Infinite Journey From Hogwarts

Chapter 649 Prometheus

After Cedric left the banquet, he came to the mortal Greek city-state and walked into the temple of Athena.

After a while, Athena returned to the temple wearing a golden armor.

"Aphrodite, that big-chested, brainless fool."

The golden apple left by the goddess of strife represented the "most beautiful person" among the gods, and naturally included the powerful priesthood of [beauty].

Aphrodite, as the current twelve great Olympian gods, has powerful divine power. Of course, she knows that this golden apple hides Zeus' calculations. After all, the innate spirit of the golden apple tree belongs to Zeus. Waiting for divine power, it is not easy to obtain this precious fruit.

But for the priesthood of [beauty], Aphrodite still chose to stand by Zeus, helping him set up a murderous situation, and wipe out Achilles' vitality.

"Where's Hera?" Cedric asked.

In fact, in this Trojan War, Zeus well balanced the interests of multiple parties. For example, although Athena and Hera lost Achilles, an important chess piece, at the same time, the Greek coalition forces wiped out the city of Troy and won the final victory. , They got unparalleled luck.

So Hera, the "divine queen who shares power equally with Zeus", after learning that she and others want to overthrow Zeus, will she stand on Achilles' side as decisively as before? This is now to be considered. first question.

Athena shook her head slightly, "You can't pin your hopes on Hera. Although the destruction of the previous god kings all originated from the god queen, the facts have proved that after losing the god king, the god queen is nothing. She is now We have been able to guess some of our goals, but we are still waiting to see, after all, you are involved in the killing of the gods, and no one dares to mess around, even if she is the queen of the gods."

Having said that, Athena chuckled and said that the ally she found is really interesting now. Even if she just entered the game, her existence is enough to deter most powerful gods.

"Where is that Prometheus? Will he help us?"

Prometheus in Greek mythology has several important identities, the Titan god, the creator of mankind, and the enemy of Zeus.

First of all, the first identity means that Prometheus will not be accepted by the current Olympus pantheon under the leadership of Zeus. After all, Zeus obtained the authority only after overthrowing the rule of the Titan pantheon. opposition.

The second identity represents that Prometheus possesses extremely powerful power and is also an ally of Athena. After all, when Prometheus created humans, he only endowed humans with various instincts and bodies of beasts. Athena The breath and wisdom of the gods collected helped Prometheus complete his final mission.

According to the Eastern dialect, Prometheus owed Athena a karma for enlightenment.

The origin of the third identity also originated from human beings. In the Greek mythology system, there are two reasons why there is no close human-god belief system like the DND universe.

The source of the blood of all the gods in Greek mythology comes from Chaos, the God of Chaos. That is to say, the true God can support his throne from two aspects. The second is to have a priesthood and gain the faith of mortals.

Leaving aside the first aspect, getting more powerful clergy and more faith is almost the instinct of a true god.

But Prometheus gave Zeus another trick in this regard.

When deciding how much humans should offer to the true god, Prometheus asked humans to divide a cow into two parts, one part is the skeleton, the other part is the meat, both parts are wrapped in cowhide, and dedicated to Zeus for his choice.

The part of the skeleton wrapped in cowhide is naturally much larger than the other part, so Zeus chose the former, which also means that humans can leave more things for themselves when offering sacrifices.

So in Greek mythology, although everyone believes in the true god, they retain more autonomy. This is the right that Prometheus helped mankind obtain in the dedication of the faith.

So Zeus and the Titan god became sworn enemies.

"He disappeared."

Athena's voice was heavy, and a powerful ally disappeared, which naturally represented a significant weakening of her strength.

"when?"

Cedric frowned and asked, if it was not long ago, then the matter would have been serious, because it meant that Zeus could easily kill a 'creator of mankind'.

Athena saw Cedric's concern and explained, "Although this is almost certainly Zeus' layout, it didn't happen not long ago."

"Remember the Twelve Trials of Hercules back then? In the trial of obtaining the golden apples, I designed Hercules, the man-destined son of God, to rescue Puro who was bound by the gods on the Caucasus Mountains. Metheus, but after Prometheus was rescued, his whereabouts were unknown, and I should have been tricked by Zeus at that time."

When Cedric heard Athena's words, the infinite brilliance of thinking in the back of his head began to deduce the past and future.

Prometheus helped mankind gain more freedom of belief and sacrifice, which not only offended Zeus, but also offended most of the gods in this universe.

So Zeus decided to do whatever he could, and together with the gods decided not to give fire to humans. As a last resort, Prometheus could only forcibly steal the fire, which naturally offended all the true gods. His enemies are tied to the Caucasus Mountains, tormenting them day by day without ceasing.

At the same time, they also negotiated with the gods and lowered the Pandora's box as a punishment for mankind, which not only destroyed the golden race created by the first generation of Prometheus and Athena, but also divided up with the gods Prometheus's existence among mankind. faith in.

Judging from the above layout, Cedric had to sigh that it was really not a coincidence that Zeus was able to sit on the position of God King. Among the gods, it can also be ranked in the top fifteen.

What made Cedric even more concerned was what Athena had just said.

In Greek mythology, there are two sons of great fortune.

One is Hercules and the other is Achilles.

Zeus wanted to use Hercules to win the war with Gaia, the ancient mother goddess, so he needed to help Hercules complete the legendary twelve trials. Accumulated an unbelievable amount of luck that even the gods could hardly resist.

In this process, Athena took advantage of Hercules, the son of luck, to rescue Prometheus, who was cursed by the gods, and he was considered a top player.

But now it seems that Zeus can really say in front of Athena, your father is still your father.

The rescued Prometheus finally fell into the layout of Zeus and disappeared.
