, Gods of Olympus
Before the universe existed, everything was turbid, shadowless and formless. There is no sky, no earth, no air, just dark chaos. This chaos is called Chaos. He and his wife, Nyx, the goddess of the night, rule everything. They gave birth to darkness and called it Erebus. After a long time, Chaos and Xix got tired of the work of ruling, so they asked the god of darkness, their son Erebus, to help manage it. Erebus took the opportunity to overthrow his father. He married his mother and had two beautiful and beautiful children - Light and Day. The light is called Phoebe, and the day is called Melos.
Light and day also rose up and overthrew Erebus Erebus, who came to rule and let their son Eros, who was love, come to help. Together they created the ocean Oceanus and the earth Gaia. Eros gave the earth grass, trees, flowers, beasts, etc.; he gave the ocean all kinds of swimming fish and shrimps.
The earth Gaia itself gave birth to the god Uranus. The god Uranus united with his mother Gaia and gave birth to 6 monsters. The gods were afraid of these monsters and locked them in hell. Mother Earth encouraged her children to rebel. The younger son used the machete given by his mother to cut off the god's genitals and then threw them from the sky. The blood of the god dropped into the sea and turned into "Venus", the god of beauty and love. A few drops of blood fell to the ground and turned into the goddess of revenge.
The youngest son Cronus became the king of heaven. He also imprisoned his brothers and sisters in hell, leaving only his sister Rhea as his wife. When the god was overthrown, he cursed Cronus, saying that he would be overthrown by his son in the future. Cronus ate his children one by one. Rhea secretly gave birth to her sixth son in a cave. This is Zeus. When Zeus grew up, he gave Cronus a vomiting medicine with the help of the goddess of wisdom Melos, thus saving the brothers and sisters that Cronus had eaten.
Zeus became the king of the gods. He married his sister Hera. Later, Zeus gave birth to the God of War, the Goddess of Wisdom, the Sun God, etc., forming a huge Olympus family.
2. Prometheus
The sky and the earth were created, the sea ran happily, the fish swam freely in the water, and the birds sang in the sky, Deer are jumping in the woods. However, there is a lack of life to control and manage this bustling world.
At this time, the Illuminati Prometheus descended on the earth. He is the child of Uranus, the god of heaven, and Gaia, the earth mother. He is alert and extremely wise. In Zeus's struggle to usurp the throne, he sided with the young men and defeated Cronus. When Zeus divided the world on Mount Olympus, he did not want to be a god, so he came to the earth. He knew that the seeds of gods were hidden in the soil, so he gathered some soil, mixed it with clear spring water, and kneaded it into a human being in the shape of a god. He also took the good and evil from the hearts of various animals and sealed them in the human chest. His good friend Athena, the goddess of wisdom, was very surprised by Prometheus's creation, so she helped him and breathed divine breath and soul into the created creature. Thus the first man was born.
Newly born people are still very weak and their living conditions are extremely poor. They live in dark, damp caves and do not know how to build or use weapons and tools. It is not only attacked by wind, snow, cold and heat, but also harmed by poisonous snakes and beasts. Not only do they lack enough food, but they are also often threatened by disease and death. Prometheus, the creator and protector of mankind, was very sympathetic to mankind's misfortunes and determined to help mankind escape from these sufferings. When Apollo's solar chariot passed by in the sky, he used a tomato stick to attract fire and gave it to mankind.
When humans have fire, they have light and warmth, which adds the power to conquer nature, defeat diseases and beasts. Prometheus also taught humans various skills and knowledge such as cooking, architecture, navigation, mining, astronomy, arithmetic, medicine, literature and art, etc. People become smarter, wiser, and live a happy and joyful life. Society is becoming increasingly civilized and prosperous.
Prometheus's feat of stealing fire for humans angered the god Zeus, who wanted to severely punish this god who was bent on humans.
He asked the god of fire and blacksmith Hephaestus to build the strongest hinges and wedges, and asked the god of strength and violence to assist the craftsman. He tied Prometheus to the cliff of the Caucasus Mountains and let him hang upright. He could neither bend his knees nor sleep. Zeus also ordered the storm to beat him, and sent out thunder and lightning to strike him. He also sent a huge eagle to eat Prometheus's liver every day. The liver is eaten during the day and grows again at night for the eagle to peck at the next day. And so on.
The torture suffered by Prometheus shocked the daughters of the sea. They whimpering and crowded to the foot of the Caucasus Mountains to comfort Prometheus. Poseidon also came in a carriage and persuaded Prometheus to admit his mistake to Zeus and reconcile with Zeus. Prometheus refused and said: "No, I will never reconcile with Zeus."
In this way, Prometheus was chained alone on the Caucasus Mountains, enduring all the things Zeus had to impose on him. torture. Until one day 30,000 years later, the great hero Hercules came to the Caucasus Mountains and saw the descendant of the god imprisoned on a cliff, with a giant eagle standing on his knees, tearing away his bloody flesh. Liver, couldn't help but pity the poor sufferer. He bent his bow and arrow and shot the giant eagle to death; he broke the chains and freed Prometheus. The sufferings of this great hero Prometheus, noblest of saints and martyrdom for mankind, were brought to an end.
