Tantalus, the son of Zeus, ruled Sipiros in Lydia and was famous for his wealth. Because of his noble birth,
The gods have great respect for him. In order to test whether the gods knew everything, he had his son Perseus killed, and then
Stir-fry and cook, and make a table for them. Therefore, Tantalus offended God. He committed a heinous crime and was sent to hell by the gods, where he was tortured.
He stood in the middle of a deep pool, and the waves rolled under his chin. But he endured burning thirst and couldn't drink another bite.
Drop cold water, although cold water is on my lips. As soon as he bent down and wanted to drink water with his mouth, the water immediately ran away from him and stayed.
He stood alone on a flat ground, as if there was an evil way to drain the pool. At the same time, he is hungry, too.
Unbearable. Behind him is the shore of the lake. There is a row of fruit trees on the shore, full of fruits. The branch was bent by the fruit and hung up.
His forehead. As long as he looks up, he can see pears, bright red apples and flaming stones dripping with honey.
Pomegranate, fragrant figs and green olives. These fruits seemed to greet him with a smile, but when he stood on tiptoe.
When the feet come to pick them, a strong wind will blow the branches into the air. Besides enduring these tortures, the most terrible thing is.
His pain is a constant fear of death, because a big stone is hanging over his head and will fall at any time.
Crush him to pieces.
Tantalus despised God, was sent to hell and endured triple torture.
In Homer's epic, Sisyphus is the most resourceful and skillful man in the world. He was the builder and king of Corinth. When Zeus kidnapped Ajina, the daughter of Isop, the river god, and she went to Corinth to look for her daughter, Sisyphus, who knew about it, told him in exchange for a river that flowed all the year round. Because Zeus revealed his secret, Zeus sent a god of death to take him to hell. Unexpectedly, Sisyphus kidnapped a god of death, leaving no one dead in the world for a long time. Until death was rescued, Sisyphus was sent to the underworld.
Before being thrown into the underworld, Sisyphus told his wife Merope not to bury his body. When he arrived in the underworld, Sisyphus told Persephone that an unburied person was not qualified to stay in the underworld, and took three days off to return to the sun to deal with his own affairs. Unexpectedly, as soon as Sisyphus saw the beautiful land, he didn't want to go back to hades. Until his death, Sisyphus was sentenced to exile to the other side of hell, where he pushed a heavy stone to a very steep mountain every day, then stepped aside and watched it roll to the foot of the mountain. Sisyphus will repeat this meaningless action forever, without any hope.
He has no choice: his only choice is stones and steep mountains.
Persephone Persephone (Greek: ∏ ε ρ σ ε φ? ν η) is the queen of the underworld in Greek mythology. She is the daughter of Demeter and Zeus. She was kidnapped by Hades, married to Hades and became an afterlife. That is to say, after my death, I married my uncle.
One day, Persephone was picking flowers in Enna with other water/lake fairies or sea fairies (in Homer's epic, she was with Athena and Artemis), but she inadvertently left her friends. There are all kinds of flowers on the beautiful grass, but among them are daffodils, which represent the sacred flowers of hades! When Persephone went to pick the seemingly harmless daffodils, the earth cracked. Four dark horses appeared in front of Persephone, pulling Pluto's chariot. The resistance was ineffective, and Pluto easily picked up the future and disappeared into the dark country of death. According to relevant information, Pluto got Zeus' permission before taking Persephone away, but Zeus didn't consult Demeter or ask Persephone if he would. However, "related information" is nonsense. Zeus and Pluto have fought for the throne, so Pluto moved to the underworld after losing the throne, just to show that Zeus would agree with his brother to marry his daughter. )
Demeter was very sad after losing her daughter, and left Olympus to look for her everywhere, so everything on the earth stopped growing (Demeter was the goddess of high yield and agriculture). Helius, the sun god, witnessed everything and told Demeter the whereabouts of Persephone.
Finally, Zeus couldn't make everything on the earth barren. He asked Hades if he could give Persephone back to Demeter. He sent Hermes to pick up Persephone. But before the arrival of Hermes, Hadders persuaded Persephone to eat six pomegranate seeds (some say he ate three), which forced Persephone to return to the underworld for six months every year (some say he stayed in the underworld for one third of the year).
In another version, Escala Fowles told other gods that Persephone ate pomegranate seeds from the underworld. Every year when Demeter is reunited with her daughter, everything on the earth grows, but in the other six months, when Persephone returns to the underworld, everything on the earth dries up. Another version says that Hekate saved Persephone. The earliest story about Persephone said that Persephone was a terrible goddess of death.
Eurystheus never got rid of his hated competitors, but it helped him win more honors. Many people are grateful to Hercules, because he has spared people a lot of pain. Now, the cunning king has come up with one last adventure, which can't be played by any heroic force, that is, fighting the evil dog in hell and bringing it back to Cerberus, the watchdog of hades. This dog has three heads, with poisonous saliva dripping in its mouth, a dragon tail in its lower body, and coiled snakes on its head and back.
