Chapter 419 Prometheus

On a steep cliff, the heavy iron chains, once made by the god of fire, Hephaestus, are constantly hitting the stones on the cliff that have already shown marks.

Jingle!

And the only thing in the world that responds to this jingle is the eagle's chirp that keeps coming from the sky!

Here is the Caucasus Mountains.

The place where Zeus imprisoned and tortured Prometheus!

It seems that the myriad myths of innumerable countries always have something close.

Just like Brahmetheus at this time and the sand monk in the quicksand river.

It seems that the gods like to torture those who make them dissatisfied with constant daily pain!

Monk Sha suffers from piercing pain every day.

And Brahmetheus, he was chained on the Caucasus Mountain, and his liver would be eaten away by the condor sent by Zeus every day!

For a day, even if Prometheus didn't take the initiative to recover from his injuries.

As the grandson of Gaia, the physique of the second-generation Titan God can also allow him to grow a new liver.

And in this way, he can only bear the pain of his liver being pecked by the condor every day!

And among them, there is one thing that has to be said.

Why did Zeus send the eagle to peck Prometheus' liver instead of other heart or kidneys?

Because in the eyes of the Greek gods, the liver represents the source of a person's or god's emotions!

As for Zeus, he felt that Prometheus' emotions were too rich, so rich that he lost respect for him, the god-king, because of his sympathy for human beings!

In the earliest days, Prometheus was Zeus's comrade-in-arms.

Of course, Prometheus is different from Zeus, he is not a child of Cronus.

He is the second-generation Titan God, the grandson of Gaia and Uranus, the king of heaven.

For the second-generation God King Cronus,

It stands to reason that as a Titan god, he should not have conflicts with Cronus, and he should not become comrades-in-arms with Zeus to deal with Zeus' father and other Titans together.

All because Prometheus is so sympathetic, but also so kind!

He really couldn't understand Cronus's crazy behavior of eating his own children, and the sympathy he felt for those children eaten by Cronus made him join Zeus' camp without hesitation, towards Cronus The dynasty sounded the horn of attack.

At that time, the relationship between Zeus and Prometheus was fine.

Only later, when humans appeared....

It is well known that Prometheus was the thief of fire, which is why he was chained and tortured on the Caucasus Mountains.

But few people know that before Prometheus lost his temper, he had conflicts with Zeus for the sake of mankind.

At that time, human beings had just been born, and the gods held a meeting among gods for the rights and obligations that human beings need to undertake in the future!

The gods, including Zeus, unanimously require human beings to believe in them and respect them as a condition for the gods to protect human beings.

Especially Zeus, his pride and arrogance even made him ask the earliest humans to dedicate all the spoils they got to himself!

Prometheus was dissatisfied with Zeus's request. He, who had personally walked into human beings to observe human life, certainly knew what kind of miserable life would be brought to human beings by sacrificing all trophies and prey.

That means that human beings will lose the right to eat meat from now on!

After all, all prey needs to be sacrificed, so without prey, wouldn't human beings only be able to eat grass?

Therefore, Prometheus, who sympathizes with humans, fought against Zeus's anger at that meeting.

It's just that after a long dispute, as the second of the top three powerhouses in Olympus at that time, neither Zeus nor Prometheus could convince each other.

So, Prometheus decided to use his wisdom to help mankind!

Facing Zeus, he proposed a solution!

It's up to him to sacrifice two piles, and then it's up to Zeus to decide what he needs!

After Zeus agreed, Prometheus cut off Zeus' observation and secretly slaughtered hundreds of cattle.

After dissecting the cattle, Prometheus divided the various parts of the cattle into two piles.

Beef and offal were placed in a pile, and then he covered the meat and offal with cowhide.

In another pile, Prometheus piled up all the bones of the ox, which he wrapped in suet.

Moreover, he purposely piled up the pile of beef bones much larger than the pile of beef.

Then, when Prometheus pointed to two piles of things and asked Zeus to choose the one he liked.

Greedy and arrogant Zeus undoubtedly chose the bigger pile!

And so, Prometheus announced with a laugh, that the god-king loves animal bones and suet.

Therefore, after human beings in the future obtain their prey, they can keep the meat, internal organs, and fur for themselves, and only wrap the bones of the prey with the fat of the prey as a sacrifice to Zeus!

