本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛I have felt the wrath of the gods, and I can definitely sympathise.
I, Ino, was raised by my father, Cadmus, a great hero, and my mother Harmonia, the goddess of harmony. They together had my brothers and sisters, and me, Ino. I grew up and got married to Athamas, and had two children. Things were fine. But after one of my sister’s affair with Zeus, their baby, and her own death, everything went downhill. My siblings started to die off, so it was only fate that the same would happen to me. And Hera, the queen of Olympus, caused my death. She hated each of Zeus’s affairs, being his wife, and cursed the ones mixed up in it. Because I raised Dionysus, my sister and Zeus’s son, Hera cursed my husband. She drove him into a blind rage, causing him to kill my son, Learches. I had to escape, so I took my other son, Melicertes, with me and leapt into the sea. Zeus took pity on me, turning Melicertes and I into Nereids, and aided those at sea. From then on, I was worshipped as Leucothea, and Melicertes as Palaemon.
I knew about Ulysses and his adventures, and how the gods had kept him at sea for so long. The talk had been going around for years. And I pitied him. After leaving Calypso’s Island, his boat was destroyed by Poseidon. I decided to help him, because Poseidon and I never quite got along, and I wanted to annoy him. So, I talked to Ulysses, an unhappy and worn looking man. Despite that, he was quite polite, greeting me as a beautiful Nereid. I gave him my green veil that would keep him afloat. He seemed to think I was crazy, me telling him to believe that a veil would keep him afloat. I swam away before he could make a decision. But later, I heard Ulysses got to the mainland fine.
Ulysses deserves a happy ending. Poseidon has done enough, and he just wants to live out his life happily. Even though he has done some horrible things, killing so much and being too prideful, death seems too harsh for all the things that happened to him at sea. He has been through enough already, losing his whole crew, and being away from his wife and child for 20 years.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
