Zeus (Zeus):

★ Zeus is the son of Cronus, the king of gods in charge of the sky. The supreme god in Greek mythology, who mastered thunder and lightning, was also called Thor. With the support of his mother Rhea, he killed his father Cronus and became the third generation God King. He is extremely lewd, often cheating on his wife Hera with other goddesses and mortals, and there are countless illegitimate children.

★ The symbols of Zeus are eagle, oak tree, baton, throne and mountain peak; His favorite sacrifices are a female goat and a white cow with Jinjiao.

★ Development history

When Zeus was born, his father Cronus was in power, and his mother Rhea was afraid that Zeus would be swallowed up by his father. Therefore, he was hidden in Crete and raised by three female immortals-on the island, a female goat provided him with holy milk and an eagle brought him fairy wine; Whenever he cried, Rhea's servants went to the cradle to dance for Zeus and beat the bronze shield with daggers to cover up his crying, so Cronus never discovered the secret.

Zeus thrived on the island day by day. One day, while playing with a female goat, he accidentally pushed her down and broke a beautiful horn. Fairy Amar Teia soon healed her wound. Zeus picked up the horn, endowed it with magical power and dedicated it to the kind fairy. The horn of this ram has been called "the horn of abundance" since then, because it can produce all kinds of delicious food.

When Zeus came of age, he cheated out five brothers and sisters, all of whom were swallowed up by his father. Together, they overthrew Cronus and finally ascended the throne.

So he lifted Antaeus into the air with strong arms and hanged him.

King Amphitryon learned from the mouth of a blind soothsayer that his son was extremely talented, and he was determined to let his son enjoy an education worthy of being a hero. He hired heroes from all over the world to teach young Hercules all kinds of skills. He personally taught him the skills of driving chariots; King Eurytos of Ocalia taught him to draw a bow and shoot arrows; Happel Kush taught him fighting and boxing; Mokas taught him to play the piano and sing. Casto, one of Zeus' twins, taught him to fight in the wild with all his weapons. Apollo's white-haired son Rinos taught him to read and write. Hercules showed his talent and ability to learn. But he can't stand the torture. Old Rinos is an impatient teacher. On one occasion, he hit Hercules for no reason. Hercules grabbed his harp and threw it at the teacher's head. The teacher immediately fell to the ground and died. Hercules regretted it very much, but he was taken to court. The upright and knowledgeable judge Radamantis acquitted him. The judge issued a new law that those who kill in self-defense are innocent. However, Amphitryon was worried that his powerful son would commit similar crimes in the future, so he sent him to the countryside to herd cattle. Heracles lived here year after year and grew tall and strong. He is more than ten feet tall, and his eyes are bright, like flickering coals. He is good at riding and shooting. He can shoot and throw a gun. By the time he was 0/8 years old, he had grown into the most handsome and strong man in Greece. He is facing the challenge of fate, and now it is time to see whether his martial arts and strength are used for benefit or evil.

Heracles left the shepherd and the cow and went to a quiet place to think about how to choose his life path. Suddenly, he saw two noble women coming face to face. A woman has all kinds of manners, noble and pure, modest eyes and polite manners, wearing a white robe. Another elegant, snow-white skin is painted with powder and perfume, and her posture is correct, which makes her look taller than she really is. Her eyes looked straight ahead, dressed appropriately, and showed infinite charm. She admired herself and looked around freely to see if anyone was looking at her with envy. When they approached, the latter woman grabbed the first few steps, got ahead of the first woman, walked up to the handsome Hercules and said hello, "Hercules, I can see that you are still hesitating and don't know what kind of life path to choose." If you choose me as your girlfriend, then I can take you to the most comfortable life path. When you get there, you can enjoy all the fun of life, and there will be no troubles and unevenness in life; You don't have to take part in any war, you don't have to worry about buying and selling, you just enjoy wine and food. You sleep in a warm and soft bed, and you don't have to do physical and mental work. You can enjoy the fruits of other people's labor and endless prosperity, because I have given my friends the right to enjoy everything. "

Hercules listened to this seductive remark and asked her in surprise, "Beautiful woman, what's your name?"

"My friends call me the goddess of happiness." She replied, "and those who want to belittle me say I am a frivolous girl."

Just then, another woman came to the front. "I've come to see you, dear Hercules." She said: "I know your father, your talent and your education, which give me hope." If you choose the path I show you, you will achieve all the good deeds and great events in the world. But I can't guarantee that you will enjoy the splendor. I just want to tell you how much the gods in heaven like you. However, all the gains will not fall from the sky. If you want God to protect you, you should worship them first. If you want to get the love of your friends, then you should do good for them. If you want the country to respect you, you should serve it; If you want all Greece to praise your virtue, then you should seek happiness for all Greece; As you sow, you reap. If you want to win the war, you must learn the art of war. If you want to keep a strong body, you should make it strong through hard work. "

The frivolous woman suddenly interrupted her words. "You see, my dear Hercules," she said, "how long and bumpy you have to go to achieve the goal she said. And I guide you to happiness in the most comfortable way. " "You are a lying woman," the kind woman said to her. "You have nothing beautiful. You don't know what true happiness is, because you were satisfied before you went to them. Whether you are hungry or thirsty, no soft and warm bed can satisfy you. You let your friends drink all night, sleep soundly during the day, and how many good times are wasted. When they were young, they lived a carefree life. When they were old, they were ashamed of the past. What about you? Although you are immortal, you are spurned by the gods and despised by the good world. You have never heard a compliment or done a good deed. On the contrary, I was welcomed by the gods and all the good people. Artists regard me as a messenger, my parents regard me as a loyal protector, and my servants regard me as a kind helper. I am a supporter of the cause of peace, a reliable ally in the war and a loyal friend. For my friends, eating and sleeping are more important than lazy people. Young people like to be praised by old people, and old people like to be respected by young people. They are satisfied with their past behavior and happy with what they are doing now. I make people respect customers, let them be blessed by God, loved by friends and respected by the country. When the end comes, they will not walk into the grave in obscurity and disgrace, but their glory will remain in the world and be admired by future generations. Ah, Hercules, if you choose this way of life, you will feel really happy. "

The two women finished and disappeared, leaving Hercules alone. He is determined to choose the road of virtue. Soon, he found an opportunity to do good. As we all know, Greece at that time was densely covered with jungles and swamps, and there were fierce lions, wild boars and other evil animals everywhere. Therefore, removing these evil obstacles and liberating Greece from this harmful beast is one of the great goals of ancient heroes.
