Greek Demon Myth

35 – Tales of the Gods

King of the gods.

The most powerful god.

The ruler of Olympus.

Who will defy the honor of defeating the titan god king who is the son of Cronus and controls time?

Though many people forget about her because of her unique frivolous behavior and her brazen flirtation that makes Hera radiate heat.

Even if all the gods of Olympus joined forces except for him, they could not overcome his thunderbolt unless the king of the sea and the ruler of the underworld joined together.

Zeus always sits on a lofty throne with his mighty power and reigns, protecting all of Greece.

But who knows.

That even the king of the gods sometimes struggles with the pain of a dream, waking up at night in nightmares.

In my opinion, it seems to be hiding it because it hides it well.

When he cried out in a cold sweat in his bedroom, it was Hera who stayed by his side, comforted him, and led him back to his dreams.

Every time Zeus went outside and teased his waist and shamelessly offered flowers and jewels as gifts, Hera felt like her entire body was swollen upside down.

Nevertheless, he was her only companion, and he was her king who had twice faced the world’s crises with his whole body.

Just like Hermes, when Zeus cried out Typhon’s name and trembled alone, Hera would quietly go into his bedroom, put him back to sleep, and leave quietly before the morning sun rose.

“Perhaps Zeus would be more anxious than you if he found out about Dianes’ blood.”

“Yes? Oh, your father?”

That father was trembling with anxiety.

Hermes did not dare to imagine, but Hera shook her head gently and denied his words.

“That is what a king is. Apart from the fact that his power would be jeopardized, the slightest possibility that the Olympus he had built, and the men and gods living peacefully beneath it, could fall at the hands of a catastrophe like Typhon’s would be most terrible to him. “

Even though she had the goddess of her family as her companion, the fact that she continued her affair without end angered Hera.

The reason Hera tolerates Zeus and remains her queen even though her profession is belittled is because, as her king, he is sincere in her love and responsibility for Olympus and Greece. Am.

“He is different from my father, the titan king. He always sits at the top of Olympus. I am happy to see so many people living freely.”

Sometimes when Hera goes to the top of her Olympus in search of him, he will take her gently in her arms and look around the whole Greek world, looking at her like a child taking out her treasure chest. Used to brag

Yes, Hera must have been enchanted by those eyes and accepted his marriage proposal.

Zeus mobilized her tempest to seize one of her, transformed into an injured sparrow, and broke into her bedroom with her hand.

At that violence, Hera was furious like fire, and while bowing her head in anger, Zeus explained the world he was drawing with all his might.

Unlike the previous world where the king of the titans, their father Kronos, held everything in his hands through tyranny and violence, a free world where gods, humans, spirits, and other races freely love, fight, and circulate with each other.

In order to realize this, Hera, who is the most benevolent and righteous, is needed as his partner and mediator, and Hera decided to become his partner despite his wishful thinking.

“So, even if you tell me about Dianes’ lineage right away, he won’t commit a riot of harming her.”

However, it must be that much anxiety.

The first pure-blooded protogenoi to appear after Typhon’s death.

Now he is wearing a human body, but judging from how he handled his divine powers earlier, it was probably even faster for Dianes to awaken to his profession before his body faded.

And the anxiety of Zeus looking at this will deepen even more, and like Hermes, the night suffering from Typhon’s nightmare will become even longer.

Even Hera did not dare to predict what kind of tragedy would ensue at the end.

“You wouldn’t dare directly harm the old nightmother’s blood relatives. Perhaps there will be no end to the tragedy around him.”

Although Zeus loved the free world, he was relentless against the threats that might invade it. Predictably, if Dianes were confirmed as an uneasy factor, he would do everything he could to bring him down to the bottom of the abyss.

Neither did Hera wish that the child she loved so much that she would mate with her hand would fall into such a tragedy.

“But even so, it is clear that the child is likely to become a threat in the future. I agree that we need to be prepared for this.”

“Then think about it this way, how reassuring would he be if the child who might be a threat is with Olympus?”

The direction Hermes couldn’t see because he was buried in the nightmare of Typhon.

