The origin story of the Trojan War is also fascinating. It all began with the judgment of Paris. Three goddesses - Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite - vied for a golden apple inscribed 'for the fairest'. Paris, a Trojan prince, was chosen to decide. Aphrodite promised him the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen of Sparta. So Paris abducted Helen, which led to the Greeks' ten - year - long siege of Troy.

Another great Greek origin story is that of Demeter and Persephone. Persephone was the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of the harvest. Hades, the god of the underworld, fell in love with Persephone and abducted her. Demeter was so distraught that she let the earth become barren. Eventually, a deal was made that Persephone would spend part of the year in the underworld and part on earth, which is said to be the origin of the seasons.

One well - known Greek origin story is that of Pandora. Zeus created Pandora as a punishment for mankind. She was given a box (or jar in some versions) and was told not to open it. But her curiosity got the better of her, and when she opened it, all the evils of the world - like sickness, death, and misfortune - were released, leaving only hope inside the box.

"Just to liven things up." Interviewer: "Well, I mean, did you reorganize the Great Ming Dynasty and plant the Seven Immortal Gourds based on the laws of myriad spirits, brewing the Spring of Spirit Qi for the glory of mankind or...?" "Just to really liven things up." Interviewer: "No, Immortal Zhou Li, I feel that you've done so much for humanity, for the Immortal Realm, and for Da Ming. Your purpose and starting point should be a bit more noble, such as...?" "Enough already, can't you see? I just wanted to bring some entertainment to the spiritually impoverished Great Ming Dynasty and everyone in the Cultivation World. Here, let's liven things up for everyone."

For Dionysus, his origin is rather complex. He was the son of Zeus and a mortal woman, Semele. Hera, Zeus' wife, tricked Semele into asking Zeus to show his true form to her. Zeus, bound by his promise, showed his true form which was so powerful that it killed Semele. But Zeus saved Dionysus by sewing him into his thigh until he was ready to be born. Dionysus was the god of wine, celebration, and theater, and his origin story reflects the mix of the divine and the mortal in Greek mythology.

One well - known origin story is that of Zeus. He was the son of Cronus and Rhea. Cronus, fearing that his children would overthrow him as he had overthrown his own father, swallowed his children as soon as they were born. But Rhea managed to save Zeus by hiding him and giving Cronus a stone wrapped in cloth instead. Zeus grew up and eventually overthrew Cronus and became the king of the gods.

Well, the origin stories of Greek gods are full of wonder. Hephaestus, for instance, was born deformed. His mother Hera was so disgusted that she threw him from Olympus. But he was later made into a great smith god. The origin stories also show the nature of the gods. Ares, the god of war, was born into a world where violence and conflict were part of the fabric of existence.