And this incident is the root of Zeus's dissatisfaction with Prometheus!

Zeus was angry that he had been deceived, so he decided to take revenge on Prometheus.

Aren't you very sympathetic to those humans, then I will destroy them!

Therefore, Zeus refused to provide the most important things to mankind.

flame!

Without flames, human beings can only live a life of ruthlessness and drinking blood, and this kind of treatment of human beings finally made Prometheus unbearable!

That day, when Helios' sun chariot drove across the sky, Prometheus picked up a sprig of fennel, and with this branch in the flame trail of Helios' sun chariot, he stole a little. one!

When Prometheus was planning to send flames to the world, Zeus, who had been following Prometheus, discovered his behavior.

So far, Zeus and Prometheus, the former main god of war of Olympus, fought for the first time!

That day, thunder broke out, and the entire sky was filled with the wrath of Zeus and Prometheus.

Their battle lasted for three days and three nights, and finally ended with the defeat of Prometheus.

Accompanied by Zeus's thunderbolt, Prometheus hit the ground, but even if he was shot down by the thunderbolt, he still held tightly the flame he had stolen.

When fighting Zeus, in order to protect the flame, Prometheus just hid the flame in his heart!

After humans became aware of Luo Lei and Prometheus, more and more glowing flames lit up the land.

And Prometheus hid the fire he stole in his heart. As long as Prometheus survives, the flames in the world will never go out!

Without the ability to retract the flames, Zeus was furious.

Just like that, all his anger was spilled on the seriously injured Prometheus!

At this time, on the Caucasus Mountain, Prometheus, who was firmly bound by chains, was naked and waiting for the eagle to peck.

All his miseries are only endured for human beings!

Looking at the approaching condor from a distance, listening to the increasingly loud crowing of the approaching eagle.

Prometheus gritted his teeth and spat in disdain.

"Come on, damn bald eagle, just like the past countless years, once again devour my liver greedily!

One day, sooner or later there will be such a day!

My flame and I will escape from this damn prison!

I'm going to kill you stupid bald eagle sooner or later, hehe. "

After sneering, Prometheus opened his eyes, and he planned to stare at his future target while enduring the pain of being pecked at his liver as before.

If he had a chance to escape from this mountain, then his hatred must be vented, definitely! ! !

It's just that while Prometheus continues to wait....

The eagle call from afar suddenly changed its flavor!

"Hey hey?!!"

"Meow meow meow!!!"

The cry of the bald eagle suddenly seemed to be mixed with another voice!

Since the condor was flying on the back of the Caucasus Mountain at this time, Prometheus, whose power was suppressed by the chains, couldn't see what happened.

It's just that after listening to it, he finally remembered it.

That kind of meow-meow-meow-like sound might be the cry of a peacock that he hadn't heard for a long time? ! !

So, this is the condor fighting some peacock who came in from nowhere?

Or…….

Prometheus' eyes suddenly became serious.

He knew that perhaps an uninvited visitor had just arrived on this mountain where he was imprisoned! ! !

And at the moment when Prometheus had guessed, the handsome figure of Hera just stopped in front of Prometheus.

Before Prometheus could speak, Hera couldn't help but sighed first.

"My God, my old friend, I didn't expect that the bastard Zeus wouldn't even give you a piece of clothing!!!"

While cursing, Hera turned sideways and threw a veil on Prometheus without looking at it.

The veil grew larger in an instant, completely covering Prometheus's naked body.

After doing all this, Hera turned her head and smiled at the guarded Prometheus.

Looking at the smiling God Empress, Prometheus's face was full of disdain.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Her Majesty the Queen of Olympus, the beloved wife of the great, just, and benevolent Zeus.

You fucking came to see me, what new game are you thinking of, bitch! ! ! "

After cursing, Prometheus turned his head and didn't bother to look at Hera anymore.

On the side, after being scolded by Prometheus, Hera sighed helplessly.

That's right, she wasn't angry, but just sighed helplessly.

After sighing, Hera said softly.

"My old friend, dear Prometheus, the cold wind on my Caucasus mountain did not take away the burning heat in your heart, and the pain of being pecked by stupid birds day and night did not take away your pride .

I am very happy to see such a you who are no different from the past, I am really happy! "

Having said that, Hera waved her right hand, and the chains that bound Prometheus' whole body were left, and there was only the last chain left.

