On a steep cliff, a heavy iron cable, once made by the god of fire Hephaestus, was constantly hitting the rocks on the cliff with marks that had already appeared in the wind.
Ding-ding-ding-ding!
And the only thing in the world that echoes this jingle is the eagle's cry that keeps coming from the sky!
This is Caucasus Mountains.
The place where Zeus is used to imprison and torture Prometheus!
It seems that countless myths from countless countries always have something close to them.
Just like Prometheus at this time is the same as the sand monk in the Liusha River.
It seems that the gods like to torture those who dissatisfy them with constant and constant pain every day!
Monk Sha suffers from a heart attack every day.
As for Prometheus, he was chained to the Caucasus Mountains, and his liver had to be eaten out by the condor sent by Zeus every day!
In one day, even if Prometheus doesn't take the initiative to recover from his injuries.
As the grandson of Gaia, the second generation Titan god's bright physique can also allow him to grow a new liver.
And in this way, he can only bear the pain of having his liver eaten by a condor once a day!
And in this, there is one thing that has to be said.
Why did Zeus send the condor to eat Prometheus's liver instead of other places like the heart or kidneys?
Because in the eyes of the Greek gods, the liver represents the source of a person or god's emotions!
As for Zeus, he felt that Prometheus's emotions were too rich, so rich that he lost respect for him, King of Gods, because of his compassion for human beings!
In the earliest days, Prometheus was a comrade of Zeus.
Of course, Prometheus is different from Zeus, he is not the child of Cronus.
He is the second generation Titan god, the grandson of Gaia and Elite Four Uranus.
As for the second generation King of Gods Cronus, it stands to reason that he, who is also Titan god, should not have conflicts with Cronus, let alone become comrades with Zeus, and deal with Zeus's father and other Titans together.
Everything, precisely because Prometheus is so compassionate and kind at the same time!
He really couldn't stand the crazy behavior of Cronus eating his own children, and his sympathy for Cronus's children who were eaten made him join the Zeus camp without hesitation, blowing the clarion call of attack against the Cronus dynasty.
At that time, the relationship between Zeus and Prometheus was very good.
Only later, when humans appeared...
As we all know, Prometheus is a fire thief, which is why he was tied to the Caucasus Mountains and tortured.
But few people know that before Prometheus stole fire, he had already had conflicts with Zeus for mankind.
At that time, humans had just been born, and the gods held a meeting among the gods to discuss the rights and obligations that humans would need to bear in the future!
The gods, including Zeus, unanimously require humans to believe in them and respect them as a condition for the gods to protect humans.
Especially Zeus, his pride and arrogance even led him to ask the earliest humans to dedicate all the trophies they obtained to himself!
Prometheus was dissatisfied with Zeus's request. He had personally walked among humans to observe human life. Of course, he knew how miserable the lives of humans would be if they sacrificed all their trophies and prey.
That means humans will lose the right to eat meat from now on!
After all, all prey needs to be sacrificed. If there is no prey, wouldn't humans have to eat grass?
Therefore, Prometheus, who sympathized with mankind, braved Zeus's anger at that meeting and argued with Zeus.
However, after arguing for a long time, as Olympus was one of the top three strong players at the time, neither Zeus nor Prometheus could convince the other.
Therefore, Prometheus is determined to use his wisdom to help mankind!
Facing Zeus, he came up with a way!
He will sacrifice two piles of things, and then Zeus will decide what he needs!
After Zeus agreed, Prometheus isolated Zeus from observation and secretly slaughtered hundreds of cattle.
After dissecting the cows, Prometheus divided the various parts of the cows into two piles.
There was a pile of beef and cow offal, and then he covered the meat and offal with cowhide.
In the other pile, Prometheus piled up all the bones of the cow, and he wrapped these bones in cow suet.
Moreover, he deliberately made the pile of beef bones much larger than the pile of beef.
Then, when Prometheus pointed at two piles of things and asked Zeus to pick the one he liked.
The greedy and arrogant Zeus undoubtedly chose the bigger pile!
Just like that, Prometheus announced with a smile that King of Gods likes animal bones and suet.
Therefore, after humans obtain prey in the future, they can keep the meat, internal organs and fur for themselves, and only wrap the bones of the prey with the fat of the prey and sacrifice them to Zeus!
