Chapter 308 Of course the father of mankind must be worthy of the mother of mankind
Eros is his favorite when women fight.
With such a good opportunity, there must be many goddesses making plans on it to seek revenge.
This scene is quite rare.
Regarding Eros's speech, Prometheus seemed a little helpless.
She was worried, and there were constant conflicts and disputes on Mount Olympus, but Eros was thinking about having fun.
This is really too much.
"Harm, they can't be beaten to death anyway. There will be revenge and injustice will be repaid. When the time comes, wouldn't it be better to have a fight than to target each other in a verbal war?"
See what Prometheus wants? Meaning, Eros explained.
If there is a conflict, the simplest solution is to have a fight.
This is much better than just trying to rub each other's skin on the surface, and then holding back and engaging in infighting.
Perhaps what Eros said makes some sense, and Prometheus' worried expression has improved a lot.
"That's right, no matter what, they are going to fight, it's better to make it easy and simple."
Prometheus also looked away a little, Don't worry about this anymore.
“By the way, one more thing, I heard that Zeus will reward the best performer in the entire Olympus Games.”
"Oh, I know this, what's wrong?"
Eros knew it well, this position was naturally reserved for him, and he would directly ascend to the sky and enter Mount Olympus in the name of reward.
It's just that the matter of going through the back door needs to be concealed a little bit, and it can't be made so obvious.
"No, what I mean is that your reward will be counted in the competition between gods, and Zeus will give humans separate rewards."
Prometheus said this , her face showed a bit of sadness again.
"It is said that the name of the reward is Pandora. It is a gift from the gods and a suffering bestowed by the gods."
"Use the perfect human shape as a box to hide all the beauty and pain in it. Gift."
"I am very worried whether the pain given by the gods will affect the people on the earth again and plunge them into disaster."
She. The worried words did not fall into Eros’ ears, because Eros only heard the first half of the sentence.
“What did you say? What’s her name?!”
"Huh? Don't you know? Pandora? It means "gift of the gods", a human form made by Hephaestus himself."
Prometheus was a little confused, after all, Eros and Hephaestus How could Festus not know about this kind of thing after being together for three years?
She thought she was the last to know about it.
“Hephaestus gave her the perfect form, Aphrodite gave her the enchanting charm, and Athena gave her wisdom.”
“All the people God has given her gifts, and she will bring these gifts to humans as part of the covenant between humans and gods.”
Knowing this, Prometheus could not change anything.
Because everything in the world has a good side and a bad side.
Just like Ares, although she symbolizes war, blood and killing, she also symbolizes courage and strength.
She will bring wars and riots, and disasters to the world, but it is precisely because of these disasters that mankind will continue to move forward.
Even for a friendly goddess like Athena, wisdom can bring about conspiracy and plotting, which are two sides of the same coin.
Accept the blessings of the gods, but also accept the malice from the gods.
But what Eros cares about is not this, but the fact that he may have to miss a beautiful beauty. "Why didn't you warn me about this kind of thing earlier?"
Pandora is not less famous than these goddesses. As a collector, Eros is naturally impossible to miss. .
I originally thought that due to my butterfly effect, this character with unique significance in the entire Greek mythology would never be born again.
But unexpectedly, in the end, Pandora was born as originally designed and used for the same purpose.
According to legend, the original human beings were only male, and it was the appearance of Pandora that brought about gender differences and divisions.
And this also symbolizes the beginning of human divergence. Humanity is gradually divided from a harmonious whole into two genders.
Subsequently, they were split into more groups and could never be united again.
Because of Eros, the new humans made fewer attempts and made many mistakes, and directly achieved Zeus's ideal state in one step.
As a result, Pandora, who symbolizes desire and brings the boundaries between good and evil and others in the harmonious world, seems to have no meaning in appearing.
Then what does Zeus want to do by still creating Pandora at this time?
Eros didn’t quite understand, but he only knew that he must not miss the prototype of Eve, the mother of mankind.
"It's just a doll. If you want it, why not ask Hephaestus to make one for you?"
Prometheus is a little uncomfortable. Explanation, after all, Pandora may not even be considered alive now, she is just a beautiful doll.
Although she has divine beauty, she also has animalistic appetite and lust, as well as a sweet voice that imitates people and tells lies.
Although he has the wisdom given by Athena, he has no matching emotions. In the eyes of Prometheus, he is just a talking doll.
It wouldn’t be a problem for Hephaestus to make a few more dolls like this.
“No, you don’t understand at all, that’s Pandora!”
Eros said in a fiery tone.
"Haven't you discovered the legend that this name will bring? No, I can't miss her."
Prometheus was a little confused, but she had not seen the gift from the gods, so Not too sure.
It’s just that she knows that Eros is a prophet who is better than her in some aspects, so she won’t tell nonsense.
I really didn’t expect that a doll made by the gods could be so important?
Prometheus fell into deep thought. Did she underestimate human growth?
And Eros has already begun to think about how to get Pandora.
Ask Zeus directly? It's not easy, after all, if you really wanted to give it to yourself, Zeus would have given it to you directly.
So this Pandora, Zeus wanted to give her to humans, not to play with Eros.
Then Eros must think of some way to see how he can get Pandora.
Hey, Zeus means to reward those who perform well in the competition, right?
Wouldn't it be great if his good daughter Minos takes first place?
I guess my good girl wouldn’t mind dedicating these extraneous things to him, let alone taking a step back.
Even if the other demigods get the rewards, as an ancestor, can’t he, Eros, enjoy the sacrifices offered by his descendants?
All in all, beautiful beauties, especially beauties like Pandora, who would definitely have an appetite for Eros just thinking about it.
Eros cannot let anyone go.
I remember I mentioned that Greece has always used philosophical methods to deconstruct myths, especially those led by Plato.
So Pandora is indeed very important in human concepts. She symbolizes human desire and the dark side [although it has a bit of a nv meaning].
But the Greeks did not deny this dark side. Instead, they believed that this was the reason why humans were different from gods and animals, which is the so-called human nature.