In order to prepare for this terrible adventure, Hercules came to the city of Erucci in Attica, where the priests were proficient in the secret passages of Yin and Yang. He first washed away the sin of killing Ken Taulos in this sacred place, and then was taught the secret passage by Father Oyumopos. Hercules gained mysterious power and was no longer afraid of the terrible hell. At the southern tip of the Peloponnesian Peninsula, it is said that there is an entrance to hell. He came here, led by Hermes, the god of death, and went down to the abyss to Pluto, the capital of Pluto. There are many sad ghosts wandering in front of the city gate. When they see people with flesh and blood, they will immediately flee in fear. Only the spirits of Medusa and Meleg dare to face the creatures. When Hercules wielded a sword to kill Goethe, Hermes quickly grabbed his arm and told him that the soul of the deceased was an empty shadow that would not be cut off by the sword. Hermes also had a friendly conversation with Meleger's soul and promised to extend cordial greetings to his sister Daniela when he returned to the place of death.
When approaching the gate of hades, Hercules saw his friends theseus and Piritos. Piritos accompanied theseus to the underworld to woo Persephone. Because of this arrogant idea, the two of them were locked by Brutto on the stone where they sat down to rest. When they saw their old friend Hercules passing by, they gave him a helping hand. They hope to return to the dead through the power of Hercules. Hercules seized theseus's hand and freed him from the shackles. When he tried to save Rita again, he failed because the earth began to shake violently under his feet. Further on, Hercules recognized Escala Foss again. He once accused Persephone of stealing Hades' red pomegranate, so Persephone's mother Demeter turned him into an owl. Demeter was angry at her daughter's injury and put a big stone on Escala Fox. Hercules moved the stone for him. Hercules killed a cow in Pluto in order to make the thirsty ghost drink a mouthful of cow blood, but this offended Menotius, the cattle herder. He challenged Hercules to wrestle with him. Hercules jumped on him and broke his ribs. After the ghost left, Persephone hurried out to plead, and he let Menotius go.
Pluto stood at the gate of the dead city and stopped Hercules and wouldn't let him in. Hercules shot an arrow and hit Pluto on the shoulder. He jumped and screamed like a miserable man. He suffered a lot, so when Hercules asked him to hand over burroughs, the evil dog of hell, he didn't refuse, only put forward one condition: no weapons. Hercules agreed. He only wore a breastplate and lion skin to catch bad dogs. At Minghekou, he saw three dogs. It held its head up three times, barking and echoing like thunder. He grabbed three dog heads with his legs and grabbed the dog's neck with his arms to prevent it from escaping, but the dog's tail was a living dragon, and he wanted to hit him and bite him. Hercules still grabbed the dog by the neck tightly and finally subdued the evil dog. He lifted the dog, left the underworld with it, and returned to the dead side from another exit near Algoristercen. When burroughs, a vicious dog in hell, saw the sunshine, he was so scared that he spit poison saliva and fell to the ground, so poisonous aconite grass grew on the ground. Hercules chained plug burroughs, took it to Tirens and gave it to Eurystheus. Eurystheus was so surprised that she could hardly believe her eyes. Now he believes he can't get rid of this son of Zeus. He had to resign himself to his fate and let Hercules send the Cerberus back to hell and give it to its owner.
Hercules' last adventure was to crusade against Eurytos, the king of Ocalia. Before, the king promised that anyone who was better at archery than he and his son could marry his daughter Iole, but later he refused. In retaliation for him, Hercules called a powerful army, besieged Okalia, breached the city, killed the king and his three sons, and captured the beautiful young Iole.
Diana was at home anxiously waiting for the news of her husband's battle. At this time, the palace was full of cheers, and an emissary came back to report: "Your husband won a great victory and will be back soon!" His servant Ricas is announcing the good news of victory to people outside the city. Hercules will be delayed for a few days, because he will go to kenyon Peninsula in Opoya to worship Zeus. "
Soon, Licas came back with a group of prisoners. "Hello, noble lady." He said to Diane Nella, "Hercules' just cause has won. We occupied the city and took some prisoners. Your husband said, please be kind to these prisoners, especially this unfortunate woman kneeling at your feet. "
De Anila looked at the young woman sympathetically. She lifted the girl up from the ground and said, "Who are you, poor woman? It seems that you are not married, you must be from a noble family! Tell me, Licas, who is this young girl's father? "
"How should I know? Why do you ask me? " Lika answered evasively, and his expression revealed that he seemed to be hiding a secret. "Naturally, this woman," said Ricas after a pause, "will never come from a small family in Ocalia."
