Mount Olympus is majestic and majestic, rising majestically among the mountains of Greece. In winter, the snow-capped peaks sparkle in the sun; in summer, the valleys are lined with green trees. Every day, when the sun rises from the east, the dawn first shines on the top of this sacred mountain; when the sun sets and the silver moon rises from the east, the glorious top of Mount Olympus is filled with moonlight. Sometimes, large chunks of dark clouds would drift towards the slopes of the mountain from all directions, making the valley dark, windy and pouring with rain.
Mount Olympus is a sacred and steep mountain. The gods chose this place to build their palaces and govern the world there. Above the sea of clouds, there are colonnades. In front of the colonnades are strange flowers growing. Grass garden. Strong winds never hit this paradise, and there were never storms over these rock-solid palaces. On the top of the mountain, the wind is always beautiful, the sun is shining brightly, and the flowers are fragrant.
On this glorious Mount Olympus, every great god has his own palace, and the most magnificent is the palace of Zeus, the king of gods. Every morning, when Aurora opened the gates of heaven with her rosy fingers and let out the sun, the gods on Mount Olympus would gather in the palace of their leader. Their supreme commander, Zeus, sat on a golden throne and received them in the largest hall of the palace.
On this day, Zeus was sitting on the throne, listening to the performance of the Muses. Suddenly he looked beside him and saw that the seat of Queen Hera was empty, so he asked the gods: "Where is Hera?" "
On the other side of his throne is the goddess Themis, the goddess of justice, who is in charge of the peace of the entire world. She is the aunt of the god king Zeus and his second wife. However, because of the queen Hera, she was Already separated from Zeus.
When the goddess Themis heard Zeus's question, she said expressionlessly: "Leto is about to give birth, and our queen may not be able to sit still."
Leto, the goddess of the dark night, is the cousin of the God King, and is also the god who has had the closest contact with the God King in recent times. But she was unlucky. At this time, the God King had already established a relationship with the God Queen Hera.
Hera was very dissatisfied with Leto being pregnant with Zeus's child, especially since the three goddesses of fate were certain that there was a boy and a girl in Leto's belly. It doesn't matter if it's a woman, after all, Themis had already helped Zeus give birth to the three goddesses of time and the three goddesses of fate before this. But Zeus doesn't have a son yet. The boy Leto gave birth to is the eldest son of Zeus. Hera herself had not yet given birth to a son for Zeus, which made Hera jealous and angry, and she made up her mind not to let him be born.
Queen Hera ordered that the earth should not give her a place to give birth. Poor Leto hid in Tibet and wandered around. Later, she finally found an unknown island in the Aegean Sea - Adros Island. This is the island where Leto's sister, the meteor goddess Asteria, was transformed. She couldn't bear to see her sister suffer, so she begged the sea god Poseidon to give her a place.
Despite this, Hera still ordered that the island was not allowed to take root and could only drift on the endless ocean.
Zeus summoned his envoy, the goddess Iris. This rainbow goddess can not only convey the thoughts of all living beings in the world to the God King, but also accurately convey Zeus's will. After understanding all the situation, Zeus immediately summoned the three goddesses of fate.
"Crosso, Leto is pregnant. I have a feeling that the child in her belly will bear the glory of Olympus and become a great god. Please help me see how fate is arranged?"
Clotho is the longest of the three goddesses of fate. She controls the future and the thread of life. She follows the arrangements of God and guides the lives of all people and gods. Even the god King Zeus cannot change it.
She closed her eyes tightly, then suddenly opened them, her eyes glowing green, and replied: "I see, the children of the sky and the night will become the embodiment of light, and there are two more mountains on the top of Olympus. The crown of the Lord God. They are the hope in the darkness, the unity of strength and beauty.”
When Zeus heard this, he was overjoyed. He took the big wine glass in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and said to Iris: "Go and tell Poseidon that my eldest son cannot be born on a floating island. Go and tell me." Mother Rhea, let her witness the birth of her eldest grandson.”
Rhea is the mother of Zeus and Hera. I believe that with her presence, Hera will not do anything detrimental. Thinking of this, Zeus said to Themis again: "Themis, Hera has always respected you, so please come over."
Iris and Themis had just gone out, and the sky that was originally day suddenly turned into night. In the night sky, a bright moon hung high. As the bright moon appeared, a burst of baby laughter came. The animals in the forest all looked towards the Aegean Sea and ran around with joy. A great god was born.
Zeus, who was sitting high on the throne, couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the laughter: "The moon blesses, and all things rejoice together. Let me call you Artemis."
