[Greek Mythology] Prince of Zeus

Zeus kissed Ganymedes' curly hair and promised Ganymedes to leave.

Ganymedes then rushed to Mount Ida, keeping a distance from the three goddesses so as not to let himself be discovered, so as not to cause misunderstanding that he wanted to compete with the three goddesses for the golden apple.

Ganymedes saw Athena, Hera and Aphrodite walking in front of him looking for someone, he stopped and turned around and looked around, thinking that Mount Ida was so huge that the three goddesses wanted to find them. No.1 to judge who is the most beautiful goddess, it will probably take some time.

Ganymedes thought that it would be better for him to buy an old man who had nothing to do with Troy to judge, instead of being judged by Paris, who was herding sheep. Maybe Troy could be saved from this unprovoked disaster.

This Mount Ida is more familiar with the three goddesses than the three goddesses, and knows where to find a figure faster, and even an old man who has nothing to do with Troy.

Ganymedes thought about it, and immediately found an old man with a blink of an eye, and promised him that he would reward him with a generous gift.

"Hard-working old man, please stop what you are doing and do me a favor." Ganymedes said when he came to a wooden house.

Hearing the sound, the old man put down the hatchet in his hand, looked up and saw a blond young man standing in front of him, and said kindly: "Beautiful young man, is there anything I, an old man, can help you with? Lost in the mountains? Or lost your beloved lamb?"

Ganymedes shook his head and said: "I'm sorry I can't tell you who I am, but I really need your help, and you will get a generous gift from it. In exchange, you can't mention me to anyone. I want to take you to see the three goddesses, it will be your honor to meet them. You have to pretend to be a passing old man who is completely ignorant. They will propose you to be the judge and judge which of them is the most beautiful Goddess."

"..." The old man watched Ganymedes finish his words, and he already had some idea of ​​the identity of the beautiful young man in front of him. This young man was so beautiful that he was not like a human being, he must be a noble god .And he certainly had no reason to reject a noble god.

The old man responded and agreed to Ganymedes' request for help.

Ganymedes covered the old man's eyes, and immediately led the old man to Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite, for fear of wasting a little more time and missing the opportunity to avoid disaster.

On the one side, the old man whispered in his ear: "Later, you will select the queen Hera as the most beautiful goddess. This is the safest way to deal with this matter."

In this way, even if Athena and Aphrodite have complaints and dissatisfaction, they can't do anything wrong with the queen Hera who got the golden apple.

At most, I can only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.

Ganymedes led the old man to the rear of Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite. Looking at their figures, they really haven't found No. 1 as they saw.You still have time.

Ganymedes breathed a sigh of relief, he moved fairly quickly, and it didn't take much time to go back and forth.

Ganymedes patted the old man on the shoulder to give him confidence, and nodded to the old man, telling him to do what he said.

The old man found a branch as a crutch, walked out of the woods where he was hiding, and walked to the path.

The old man moved forward a few steps swiftly—he, who has been chopping firewood in the mountains for a living all year round, walked faster than the three goddesses who were carefully looking for figures.

When he was getting closer to the three goddesses, there was a snap, and the old man cried out in pain and fell down on the road.

Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite looked back when they heard the sound, and saw an old man fall to the ground.

The old man's cry of pain caught the attention of the three goddesses.

Athens said: "It's an old man on the road. He fell down. Let us go over to see if he is injured. After helping him, let him judge who is the most beautiful goddess and who belongs to this golden apple. He is our The No.1 I saw."

Athena said, and walked towards the old man.

When Athena bent down and was about to check whether the old man's foot was sprained, Hera, the queen of heaven, strode forward and took Athena's hand, and said in a language that only gods could hear: "It's not fair to pretend to be a wise goddess of wisdom. I want to use this small trick to win the favor of the judge and let him choose you."

Aphrodite came over, looked at the old man, and said clearly: "We shouldn't let this old man be the judge."

"Why can't this old man be the judge?" Athena asked, pulling her hand away from Hera.

Aphrodite said: "Although we said that whoever is the most beautiful goddess is judged by the first person I saw on Mount Ida, this golden apple should belong to whom. But look, this is an old man, How can he judge beauty if he is already old and dim-witted?"

After hearing this, Hera felt reasonable, and said, "Yes, if he is not beautiful himself, how can he judge the beauty of others?"

