HP Approaches the Magic World

Who hasn’t heard of Prometheus?

In the battle between the Titans led by Zeus and Cronus, although he was a descendant of the Titans, he sided with the new Olympus gods, so he was appreciated by Zeus and stayed in Olympus.

In Greek mythology, humans were created by the Titan god Prometheus.

He also acted as a teacher for mankind. He taught mankind everything that was useful to mankind and could make mankind satisfied and happy. Similarly, people also thanked him and repaid him with love and loyalty. But Zeus, the supreme leader of the gods,

But he asked mankind to worship him and to give him the best things. When Prometheus defended mankind, he offended Zeus.

As punishment, Zeus refused to give mankind the last thing they needed to complete their civilization: fire.

But the astute Prometheus immediately figured out a way to remedy this defect. He picked a branch of woody fennel and walked to the sun chariot. When it passed by the sky, he stretched the branch into its flame until

Branches burn.

He descended to the earth with this fire and brought it to humans. Immediately the first pillars of jungle fire rose to the sky. Zeus was furious. When he saw the flames rising from among humans, and the fire light shot far and wide, this

Made his soul tingle.

So Zeus was furious and ordered Vulcan to give Prometheus the severest punishment.

But the fire god Hephaestus admired Prometheus very much and said to him quietly: "As long as you admit your mistake to Zeus and return the fire, I will definitely ask Zeus to forgive you."

Prometheus shook his head and said firmly: "What's wrong with benefiting mankind! I can endure all kinds of pain, but I will never admit my mistakes, let alone return the fire!"

The god of fire did not dare to disobey Zeus's order, so he and his two servants used violence and force to take Prometheus to the Caucasus Mountains and tied him to a steep cliff with an iron chain that could never be broken.

He could not sleep, his tired knees could not bend, and there was a diamond nail nailed on his heaving chest. He endured hunger, wind and sun.

In addition, Zeus sent an eagle to eat Prometheus's liver every day. The liver was eaten during the day, but it would grow back at night. In this way, the pain suffered by Prometheus would be endless.

Despite this, Prometheus still did not give in. So, day after day, year after year. Until the famous Hercules shot the condor with an arrow, smashed the iron chain with a stone, and killed him.

Until he was rescued, he endured indescribable pain and torture.

…

"The story is good, but it's too one-sided."

Grindelwald nodded frequently when listening to Jon telling the story of Prometheus, but after he finished speaking, he showed other meanings.

"In the Greek pantheon, Prometheus is the god of foresight. His wife only shared his authority, and thus got the name of the goddess of foresight."

Since it involves the relationship between gods, Grindelwald has to say one more thing.

As a legendary wizard who can connect to the deep blue sea, part of his understanding of gods comes from the records in the deep blue sea.

These records are very valuable. Although they are not necessarily interesting, they are better than being true.

Ancient Greek civilization is one of the origins of the entire Western civilization, but being able to be the origin among many civilizations proves that they are not just the origin.

There must have been other actions on their part that put them in this position of origin.

The so-called origin refers to the civilization that existed and continued before the wizarding civilization. Mr. Castney's method of stealing knowledge from the gods coincides with the behavior of Prometheus.

"So, Mr. Castney is actually a believer in God."

"If you insist on saying it that way, then I don't think there's anything wrong with it. However, there is another meaning."

Grindelwald lowered his head and asked:

"Senior Helga, have I told you about the God War before?"

Jon tried his best to think about it, and then nodded.

"Indeed, he said a little bit, but Ancestor Helga didn't say much."

The battle between gods that Helga told him was a secret fight between the ancient Greek and Roman gods. But that incident was not really a battle between gods, it could only be described as a crushing one.

Moreover, in the timeline, in the late ancient Roman period, the ancient Greek pantheon withdrew from the stage and turned to face mankind in the form of the ancient Roman pantheon.

"Yes, what I'm talking about is the battle between gods at that time."

Grindelwald was very satisfied with Jon's moral behavior: "You are very familiar with history, so you should know that at the end of the Dark Ages, when the ancient Egyptian pantheon was declining, something happened at the same time."

Of course Jon knew about this matter, because he had specifically learned about it before.

It was a war between the Roman Empire and ancient Egypt.

This war was actually fruitless, but everyone knew that the victory was the ancient Roman side, while Egypt never recovered, and eventually even the entire ethnic group perished.

But what does this have to do with wizards?

During the time of the accident in ancient Egypt, the wizarding system had not yet developed and was struggling to survive under the pressure of the Age of Gods.

"How could it not be related?"

Grindelwald said: "The ancient Greek myths are not over, they are just hidden behind the scenes, and you have to know that the god lord of a pantheon is not immortal, so guess who took over after the death of Zeus, the god lord at that time.

Woolen cloth?"

Will the God Lord also die?

Such a question came to Jon's mind, because in every myth, there was no clear record of the death of the God Lord. Apart from the complete destruction of the God system, he didn't know much about anything else.

But there is still some basic common sense. As the most important being known as the immortal god, the Lord God has the power to control the life and death of other people. Naturally, he also has life power that exceeds that of ordinary gods.

Unless they encounter Ragnarok.

etc.

After the end of the Age of Gods, isn't the end of the Dark Age...the age of Ragnarok?

Seeing the look of understanding on Jon's face, Grindelwald also nodded.

He was indeed right. This child did have spiritual strength that was beyond ordinary people, and he was also quite good at understanding. He could at least be able to do a little bit of it.

As for how much he can think, that is not something Grindelwald can control.

He is now waiting for Jon to give a result, and then make corrections based on the result given by Jon.
