Athena was just passing by.
Well, not purely passing by either.
She had just returned from the world, and she originally wanted to talk to Zeus
about something - the thunder just now, the heavens and the earth changed color, and thousands of thunders came out in unison, frightening the humans below
thinking that divine punishment was coming, and now they are frantically engaged in sacrifices. Cattle and sheep were slaughtered, and the fireworks on the altar
were so thick that they blackened the sky. 1r5Rp
As the goddess of wisdom, Athena felt that this was a bit inappropriate.
The gods are certainly high, but they also shoulder the responsibility of guiding humans. Zeus thundered so freely, patted his buttocks and left, leaving the people
below to guess in fear - is this like what a god king should do?
So she came, and she had to ask what old Biden was doing.
She walked to the steps in front of the temple, and before she could speak, she
saw the scene in front of her. 1r5Rp
Zeus was blocked at the door by Hera and retreated steadily. Hera put her hands on her hips, her momentum like a rainbow. Behind the surrounding corridor
pillars, there were several figures hiding their heads and brains, but none of them dared to come out.
Athena stopped.
Her otherwise calm eyes hung up slightly, turning into an indescribable
expression.
Disgust. 1r5Rp
Contempt.
Athena understood, understood. Her eyes fell on Zeus, from that iron face, to the eyes that tried to reason but couldn't speak, and then to the feet that were forced
to retreat step by step.
The corners of the Goddess of Wisdom's mouth twitched slightly.
It's those bad things again, the children born run all over the ground, causing
trouble all over the sky. And every time something happens, it is this virtue. was
blocked and scolded by Hera, was blocked to speak, and then looked around for someone to save the scene. 1r5Rp
As a virgin goddess, she naturally looked down on Zeus's behavior. Can't control yourself, cause trouble and make things unfair, and finally have someone else
clean up the mess - what is this called?
But at the same time, there is another layer of emotions.
A deeper layer.
Athena has never been a good girl. 1r5Rp
She was born from Zeus' own brain.
Zeus swallowed her mother Metis, and then one day he had a splitting head, and
Hephaestus split his head with an axe, and she jumped out fully armed.
Since the day she was born, she has never had the experience of "acting
coquettishly in her mother's arms".
bright.
Her relationship with Zeus has always been complicated.
They are father and daughter, and also rivals in some sense.
She respected his power, but looked down on his character. She acknowledged he was a god-king, but didn't think he was truly that great.
If it wasn't really impossible to beat——
Athena lowered her eyelashes, concealing the fleeting glint in her eyes.
If she weren't truly outmatched, she might have staged a coup at Xuanwu Gate at any time.
It's a pity that I can't beat it now.
So I can only think about it.
Just then, Zeus's voice came: 1r5Rp
"Athena!"
Athena raised her head and met Zeus's eyes, which seemed to see a savior.
Dislike it? Put it away.
Disdain? Keep it hidden. 1r5Rp
In just a moment, the expression on her face had completely disappeared.
The goddess of wisdom certainly knew what it meant to assess the situation and act accordingly.
At a time like this, why not lend Zeus a hand and do him a favor?
As for what one thinks in one's heart, that's a matter of the heart.
Athena walked over, her steps were composed, her posture elegant, and her expression just right.
"Father God," she began, her voice calm, "Mother God."
Hera turned around and saw that it was Athena who had come. The anger on her face subsided slightly.
Athena wasn't one of those bastards she couldn't be bothered with. She was the universally acknowledged goddess of wisdom on Olympus, and Zeus's most beloved...
One of the children Hera valued, and someone Hera herself was at least outwardly willing to give some face to.
What?"
"Athena," Hera's voice still carried lingering anger, but it was no longer as sharp as before, "what are you doing here?"
"Just returned from the human world," Athena said, her gaze casually sweeping over Zeus's relieved face. "Now..."
The sacrificial smoke is too loud; I was thinking of speaking to the Father God. But now it seems the time isn't right.
She spoke these words in a calm tone. But her eyes, out of Hera's sight, glanced at Zeus.
Zeus glanced at her. He didn't notice the subtle look; he simply felt Athena's arrival was perfectly timed.
"Athena!" he called again, this time with a clear plea for help, "You've come at the perfect time! You've come..."
Please give your opinion! 1r5Rp
"Don't you think Hera is being unreasonable?!"
He said this with a tone full of anticipation.
He was really looking forward to it.
Athena was his daughter, his most beloved child, and the universally acknowledged goddess of wisdom in Olympus. She would surely understand his predicament and use her intelligence to devise a way to extricate him from his current predicament.
1r5Rp
The goddess of wisdom silently rolled her eyes in her heart. But on her face, she maintained that perfectly measured calm.
Then she spoke.
"God the Father."
Her voice was calm and unhurried.
"I think you're in the wrong."
Zeus nodded: "You see, right Hera? I knew it—hmm?"
His voice trailed off. Then he slowly turned his head to look at Athena, his face filled with confusion.
"What did you say?"
"I said, this is your fault, Father God," Athena repeated, her tone still calm and unhurried.
The appearance of "the Mother Goddess being angry is perfectly reasonable."
Zeus was stunned. He had summoned Athena to help, to settle scores, to speak on his behalf—why did she suddenly appear?
Is it your own fault?
I haven't even said what happened yet and you're already saying I'm wrong?
"Athena, you—"1r5Rp
"Father God," Athena interrupted him, her eyes calmly fixed on him, "I ask you, when you were pursuing Mother Goddess, did you swear an oath to be forever faithful to her?"
Zeus opened his mouth: "Those are all—"
"It happened thousands of years ago, I know." Athena nodded, "But a vow is a vow, once it's made, it's made."
"Does that mean thousands of years don't count? Then when humans worship us, can they also say that the worship from thousands of years ago doesn't count today?"
Zeus was speechless.
"And another thing," Athena continued, "the Mother Goddess is the goddess of marriage, the queen of the gods. Father God, you're always away from home."
Where does this leave the Mother Goddess's face? Where does this leave Olympus's face? How do those humans below feel?
look?"
Her tone remained calm, but Zeus felt as if his daughter was cursing him.
"The Mother Goddess is angry because she has the right to be angry. Any other woman, whose husband is always out there cheating on her..."
They wouldn't greet you with a smile if you came. The Mother Goddess has been incredibly magnanimous to have tolerated this for so many years.
Hera listened intently, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.
She glanced at Athena, then at Zeus, and a slow smile curved her lips.
Zeus stood there in a daze, looking at Athena's calm face, and didn't know what
to say for a while. I found a helper for the other side.
At this time, Hera stepped forward, took Athena's arm, and pulled her to stand
beside him.
Then she looked up and looked at Zeus. 1r5Rp
thebo The toes are high.
"Come on." Hera said, with an uncontrollable smile in her voice, "You continue to
comment." I'm listening."
Athena stood next to her, her face still had that calm expression, but this time
Athena winked at Zeus, and this time Zeus noticed.
