Chapter 14: Poseidon and Mother Earth, Gaea
Hecate was somewhat mysterious.
It wasn’t until Asteria stared at her she stuck out her tongue and said, “Goddess Amphitrite just mentioned her child, Prince Triton. Mother, you should have seen him a few times.”
Asteria said: “It’s a handsome and polite young god. It’s hard for me to imagine that he is the son of the Sea Emperor. They have absolutely no similarities.”
“But it’s normal for children not to look like their parents. Little Apollo and little Artemis just inherited their sister’s beauty and not Zeus’ savage look.”
She couldn’t resist pinching Apollo’s handsome face again.
Hecate smiled lightly and continued, “Although the Sea Emperor has many children outside, Prince Triton is the only first son. But recently, the Sea Emperor has another heir, his mother’s identity is very unusual, so the goddess Amphitrite may be flustered because of this.”
“Which goddess was that?” Asteria wondered.
Compared with his brother Zeus, the Sea Emperor Poseidon was more famous for not paying attention to goddess, so most of his relationships were with ordinary goddesses or mortals.
And Zeus’s taste was much higher, and the lovers were gods of extraordinary status.
Of course, Apollo knew that this was also temporary.
With the passage of time, the excellent goddesses were all picked, and Zeus gradually turned his attention to mortals, even the same sex.
But at this moment, Zeus was still on the high end, while Poseidon was on the low end, rarely getting the hearts of the higher-status goddesses.
“It’s a goddess that scares you all when you say something about it.” Hecate couldn’t help but look around like she was a little scared.
Apollo recalled Greek mythology, his face was frozen, and he pointed to the earth at the edge of the ocean and said, “Could it be that one?”
“Wow, you can even guess that.” Hecate looked at him in surprise.
……
Asteria also reacted and was astonished, “It’s actually the Earth Mother, and she gave birth to a child, which…”
She couldn’t believe it.
“The fact is that Goddess Gaea gave birth to a child for the Sea Emperor recently, called Antaeus, so the Sea Emperor has not been in the ocean during this time.”
After the shock, Asteria quickly calmed down and accepted the news.
Gaea, Mother Earth, was one of the five primordial gods and the grandmother of the gods.
Most of the current gods were her descendants and children.
If counted from the first god-king Uranus, Sea Emperor, Poseidon was her grandson.
But in fact, the first-generation king of the gods, Uranus was also conceived from the earth and could be regarded as the eldest son of the mother of the earth.
That Sea Emperor Poseidon was actually her great-grandson.
These two gods actually gave birth to a child together.
Even among today’s gods, who were in the midst of the ‘incest’ wind, it was big news.
Apollo was not surprised that, later Zeus also gave birth to one of the greatest heroes of Greece with his sixth-generation granddaughter.
He pondered for a moment and said, “So the goddess Amphitrite is worried that Prince Triton’s position will be affected, so she is now looking around for gods who can support her.”
“You’re half right,” Hecate blinked, “whether the child of the Sea Emperor and the Earth Mother is a threat to Prince Triton or not, the Earth Mother chose to give birth to this child for the Sea Emperor. What is behind this behavior? The meaning is more worth exploring.”
Apollo’s voice lowered, “You mean the Earth Mother is trying to intervene in the ocean’s situation?”
Hecate’s eyes lit up, “You’re so smart.”
Asteria looked at them strangely, feeling that she didn’t understand what was going on.
Hecate whispered quietly, “The ocean has three generations of lords: the ancient Sea God Pontos, the Ocean Lord Oceanus, and the Sea Emperor Poseidon. Each has always wanted to annex the other, but each checks and balances the other.”
“But now Earth Mother has given birth to an heir for the Sea Emperor and is undoubtedly ready to intervene, thus breaking the balance.” Apollo’s face was full of seriousness.
Asteria interrupted him, “What are you thinking about at such a young age? Let me see if you just got hurt by Achelous.”
“Don’t worry, Aunt Asteria, I’m fine.”
Apollo touched the pearl in his hand and suddenly realized that his clothes were a little wet.
He cast dehumidification magic on himself to drive away all the moisture.
Seeing his actions, Hecate was surprised and said, “Apollo, can you also use magic?”
……
In the ocean.
Oceanus sat on his throne with a gloomy face.
Achelous, who had just received treatment, stood below with a pale face.
The atmosphere was somewhat dead.
It took a long time before Oceanus finally spoke up, “Why do you work for Hera? ?Didn’t I say not to get involved in the internal affairs of Olympus?”
“Father, I do all this for the sake of the Ocean God.” Achelous said in a low voice.
“For a long time, among the three major forces of the ocean, Pontos has the strongest strength and power, and although Poseidon has a weak foundation, he has the priesthood of the emperor of the sea, and he has resistance to all the gods in the sea, and there is also the support of Olympus behind him.”
“Only our Ocean God has neither strength nor the support of other gods behind it, and our situation is the most dangerous.”
Oceanus frowned and said, “You are talking nonsense. You have so many sisters married to various gods. Why do we have no supporters?”
Achelous sneered: “A married daughter is an outsider. Look at Amphitrite’s attitude towards us now, and you will know if they all remember you as a father god.”
Oceanus was silent for a moment and said, “Then you can’t cooperate with Hera. She is the goddess of Olympus. This position should belong to your sister, but Zeus killed her…”
Achelous yelled, “So what? As long as it can make the Oceanic God more secure, what does it have to do with who to cooperate?”
He wore a solemn expression on his face, saying, “Zeus is also concerned that Poseidon’s authority in the sea may grow and endanger his throne. So, with Hera’s assistance, we can make Poseidon lose Olympus’ support while securing our own.”
“But you haven’t even been able to win against a junior who was born only ten years ago.” Oceanus sneered.
The veins on Achelous’ face suddenly burst, “This is my carelessness. I didn’t expect him to be able to produce such a terrifying flame, but the next time will be his death.”
“Do you still want to do it again?” Oceanus frowned.
“Since we have already struck once, naturally, we can’t just stop!” Achelous shouted while his eyes were filled with icy killing intent.
