Greek Mythology: I open a treasure chest at Olympus

Chapter 43: Princess of Delphi

Apollo left Mount Olympus and walked on the vast land.

This mythic world was completely different from greece on earth.

The earth was immense, and the ocean surrounded the earth, the earth had a city-state, but more of it was the uninhabited wilderness.

The end of the world was visible, and the gods could find the limits of the earth and the edge of the ocean.

Breathing the fresh air of the vast soil, he opened a book of ‘history of the gods’ borrowed from Athena.

This book was ancient. It said that the first edition of the book was written before the establishment of the first generation of gods. Later, some people added follow-up content.

Turning to the first page, “The first to be born was Father of the Gods, Chaos, who emerged from nothingness to carry darkness and night, bringing the first rays of light.”

“The second was the Earth Mother, Gaea. The vast earth gave birth to the vast sky, the continuous mountains, and the boundless ocean.”

“In the depth of the earth, the blackest and darkest Tartarus appeared. He was the source of all fear and the darkest place in the universe.”

Looking at the book in his hand, Apollo muttered, “The five Primordial Gods, Chaos was the first to be born, Earth Mother Gaea was second, Abyss Tartarus was third, these three did not have any lineage or relationship between the creator and the creature, only the birth of the sequence of relationship. But the next two, Nyx, the Goddess of the night, and Erebus, the God of darkness, were conceived by Chaos.”

[A/N: This matched well with the divine genealogical records of the previous life on earth.

Although many people circulated on the Internet that Chaos was the creator of the Greek Gods, who created the gods such as Gaea, the Mother of the Earth, and Tartarus of the Abyss.

However, there had never been such a saying in mainstream Greek mythology. Chaos had only been born before the Earth and the Abyss, and there was no relationship between the three]

Only night and darkness were born in Chaos.

“However, Chaos is indeed the most mysterious and powerful Primordial God. The two gods built entire world to reached the Primordial Domain, and the sky, mountains, and oceans nurtured by Earth Mother Gaea are all a little inferior.”

“The Earth Mother, the Lord of the Abyss, the Goddess of the night, and the God of darkness, were still active in the ignorant era before the establishment of the first Divine Court, and then gradually retired.”

“But from the beginning of creation, Chaos, who has always been the head of the Primordial God, has never shown his deeds.”

“Perhaps, it’s not that he never appeared, but that later gods couldn’t understand things about him.”

Apollo whispered.

Chaos, the first god at the beginning of the world, the oldest and most powerful existence, was too mysterious.

No matter how powerful and magnificent the other four Primordial Gods were, they all became popular.

Only this one left nothing about it except for a name.

There was not even a single legend at all.

Walking on the earth, he continued to read the booklet in his hand, “The earth gave birth to the sky, the mountains and the sea, of which the sky completely wrapped around the earth, and they articulated with each other, giving birth to the twelve children of the heavenly bodies, the light, the great oceans and rivers, the youngest of which cut the connection between the sky and the earth with a sickle.”

“Uh, this can also be said to be ‘root breaking’, but it’s not so dirty when written like this, and it saves face for several gods.”

“Darkness and night combined to give birth to space Aether and daytime Hermera, and then night alone gave birth to death Thanatos, sleeping Hypnos, and discord Eris… Huh, what’s the first line? It’s blank.”

Apollo stared blankly at the page in front of him and frowned slightly.

There was a name missing on the list of children born by the Goddess of the night, Nyx alone.

That name seems to have been erased by some force.

The ordering of the names on this is all according to the time of birth, and this blank line is the first, which means it was the eldest son or daughter of goddess Nyx.

The second-ranked gods were all born during the reign of the first generation of gods, so this eldest son was probably born in the previous ignorant era.

Apollo guessed.

Suddenly, he heard a loud noise coming from the front.

……

“Father, I can’t go to Athena and bring you help.”

Looking at the ugly beast in front of her, Tekasha wept, her beautiful cheeks filled with despair.

Not long ago, she was the noble Princess of Delphi, enjoying the favor of her father and the love of her people.

But terrible monsters attacked her city-state.

Delphi was only a small city-state, there was no powerful hero with the blood of the gods; and the King of Delphi only built an army to fight against these monsters.

But how can the power of mortals be comparable to that of monsters that destroy the world?

The city walls were breached soon.

Her father asked her to lead a call for help.

He hoped that the brightest pearl of Greece, the city of civilization that believed in Athena, would send powerful heroes to help Delphi.

But now, she could no longer complete this task.

“Princess, you must go!”

The maid who had taken care of her since she was a child cried out and pushed her away.

Puff!

A monster with three heads full of spikes smashed the maid’s head with its tail.

The bloody scene made Thekasha tremble, and she hated her weakness and powerlessness.

“O gods, save us.” I will devote myself to you and serve in the temple for life.

Gazing at the hideous beast’s claws appearing overhead, Thekasha collapsed to the ground, praying in despair.

In fact, she didn’t have much hope.

As a highly educated royal, she knew the tempers of the gods too well.

The pity word would not appear on them.

“Believe in the power of the gods, but do not believe in their mercy.” That’s what her teacher told.

But at this moment, what else could she do other than pray?

“O God…?even if you have only half mercy, come down to me and save the people of Delphi.”

Thekasha kept her bright eyes open as she watched the monster’s hideous claws fall on her head.

She never closed her eyes.

She wanted to see if the gods had really abandoned the beings of the earth and allowed mortals to be ravaged.

“Sure enough, no god will save us…

.

At the last moment, the scales of the monster’s giant claws were clearly visible, and the disgusting odor penetrated her nostrils.

The expected miracle still hadn’t happened.

Thekasha closed her eyes desperately.

Just then, a golden glow emerged.

The brilliant divine light enveloped the ugly monster and turned it into ashes in the blink of an eye.

“Huh, am I in the underworld already?” After a long time, Thekasha opened her eyes in confusion.

What caught her eye was a bright light.

A handsome and elegant boy bathed in light.

“Mortal, was it you who prayed to me?”