Another seven days passed, and the moon had not disappeared, but the sun and stars also appeared in the sky at the same time. Under the rising sun, everything was peaceful and peaceful. The birds in the sky and the mermaids in the water all sang in unison. It's like the long dark night and the light again.
At this time, a loud cry came. With this cry, all the visions in the sky disappeared. Zeus said happily: "Come with the sun and bless all things. I will call you Apollo." Right." But he didn't notice that when all the visions were about to disappear, a starlight from the North Star in the north shone down along with the sunlight.
Zeus took out a pair of bows and arrows from the treasury. One was golden and the other was as white as snow. These were the treasures of the first god king, Uranus, the god of the sky. Just as he was about to personally give the pair of gold and silver bows and arrows to his newborn children, a god came to report that Hera was here.
Zeus hurriedly called Iris and asked her to send her bow and arrows.
"The golden bow and arrows, with their overwhelming arrows, will accompany Artemis throughout her life; the silver bows and arrows, there is nothing that it cannot hit, and it will become Apollo's right-hand man."
······
When Iris brought the things to the Nameless Island, he was stunned by the sight in front of him. At this time, Adros Island was crowded with many goddesses, including Rhea, the mother of the god king, Themis, the goddess of justice, Amphitrite, the wife of Poseidon, the sea god, and her many daughters, even the earth mother Gai. Yadu is here. What surprised Iris was that among the many goddesses, there were three children, not two.
When Goddess Leto saw Iris, she looked at the sky again, bit her lip, and said, "Iris, you came here. Do you have any explanation for me, the King of Gods?"
Iris hurriedly took out the bow and arrow: "By the command of the King of Gods, the golden bow and arrow are given to your daughter Artemis, and the silver bow and arrow are given to your eldest son Apollo."
At this time, not only Leto was surprised, but the other goddesses were also a little surprised, but when they compared the last child born with the first two, they suddenly understood. The first two children were named Artemis and Apollo by the God King. When they were born, they were born with extraordinary powers and extraordinary powers. Even many adult gods were not necessarily stronger than them. Their eldest sister Artemis, only seven days old, was able to use divine power to help her younger brother be born.
As for the third child, when he was born, only a ray of light from the North Star appeared, and he had almost no divine power. He was similar to an ordinary human child. No wonder Zeus was unwilling to give him a name.
Not only that, the newly born third child is not as handsome as his older brothers and sisters. His pupils and hair are black, and his nose is flat. He has neither cried nor laughed throughout his life. If it weren't for the gods present, who could tell at a glance that there was nothing wrong with this child, they would probably worry that he was a fool.
However, the goddess Leto liked this child very much. His hair color and eye color were the same as hers, just like her black robe, like the silent night.
When the lively banquet finally came to an end, a group of goddesses played around on the Unnamed Island for a few days and finally returned to silence.
······
Leto held Artemis in one hand and Apollo in the other, nursing them both. As for her third son, Adros, he was lying in a cradle at her feet, his black eyes bulging. Adros was not given a name by Zeus, so Leto named him Adros, the name of the nameless island at his feet, in gratitude to his sister Asteria, the goddess of meteors.
Adros looked at his brother and sister who were being held by their mother. They were indeed the future gods of Olympus. They were so good at eating when they were young. He couldn't compare with them. If you drink milk by yourself, you will be full after a few mouthfuls, but they seem to be able to drink it non-stop. Looking at their bodies, they are similar to human babies just a few months old, and they look like they are at least three years old.
After looking at it for a long time, Adros turned over and sighed in his heart: "What kind of luck did I have? When I woke up from sleep, I was in ancient Greece. It was not ancient Greece in history, but mythology. According to legend, he became the son of Zeus, the teddy king of heaven and earth, and the younger brother of the famous moon god Artemis and sun god Apollo. But this is okay, although Zeus is unreliable , but their thighs can still be hugged. But speaking of it, except for the fact that these gods like to mess around, the world of Greek mythology is generally relatively safe, and it shouldn't be difficult to save your life."
Artemis and Apollo seemed to have had enough, so Leto set them down and left them to their own devices. As soon as Apollo fell to the ground, he took out his bow and arrows and ran out. Artemis, on the other hand, hurriedly came to Adros and teased him with her fingers. Seeing this, Adros knew what she was doing, so he stopped playing and cried a few times.
The goddess Leto heard the sound and picked up Adros to stop Artemis from teasing him. Artemis pouted her mouth and her eyes were filled with tears. Seeing this, Leto had no choice but to pick her up and continue to let her tease Adros in his arms.
