Chapter 1974: Fate (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!!)

Queen Hera—Although this name is not known to everyone on Earth, it is still quite well-known. After all, ancient Greek mythology is actually very widespread, and to some extent, it is even more popular than Nordic mythology. After all, ancient Greece has long been considered the starting point of modern European culture.

Ancient Greek mythology is not only a subjective fantasy created by the Greeks, but also became the soil of art, nourished countless works, and became the precious spiritual wealth left by Greece to mankind. Stories in ancient Greek mythology, such as the story of Helen, have become the source of inspiration for countless artistic creations. These stories have been widely disseminated through various forms such as paintings, sculptures, and literature, and are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In contrast, although Nordic mythology also has its own unique charm and influence, ancient Greek mythology has the advantage in terms of the breadth and depth of its spread.

In comparison, Norse mythology is much more niche.

The excavation and research of Norse mythology was relatively late, and during the process of the conquest of Germanic culture by Greco-Roman culture and the spread of Christianity, Norse mythology was forgotten for a period of time. It was not rediscovered until the 17th century, which is in sharp contrast to the long history and widespread influence of ancient Greek mythology. The influence of ancient Greek mythology is not limited to its native land, but has affected a wider range of regions and people through cultural exchanges and religious dissemination in Europe.

The same is true on this earth where Kai is. Before Thor, the god of thunder, appeared in front of the world, ancient Greek mythology became more popular among the people. After Thor appeared, it started the craze of Nordic mythology! (In fact, we can also tell something from the comic settings. For example, when DC and Marvel describe ancient Greek mythology, they never get the relationship between mythical characters wrong. But when it comes to Nordic mythology, Loki He just became Thor's younger brother...Others are obviously the younger brothers with Odin. A generation later, the Avengers movie made Thor popular, and now Norse mythology seemed to be spreading everywhere. But in terms of actual popularity, ancient Greek mythology is more deeply rooted in people's hearts. Movies and TV shows about ancient Greek goddesses are not that exciting People are satisfied... Just like our Journey to the West, it has been so widely circulated that any edition of Journey to the West has been criticized. After all, the more widely this kind of story spreads, the deeper the impression it will have on people's minds. Movies and TV series It’s difficult to restore this impression. In fact, it is now considered the best shot of 86 version of Journey to the West is also because it carries too many childhood filters. If you look at the following versions, there are basically a lot of negative reviews...especially Zhang Jizhong's version of Journey to the West...To be honest, if I hadn't looked up the information, I really forgot about this edition. By the way, the author has never read this edition.)

Hera, in the mythology on the other side of the earth, is the third-generation Queen of Heaven in ancient Greek mythology. She is also the goddess of marriage and fertility and one of the twelve main gods of Olympus. The daughter of Cronus and Rhea, the second-generation god-king and queen, a co-ruler who shares power with Zeus, and the sister and seventh wife of Zeus. Together with Zeus, she had Hephaestus, Ares, Hebe and Eletia. The counterpart in Roman mythology is Juno.

Although important, he is more of a vassal of Zeus.

This is most vividly reflected in the myth. After Zeus and Hera got married, Zeus often left Mount Olympus with his wife Hera on his back, and went down to earth to have private meetings with the water nymphs. When Hera found out, she became furious because she thought she had been abandoned by her husband, and decided to leave Olympus. Peace Mountain, never go back. After hearing the news, Zeus thought about how to restore his relationship with Hera, so Zeus thought of a way. He released the news that he would remarry a bright-eyed fairy as the queen of heaven, but in fact the bride Zeus mentioned was A puppet man. After Zeus put beautiful clothes on the puppet, he let it sit in a colorful cart pulled by several big cows and travel throughout the streets. When Hera learned that her husband was going to marry another bride to replace her, she was very angry at her husband's shameless act of infidelity. She came to the colorful chariot drawn by oxen and fought against the bride whom Zeus had spoken of, tearing her opponent's gorgeous clothes into rags. When she tore off the bride's veil, Hera was shocked and realized that the bride was just a puppet. Later, Hera laughed about it, forgave Zeus, and returned to Mount Olympus laughing with Zeus.

It is the image of a housewife.

A typical example of a modern little fairy whose teeth itch with hatred when she sees him.

In fact, in real history, Hera did the same. After all, even in the God Clan, the status of men and women is the same.

But all that has changed.

After the gods collectively left the earth... to be precise, after Hera met a stranger while taking revenge on Zeus.

There was a serious schism between Hera and Zeus.

