Chapter 1974: Fate (Please give me a monthly ticket!!! Please subscribe!!!)

Hera, the Queen of Heaven - although this name is not known to everyone on Earth, it is still quite well-known. After all, ancient Greek mythology is still very popular, and in some ways, it is even more popular than Norse mythology. After all, ancient Greece has always been considered the starting point of modern European culture.

Ancient Greek mythology is not only a subjective fantasy invented by the Greeks, but also a soil for art, nourishing countless works and becoming a 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 spread through various forms such as painting, sculpture, and literature, and have been deeply rooted in people's hearts. In contrast, although Norse mythology also has its own unique charm and influence, ancient Greek mythology has an advantage in the breadth and depth of its dissemination.

In comparison, Norse mythology is much less popular.

The excavation and study of Norse mythology was relatively late, and in the process of the conquest of Germanic culture by Greek and 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 wide influence of ancient Greek mythology. The influence of ancient Greek mythology is not limited to its native land, but through cultural exchanges and religious dissemination in Europe, it has affected a wider range of regions and people.

The same is true on this Earth where Kai is. Before the appearance of Thor, the god of thunder, ancient Greek mythology was more deeply rooted in people's hearts, and after the appearance of Thor, the Norse mythology craze was aroused! (In fact, we can also see something from the comic book settings. For example, when DC and Marvel describe ancient Greek mythology, they never make mistakes in the relationship between mythological characters. But when it comes to Norse mythology, Loki becomes Thor's younger brother... He is obviously of the same generation as Odin. Later, the Avengers movie made Thor popular, and it seemed that Norse mythology was circulated everywhere all of a sudden. However, in terms of actual popularity, ancient Greek mythology is more deeply rooted in people's hearts. Perhaps this is also the case, which makes the film and television dramas about the ancient Greek gods less satisfactory... Just like our Journey to the West, it is too popular, resulting in any version of Journey to the West being criticized. After all, the more widely this kind of story is spread, the deeper the impression people have of it, and it is difficult for film and television dramas to restore this impression. In fact, the 86 version of Journey to the West, which is now considered to be the best filmed, is also because it carries too many childhood filters. If you look at the following versions, they are basically all bad reviews... Especially Zhang Jizhong's version of Journey to the West... To be honest, if I hadn't looked up the information, I would have really forgotten this version. By the way, the author has never seen this version at all)

Hera, in the mythology of the Earth, is the third generation of the 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 the second generation of gods and queens, Cronus and Rhea, a co-ruler with Zeus, and Zeus's sister and seventh wife. She and Zeus had Hephaestus, Ares, Hebe, and Eileithyia together. The corresponding queen in Roman mythology is Juno.

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

This is vividly reflected in the myth. After Zeus and Hera got married, Zeus often left Mount Olympus without his wife Hera's knowledge and went down to the earth to meet with the water nymphs. When Hera found out, she was furious that she was abandoned by her husband and decided to leave Mount Olympus and never go back. After hearing the news, Zeus thought about how to save his relationship with Hera, so he thought of a way. He spread the news that he was going to marry a fairy with bright eyes as the queen of heaven, but in fact, the bride Zeus mentioned was a puppet. After Zeus put beautiful clothes on the puppet, he let it sit in a colorful carriage pulled by several big cows and walk through the streets. When Hera learned that her husband was going to marry another bride to replace her, she was very angry about her husband's shameless behavior of infidelity. She came to the colorful carriage pulled by cows and fought with the bride Zeus mentioned, and tore her opponent's gorgeous clothes into rags. When she tore off the bride's veil, Hera was shocked to find that the bride was just a puppet. Later, Hera laughed so hard that she forgave Zeus and returned to Mount Olympus with Zeus laughing.

It's the image of a housewife.

The type that modern fairies would hate so much that their teeth would itch.

In fact, in real history, Hera was indeed like this. After all, even in the gods, the status of men and women is the same.

But all that has changed.

After the gods left the earth collectively... or to be more precise, after Hera met a stranger when they were taking revenge on Zeus.

A serious rift arose between Hera and Zeus.

Even in the world of the universe that worships the Olympian gods, the story of the relationship between Zeus and Hera has undergone fundamental changes.

Zeus and Hera often do not appear as a couple.

Hera's status in modern mythology is more like that 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 empress 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 becoming 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 she 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.

Most of the time she exists independently and is worshipped by others.

They would not regard her as someone's vassal. (The Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor are a couple, 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, the first reaction is that she is the Jade Emperor's wife.)

This is somewhat the case with Hera's current position in the Olympian pantheon.

She still shared power with Zeus, but was no longer his vassal.