3. Making humans out of clay
After Pangu died. A great goddess named Nv Guo appeared on the earth. With a beautiful human face and a slender snake body, Wa can transform more than seventy times a day. "Wa walked and watched in the vast sky and earth. In the beautiful sky, the sun, moon and stars reflected each other, and white clouds floated in the blue sky; vast. In the land, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the flowers are blooming, the insects and birds are singing. The gentle breeze blows her long hair, and the drizzle moistens her jade-like cheeks. But gradually, she feels dissatisfied. , she always feels that there is something missing in this world, which makes her feel lonely and lonely. She wants to add something to the world to make the whole world full of vitality and prosperity.
But what should be added. ? Nuwa was thinking as she walked, and she reached the river. She felt a little tired, so she sat down by the river while looking at her reflection in the river, and casually picked up a handful of loess. While squeezing, she suddenly had an idea. There were all kinds of creatures in the world, but there were no creatures like herself. This made her feel so alone and lonely. So, why not create some living creatures like herself. Where is the thing? After thinking about it, she took the loess in her hand and molded a small doll-like thing out of her own shape. She put the little thing on the ground. Strangely enough, as soon as the little thing touched the ground, it suddenly turned into something. He could walk upright and speak. The first thing he said was to call Nuwa "Mom". Nuwa looked at this beautiful and intelligent little creature and was really surprised to hear him call "Mom". She was so happy. She quickly picked up the soil and kept making it. After a while, a group of cute little dolls appeared around her, jumping, jumping and laughing happily, "Mom, "Mom" kept calling. Nuwa was very happy and laughed heartily. She no longer felt lonely and alone.
Nuwa named these smart and beautiful calves "people" "Human means being able to walk upright. Nuwa decided to let "people" who are full of wisdom, can speak, and walk upright be the masters of the world and manage everything in the world.
In order to make people full of The earth, the goddess kept kneading and kneading. But the world was too big, and when the people she created were scattered across the vast land, they were still very few, but she felt exhausted.
At this time, she came up with a wonderful idea. She pulled a wild vine from the cliff, stretched the wild vine into the Yellow River, stirred up the yellow mud, and then lifted the wild vine and pushed it to the ground. After swaying, countless small mud spots on the ground turned into jumping people. It was quick and easy to create people, and soon a large group of people appeared on the ground. There are no traces of humans.
The earth is full of humans, but humans are dead.
How can human beings continue to develop continuously? Nuwa is thinking again. Later, she finally came up with a solution: divide human beings into men and women, let men and women marry, have children, and let them take on the responsibility of creating future generations.
Since then, humans have been passed down from generation to generation, endlessly, and more and more.
4. Refining stones to mend the sky
After Nuwa created human beings, there were many years of peace and quiet, with human beings working and living freely on the earth.
Unexpectedly, one year, terrible changes took place in the world, and a disaster suddenly came to the world. The pillars supporting the east, west, south and north sides of the sky were destroyed, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to split. The sky revealed large holes one after another, which could no longer cover the earth; the ground in Jizhou, Kezhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou and other places fractured and collapsed into lines. Deep ravines, floods erupted from the center of the earth, rivers, lakes and seas set off huge waves, rushing towards the earth. The floods and waves swallowed up countless houses, people and animals. There was also a raging fire in the forest, and the fire continued to spread, burning all living things.
Poisonous snakes and beasts also came out to harm humans. From time to time, ferocious birds rushed down from the sky like lightning and snatched away the elderly and children. A cruel black dragon also appeared in Jizhou, taking the opportunity to cause trouble, destroying fields, overturning houses, and devouring people and animals.
The world is a terrible and desolate scene. Humanity can no longer survive. Nuwa was heartbroken to see the human beings she created suffering such great suffering. She is determined to mend the sky and the earth, stop water and extinguish fire, punish ferocious birds and beasts, and save mankind from despair.
Nuwa stood in the middle of the earth, looking around everything, thinking about how to start this huge and arduous task. She picked countless colorful stones from mountains and rivers, piled them together, and used the blazing fire in the forest to melt the colorful stones into slurry. Then she held the hot stone slurry in her hands, flew up, and filled the holes in the sky one by one. With the addition of the colorful stone slurry, although the sky is not as smooth as before, it is more beautiful and colorful than before.
Nuwa was afraid that the sky would collapse after repairing it, so she killed a big turtle and cut off its four legs to use as pillars to support the four sides of the sky. From then on, the sky sat steadily on the four strong pillars, and there was no more collapse accident.
After repairing the sky, Nvwei rushed to Jizhou again, killed the evil black dragon, and drove away the ferocious man-eating birds and beasts, so that humans would no longer be harmed by beasts.
Now it’s time to control the rolling flood. Nushu traveled all over the land of China, gathering all the reeds and burning them into ashes, piling them up to block the monstrous floods and fill up the ravines and ravines washed away by the floods. The flood was stopped and the earth returned to its original appearance.
In order to make human life richer and more enjoyable, Nuwo created another musical instrument shaped like a phoenix - the Shenghuang. The sheng reed is made of a gourd with thirteen pipes inserted into it, and when played, it produces melodious and sweet music. She gave this instrument to humans and taught them how to play it. With this musical instrument as a companion, human beings are indeed living more happily and happily than before.