Even in the world that believes in the Olympus Gods in the universe, the rumored relationship between Zeus and Hera has undergone fundamental changes.

Zeus and Hera often did not appear as husband and wife.

Hera's status in modern mythology is more like the status of the Queen Mother of the West in ancient Chinese mythology.

In ancient Chinese mythology, the Queen Mother of the West is not the Queen Mother, nor is she the Queen of the Jade Emperor. The Queen Mother of the West is also known as the Queen Mother, the Golden Mother, the Old Mother of Yaochi, the Golden Mother of Xichi, the Fairy Mother, etc. The reason why she is called the Queen Mother of the West is that the Queen Mother lives on the West Peak of Kunlun Mountain, and the King of the East lives on the East Peak, so there are the Queen Mother of the West and the King of the East. In mythology and legends, all immortals who have cultivated to become immortals, the first step to become immortals, male immortals must worship the King of the East, and female immortals must worship the Queen Mother of the West first. In other words, the Queen Mother of the West is the head of the female immortals and is in charge of the power of the sky. In Taoism, the Queen Mother of the West has also become the supreme goddess of Taoism.

Many times she exists independently and is worshipped by people.

She will not be regarded as someone's vassal. (The Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor are a couple, in fact, it is thanks to Journey to the West... This thing has been spread too widely. As a result, when people talk about the Queen Mother of the West now, the first reaction is that she is the Jade Emperor's wife)

The current status of Hera in the Olympus pantheon is a bit like this.

She still shares power with Zeus, but is no longer a vassal of Zeus.

On Earth, Hera's image in mythology is not very good. She always appears as a villain and a jealous shrew. Hera's image in mythology is a bit like the vicious original wife of the male protagonist in Qiong Yao's novels. In fact, it is quite unfair to say that when did beating the mistress become a crime? What's more interesting is that no matter how Zeus plays outside, Hera remains loyal and never cheats.

In Earth mythology, Hera attaches great importance to her marriage and is a defender of monogamy. She will never allow her husband to be unfaithful to her. However, Hera is very loyal and has never cheated. Once, Ixion fell in love with Hera and said some obscene sweet words to her in private. Not only was Hera unmoved, but she also told Zeus all about it. Later, Zeus used dark clouds to create the illusion of Hera to test whether what Hera said was true. Sure enough, when Ixion saw the fake Hera, he tried to be rude to her. The angry Zeus immediately sent Ixion to the underworld to receive cruel punishment.

But in the universe, the myth about Hera is not like this. In the universe, the mythical Hera has never been involved in such a bloody plot.

On the contrary, she appears as a majestic and kind image. She is the head of the goddess, the protector of women and family. She has her own independent sect and temple. In the words of the earth, she is the embodiment of extreme feminism.

She doesn't even live with Zeus.

Zeus has been in the city of omnipotence, while she has been staying in the paradise star she built for herself and her followers.

Everything here was built by Hera according to her own ideas. Just like her image, beautiful but not vulgar, gorgeous but dignified. The whole Heaven Star is in this style, full of female aesthetics, but grand.

The reason why Hera is so different from the myth.

It has to start from when Kai angered Zeus.

It should be said that Kai and Hera actually had no intersection at the beginning. This is also, whose queen can meet outsiders casually.

The first Olympian god Kai came into contact with was Athena.

Back then, Kai went east from Northern Europe and came to the territory of ancient Greece. At that time, a war was going on. The city-state that believed in Ares was fighting with the city-state that believed in Athena.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Kai, and he would not intervene in such disputes under normal circumstances. Anyway, he knew both sides.

But Ares's believers were as barbaric and cruel as him.

If you want to fight, you fight, why do you do massacres and sacrifices! It's a bit too much to not even let go of women and children. Kai encountered this situation at that time. He had no intention of intervening, but he overturned Ares' army in a rage.

At that time, the gods would not hide in the 'sky', but would walk on the earth.

So Athena noticed Kai, a stranger.

The disputes between gods and gods are actually very boring. After all, they can't really do anything to each other. It's just that followers fight there. Athena hates this kind of game very much. Although she is also a god of war, she is not very warlike. After all, she has more than just the priesthood of war, but Ares is not. This grandson is the god of war and is fanatically fond of fighting. Often when the city-states under Athena are better built, this guy comes to make trouble.

But it happens that everyone is a family. They can talk big, but they can't really do anything to Ares. What about Ares? He can fail countless times. After all, the mob can easily gather together, but Athena is a farming player. Once she loses a game, all the previous efforts will be in vain.