Ganymedes hid behind the bushes, and seeing this scene, he couldn't help being very angry. Is it possible that I have found the wrong person, and I have to find a beautiful boy to judge you? !

They are really goddesses who don't speak words.

"It's not a matter of saying nothing, but since you want to be a judge, the other party must have the ability and qualifications to judge," Aphrodite explained her proposal, "it's better to say that this old man can't even count" Man', he has one foot in the grave, he's just an old man. Then of course it's not the No.1 we saw on Mount Ida."

"The judging of the golden apples is of great importance. An old man with dizzy eyes must not be allowed to make random judgments. Look, he can't even walk well, so what can he do well?" Hera continued.

How rude.Looking at the goddesses, Ganymedes thought in his heart that he actually said that in front of the old man.For a golden apple, I am serious about this.

At this moment, the sound of the piano suddenly came from behind the goddesses.

The goddesses turned around and saw a handsome young man plucking the strings and driving a few white sheep past the front.

Aphrodite's eyes lit up, and she immediately said: "Look, this is the No.1 we saw, this is a handsome young man who is suitable to be our judge. His eyes must be as bright and clear as spring water , he will be able to judge fairly and justly who is the most beautiful goddess and who this golden apple belongs to."

"Okay." Athena replied.

The three goddesses went to the young man shepherding the sheep.

Seeing that his task had failed, the old man threw away his stick, got up by himself, and walked into the bushes on one side.

Ganymedes was so angry that he crushed the ground under his feet, tore off a gold leaf that adorned his waist, and threw it to the old man, telling him to go home without saying a word about it.

Ganymedes hid in the bushes and followed closely to see the situation.He had never met Paris before, so he didn't know what Paris looked like, and now he only wished that this young shepherd should not be Paris.

"My name is Paris." The shepherd was stopped by the three beautiful goddesses, stopped and answered their questions.

As soon as Ganymedes approached, he heard this sentence, and was so angry that he swallowed blood, Paris, who is evil!Maybe he should know that fate will not let Troy go so easily.

Ganymedes took a deep breath and did not reveal his hidden figure, so he could only watch the changes and think of a solution.

After learning the name and identity of the shepherd, the three goddesses said, "Paris, handsome young man, we want you to judge for us."

"This is my honor. May I ask what kind of judgment it is?" Paris pressed the sheep's back, sat back, sat on the sheep, and asked with interest.

I don't know that this statement will lead to the disaster of destroying the country.

"We want you to judge who is the most beautiful goddess, and who should this golden apple belong to." The three goddesses said, and put the golden apple into Paris' hands.

Athena said: "I am Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war."

"I am Hera, the Queen of Heaven." Hera said.

"I am Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty." Aphrodite said, "This golden apple should belong to me."

Paris sat on the sheep's back, his face turned pale with interest, and was startled by the three goddesses in front of him, and almost fell off the sheep's back.

He didn't expect that he was asked to judge this kind of thing. Although he grew up in Mount Ida, he also knew that women are the most serious about beauty, and goddesses are no exception.

This should allow him to judge who is the most beautiful goddess?Looking at him, the three goddesses are all beautiful.

The three goddesses saw Paris's thoughtful look.

Hera was the first to lose her composure, and said, "Choose me, and I will give you supreme authority."

Athens glanced at Hera and said, "Choose me, and I will give you the most intelligent mind."

Aphrodite looked at Hera and Athena, and seeing what the two goddesses said, she refused to admit defeat and said, "Choose me, and I will give you Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, as your wife."

Dirty judgement, this is clearly a bribery deal.Ganymedes knew that this was the development of the trajectory of fate, and bit his lip, wondering how to prevent Paris from accepting bribes and choosing Aphrodite.

Nowadays, no one in the world knows Helen's good name.Paris smiled and said, "Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, you are the embodiment of beauty, and of course you are the most beautiful goddess. This golden apple should belong to you."

Aphrodite took the golden apple from Paris's hand with a smile, glanced at the other two goddesses, and said clearly with the pride in her eyes, right?

After receiving this judgment, Athena and Hera were naturally unhappy.

Hera's resentment towards Troy was given a new layer of hatred.This hateful Trojan must have chosen Aphrodite as the most beautiful goddess because of Aphrodite's bribe!The Trojans were always against her.

Ganymedes decided to go back to Mount Olympus before making any plans for this long-known judgment result.

I know in my heart that war is coming.
