On the island of Cyprus, there is a talented sculptor, His name is Malian. He had a deep hatred for women throughout his life.

?Hate nature for giving women too many shortcomings. ?

He decided never to get married and devote himself wholeheartedly to art. However, the work of art he was trying to complete, the culmination of all his talents, was a statue of a woman. This may be because although he can abandon women in life, he cannot completely forget about women psychologically. Or he wants to create a perfect woman, thereby exposing to men the flaws in women they must endure.

Whatever his purpose, he worked tirelessly to create an exceptionally beautiful artistic portrait. This portrait was indeed lovely enough, but he was never satisfied. He continued to modify it, and his ingenious craftsmanship made the portrait more beautiful day by day. All women and all statues since ancient times are beyond her reach. Later, when the statue had reached perfection and could not be more beautiful, its creator Marion suffered a strange fate. He fell deeply and passionately in love with what he had created. It must be noted here that the statue did not look like a statue. No one thought it was made of ivory or stone, but a warm flesh and blood body that had just temporarily stopped moving. This is where the extraordinary power of this arrogant young man lies, as well as his unique artistic attainments and supreme artistic achievements.

But from now on, the women he despised can take revenge on him. Never has a lover who lost his love for a living girl suffered so much as Marion. He kissed those two tempting lips but could not kiss back; he touched her hands and face but she had no response; he held her in his arms but she was still a cold figure. Sometimes, he pretended to be like a child, treating this image as a favorite toy, trying on beautiful clothes for her, constantly changing clothes of various colors for her, trying to appreciate their effects, pretending that she wore them Will like it. He also gave her birds, flowers and the amber crystal tears of the Faison sisters, all the things that ordinary girls like, and then dreamed about how the other party would warmly appreciate him. At night, he put her on a soft and warm bed and teased her to sleep like a girl playing with a doll. However, Marian was not a child after all. He couldn't keep lying to himself, so he finally gave up. What he loved was a lifeless thing, and he was in great pain and despair.

His unrequited love finally failed to hide from the goddess in charge of love. Venus was interested in this new and strange love, and she was determined to help this unique young lover.

The festival of Venus is of course particularly respected in Cyprus. Cyprus was the first island to accept the goddess Seafoam after her birth. Countless heifers with golden horns were dedicated to her, and incense filled the island from the many altars of Venus. All the lovelorn people bring offerings to pray to her, hoping to make their lovers change their minds. Of course Marion also went. He only dared to pray to the God of Love to let him find a girl like that statue. But Venus knew what the real wish in his heart was. In order to express her acceptance of his prayer, the flame on the altar jumped three times in front of him, emitting brilliant light in the air.

Seeing this auspicious sign, Marilian was full of hope and went home to find his lover and the statue he had created and admired. The statue stands on the pedestal, graceful and lifelike. He stepped forward to hug her, but immediately retracted in shock. Was she confused? Or did she really feel warmed by his touch? He gave the two lips a long, passionate kiss, and he felt them gradually softening under his lips. He touched her arms and shoulders, and they lost their rawness. It was like watching wax soften in the sun. He held the other person's wrist, his blood pulsing. Venus! He thought: It is the masterpiece of the goddess! He hugged his lover tightly with indescribable gratitude and joy, and his lover was smiling shyly at him.

During their wedding ceremony, Venus' jade car came and made the wedding even more glorious. As for the future development, except that Marion named her Gradia, and their son Pephos named the city Venus loved after himself, we don’t know the rest. Chapter 2 of Mythical Stories About the West: Suppressing the Rebellion in the City

News of the brutal murder of the suitor spread in Ithaca. Relatives of the deceased came from all directions and rushed to the palace. They found a pile of corpses in a corner of the palace courtyard. They wailed loudly and threatened to avenge the dead. The people of Ithaca carried the body outside the city for burial. People from neighboring islands carried the bodies on boats and transported them back to their hometown for burial.

Then, the parents, brothers and other relatives of the deceased gathered in the market to hold a national assembly. There were many people attending the meeting, and Oyuphetes, the father of the suitor Antinous, spoke first.

He cried and said: "Friends, think about it, how much disaster and misfortune this man I am accusing you has brought to Ithaca and neighboring areas! Twenty years ago, he brought With our brave young people, we set off by boat. Now, the ship is destroyed and everyone is dead, and he is the only one who has returned. After he came back, he killed so many noble young people in our nation. Come on, everyone, let’s catch him before he has time to escape to Pylos and Elis!?

Everyone present saw him bursting into tears and sympathized with him very much, and were about to set off. When they went to pursue him, the singer Phimius and the messenger Medon came from the palace to the market place. They were surprised to see two people alive in the palace. Medon asked to speak, and he said loudly: "Men of Ithaca, please listen to me." I swear that what Odysseus did was decided by the gods. I saw with my own eyes a god who turned into Mentor and protected Odysseus at all times. It was this god who killed the suitor. Is this God's will!?

They were all frightened when they heard the messenger's words. At this time, a white-haired old man, Haritherses, the son of the prophet Mastor, stood up and said: Citizens of Ithaca, please listen to me, all the things that are happening now are due to You are responsible. In the past, why did you allow your suitors to do whatever they wanted? Why didn't you listen to Mentor and I's advice and let your arrogant son feast in the palace, squander other people's property, and hold his wife hostage? What's happening in the palace now? This tragedy is truly your own fault. If you were smart, you shouldn't have gone after him. He just fulfilled his obligations for the sake of the stability of his family. If you disobey God's will, greater disasters will await you. ?

As soon as Harry Terses finished speaking, the crowd became commotion and formed two groups: some agreed with the old man's opinion, and some supported Oyuphetes's idea. The supporters of Oyuphetes armed themselves and gathered outside the city. Oyuftes stood at the front of the team, ready to avenge his dead relatives.

Pallas Athena looked down from the sacred mountain of Olympus and saw a group of people preparing to rebel. So she came to her father Zeus and said: "Father of the gods, please tell me, What is your decision? Do you want to resolve the Ithaca dispute through war, or do you want to resolve it peacefully?

?Daughter, what decision do you want to hear? Zeus replied,? Have you not decided, with my consent, to let Odysseus return to his homeland and take revenge on his suitors? Now that I have agreed, you can do as you please. But if you want my opinion, then listen: Odysseus has punished the suitors, and he is king forever, sworn in a sacred covenant. Our gods should only let the relatives of the deceased forget their pain, so that they can live in harmony with the king as before, and make the kingdom of Ithaca prosperous. ?

The goddess was very happy to hear this. She left Mount Olympus, flew through the clouds, and landed on the island of Ithaca.