So Athena is very troubled, and Kai's arrival at this time gave her an opportunity.

She asked the stranger to defeat Ares and make him quiet down.

With the help of Athena, Kay beat Ares up.

Ares naturally did not want to be beaten, so he reported it to Zeus. The outsider is coming!

Zeus did not take it seriously... After all, Zeus has always been biased towards Athena. After all, compared to his brainless son, his daughter is much smarter. But someone refused to do it - Hera!

Hera and Zeus had four children together: Ares, the god of war, Hephaestus, the god of fire, Hebe, the goddess of youth, and Eileithyia, the goddess of childbirth.

In mythology, Hephaestus was Hera's least favorite son because he was born lame. Hera thought he was beneath her dignity, so she threw him off Mount Olympus. Later, Hephaestus became a skilled blacksmith and made many exquisite artifacts for the gods. He once gave her a golden chair to retaliate against his mother. When Hera sat on it, she could not get up again. In order to rescue Hera, Zeus promised to give Hephaestus a beautiful wife and let him return to Mount Olympus. Hephaestus got Aphrodite, the goddess of love, as his wife and reconciled with his mother.

Hebe was the favorite daughter of Hera, a symbol of youth and beauty, and one of the maids of the gods. She once appeared as a flower girl at the wedding of Zeus and Hera. Her two sons with Zeus: Yaolos and Electrion, are both heroes and kings.

Among them, Ares was Hera's favorite son. She often stood up for him. During the Trojan War, she supported Ares to help the Greeks against the Trojans. When Ares was injured by Athena, Hera immediately went to comfort him and brought him back to Olympus for treatment.

This myth is not nonsense, Hera did like Ares the most.

Because in Hera's eyes, Ares was her most perfect son. He was strong and handsome. Although he was not smart enough, he was better than obedient and filial.

Do parents have higher requirements for their children? there is none left. This is a perfect son.

So when he saw his son being beaten by an outsider, it was Athena, an 'outsider', who brought in a helper, and as a result, his husband was partial to him. So Hera angrily went to find Kai to settle the score.

Athena knew she was going to suffer. After all, Ares being beaten and Hera being beaten were completely different things.

So Athena hid Kai in her skirt, well, just in her skirt. By the way, a little trivia: the Olympians are much taller than normal people. So the skirt can completely hide people. Another piece of trivia is that women at that time did not wear underwear when wearing robes and skirts. (There were underwear in ancient Greece, but they were all for the convenience of exercise or fighting).

Kai saw everything in there.

Kai escaped, after all, Hera couldn't lift Athena's skirt.

Kai escaped death.

Hera went around looking for the madman who injured her son, but she accidentally saw Zeus eating... Then Hera became furious and wanted to kill the mistress. But Zeus stopped her. To appease Hera's anger.

Zeus decisively sold Kai... In his opinion, sacrificing a stranger to please his wife was a very cost-effective thing.

Then Kai was unlucky.

Although with the help of Athena, Kai had a close call.

But there is no way to continue like this. The God King is much more powerful than the God of War. So Athena used her intelligence and wisdom. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Olympus, the divine realm where the gods live, is the safest place.

She made Kai an attendant in the Garden of the Gods, a vast domain of Olympus. And Zeus... this guy definitely doesn't have the time to go to the garden. He goes out to eat when he has time.

To be honest, the garden environment is really nice. It's a great place to rest.

As a result, one day, Zeus's old habit broke out and Hera found out about it again. Hera was very angry, but due to the constraints of her inherent ideas, she had no choice but to go to the garden to sulk. I happened to bump into Kai.

She didn't recognize Kai...after all, the Queen had never seen Kai.

Kai was shocked at the time, but then he decided to take revenge on Zeus and Hera. Of course, he is not so shameless as to steal someone else's wife.

He just brought out the female boxing techniques of later generations while serving Hera. Sure enough, when Hera heard it, she felt like she was enlightened. You know, although the gods are powerful, if you really want to say that they are omniscient and omnipotent, that is pure nonsense. They are just powerful people.

All the advantages and disadvantages that a person should have!

It's a pity that Zeus is really hopeless. Even such a beautiful wife as Hera can't control him. I feel that this grandson is addicted.

The relationship between the two couples is getting worse and worse.

And Hera is going further and further on the road to female boxing.

Then after another argument, Hera decided to take revenge...and Kai was ravaged...really, Kai tried to fight back. It's just that I haven't resisted.

What a bad fate!