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 wife of the male protagonist in Qiong Yao's novels. In fact, it is quite unfair. When did beating the mistress become a sin? 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 on her. 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 everything. 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 of Hera is not like this. In the universe, the mythical Hera has never been involved in such a bloody plot.

Instead, she emerges as a majestic and benevolent figure, the chief goddess, the protector of women and family, with her own independent cult and temple, and, in Earth terms, the embodiment of extreme feminism.

She didn't even live with Zeus.

Zeus had been in the Almighty, and she had been in the heavenly star she had created 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 Paradise Star is in this style, full of feminine aesthetics, but grand.

The reason why Hera is so different from the myth.

It all started from the time 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 deity that Kai came into contact with was Athena.

In those days, Kai traveled from Northern Europe to the East and came to the territory of ancient Greece. At that time, a war was going on. The city-states that believed in Ares were fighting against the city-states that believed in Athena.

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

But Ares' followers are just as barbaric and cruel as he is.

If you want to fight, you should fight. Why massacre the city and sacrifice it? It's a bit too much to not even spare women and children. Kai encountered this situation at that time. He had no intention of intervening, but he defeated 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 are actually very boring. After all, they can't really do anything to each other. It's just followers fighting each other. Athena hates this kind of game very much. Although she is also a god of war, she is not very warlike. After all, she is not only a god of war. But Ares is not like that. This grandson is the god of war and is crazy about fighting. Often when the city-states under Athena are better built, this guy comes to make trouble.

But, we are all family, we can talk big, but we can't really do anything to Ares. What about Ares? He can fail countless times, after all, it is easy for a mob to gather together, but Athena is a farming player. Once she loses a game, all her previous efforts will be in vain.

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

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

With the help of Athena, Kai beat Ares up.

Ares naturally did not want to be beaten, so he reported it to Zeus. Outsiders are attacking!

Zeus didn't take it seriously... After all, Zeus always favored Athena. After all, his daughter was much smarter than his brainless son. But someone was not happy - 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. Hera felt that he was beneath her dignity because he was born lame, so she threw him off Mount Olympus. Later, Hephaestus became a skilled blacksmith and made many exquisite objects for the gods. He once sent a golden chair to his mother in revenge, and when Hera sat on it, she could not get up again. In order to save Hera, Zeus promised to give Hephaestus a beautiful wife and let him return to Mount Olympus. Hephaestus got the goddess of love Aphrodite as his wife and reconciled with his mother.

Hebe is Hera's favorite daughter. She is a symbol of youth and beauty, and one of the maidens of the gods. She once appeared as a flower girl when Zeus and Hera got married. The two sons she gave birth to with Zeus: Yaolos and Electrion, are both heroes and kings.

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

This myth is not false, Hera really loved Ares the most.

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

Could a parent ask for anything more from their children? No. This is simply a perfect son.

So when Hera saw her son being beaten by an outsider, who was helped by Athena, and her husband was partial to her, she angrily went to Kay to settle the score.

Athena knew that she was in trouble. After all, Ares being beaten and Hera being beaten were two completely different things.

So Athena hid Kay in her skirt, well, in her skirt. By the way, here's a little-known fact: the Olympians are much taller than normal people. So the skirt can completely hide people. Another little-known fact is that women at that time did not wear underwear when wearing long robes and skirts. (Ancient Greece had underwear, but it was for the convenience of sports or fighting).

Kai saw everything in there.

Kay escaped, after all, Hera would never lift Athena's skirt.

Kai escaped.

Hera was looking for the lunatic who hurt her son, but she accidentally saw Zeus cheating... Then Hera was furious and wanted to kill the mistress. But Zeus stopped her. In order to calm Hera's anger.

Zeus decisively sold Kai out... In his opinion, sacrificing a stranger to please his wife was a very worthwhile thing to do.

Then Kai got into trouble.

Although with the help of Athena, Kai managed to escape danger.

But this is not a solution. 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 a waiter in the Garden of the Gods. The Olympus domain was very large. And Zeus... this guy definitely didn't have the leisure to go to the garden. Whenever he had time, he would go out and eat.

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

One day, Zeus' old illness came back and Hera knew 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. She happened to meet Kay.

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

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

He just brought out the female boxing techniques of later generations when he was serving Hera. As expected, when Hera heard it, it was like an epiphany. You know, although the gods are powerful, if you really say that they are omniscient and omnipotent, that is pure nonsense. They are just some powerful people.

It has all the advantages and disadvantages that a person should have!

It's a pity that Zeus is really hopeless. Even such a beautiful wife like Hera can't control him. It seems like this guy is addicted.

The relationship between the couple is getting worse and worse.

And Hera goes further and further on the road of female boxing.

Then after another quarrel, Hera decided to take revenge... and Kai was ravaged... Really, Kai tried to resist. But he failed.

What a bad fate!
