The Story of the Golden Apples – (1)

Finally, the wedding ceremony was over… and time in the afterlife quickly passed by, becoming quiet again.

I also made a statue of the goddess Nyx for my temple in Thebes.

“Lord Hades has given an oracle: Make a statue of Nyx, the goddess of the night…”

“Nix? Are you telling me to create a statue of the Protogenoi and spread their fame?”

“Was there someone like that in the afterlife?”

Sometimes, the goddess of justice, Dike, was used to discipline gods and humans.

These days, humans have become so powerful that there have been quite a few cases of them making fun of God or committing evil acts.

Of course, I also went to see Alecto, one of the goddesses of vengeance who didn’t come to the wedding for some reason…

“Lord Alecto?”

“Ugh… Ugh. Hades. Why can other goddesses do it but I can’t?”

“No, that’s it. That’s it.”

“Is it because of that ugly hair? Or the blood flowing from my eyes?”

I had a hard time calming her down when she kept begging me to tell her that she liked me.

I never thought the goddess of vengeance would have feelings for me. But I can’t imagine her adding wives to the list…

“Haaah…”

While I was thinking these painful thoughts, the door opened and the goddess Styx came in.

You came dressed up beautifully today. Hmm. Maybe from the afternoon… right?

“Hades. Did you hear that Thetis is getting married this time?”

“Ah. I received the message from Zeus, but I don’t think I need to go.”

“I think you said Peleus? Anyway, it seems like you’re really in love with that human hero…”

The fellowship between man and God has borne fruit.

It was the same with Cadmus, Hercules, and even the goddess Thetis, who got married. Could it be that the heroes were starting to get closer to gods?

“Hades! Oops! Oops!”

“…Lethe?”

While talking to Styx, the goddess Lethe rushed in.

What is it this time?

“I can’t see my mother!”

“Goddess Iris? Is there something you need to do…”

“That’s not it. The problem is that you got angry because you weren’t invited to the goddess Thetis’ wedding and then ran away!”

What? The goddess Eris wasn’t invited to the wedding? And then got angry and stormed out?

This is clearly something they are trying to do.

“They sent invitations to the Goddess of Hunger and even to Gaia, but my mother didn’t receive an invitation!”

Fate cannot always be happy, just, or good, but

But I hope you’ll let it go a little for the wedding…!

“I have to go right now. Where did you say the wedding was going to be held?”

“At the Olympus Palace.”

I left the underworld in a hurry and ran to Olympus.

Discord is a constant and unavoidable element of fate.

The place where the conflict takes place is the wedding of Thetis, who was prophesied to give birth to a son who would surpass his father.

What happens to the prophecy if the wedding goes wrong?

What about Zeus? How will the king of the gods react?

Taking care of problems in advance before they arise is the best way to avoid future hassles.

* * *

But when I arrived at Thetis’ wedding, I realized I was already too late.

Because at the wedding of the gods above the clouds, all kinds of shouts were coming and going.

“Ha! As the queen of the gods and the goddess of marriage and family, it is only fitting that I should be given this golden apple!”

“Even if Goddess Hera says so, this is fitting for me, who possesses the greatest wisdom and ability among the goddesses.”

“If I am the goddess of great beauty as described here, then shouldn’t I be? The goddess of beauty and love is here, and you claim to be more beautiful…”

Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite.

Because these three goddesses were fighting over one golden apple.

As precious as golden apples are, I had a few of them.

One of Hera’s possessions was a golden apple tree… but there must be another reason.

I pushed my way through the gods and called out to Ares.

“Ares.”

“Oh. Uncle Hades. You’re here.”

“What on earth is going on? Why are these three goddesses fighting over a mere golden apple?”

He explains, holding his head with a look of pain on his face.

“That’s right. Isn’t that because it says on the golden apple, ‘To the most beautiful goddess’?”

“ah.”

“It’s probably the work of Eris, the goddess of discord. There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Ares shrugged his shoulders, his eyes filled with embarrassment.

Anyway, I understand now. In the end, it’s a battle of pride… is that what you’re saying?

The most beautiful goddess is of course Aphrodite, but perhaps everyone interprets it differently.

“Hmm… Who do you think would be a suitable owner of those golden apples?”

“Wouldn’t it be right for Hera to have it? Who else but the queen of the gods would be worthy of that apple…”

“But isn’t the most capable and outstanding goddess Athena of wisdom?”

“If it’s just a literal meaning, wouldn’t it be right to give it to the goddess Aphrodite?”

Hera interpreted that phrase to mean the greatest goddess,

Athena means the most outstanding and capable goddess.