If the blood relatives of the mighty Protogenoi loved Greece and the world like them, they would be of great help in stopping Gigantomachia, which was confirmed later.

“So much optimism!”

“You seem to have forgotten what kind of goddess I was before taking over my current business.”

Uncharacteristically for Hermes, who stood up to her with a strong stance, Hera laughed softly and let her luck rise.

At that, Hermes also closed her mouth, which was about to say something passionate about her, and slowly recalled Hera’s past.

Queen of the gods, guardian of the home, goddess of beautiful eyes.

By the way, Mr. Hera from before?

“Ah…!”

Hermes brushed her forehead and her eyes widened.

Her head, which was always tight, has become so dull today!

The beginning of a new era that defeated the mighty Cronus and won the Titanomachy.

Hera, the third daughter of Cronus and a born magician, was a disciple of Gaia, a great mother goddess who mastered the secret arts of the earth and the underworld, and a priest who served Protogenoids.

However, with the new age, the protogenoids gradually withdrew from the present world, and Hera also naturally withdrew from the position of priest.

She accepted the marriage proposal of Zeus and passed on the earth’s profession to Demeter and the ancient mysteries and mystic arts to Hecate. It was heard

That’s why she had a closer relationship with the descendants of Protoge Noi than any other gods in the present Olympus, and among them, she communicated directly with Nyx, the mother of the primordial night, and learned all kinds of ancient secret arts. Was

“Perhaps no one knows the old chestnut mother as well as I do”

Nyx can be summed up as an unpredictable mischief in Hera’s mind as she smiles bitterly and thinks of her old mentor.

“Usually, he quietly contemplates in the depths of the abyss, but he is the one who suddenly chills even that Kronos with an eccentric prank. However, he will not be the one who hates us like Gaia and will send a disaster like Typhon.”

You, too, are familiar with Nyx’s offspring.

Hermes also slowly nodded to her kind question, which Hera added.

The Moirai, the three goddesses of fate who are currently advisors to Zeus.

Hypnos, the god of dreams, taught her own mystic arts to Hera, who tricked her into Zeus’ nightmares.

Eris, a villain of jealousy and discord, brings competition and strife among all things.

Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance who lives in fear and reverence in Greece, who came with decisive judgment and vengeance.

The primordial death Thanatos and her underworld ferryman Charon were also descendants of Nyx.

Is that all?

Hemera, the now-defunct goddess of day, who passed on her profession to the titan gods Hyperion and Eos before their birth, from which the name Hera was later derived, was also the daughter of Nyx.

“All of them… Even though they possess mighty power, they enjoy their business rather than being greedy for the throne of Olympus.”

Especially in the case of Thanatos, he was a god who occasionally ran into Hermes, who was also the messenger of the underworld.

For some reason, the old death with red wings spread and black hair would drop candy or snacks whenever he met Hermes without saying anything.

It was a strange god who smiled silently and quietly disappeared when Hermes joked around and thanked him.

“It must all resemble Nyx-sama’s temperament.”

Should I say that even as a god, he transcended himself?

Nyx’s descendants were the ones who enjoyed watching the world run more than Zeus.

“Only Nix-sama knows the inside story, but first of all, Dianes is also the child of Nix-sama, who treasured this world. So, take your worries away.”

With that said, Hera smiled as she looked down at Dianes and Atalanta, who had finished their passionate kiss.

“Above all, how many children these days love the world and humans?”

Seeing Hera smiling at a human after a long time, Hermes asked, just in case.

“Could it be… Did Hera see this ahead of time and endow that child with affection? Did you know that Atalanta is the daughter of Artemis-sama?”

“Well? It’s something we don’t know yet. Not all lovers come under my protection. And again, Artemis…”

An illegitimate child who, at Zeus’ request, Hera mobilized all her patience and allowed her to become the head of Olympus.

You dare harm the pair she blessed?

The Queen of the Gods only smiled as if the thought of it made her laugh.

“If Artemis wants to do harm to those children, do it. If you want to cross the road, I will break the spokes of the crescent moon myself.”
