The origin of Libra?

Zeus threw his scales into the sky to commemorate the reconciliation between the goddess and Poseidon, and today's scales appeared.

Legend has it that in a very distant age, human beings and God lived together on the ground and lived a peaceful and happy life.

Zeus had countless wives, so he also had countless children. Justitia, the goddess of justice, is the daughter of Zeus and Themis (the goddess of justice is themis Themis, the daughter of Uranus and Gaia). Zeus and all the gods in the temple regard her as the apple of their eye, but she is very independent, firm, enthusiastic and has her own thoughts.

Poseidon is the fifth child of the second generation of gods and queens Cronus and Rhea, the younger brother of Hades and the older brother of Zeus. He is as deep and cold as the sea.

Humans are very clever. They gradually learned to build houses and pave roads, but they also learned to fight and cheat. War and evil began to spread among mankind, and many gods could not bear it and returned to heaven to live in succession. Only themis, the goddess of justice, and Poseidon, the sea god, stayed. The goddess did not despair of mankind. She thought that human beings would wake up one day and return to the good and pure nature of the past.

Themis and Poseidon went to see Zeus, the king of God, and Hera, the queen of God, and asked for a trial. Hera suggested that they compete to see who can make mankind feel more peaceful, and whoever loses will apologize to each other. Hera was partial to Poseidon and jealous of themis, the goddess of justice. She knows that water is the source of life, which will definitely make human beings feel peaceful.

The venue is located in Tiantang Square, and Poseidon will start first. With a wave of Poseidon's hand on the wall, beautiful water flows out of the cracks, which makes people feel infinitely cool and comfortable after seeing it.

Mankind realized the importance of peace, and the goddess and Poseidon reconciled. In order to commemorate this result, Zeus threw the scales he carried with him into the sky, and today's Libra came into being.
