How's Persephone? ... as always ... ... Look, look ... Demeter
... What are we waiting for? Are we waiting for someone? ...
Why did they call me? - Without telling me ... We don't want to wait for anyone else! ...
- What are we waiting for? - Zeus loves surprises. - Do you think it's a surprise?
- Why did they call me? Am I really needed? - Just wait. They say, it's a surprise.
- Zeus has prepared a surprise? - No, no, not Zeus.
- The Golden Aphrodite. - Aphrodite?
- I don't care about her. - A surprise ... I love surprises ... - Aphrodite... She's so trendy...
By the will of Aphrodite, my Driopa gave birth to a faun.
My child was with goat legs and a long beard.
... Ha-ha-ha! ... Driopa ... With a goat beard ...
We are waiting for Apollo.
Seer Phoebos among us gods is the only one that can tell the future.
He will tell what fate has in store for us..
Fate.
- Oh, Zeus! Oh Gods! - We listen to you. - The Golden Aphrodite is to give birth!
- Who? - Aphrodite...? - ...Herself? ... - The new God will be named Eros!
Eros ...? ... Eros? ... What is this? ... Why? ... - When? - Today!
- What gifts will the new God give us?
- Eros, son of Aphrodite, will bring a lot of trouble to the world!
- To whom? - To everyone! But especially to us, the gods!
.. No! ... As I am the seer Apollo, I foresee:
to one of us he is already preparing his first treacherous gift!
To the quarters of Aphrodite! I need to prevent the birth of Eros!
... Always intrigues ... We will not allow the birth of Eros!
... Always intrigues ...Eros?... Why love? ...
this soul, full of passion, resists the order. We're too late!
He is already born! He is already born ...! We are lost!
What will become of us? ... Ah-ah-ah! ... He will bring us all only misfortune!
It'll be the start of treason, murder!
The God who will sow evil should not have been born!
But since he is born, let him die!
Hold it! What do you want to do? Why? Eros ... who needs him? ...
Carry him to the wilderness, the forest! And leave him to the wild beasts!
... No! No! Leave me my child!
No, he will die. - Yes he will die. - He will die!
All is done. He is in the lair of two fierce lionesses.
Their meal will not last long.
... Oh, Zeus made a wise decision. I almost threw up ... ... It seems that we can continue our affairs ...
Perhaps the new one would have executed Zeus and would have ruled the world ...
Oh no! They haven't a clue what the feeling of motherhood will do to a person!
Freeze you predators! And listen to the goddess Aphrodite!
I helped you when your cubs were born.
Now I am a mother too. Do not hurt him!
Nourish him, teach him, and keep his existence a secret.
... A holiday? ... Of course, the gods have long forgotten story of the Eros ...
Oh ... yeah, I remember, when I myself took over the role of Eros ...
Forgotten ... the story of Eros? ...
... At night ... It's even better ... He didn't do anything bad
Eros....We prefer Hephaestus!
... Ah, Aphrodite, Aphrodite ... All... so beautiful!
Why spoil her charms? ...What do you say ...? Hephaestus did not make her pregnant...
He only assisted ... Maybe ... Ares ... Who was the father of Eros? ...Ares? That would make him the son of a murderer
Hermes reminded me how with fine threads we chained Aphrodite to the bed of Ares
The joke was a success. - How much fun we had Hephaestus ... demanded a ransom ...
Otherwise, he said he wouldn't release them! ... I wish ... I said, to be in place of Ares! ...
It is time for her to forget her grievance. I would be the best for all.
Well, what would the God of Love have given us?
Why love? - Come on ... forget it ... - Do you know?
I have never experienced love. No one has!. Not you, nor you. So ...
It is not difficult to guess what would happen.
say, you, Hephaestus, decided to take Charis as your wife...
Yeah!, with pleasure! Anytime!
But the god of Love would think otherwise!
And by his capricious will, you would fall in love with ...
Ha, ha! A COW !...! Ha-ha-ha!
A bull with horn could show him the way. Ha, ha, ha
Is my order ready? The gift for your son? What, is Eros alive then!?
Oh, please, do not betray my secret to the gods! Keep silent about it!
Yes, I confess that I already knew.
And you..kept silent I kept silent.
As a baby I was thrown from the Olympus into the sea.
You know, for a long time I couldn't forgive the Olympians their wrongs.
Later, they persuaded me.
Oh yes... These will fulfill the desires of my flaming heart!
Yes, give'em, give, give.
I want them, I want. I want Calm down!
- I want to try! - First listen to me carefully - or you won't get the gift!
Remember the main thing: don't waste on animals your golden arrows
- Why not? - Bloodless your hunt will be.
Your arrows can pierce anyone's chest Man or God.
It will ignite the flame of love in his heart.
Give!
He, feeling this hot flame, will be surprised and ask: "What is this?".
You will answer: "Love."
thus everyone will know about the new God, the most almighty!
And will remember your name - Eros!
I want to try how it shoots!
I also wouldn't mind to see it.
See how formidable this God is? His name is Phoebos Apollo.
Go. Try your weapon on him!
What do you want, my child, with such a dangerous weapon?
Do you want to achieve greater glory than me?
Your arrows can strike anyone, Phoebus Apollo
But my arrow will strike... YOU.
What is this?
Love! My name is Eros!
- Eros!? You're still alive?!
Eros!, ros, ros, ros
Eros!
- What... is this?... - Love.
You... are the first to experience it!
