Hercules completed the task issued by the goddess Zeus and presented Queen Hippolyta's girdle at the feet of King Eurystheus. Eurystheus did not let him rest, and immediately sent him to complete the problem of Zeus, the king of the gods, and bring back Geryon's cattle.
Geryon was a giant who lived on the island of Eritsia in the Gulf of Gadira. He had a herd of brown and red cattle, which were guarded for him by another giant and a two-headed hound. He is as tall as a mountain, with three heads and six arms, three bodies, and six legs. No human in the world dares to fight him.
The two-headed hound is not an ordinary thing. It is also the son of Typhon, but it was captured by the Queen Hera. Like his three-headed dog brother, this two-headed dog was very good at talking and pleasing its owner. Soon after, it was given by Hera to her daughter, Enio, the wife of Ares, the god of war.
Enio followed the orders of her father Zeus and sent the dog as part of Hercules' mission.
Hercules knew that completing this arduous task required careful preparation, because Geryon's father was a well-known rich man in the world. His nickname was "The Golden Sword" and he was the king of Berea in Italy. .
In addition to Geryon, he also had three tall and brave sons, each of whom commanded a mighty and capable army.
But Hercules was not daunted by the task, and he raised an army as before, gathering on the island of Crete those whom he had rescued from the mouths of wild beasts, and then landed in Libya by ship.
Here he met the willful god Antaeus, the son of Poseidon and Gaia, the king of the sea.
After Antaeus was taught a lesson by Adros and brought back to the sea by the goddess of the Earth Mother, Poseidon, the king of the sea, tried his best to extinguish the sun's fire on his lips.
As the King of the Sea, Poseidon was worried that he would cause trouble again, so he sent him to Libya, a place on the edge far away from the gods.
Antaeus also listened to his father's words and stayed here for a long time, practicing hard and preparing to take revenge on Adros in the future. He told Poseidon about this matter, but Poseidon, who always doted on him, didn't say anything and just let him find his way back to the situation later.
During this time, Antaeus had settled down to practice, but when he was bored, he ordered passers-by to fight with him to kill time.
A few days ago, a goddess who claimed to be able to predict the future and change destiny came to Libya. She has a magical mirror. It is said that in the mirror, everyone can see the best future. Just follow the instructions of this goddess and you will be able to achieve it.
Antaeus waited in line for a long time and finally got the chance to look at this magical mirror. In the mirror, Antaeus saw the scene that he had dreamed of. He was sitting high on the throne of Olympus, with many goddesses of Olympus waiting beside him, and the wife of Adros, the goddess of love and beauty. The god even knelt at his feet and begged him to spare Adros' life.
However, while he was laughing loudly in the mirror, he was suddenly pushed, and he immediately realized that this was just the future predicted by this magical mirror.
So, the arrogant and arrogant son of Gaia and Poseidon humbly asked for advice for the first time. He asked the goddess next to him: "Please tell me, goddess, how can I realize this future?"
Looking at the fool in front of him, Eris, the goddess of discord who transformed into a destiny changer, sighed, shook her head and said: "It's difficult, it's too difficult."
When Antels heard this, he realized that since what she said was difficult, there was something going on. The reckless man became smarter for the first time and hurriedly asked again.
Eris pretended to be helpless by his questioning, and sighed: "Forget it, I'll tell you, but even if I tell you, you may not be able to do it."
"Goddess, just say it, there is nothing I can't do as I grow up." Antaeus floated up and selectively filtered out the incident of being beaten by Adros a few years ago.
"Ever since the first generation of god kings opened the divine court, fate has pronounced its verdict. The son of the god king has the destiny of killing his father and seizing the throne. Therefore, Cronus can overthrow Uranus, Zeus can overthrow Cronus, and this In the era, there were also three people who overthrew the Divine Court and became kings. They were Poros, Dionysus and Hercules. However, Poros was destined not to be born because his mother was swallowed by Zeus, leaving only The next two. As long as you can kill the two of them, you can seize their destiny and become the god who overthrows Zeus."
After listening to the half-truths and half-false words of the Goddess of Discord, Antels left with his heart full of thoughts.
After he left, the Goddess of Discord suddenly spoke to Hai Zhong and said: "After watching for so long, it's time to come out."
Above the sea, a graceful and beautiful goddess walked out. She was the granddaughter of Pontos, the wise man on the sea, who had just become the Lord of the Cancer Palace in the Adros Divine Court, Thetis.
"As expected, he is indeed the master of the giant star who is in charge of right and wrong. The magic mirror is said to be a divine mirror. With just a few words, the good relationship between Zeus and Poseidon is about to fall apart."
Thetis looked at this discordant goddess who once disrupted her so-called wedding and couldn't help but admire.
Eris, the goddess of discord, put away her magic mirror and laughed: "I, the giant star master, am at best the god of my sister, Hecate, the lord of the Big Dipper. In the words of our majesty, it is quite impressive. Sister Carter has her own power. But you, the Cancer Palace Master of the Divine Court, are destined to be a big shot in the Divine Court in the future. The task of dealing with Hermes and the others will be left to you."
Although Eris said this, her expression showed no trace of godly reluctance. Of her many brothers and sisters, the ones she admires most are not the mysterious Lord of Space Etel and the goddess of day Hemera, nor are they the two brothers of Death and Sleep who perform their duties in place of Pluto in the underworld. Hecate, the youngest but beloved by their mother.
She had no dissatisfaction with being recruited by Hecate to be a god. More importantly, it is such a supreme honor to be able to build a new divine court together, and it can sow discord among many gods.
Thetis smiled bitterly and shook her head. She didn't know how to respond to this strange goddess, so she just whispered: "Hermes and the others, I have already prepared a big gift."
Today, in the Star Divine Court, she only knows Hecate, the Lord of the Big Dipper, Styx, the Lord of the Angel Galaxy, and Eros, the Lord of the Giant Gate Star in front of her, and of course, the imprisoned Jupiter.
Although these stars did not have the strength to compete with Olympus, they always gave her some comfort and some hope.
·······
Although Antaeus can draw strength from his mother earth as long as he does not leave the earth. However, during the life-and-death duel between the two, Hercules knocked him down three times and finally discovered the secret of his restored strength.
In the end, the son of the Earth Mother and the Sea King, after a day and night of duel with Hercules, was choked by Hercules and hung in the air. He died in the hands of Hercules without a single blow. A god came to stop him.