And this matter is the source of Zeus's dissatisfaction with Prometheus!
Zeus was angry that he had been deceived, so he determined to take revenge on Prometheus.
Aren't you particularly sympathetic to those humans? Then I will destroy them!
Therefore, Zeus refuses to provide the most important thing to mankind.
Flame!
Without fire, human beings can only live a life of eating hair and drinking blood, and the kind of treatment that human beings suffer is finally unbearable for Prometheus!
That day, when Helios's sun carriage drove across the sky, Prometheus picked up a branch of woody fennel and used the branch to steal a small flower on the flame track crossed by Helios's sun carriage!
When Prometheus was about to send flames to the human world, Zeus, who had been paying attention to Prometheus, discovered his behavior.
At this point, Zeus and Prometheus, the former main force of Olympus, God of War, started fighting for the first time!
That day, thunder exploded, and the whole sky was filled with the anger of Zeus and Prometheus.
Their battle lasted for three days and three nights, and finally ended with Prometheus's defeat.
Accompanied by the thunder of Zeus, Prometheus hit the ground, but even if he was shot down by the thunder, he still held the flame he had stolen in his hand.
When fighting Zeus, in order to protect this flame, Prometheus hid the flame in his heart!
After humans noticed the lightning and the flames brought by Prometheus, more and more flames ignited on the earth.
And Prometheus hid the fire he stole in his heart. As long as Prometheus does not die, the fire in the world will never be extinguished!
Without the ability to retract the flames, Zeus was extremely angry.
Just like that, all his anger was poured out on the seriously injured Prometheus!
At this time, on the Caucasus Mountains, Prometheus was tightly bound by chains and naked, waiting for the condor to peck at him.
All his misery is only for human beings!
Watching the approaching condor in the distance, listening to the increasingly louder cry of the eagle as it gets closer.
Prometheus gritted his teeth and spat disdainfully.
"Come on, damn bald eagle, just like you have done for countless years, greedily devour my liver again!
One day, sooner or later there will be such a day!
My flames and I will escape from this damn prison!
Sooner or later I will kill you stupid bald eagle, sooner or later, haha."
After sneering, Prometheus opened his eyes. He planned to endure the pain of having his liver pecked out while staring at his future target as he always did.
If he has a chance to escape from this mountain, then his hatred must be vented, absolutely!!!
Just when Prometheus continues to wait...
The hawk's cry from the distance suddenly changed!
"Uh-huh?!!"
"Meow meow meow!!!"
The cry of the bald eagle suddenly seemed to be mixed with another voice!
Since the condor was flying behind the Caucasus Mountains at this time, Prometheus, whose divine power was suppressed by the chain, could not see what was going on.
But after listening to it over and over again, he finally remembered it.
The sound that sounded like meow might be the cry of a peacock that he had not heard for a long time?!
So, this was a fight between the condor and a peacock that broke in out of nowhere?
Or should I say...
Prometheus's eyes suddenly became serious.
He knew that maybe an uninvited guest had just arrived on the mountain where he was imprisoned!!!
And at the moment when Prometheus was making guesses, the handsome figure of Hera stopped right in front of Prometheus.
Before Prometheus could speak, Hera couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh my God, my old friend, I didn't expect that this bastard Zeus wouldn't even give you a piece of clothing!!!"
While cursing, Hera turned sideways and threw a gauze scarf on Prometheus's body without looking.
The gauze grew bigger in an instant, completely covering Prometheus's naked body.
After doing all this, Hera turned his head and looked at the wary Prometheus with a smile.
Looking at Queen of Gods with a smile on his face, Prometheus's face was filled with disdain.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Olympus's Your Highness, Queen of Gods, the great, just and merciful Zeus His Majesty's beloved wife.
You actually came to visit me, is this some new game you thought of, bitch!!!"
After cursing, Prometheus turned his head and didn't bother to look at Hera anymore.
On the side, after being scolded by Prometheus, Hera sighed helplessly.
She was not angry, but just sighed helplessly.
After sighing, Hera said softly.
"My old friend, my benevolent Prometheus, the cold wind on the Caucasus Mountains did not blow away the heat in your heart, and the pain of being pecked by stupid birds day and night did not take away your pride.
I am very happy to see you who is no different from the past, I am really happy!"