Could it be that Aphrodite is interpreted literally as a goddess of beauty?

But trying to mediate with words like this will be useless.

Those who are fighting now will also know that they each interpreted it differently. It’s really a battle of pride.

It is also the case that Hera does not suppress the two goddesses with force.

I think I will take the golden apple with honor and respect through words and everyone’s recognition.

* * *

The wedding, which was supposed to be a blessing for the new family, was already filled with noise.

The fighting goddesses are not lower level deities, but are all high level deities above the 12 gods of Olympus.

In this yard, there couldn’t have been many people who could stop it.

Hymenaeus, the god of marriage, only looked embarrassed, and Dike, the goddess of justice, suppressed her anger.

The main characters of the wedding, who should have been angry, were trying hard to pretend not to notice.

Even Poseidon, one of the three gods, feels annoyed and hesitates whether to intervene or not.

“Ahem. But it’s a wedding. It’s a bit much to argue about this…”

There were a lot of people who avoided eye contact because they felt uncomfortable with the wrath of those goddesses being directed at them.

After watching that behavior for a while… I sighed deeply and walked forward.

“So! The owner of this apple is…”

“You deny it even though it’s written that it’s the most beautiful? Of course, that Afro…”

“What on earth are you all doing at Thetis’ wedding?”

The sharp glares of the goddesses who had been arguing fiercely until just now are fixed on me.

He turned his head with hostility, wondering who dared to interfere. However, he softened after checking my face again.

“Hades. The golden apple tree was mine to begin with, and I am the most elegant and excellent goddess. Do you think it is right for goddesses who are not even worthy of my title to take it?”

“Hera! I acknowledge that you are the greatest of the goddesses. However, I cannot give up the golden apples. I am the most capable goddess, so I will take them.”

“Haaah… What are you all talking about! You’re the most beautiful goddess! The goddess of beauty is here!”

“No. Everyone, be quiet and listen to what I have to say.”

Let’s make it quiet for now.

The three goddesses who had been snickering at my words momentarily close their mouths.

“What are they fighting about over just that golden apple? Wouldn’t it be better to just give it to the goddess Thetis, the main character of this wedding…”

“No!”

“No!”

“That’s unacceptable!”

No, then what? Are we going to keep fighting here?

Even a fight over pride should be fought at the right time and place. Does it make sense to do this at a wedding hall?

Just suppress her with authority? But you can’t do that to Hera. No matter how annoying it is, you have to respect the queen of the gods…

But if we were fighting like this at my wedding, even Hera would never have let it go.

No matter what anyone says, they would have all been kicked out of the afterlife.

“What are you all doing at the wedding hall right now!!!”

Yes, exactly like this.

* * *

Thetis is not a hated goddess, and the human hero who marries her, Peleus, is the grandson of Zeus.

So it is natural for Zeus to be so angry.

“I may not be able to give you my blessings at the wedding, but it’s nice to see you fighting.”

Zeus, with a serious expression on his face, walked towards me and picked up the golden apples.

“I’ll decide who will receive this apple later! For now, congratulating the newlywed bride and groom takes priority!”

“yes…”

“Okay, you.”

“If Zeus says so. Well…”

Fortunately, everyone decided to move on for now.

Yeah. Fight later. I wonder what the hell they’re doing at someone else’s wedding.

He walked towards the goddess Thetis and her human husband.

Since you’re at a wedding, you should definitely give a congratulatory message.

“Ahem. Ahem. There was a bit of a commotion, but congratulations on your wedding, Goddess Thetis.”

“thank you…”

“Did you say Peleus? And the human next to you.”

“Thank you, King of the Underworld!”

After giving her a few words of wisdom and a suitable wedding gift, he headed straight to Zeus.

He was lost in thought, looking at the troublemaker that had caused the discord.

“Zeus.”

“I have a headache trying to figure out who to give this to.”

“Actually, I think it would be better to just interpret it as is and give it to Aphrodite…”

“Then a fight breaks out.”

If you cut the golden apple into three pieces and give it to them, they will fight, saying that you are making fun of them.

If you give it to just one person, the other two goddesses will be angry.

If you just give it to Thetis, the main character of the wedding, by pressuring her with authority, all three goddesses will be resentful.

Then shouldn’t we leave the judgment to someone who everyone can agree on?

Zeus seemed to have the same thoughts as me, and looked at me and said.

Hmm. Yes. If you, the king of gods, decide well and give it to a goddess…

“Can Brother Hades decide? If it’s the decision of the master of the underworld, who is renowned as the god of fairness, everyone will accept it even if they are a little dissatisfied.”

“Hey…”

Don’t leave it to me.