Feeling the changes in his body, Prometheus was really stunned for a moment. He quickly freed his hands and feet that were now free, and covered his whole body with the veil thrown to him by Hera.

Immediately afterwards, although he had no divine power, he still relied on his own body to climb to the top of the cliff that once bound him along the last chain that tied his right hand.

As soon as he came to the cliff, Prometheus immediately lay down.

"I don't know what your purpose is, and I don't even know what conspiracy you have.

But anyway, damn Zeus's woman, if you come here with good intentions, then you don't mind if I lie down and talk to you.

As for if you come here with deeper malice, haha!

Then it's enough for me to lie down for a while! "

While enjoying the hard-won feeling of lying down that he hadn't experienced for countless years, Prometheus closed his eyes and said to Hera.

After hearing what Prometheus said, Hera slowly flew up, and then landed about five meters away from Prometheus and stood still.

After landing, she explained to Prometheus.

"Old friend, believe me, now I really don't have any malice in my heart.

Before I met you, I thought about using everything I have done now, that is, the conditions that make your life more comfortable, as a leverage to negotiate with you.

But after seeing you, I suddenly realized that Olympus really owes you too much! "

After the words fell, Hera slightly raised her hand towards the distance, and her favorite peacock mount just happened to send the dead condor's body back to the cliff.

While letting the peacock throw the body of the condor aside, Hera continued to speak to Prometheus.

"So, I don't deserve to use everything you should have to negotiate terms with you.

You are a hero, my friend, I shouldn't be blackmailing you with those things, and you are destined not to be blackmailed by me.

So, whether it's your little bit of freedom now, or this is some kind of goddamn condor that's torturing you.

They are all my presents to you! "

"Ha ha!!!"

Suddenly, Prometheus, who was just lying down, jumped up from the ground.

He rushed to the side of the dead Condor with one stride.

Even though the divine power was still sealed by the last chain, Prometheus easily swung the dozens of tons of condor fiercely with his body alone.

After torturing the Condor's body dozens of times in a row, Prometheus, who had vented enough, turned Condor around excitedly.

Then he yanked off the feathers from the condor's belly.

"Fuck, where's your liver, let me see where your liver is!!!

Didn't you eat my liver, then I'll try yours today!

I want to see if my liver tastes better, or your liver tastes better! ! ! "

After the words fell, Prometheus relied on his physique as a Titan god, and forcibly tore open the body of the condor with both hands.

Condor's huge liver was directly pulled out by him!

No flames required, much less cooking!

Facing Xue Linlin's bird liver, Prometheus immediately ate it.

He hasn't eaten for too long, for someone like him who has been hungry for countless years.

Of course it still tastes like shit.

But as long as it's not shit, it's an absolute delicacy in his heart! ! !

On the side, Hera waited quietly for Prometheus, she didn't urge, let alone dissatisfied.

On her face, there were only three points of shyness, three points of apprehension, three points of anticipation, and one point of sympathy for Prometheus.

Holding this sympathy, Prometheus ate for more than 20 minutes before sending the whole condor's liver into his stomach.

After that, Prometheus, covered in bald eagle blood, finally turned to look at Hera who was waiting silently.

"Tell me why you came, Hera, what do you want from me?

If what you want is not too much, then I can basically meet your requirements.

After all, you have already fulfilled the greatest desire in my heart during these years of tortured life!

I really want to go back and eat the liver of this dead bird, the taste of its liver is so good, ahahahaha! ! ! "

Laughing loudly, Prometheus picked up the eagle feathers that he had plucked out, and decorated those feathers on the veil thrown to him by Hera.

Looking at Prometheus who made simple clothes for himself, Hera nodded slightly, and then explained.

"I admit, I did come to see you with a purpose.

But rest assured, my old friend.

I will not continue to hurt you, and I will not deceive you, or continue to torture you.

All I want is to borrow a fire with you.

That is, the great flame that you once took off from the Helios sun chariot, and then buried in your heart and sent to the human world, mutated due to years of human sacrifices and your emotions!

Of course, I don't need all of them.

I just need you to lend me a small part of that fire!

I don't know what you need, but I promise.

As long as your reasons are not excessive, then I can definitely satisfy your request.

At the same time, you will also get my sincere thanks! "