Having said this, Hera waved his right hand, and all the chains binding Prometheus's body were suddenly reduced to the last one.
Feeling the changes in his body, Prometheus was really stunned for a moment. He quickly freed up his now free hands and feet, and scrawled the gauze scarf Hera threw to him to cover his whole body.
Immediately afterwards, although he had no supernatural power, he still relied on his own body to climb along the last chain that tied his right hand to the top of the cliff that once bound him.
As soon as he reached the cliff, Prometheus immediately lay down.
"I don't know what your purpose is, let alone what your conspiracy is.
But no matter what, damn Zeus woman, if you come here with good intentions, then you don't mind if I lie down and talk to you.
As for if you come with deeper malice, haha!
Then it's enough for me to lie down for a while!"
Prometheus said to Hera with his eyes closed while fully enjoying the hard-won feeling of lying down that he had not experienced for countless years.
After listening to Prometheus's words, Hera slowly flew up, then landed and stood about five meters beside Prometheus.
After landing, she explained to Prometheus.
"Old friend, believe me, I really don't have any malice in my heart now.
Before meeting you, I thought about using everything I have done now, that is, the conditions that make your life more comfortable, as weights to negotiate with you.
But after meeting you, I suddenly realized that Olympus owes you so much!"
After finishing her words, Hera raised her hand slightly towards the distance, and her favorite peacock mount happened to send the body of the dead condor back towards the cliff.
While letting the peacock throw the condor's body aside, Hera continued to speak to Prometheus.
"So, I am not worthy of using everything you should have to negotiate terms with you.
You are a hero, my friend. I should not threaten you with those things, and you are destined not to be blackmailed by me.
So, whether it's the little bit of freedom you have now, or this damn condor that always tortures you.
They are all my gifts to you!"
"Haha!!!"
Suddenly, Prometheus, who was just lying down, jumped up from the ground.
He rushed to the dead condor in one swift step.
Even if the divine power is still sealed by the final chain, Prometheus can easily swing the condor weighing dozens of tons with just his physical body.
After torturing the condor's corpse dozens of times in a row, Prometheus, who had vented enough anger, turned the condor over in excitement.
He suddenly tore off the feathers from the condor's belly.
"Fake, where is your liver? Let me see where your liver is!!!
Aren't you eating my liver? Then I'll taste yours today!
I want to see whether my liver tastes better or your liver tastes better!!!"
After the words fell, Prometheus relied on his Titan god physique to tear open the body of the condor with both hands.
The huge liver of the condor was taken out directly by him!
No flames required, no cooking required!
Facing Xue Linlin's bird liver, Prometheus started eating it directly.
It had been too long since he had eaten, for someone like him who had been hungry for countless years.
Of course shit still tastes as bad as shit.
But as long as it's not shit, it's an absolute delicacy in his heart!!!
On the side, Hera was waiting for Prometheus quietly. She did not rush him, nor was she dissatisfied.
There were only three parts of shyness, three parts of anxiety, three parts of expectation, and one part of sympathy for Prometheus on her face.
With this sympathy, Prometheus ate for more than twenty minutes before putting the entire condor's liver into his stomach.
After that, Prometheus, covered in bald eagle blood, finally turned around and looked at Hera, who was waiting silently.
"Tell me why you're here, Hera, what do you want from me?
If what you want is not too extreme, then I can basically meet your requirements.
After all, you have fulfilled the biggest wish that I have had in my heart during these years of torture!
I really want to eat the liver of this dead bird, the liver tastes so good, hahahaha!!!"
Amid laughter, Prometheus picked up the eagle feathers that he had plucked and decorated the feathers on the gauze scarf Hera threw to him.
Looking at Prometheus who was making simple clothes for himself, Hera nodded slightly and then explained.
"I admit that I did come to see you with a purpose.
But please don't worry, my old friend.
I will not continue to hurt you, nor will I deceive you, or continue to torture you.
All I want is to share a fire with you.
That is, the great flame that you once took off from the Helios solar car, and then you buried it in your heart and sent it to the human world. It mutated due to years of human sacrifices and your emotions!
Of course, I don't need them all.
I just need you to lend me a small part of that fire!
I don't know what you need, but I promise.
As long as the reasons you put forward are not excessive, then I can definitely meet your request.
At the same time, you will also receive my heartfelt thanks!"
