The Wedding of Eros – Epilogue (1)

A message from Demeter arrived in the Underworld from Olympus.

The contents of the letter are…

The fact that Eros and Psyche’s affairs ended well and the motion to marry them was passed,

Under Zeus’s leadership, it was decided to make Psyche the goddess of the mind and soul, so that she could enjoy happiness with Eros.

It said that they were having their wedding in Olympus and that they were inviting me…

Hades. While you’re at Olympus, bring my daughter, Persephone, with you. And how has your relationship progressed…

Hmm. I get what you mean.

While you’re at Olympus, why don’t you bring Persephone with you?

“Persephone.”

“Hades? Did you call?”

“Your mother wants to see you, so come with me to Eros’ wedding.”

“Is it finally my turn? With Hades, disguised as a wedding guest…”

I turned my head away from Persephone, who was speaking with sparkling eyes, and read the letter once more.

Making Psyche, Eros’ wife, a goddess and marrying her would be a restraint and shackle on Eros.

I’ve scolded them hard, but you never know when they might be shooting gold and lead arrows again.

There may be some who think that it will be less as you get married and become more mature.

Since there were many victims of adultery by arrows, Hera, as the goddess who protects the family, would have agreed…

The other gods would not have opposed Eros’s restriction to the family.

…But as long as the people involved in the marriage are happy, there is no problem, right?

* * *

Olympus, visited with Persephone, was full of life, as if to prove that a wedding was imminent.

Over there you can see Eros smiling, arm in arm with the beautifully adorned Psyche.

A beauty that is certainly comparable to that of a goddess. Eros would fall in love with her at first sight.

If Aphrodite has a seductive feel, Psyche is a mixture of innocence and the ability to attract the opposite sex without realizing it.

“Ah! Lord Hades!”

“Ah… that person…”

Eros noticed me and came over with Psyche. The attention of the wedding guests is drawn to me as they approach.

But… the feeling I get from Psyche next to me is similar to the feeling I get when I look at the believers in Thebes.

“Eros. Congratulations on your wedding. And you, Psyche.”

“Thank you. It’s all thanks to Hades. Thank you for giving me such great enlightenment…”

“Don’t do this to me. Be good to the bride next to you who loves you. Don’t look away like the other guys do.”

“Of course. In my mind, I see only Psyche.”

Judging from the fact that the two of them are still stuck together, I guess they’ll do well?

After finishing the conversation with Eros, Psyche next to me turns to face me and bows respectfully.

Wait, you don’t have to do that now that you’re a goddess. Were you really my believer?

“I sincerely thank the Lord of the Underworld. For accepting the petition of a lowly human being and for allowing me to meet Eros, my husband…”

“It’s not something you should be thankful for. It was your patience that endured 100 days of curiosity that won you the love of Eros.”

Could it be thanks to the oracle I gave to Psyche’s parents?

Still, I’m a little reluctant to receive faith from a goddess who isn’t mortal.

“Curiosity is something that even Pandora couldn’t resist, and suppressing emotions is never easy. You’ve overcome something that even the first human female couldn’t, so it’s only natural that you’ll be rewarded accordingly. Of course, that’s assuming that you love each other…”

“Thank you again. My parents also built a new temple for Pluto-sama and made everyone in the kingdom pray to the underworld…”

“No, that’s okay. Just live happily ever after.”

“Haha. I understand. Oh, God of Mercy.”

He cut off Psyche’s words as she smiled gently and left behind some suitable words of wisdom.

A necklace made of minerals from deep underground would be a good wedding gift. It has my blessings on it, so it will be quite useful.

Psyche looks at the necklace I gave her and is delighted.

“Actually, I was at first taken aback when I realized that my suitor was the god Eros.”

“…?”

“A god who makes people of the same sex like each other, at first it was very…”

Did Psyche hear the rumor that spread from Thebes… ‘Homosexuality is a prank of Eros’?

But this doesn’t seem to be a rumor, it seems to be true.

“Ah, no, Psyche… That was a misunderstanding, and it’s not like that anymore…”

“Huh. Really?”

Eros is embarrassed and makes excuses, while Psyche teases her husband.

As I was happily watching their honey-dripping conversation, I heard a man’s voice calling me from behind.

“Uncle Hades. You came as expected.”

“Hephaestus. Aglaia is here too.”

Hephaestus, who divorced Aphrodite and married the goddess of radiance, was there.

Next to her is Aglaia, adorned with jewels made by the blacksmith god.

They bow their heads to me.

“Hephaestus. How do you like married life?”

“Ahem. Of course, Uncle. Aglaia had my child a while ago.”

“Oh… congratulations.”

Aglaia, with a bashful face, caresses her slightly protruding belly. This couple also seems to be on good terms.