Hearing this, the young girl sighed and kept silent. Deianella was surprised, but it was not convenient to ask again. She just asked someone to send the girl to the back room. Don't abuse her. When Licas went to carry out her orders, the messenger who came in at first approached the hostess and whispered to him, "Diane Nella, don't believe what Licas said. He kept the truth from you. He once said himself that Hercules' crusade against Okalia was only for this young woman. She is Iole, the daughter of Eurytos. Hercules liked her very much before he met you. She came not as your maid, but as your competitor. She is Hercules' mistress. "
Diana was very sad. But she immediately calmed down and ordered Licas, her husband's servant, to come and see her. Licas pointed to the sky and swore to Zeus that he was telling the truth. He really didn't know who the girl's father was. Diana begged him not to play tricks on her. "Even though I may blame my husband for his infidelity, I will never hate this girl because she has never hurt me. I sympathize with her. Her appearance brought her suffering and ruined her country. " Seeing that his wife was so reasonable, Licas told her everything. Diana didn't blame him at all, just asked him to wait for a while. She wants to prepare a gift for her husband in return for the prisoner he gave her. She made his poisonous blood into a paste and hid it in the dark, according to Ken Taulos Nessus's dying orders. She thought it was harmless, just a potion to call back Hercules' love and loyalty. Now she crept into the small room, took out the blood paste and put it on a precious dress with wool. Then, she folded the clothes and locked them in a beautiful little box. After all this, Dianella threw the used wool on the ground, then went outside and gave the present to her servant Licas.
"Please take this dress to my husband," she ordered. "I sewed it myself. No one can wear this dress except him. I hope he doesn't put it by the fire or in the sun before he wears it to worship God. I'll give you a ring as a token, and he will know that this is really my truth. "
Licas promised to do as she said. He rushed to Oboya with a gift and gave it to the owner who was going to sacrifice. A few days later, the eldest son of Hercules and Diane Niela, Xu Ross, went to visit his father. He tried to persuade him to go home quickly. Diana accidentally walked into a small room with blood ointment and saw that the wool coated with magic medicine on the ground had turned to ashes in the sun. She was surprised and had a premonition that something was wrong. She was scared around the palace and didn't know what to do.
Son Xu Ross finally came back, but he didn't have a father. "Oh, mom," he shouted to his mother with hatred, "I really hope there will never be you in the world, and you will never be my mother!" She was startled by her son's words and quickly asked, "What's the matter with you, son?"
"I just got back from kenyon, Mom," my son sobbed. "You ruined my father's life!"
Diane Nella was pale, but she still asked him calmly, "Who told you that, my son?" Who dares to accuse me of doing such a outrageous thing? ""No, nobody told me. "I saw my father's tragic ending with my own eyes," my son said. When I met him in Chenayoung, he was busy slaughtering animals and preparing to sacrifice to Zeus. Then Licas came, and he brought your present. It was a cursed dress. Father put on it at once. He likes this beautiful dress very much. He started making sacrifices. 12 bulls were slaughtered that day. At first, my father prayed very quietly. However, when the flame on the altar rose, he was covered with sweat the size of a bean. The tights seemed to be cast on him with iron, and he trembled like a poisonous snake biting him. Father called out to Licas. Licas is actually innocent. He faithfully handed over your toxic tights. Licas came, and he repeated what you told him. Father immediately grabbed him, threw him to death on the rocks by the sea and threw his bones into the sea. His crazy behavior made people afraid to approach him. He howled and rolled on the ground in pain, and then suddenly jumped up. He cursed you and your marriage. Finally, he shouted to me,' Son, if you sympathize with your father, then send me back to the boat quickly. I can't die in a foreign land. "We carried him to the boat, and he roared in pain, but he finally returned to his hometown. You will see him soon, dead or alive. This is a good thing for you, mom. You have disgracefully murdered the greatest hero in the world! "
Diane Nella made no excuses for her son's scolding. She left him in despair. Several servants heard her say that Nestor had given her the love potion. They told the child that he had wronged his mother in anger. When the son heard this, he hurried after his unfortunate mother. But he came too late. Diane Nella lay flat on her husband's bed and died. She has a sword on her chest. The son fell beside his mother, crying and hugging her body, deeply regretting his radical language. Suddenly, when he heard that his father had returned to the palace, he jumped with fear.
