Chapter 274 Prometheus's Fire Story
Sure enough, Zeus seemed to have not discovered His hiding and directly chose the one that looked beautiful and large, covered with snow-white beef oil.
Zeus uncovered the beef oil, revealing the pile of beef bones below the beef oil.
He drank it out directly, "It seems that my friend, son of Iapetus, you have not forgotten your deceitful tricks!"
It is also because of this that Zeus directly reduced the punishment and refused to provide humans with the last thing indispensable to life.
fire!
And that choice also affected the subsequent sacrifices, and the subsequent sacrifices were all based on Zeus' choice at that time.
The beef bones are sacrificed to the gods, and the beef humans can leave it to eat.
His actions at that time did save food for people, but it also led to Zeus' refusal to provide fire to mankind.
Prometheus's eyes were complicated.
Thinking about it at this time, He didn't know whether Zeus was really confused at that time, or did he choose so deliberately, just to punish human beings and refuse to provide fire to human beings.
Just as he was thinking, a cry of pain suddenly came from not far away.
Prometheus turned his head and found that it was a tall and thin man lying on the ground, covering his stomach and howling.
He hurriedly walked back and checked.
"Prometheus save me, my stomach hurts so much!" Ricardo wailed.
Prometheus glanced at him and found a piece of raw meat beside him that had eaten most of the time, with a faint smell of rancidness and flying insects circling on it.
"Is this stomachache caused by eating rotten raw meat?"
"That would be great if there was fire..."
A wave of desire appeared in Prometheus's eyes, and he subconsciously looked up at the sun above his head, or the galloping sun carriage.
A moment of hesitation flashed in His eyes.
...
Night comes.
On the dark night, birds and beasts chirped, Hector and others gathered together tremblingly, frightened by the screams coming from the darkness.
"What's that sound?"
"It's so scary. Could it be that I've come to our neighborhood?"
"I'm so cold..."
In the dark corner, watching the humans gather together with trembling, Prometheus finally made a decision in his heart.
He wants to steal fire for mankind!
Only by having fire can they get rid of the cold, no longer fear wild beasts, and continue to develop!
Just when He makes a decision in His heart.
...
Mount Olympus.
Looking at the dark earth, Zeus showed a satisfied smile on his face.
He wore a Greek-style white robe with complex patterns embroidered on it, with a strong body and a bulging muscle, and looked extremely strong.
It has a brilliant blonde hair and a crown woven with an olive branch, demonstrating its supreme status as a god.
The eyes are deep and bright, shining with the light of wisdom and authority, as if they can see through everything in the world, with a strong face and a straight nose, revealing unquestionable decisiveness and majesty.
"Prometheus, this is the price you deceived me. I think there is no more fire. What should these humans do!"
Just thinking about it, Zeus was a little angry.
When he was dividing the cow, He was indeed distracted and was thinking about another thing. When he realized that he could only use the trick.
What He was thinking about at that time was how to destroy humanity.
At first, humans were fine, but later He found that humans were gradually falling and some disrespectful to their gods.
In particular, He found that some human beings had dirty thoughts in their hearts, and they had inappropriate thoughts, wanting to become eternal, and wanting to become God!
A mere group of creatures! He naturally cannot tolerate such things.
So He refused to give to mankind and accomplish the most important thing that civilization needs, fire.
In a sense, fire symbolizes light, wisdom, and even eternity.
Once humans master fire, they will greatly enhance their abilities and wisdom, so that they no longer fear God.
"Hmph, Prometheus, what are you thinking about when you help humans so hard and hard..."
Zeus's eyes flashed.
...
The night passed.
When the goddess of dawn lit up dawn, Apollo, the god of light, drove the carriage of Helios, gradually rose from the horizon.
Hiding among the clouds, Prometheus was holding a fennel stalk in his hand, looking at the sun carriage galloping in the distance.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Four savage sun horses covered with golden light, covered with mysterious runes, made of gold, emitting light and heat, and Apollo, the god of light standing on the frame, came into His eyes .
The sun carriage radiating a blazing flame passed through His vision, leaving a path of flame.
While the flame road did not disappear, Prometheus held the fennel stalks and hurriedly approached to pick up the fire.
After receiving the fire, He protected the fire and flew towards the ground.
...
As soon as he flew to the gathering place of mankind, he also realized Epimethus nearby and immediately discovered Prometheus and what he was holding in his hand.
"Is this... fire?"
"Brother, you!"
Epimethus was shocked at first, then looked worried, "Is this Zeus sent it, brother?"
"Don't worry, I'm responsible for everything." Prometheus said, holding the fennel stalk, "Go and set up an altar to light the fire."
Soon, Epimethus and many humans set up.
As time passed, flames rose one after another.
When the night came again, many humans suddenly burst into laughter.
"Haha, with fire, those damn beasts should never get close to you!"
Looking at the jackals, tigers and leopards whose eyes were reflecting but they dared not approach them, Terry and others were overjoyed.
At the same time, they set up a fire and roasted cooked food they had never eaten before.
"Is this cooked food? It's really good..."
Looking at the humans who were no longer afraid of the night and the cold, Prometheus smiled.
However, He and mankind were happy here. Zeus on Mount Olympus soon saw the piles of fires that appeared on the dark earth at night.
"What's going on!"
"Prometheus, you did this?!"
Prometheus was summoned to Zeus and questioned him.
Next to Him are the gods of light, such as Apollo, Athena, and other gods.
Facing Zeus' questioning and the puzzled eyes of Gods such as Apollo, Prometheus had already thought of a speech.
He hurriedly said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. It was caused by Apollo's accidental ignition of trees when he drove the carriage of Helios."
Um?
Facing His statement, Zeus did not believe it, but his eyes were still looking at Apollo, who was tall and handsome, and was about to see what He said.