I think it was a really good idea to divorce Aphrodite and Hephaestus.

As we chatted briefly with them, Hymenaios, the god of marriage, spoke up slightly.

“The wedding ceremony will begin soon!”

The wedding of Eros and Psyche began.

Their wedding lasted quite a while.

Hera, the goddess of the home, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and Hymenaeus, the god of marriage, came forward and gave their blessings…

“Huh. I haven’t fully accepted you yet. You’ll have to be extra careful about how you conduct yourself.”

“…Yes, Aphrodite.”

“Mother, why are you doing this on such a nice day…”

“Tsk. Anyway, I’ll keep a close eye on your behavior.”

“yes…”

Of course, Aphrodite looked displeased, but showed an attitude of reluctantly accepting it.

Wouldn’t Psyche live a little bit as a married woman?

But it’s a wedding that most gods bless… Huh? Wait a minute.

This wedding is a bit unusual in that the musician playing the music is not Apollo…

Terpsichore, one of the Muses goddesses.

Where did Apollo go? Did he ask Zeus to punish him last time?

I don’t see Poseidon either. Hmm.

I went straight to Zeus, who was laughing and chatting with his maid on one side.

“Ah, Brother Hades is here.”

“Zeus. I don’t see Apollo. What’s going on? Have you sent him to the human world to live as a slave again?”

“My poor son? I originally planned to portray him as the one who killed Orion… but that was no longer necessary.”

The king of gods speaks with a slight frown.

As expected, my brother was also watching the Otos Mountain Expedition.

“Apollo was struck by Poseidon and dragged into the sea.”

“…I thought so.”

Well then, there’s no way Poseidon would stay still.

* * *

Unlike when Ares’ daughter was in danger of being raped by Poseidon’s son, this time Poseidon had the upper hand.

Even Zeus tolerated Poseidon’s anger because he had killed the great hero who had killed Typhon’s children.

So, right after I returned Apollo to Olympus…

“Apollo! Have you lost your mind because humans worship you as the sun god!!!”

“Uncle, that’s…”

“I don’t want to hear it! Zeus, I think it would be okay if I took this guy away!”

“…Hmm. Don’t overdo it, Poseidon.”

So he was beaten by Poseidon and dragged into the sea with his collar held…

Zeus’ explanation was that perhaps he would be punished by shining in the depths of the sea…

So, does that mean Apollo was dragged into the sea and hasn’t returned yet?

“…Even if he’s the god of reason, it seems like his power disappears when it comes to his own younger sister, phew… As expected, the issue of children is the hardest.”

“You reap what you sow.”

“To kill a hero like Orion in a moment of emotion… wow.”

By the way, Zeus must also know that Poseidon did not fall for Gaia’s persuasion last time.

Poseidon must have handed down a punishment that he could accept.

“There must be more to it than that. He killed his own son, so he wouldn’t be so angry about that…”

“That’s right. So, to appease Artemis, I made a proposal to Poseidon.”

Zeus looked up at the sky, or more precisely, the sun. I followed him and looked up, and I witnessed a strange sight.

Helios’ sun chariot was racing across the sky… Huh?

Suddenly, Selene’s moon chariot appeared underneath the sun chariot and blocked the sunlight.

Suaa-

The sun was darkened. To be exact, it was obscured by the moon.

I quickly got up and looked at the lower world under the clouds, because I was worried about the chaos of the humans.

As expected, the earth was a battlefield, and there were mortals praying to me.

“Tae… the sun has turned dark!”

“What has happened to Apollo? Zeus!”

“What the…what the hell is this!!! The sun has disappeared!”

“It’s not that the sun has disappeared, but that it has been consumed by darkness?!”

“It is not night now, so which god is angry? Hurry up and offer a sacrifice…”

The people on earth looked up to the sky and sighed. Many ran to the temple, saying that it was a punishment from Zeus…

Many people knelt down and repented, while others fled into their homes in fear.

“This is the punishment I gave to Apollo for killing a great hero out of personal feelings. And to console Artemis… I decided to periodically cover the sun with the moon.”

“Are we going to make the moon chariot run directly underneath the sun chariot?”

“I have already asked Helios and Selene for their understanding. Every time they see the darkened sun, the other gods will learn a lesson.”

You may wonder if it is right to inflict such humiliation on someone who killed a human being…

Unlike Ares, the legitimate son born from Hera, Apollo was less loved by Zeus as an illegitimate child.

Because it is also an example of not messing with human heroes with personal feelings.

If you do this much, even Poseidon will be angry.

“Wait a minute, the sun is covered by the moon.”

“…?”

Isn’t this clearly… the phenomenon called an eclipse in a previous life?
