Chapter 275 You don’t have to be so clear about things in Greece
“You don’t look like a Greek, but you also believe in Zeus?”
Eros looked down at the other person, his eyes full of interest.
He could tell at a glance that the other person was not a Greek, had no microcosm, and had no resonance with his human ancestor.
But such an outsider knelt down in front of the statue of Zeus very devoutly and prayed to it.
This made Eros a little curious, so he took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
The foreign youth kneeling on the ground opened his eyes. He was wearing a dusty traveler's robe, and his brown eyes were filled with exhaustion and confusion.
"I'm very sorry, did I hinder you?"
The other party stood up and seemed to want to make way for Eros.
But after he raised his head and saw Eros's face clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned. The next moment, he looked a little excited.
"Excuse me, are you the incarnation of the gods in the sky? Have you heard my prayer and come here specifically to answer it for me?"
With Eros's appearance and condition, it is really difficult not to be confused by others. As an envoy or an incarnation of a god.
Fortunately, Eros has long been used to this situation and doesn't mind.
"Your prayer? I'm sorry I didn't hear it at all."
"I'm just a passerby passing by here by chance, and I'm just a little curious about you."
Eros looked at the other person's handsome facial features and felt a sense of déjà vu.
Listening to Eros’ explanation that was not an explanation, the young man seemed to have misunderstood something.
Of course the incarnation of God will not admit that he is God.
He understands this unspoken rule, he understands it.
Suppressing his inner excitement and joy, the young man bowed respectfully and saluted.
"When we first met, my name is Cadmus, the one who came across the sea to seek relatives."
"As you said, I am indeed not a person born on this land."
Cadmus? Eros felt that the name was a little familiar, but not that familiar.
It’s so itchy, is my brain going to grow back?
Eros couldn't remember this somewhat familiar name for a while.
But what is certain is that the young man in front of him is also a figure who has left a name.
"My name. I won't tell you for now."
After thinking about it, Eros did not introduce himself directly.
This is at the foot of Mount Olympus. As long as Hera is not deaf, she should be able to hear her name.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, let’s not talk about it for now.
But such an operation convinced Cadmus that the person in front of him was the incarnation of the god.
The face full of fatigue suddenly burst out with the color of hope.
"Come from the ocean? Where are you from? And why are you here?"
Eros asked three questions in succession, and Cadmus did not dare to hide anything. said.
"Yes, I did come across the sea, from Phoenicia, which is far away from here. I came to this land in order to find my sister."
As soon as he heard the word Phenicia, the fragmented information in Eros' mind was instantly put together.
That’s it! Who did he say? It turns out to be my brother-in-law!
Cadmus, Phoenician prince, Europa’s younger brother.
In the original legend, he came to Greece in search of his sister, but he never found her.
Finally, under the guidance of Apollo, the city of Thebes was established. And in the city of Thebes he established, many wonderful stories will also be staged.
For example, Oedipus the King, the birth of Dionysus, the god of wine, and the seven heroes attacking Thebes.
It’s just that due to some butterfly effects, he did not go to Delphi to receive Apollo’s oracle.
Instead, we came to the foot of Mount Olympus, guessing that we might participate in the next grand event.
But according to Eros’ prediction, this Phoenician prince will definitely not be able to return to his hometown.
Without Thebes, what would happen to the missing Bacchus?
Where did Semele, who was missing from Eros and Zeus, come from?
As for the confusing relationships, for example, Eros had a child with Europa, but he still coveted Cadmus' daughter Semele and so on.
Such a small detail is innocuous and there is no need to mention it again.
Eros has also been fully integrated into the Greek atmosphere, without those boring scruples.
"Oh, the Phoenician prince, Cadmus."
Eros looked at the other party and said something meaningful.
Now that the other party appears in front of him, should he let Cadmus see his sister?
After all, they came from such a long distance. After all, they have a deep love for each other and they have to meet each other, right?
While Eros was thinking about these things, Cadmus sighed as expected.
"Yes, that is me. It is said that my sister was taken away by the God King incarnate as a white bull."
"My father was extremely angry and ordered me to never go back if I can't find my sister. "
"For this reason, I have been searching hard for three years, but there is no news."
Cadmus has completely believed that Eros is the incarnation of the gods. There was something pleading in his tone.
"Can you show me the way? If my sister is still alive, please let me take her back to her life."
"If she is no longer here, then please tell me what should I do next?"
Sister-brother love? It is impossible to say that there is no emotion.
But if Cadmus is like this and wants to find Europa just out of family affection, it is impossible.
He was already exhausted and could no longer continue this task.
But if he cannot find his sister, he will not be able to return to his hometown and inherit the throne of Phoenicia.
The Phoenician god was very angry. If he could not bring back the witch who belonged to the god, he would only be torn apart by the storm.
Not knowing where his way forward was, Cadmus, who was confused, followed the guidance of the rainbow and came to Altis, the foot of the gods.
He prayed to Zeus, asking the Greek king of gods to give him guidance or gifts.
But after he finished praying, what appeared next was Eros, who was as radiant as a god.
This situation, coupled with Eros's convincing sense of security and trust, makes it difficult not to misunderstand.
"Please give me instructions, merciful and generous gods."
"Even if I am not the people you created, I am willing to abandon the existence I once served and serve you instead."
“I only hope that you can give me light and illuminate my way forward.”
Faced with Cadmus’s sincere request, Eros didn’t know how to answer.
Isn’t it a little late to explain now? So how should you answer this guy?
Tell him that your sister already has a family business here, don't think about it, just do what you have to do, right?
Would it hurt him a little too much to say this?
Just as Eros was thinking about how to answer Cadmus, the sound of metal colliding with the ground sounded softly.
Wearing armor that shines like gold, a very petite figure appeared at the door of the Pantheon.
There is no need to study the ethical issues in Greece in such detail