"Son," Hercules shouted, "son, where are you? Draw your sword, aim it at your father, aim it at my neck and kill me! Only in this way can I get rid of the pain your mother gave me! " Then he turned to the people who stood by in despair, stretched out his hands to them and said loudly, "No spears, no beasts, no giants can subdue me." But a woman's hand conquered me! My son, kill me and punish your mother! "
When Xu Ross told him that his mother had hurt him unintentionally, she had already drawn her sword to make amends. Hercules was shocked at once, from grief to sorrow. He immediately let his son Xu Ross marry Iolai, whom he loved before, and became his prisoner. Because the Oracle of Delphi said that Hercules would die on Mount Ota in Tracy, he carried himself to the top of Ota despite his physical pain. He asked someone to set up a pile of firewood, put him on the pile of firewood and ordered a fire, but no one wanted to carry out this order. Finally, unable to withstand his repeated entreaties, his friend philoctetes saw that he was in unbearable pain and stood up to light the fire. Hercules specially gave him his invincible bow and arrow to show his gratitude. As soon as the firewood was lit, lightning flashed across the sky, fueling the fire. Finally, auspicious clouds came, and the immortal hero was sent to the holy mountain of Olympus in the rumbling snow. When the firewood burned to ashes, Iolaus and some other friends were going to pick up his bones, but they found nothing. There is no doubt that Hercules answered the confession of God. He has changed from a mortal to a god. They sacrificed to him and worshipped him as a god. Later, all the Greeks worshipped him as a god.
In the sky, he met his girlfriend Athena. She introduced the hero to the gods. Hera forgave him and married her daughter Herb. Herb is the eternal goddess of youth. They lived on the holy mountain of Olympus and gave birth to many beautiful and immortal children.

He left his second hometown of Trozin with tears in his eyes.
The ending of theseus
Theseus became a serious old man when he came back from Hades' hell. He was relieved to hear that Helen was saved by her brother, because he was ashamed of his previous behavior. Although he returned to power, the country was still in chaos. Minas Thoth was the leader of the rebel army and supported by the nobles. In memory of theseus's uncle pallas and his sons, the nobles called themselves pallas people. People who used to hate him are not afraid of him now. Egged on by Menas Thoth, ordinary people are unwilling to obey the king's orders. At first, theseus tried to suppress by force, but his efforts failed because of implicit or explicit opposition.
So the unfortunate king decided to give up this uncontrollable city completely. Before that, he had sent his sons Akamas and democritus to see Ubi, and asked them to see King Elver Nova. He solemnly declared his curse on the Athenians in Calgatos, a small town in Attica, and the place where he cursed the people was still marked long after. He dusted himself off and took a boat to Skolo. He regarded the inhabitants of the island as his special friends, because the king there kept a large fortune left by theseus's father.
At that time, the king who ruled Sculos was Lucomedes. Theseus asked him to return his father's inheritance so that he could live there. However, fate led him to a dead end. Maybe Lycopedes is afraid of the hero's reputation, or he has a secret agreement with Menathoth. In short, he plans to get rid of theseus, the uninvited guest. He took theseus to a high cliff on the island and lied to show theseus his father's old property. He caught theseus by surprise, suddenly pushed him from behind, pushed him off the cliff, and theseus plunged into the sea. In Athens, the ungrateful Athenians forgot theseus soon after his death.
Minas Thoth came to power as if he had legally inherited the throne of his ancestors. Theseus's sons were treated as ordinary soldiers, and they went to Troy with the hero Alfonoa. It was not until the death of Minas Thoth that they took charge of the scepter again. Hundreds of years later, the Athenians fought the Persians in the marathon. The soul of the great hero theseus emerged from the ground again. He led the people to defeat the invading Persians. Therefore, the Oracle of Delphi asked the Athenians to retrieve theseus's body and give him a grand funeral. However, where should people look for his body? Besides, even if his grave was found on the island of Skulo, how could they take back the remains from the barbarians?
At this moment, a famous Greek appeared. He was Simon, the son of Milser Artes. He conquered the island of Sculos in the new Crusade. Just as he was looking for the national hero's grave, he saw an eagle hovering on the hillside. The eagle suddenly rushed down like an arrow and clawed at the soil of a grave. Simon regards this phenomenon as the will of God. He ordered people to dig there. Deep in the mud, they found a big coffin with an iron spear and a sword buried next to it. Simon and his entourage don't doubt that this is theseus's grave. They carried the sacred remains on three warships and shipped them back to Athens. The Athenians lined up to greet theseus's body, just as theseus returned to his hometown alive. Hundreds of years after theseus's death, posterity expressed infinite gratitude and respect to the hero who gave them freedom and created the Athenian Constitution. However, his rude contemporaries opposed him, and they really owed him a debt.
In Hades' huge palace, there are three judges, Minos, Radaman Toth and Aiku, who are responsible for listening to the thoughts, words and actions of the soul respectively. Hermes, the goddess of justice, holds a sword and weighs good and evil for every soul. If the soul is better than evil, it will go to heaven, otherwise it will go to hell. If it is a heinous crime, it will be exiled to "endless hell" and suffer endless pain and suffering forever.
Hades handled the affairs of hell in an orderly way, with strict discipline; He is cruel and pitiless by nature, but he is impartial and an awesome god.
