GREEK GOD

Floodwater

the story continues until a time of flood.

In those early days there was a man named

Deucalion, and he was the son of Prometheus. He was just an ordinary man and

not a Titan like his biological father, but he is widely known for

his good deeds and honesty of life. His wife's name was Pyrrha, and

she is one of the prettiest male daughters.

After Jupiter tied Prometheus to the mountain

Caucasus and sending disease and worry to the world, man becomes

very, very evil. They no longer build houses and shepherds

their cattle and live together in peace; but everyone fights

with each other, and there is no law or security in the whole country

that's. The situation is now much worse than it was before Prometheus came

among humans, and that's what Jupiter wants. But when the world

becoming more and more evil every day, he grew tired of seeing so much

bloodshed and hearing the cries of the oppressed and

poor people.

"These people" he told

his mighty friends, "are nothing but the source of trouble. When

they are good and happy, we are afraid that they will become more

great of ourselves; and now they are so wicked that we

being in it is a danger worse than ever. There's only one thing

what to do with them, and that is to destroy them

all." everything."

So he sent a great rainstorm to earth,

and it rained day and night for a long time; and the sea was filled

to the brim, and the water flows over the land and first covers

plains, then forests, and then hills. But people continue to

fighting and robbing, even when it rains and the sea rises to the top

landmass.

No one but Deucalion, son

Prometheus, who was prepared for such a storm. She never

doing wrong things that people around them do, and often

tell them that if they don't leave the evil path

they, there will be a day of vengeance in the end. Once a year he

went to the Caucasus lands to talk to his father, who was hanged in chains

to the top of the mountain.

"The day is coming" said

Prometheus, "when Jupiter will send a flood to destroy

mankind from earth. Make sure that you're ready for it, my son."

So when it starts raining, Deucalion pulls

from his shelter was a boat he had built for a time

that was so long. He called Pyrrha the beautiful, his wife, and both

sit on a boat and float safely in the rising water. Day and

night, day and night, I don't know how long, the boat drifted there

hither. The tops of the trees were hidden by the flood, then the hills

and mountains; and Deucalion and Pyrrha could see nothing

besides water, water, air—and they know that everyone in the country has been

drowned.

After a while the rain stopped falling, and

the clouds disappeared, and the blue sky and golden sun appeared above

chief. Then the water began to sink very quickly and flowed from

the land went to the sea; and the next day the boat drifted high above

a mountain called Parnassus, and Deucalion and Pyrrha step into the

the dry land. After that, only in a short time until the whole

the land became bald, and the trees shook its branches

the lush was blown by the wind, and the fields were shrouded in grass and flowers

But Deucalion and Pyrrha were very sad, because

they know that they are the only people still alive in the whole

domestically. Finally they began to walk down the side of the mountain towards

plains, wondering what would happen to them now, alone

like they are in a big world. While they talk and

trying to figure out what they should do, they heard a voice in the

behind them. They turned around and saw a young prince who was

the noble stood on one of the stones above them. He was very tall, with

blue eyes and yellow hair. There were wings on his shoes and hat, and in

his hand he carried a stick with a golden snake wrapped around

surrounding him. They instantly knew that he was Mercury, the messenger

hurry up the Almighty, and they wait to hear what he will

tell the.

"Is there something you

want it?" She asked. "Tell me, and you will

get whatever you want."

"We should like, above

everything," said Deucalion, "to see this country full of

people once again; for without neighbors and friends, this world is indeed a place

that's very quiet."

"Go down the mountain" said

Mercury, "and as you go, put your mother's bones over your shoulders on

behind you;" and, with these words, he leaps into the air and

not seen anymore.

"What does he mean?" ask

Fira.

"Of course I don't

you know," said Deucalion. "But let's think for a moment.

Who is our mother, if not the Earth, from which all living things arise? However,

what does he mean by our mother's bones?"

"As they walked, they took

stones are loose in their path."

"Maybe it means rocks of the earth,"

Pyrrha. "Let's go down the mountain, and as we go, let's

take the stones in our path and throw them over our shoulders at

behind us."

"It's kind of silly to do,"

deucalion said; "But there is no harm in it, and we will

see what's gonna happen."

So they walked on, down the slope

steep Mount Parnassus, and while walking they took loose stones at the

walk them and throw them over their shoulders; and strange to

it is said, the stones that Deucalion threw appeared as mature, strong, strong men,

and handsome, and brave; and the stones which Pyrrha threw appeared as

mature woman, beautiful and beautiful. When they finally reached the land,

they find themselves the leader of a group of humans who

your Majesty, all want to serve them.

So Deucalion became their king, and he

put them in houses, and teach them how to cultivate

the land, and how to do many useful things; and the land

they are full of people who are happier and better than them

who lived there before the flood. And they named the country

Hellas, after Hellen, son of Deucalion and Pyrrha; and

his people to this day are called Hellenes.

We call it a GREEK country.
