Greek Mythology: God Of Fire And Craftsmen

Chapter 17 The Lady Justice

mount olympus

In front of the majestic and magnificent Temple of Justice.

Many burly armored warriors stood guard with spears and shields.

Although they are strong and tall, they are very small compared to the pillars on the side.

In front of the temple is a wide square.

A huge statue of the Lady Justice is erected in the center of the square.

Her eyes were covered with black strips.

This has two meanings. One is that everyone is equal before the law, and the other is that the judge uses the heart, not the eyes, and the goddess of justice will not be confused and deceived by appearances. Holding a scale in her left hand and a sharp sword in her right hand, she looks heroic, with an unspoken majesty that makes people daunting.

This moment.

The goddesses of the sea, Thetis and Hephaestus, pass by the square.

"It's a big statue, but the carving is too rough."

Hephaestus gives his own opinion on this.

I was still thinking in my heart, the statues have such majesty, so what kind of demeanor should the Lady Justice herself be? ?

As far as he knows, Lady Justice is Zeus' aunt and Zeus's second wife, the creator and guardian of order... her status is not ordinary.

Thetis leads Hephaestus into the Temple of Justice.

There were low growls and arguments inside.

Hephaestus saw two groups of people confronting each other in the hall, but he didn't dare to make any noise, his appearance was a bit funny.

"Enough! This is not a place for you to quarrel! My judgment is clear! Hirath! If you cannot abide by my judgment, then you will be subject to legal arbitration!"

At this time, a majestic female voice stopped them.

When the two groups of people heard this, they immediately fell silent, not daring to speak back.

A middle-aged man named Hailasi said with trepidation: "Yes, noble lady of justice! I am willing to accept the punishment! Compensate Zoya!"

"I am also willing to abide by the ruling of the Lady Justice! Accept the compensation from Hailas~"

The woman bowed respectfully.

"Back off."

said Lady Justice.

The two groups had no choice but to retreat, passing Thetis and Hephaestus.

Hephaestus looked up and saw a beautiful woman sitting on a throne deep in the temple.

She was wearing a spotless clean white robe, which set off her plump body.

With a beautiful appearance, his eyes and demeanor are full of majesty, and his every move gives people a heavy sense of oppression.

Although she looks much older than Thetis, the goddess of the sea, she has a unique style.

"Thetis, Hephaestus, ask Lady Justice to hold a trial!"

Thetis and Hephaestus approached and bowed together.

Themis naturally knew the goddess of the sea, but this is a temple, so it's not suitable for reminiscing about old times. She still sat upright and asked, "Thetis, what do you want me to judge? Hephaestus? Who is he?"

"Hephaestus, the son abandoned by Hera!"

Thetis replied instead of Hephaestus: "And! The Queen of God Hera also ordered her pet, the giant python skin and hired sirens! Murder Hephaestus! This is a murder case! Lady Justice!"

These words made Themis stare.

She looked at Hephaestus carefully, stood up and asked, "Hephaestus...are you Hera's son?"

The story of Hera's abandonment somehow spread throughout Mount Olympus.

The Lady Justice is naturally not ignorant of this.

"Yes, Lady Justice! On the day I was born, Hera threw me out of the Olympic Mountains. During this period of time, I lived on the mortal island of Lemnos. During this period, there were Sirens, Sky Ra, Charybdis, and Ecrousus intended to kill me. It was the goddess of the sea who saved my life."

Hephaestus replied.

Organized.

Themis frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "Okay! Hephaestus, I will find out whether all this is true, and judge this matter!"

Themis immediately issued an order, while sending people to search for evidence, and at the same time sent people to invite the queen Hera, the giant python Pitong, including the undead Charybdis and the river god Ecroueus.

....

It's been a long time.

The heavily armed justice warriors escorted two people.

One is a blue-haired woman with a heavy body, and the other is a huge and strong man with a beard.

It was the Maelstrom Monster and the River God.

"Charybdis has seen Justice."

"Ecerous has seen Justice."

The two walked to the throne and saluted respectfully.

The latter glanced at Thetis and Hephaestus standing on one side from the corner of his eye, and anger flashed in his eyes.

Although he had never met, he knew that the blond boy was probably the one who killed his daughter Siren.

"You stand by and wait quietly, the trial has not yet begun."

said Lady Justice.
