrifying and she liked to put her hatred on some victims, looking majestic… but if one day she could go back to the past, she would definitely choose Poseidon.

Hades was definitely out of the question; he was too real, very self-centered from the beginning, dictatorial and possessive, not interested in sharing his power with any goddess, and his brain was good enough, so he wouldn't listen to Hera's command because of ambition.

The ambitious Hera could only choose between Poseidon and Zeus… So, between an obedient little brother and a stupid fool who could be controlled by her, Hera chose someone who could talk.

Although it eventually proved that she was wrong.

But at least as queen, Hera did control some of the power that only the gods had originally.

That was something that the previous two queens had never been able to obtain… even if they had also killed their husbands.

Zeus was actually not so willing either. He had also been trying to take back those privileges that he had ceded to Hera when he took the throne using various methods.

But who made his own strength not strong enough!

He was far worse than his father god, who dared to personally commit patricide.

However, Hera would rather let the whole world think she was crazy than give up a bit of her own power in order to win back Zeus's heart.

After all, when she became queen, she swore that no matter what happened, she would always love Zeus.

As long as Mount Olympus didn't collapse, her oath wouldn't end.

Hera had no way to choose to ignore everything; she had to insist on her love for Zeus… even raising gigolos had to be under the pretext of wanting to make Zeus jealous.

Her madness was indeed a bit selfish and vicious, but… man dies for wealth, and birds die for food; the gods are the same.

Of course, there was nothing to pity her for.

Her vicious and greedy nature destined her to take this path.

But Zeus's disguise was really successful; not only Hera, but also her sisters, including their mother, believed that Zeus was the new god who brought them a better life.

Even though Hades was the strongest.

The later Hades and Poseidon never reached out to those sisters, actually because of those past grievances… Although they didn't publicly mock them like Poseidon, Hades's disdain was also quite obvious.

Lowry could actually feel that Hades's final abandonment of the fight for the throne of the gods and his straightforward choice to enter the Underworld was definitely what he himself wanted.

In the Underworld, he could only receive the people he wanted to see and didn't need to solve those messy problems.

There was nothing wrong with this either.

Many otaku also had ambitions at the beginning, but the choice to stay at home was more suitable.

If he fought to the death to snatch the throne of the gods from his biased mother's hands… with Hades's combat power, although it would be difficult, it wasn't necessarily impossible.

Tsk ~ Maybe Mount Olympus wouldn't be as chaotic and crumbling as in the story, but Hades probably wouldn't have a single day of peace.

Just wiping Zeus's ass would take half his life.

Although in that case, some powerful and profound goddesses might have the confidence to reject that old lecherous donkey, Zeus would definitely develop downwards.

At that time, Mount Olympus would probably be occupied by Zeus's children from various backgrounds.
