Olympus
Zeus reigns high on the bright Olympus, surrounded by a host of gods.
Here is his wife Hera, and the golden haired Apollo with his sister Artemis, and the golden Aphrodite, and the mighty daughter of Zeus Athena, and many other gods.
Three beautiful Oras guard the entrance to the high Olympus and raise a thick cloud that closes the gate when the gods descend to earth or ascend to the bright palaces of Zeus.
High above Olympus, the blue, bottomless sky stretches wide, and golden light pours from it.
There is no rain or snow in the kingdom of Zeus; it is always a bright, joyful summer there.
And below the clouds swirl, sometimes they cover the distant earth.
There, on earth, spring and summer are replaced by autumn and winter, joy and fun are replaced by misery and grief.
True, the gods also know sorrows, but they soon pass, and joy is established again on Olympus.
The gods are feasting in their golden palaces, built by the son of Zeus, Hephaestus.
King Zeus sits on a high golden throne.
The courageous, divinely beautiful face of Zeus breathes with greatness and proudly calm consciousness of power and might.
At his throne is the goddess of peace Eirena and the constant companion of Zeus, the winged goddess of victory Nike.
Here comes the beautiful, majestic goddess Hera, the wife of Zeus.
Zeus honors his wife: all the gods of Olympus surround Hera, the patroness of marriage, with honor.
When, resplendent with her beauty, in a magnificent outfit, the great Hera enters the banquet hall, all the gods stand up and bow before the wife of the thunderer Zeus.
And she, proud of her power, goes to the golden throne and sits next to the king of gods and people – Zeus.
Near the throne of Hera stands her messenger, the goddess of the rainbow, the light winged Iris, always ready to quickly fly on rainbow wings to fulfill the commands of Hera to the farthest edges of the earth.
The daughter of Zeus, the young Hebe, and the son of the king of Troy, Ganymede, the favorite of Zeus, who received immortality from him, bring them ambrosia and nectar – the food and drink of the gods.
Beautiful harits and muses delight them with singing and dancing.
Holding hands, they lead round dances, and the gods admire their light movements and wonderful, eternally young beauty.
At these feasts, the gods decide all matters, they determine the fate of the world and people.
From Olympus, Zeus sends out his gifts to people and establishes order and laws on earth.
The fate of people is in the hands of Zeus; happiness and misfortune, good and evil, life and death are all in his hands.
Two large vessels stand at the gates of the palace of Zeus.
In one vessel are the gifts of good, in the other – of evil.
Zeus draws good and evil from them and sends them to people.
Woe to the person to whom the thunderer draws gifts only from a vessel with evil.
Woe to the one who violates the order established by Zeus on earth and does not observe his laws.
The son of Cronus will move his thick eyebrows menacingly, then black clouds will cover the sky.
The great Zeus will be angry, and the hair on his head will rise terribly, his eyes will light up with an unbearable brilliance; he will wave his right hand – thunderclaps will roll all over the sky, flaming lightning will flash, and high Olympus will shake.
Zeus is not the only one who keeps the laws.
The goddess Themis, who keeps the laws, stands at his throne.
She convenes, at the behest of the thunderer, meetings of the gods on the bright Olympus, people's meetings on earth, watching that order and law are not violated.
On Olympus, and the daughter of Zeus, the goddess Dike, watching over justice.
Zeus severely punishes unrighteous judges when Dike informs him that they do not observe the laws given by Zeus.
The goddess Dike is the defender of truth and the enemy of deception.
Zeus keeps order and truth in the world and sends people happiness and grief.
But although Zeus sends happiness and misfortune to people, yet the fate of people is determined by the inexorable goddesses of fate moira, who live on the bright Olympus.
The fate of Zeus himself is in their hands.
Fate rules over mortals and over the gods.
No one can escape from the dictates of inexorable fate.
There is no such force, no such power that could change at least something in what is intended for gods and mortals.
Only humbly can you bow before fate and submit to it.
Only the moirs know the dictates of fate.
Moira Clotho spins the life thread of a person, determining the duration of his life.
The thread will break, and life will end.
Moira Lachesis takes out, without looking, the lot that falls to a person in life.
No one can change the fate determined by the moirs, since the third moira, Atropos, puts everything that was assigned to a person in her sister's life in a long scroll, and what is entered in the scroll of fate is inevitable.
The great, harsh moirs are inexorable.
There is also a goddess of fate on Olympus – this is the goddess Tyuhe, the goddess of happiness and prosperity.
From the horn of plenty, the horn of the divine goat Amalthea, with whose milk Zeus himself was fed, she will send gifts to people, and happy is the person who meets the goddess of happiness Tuhe on his life path; but how rare it happens, and how unhappy is the person from whom the goddess Tuhe, who just gave him her gifts, will turn away!
So the great king of men and gods Zeus reigns surrounded by a host of bright gods on Olympus, guarding order and truth throughout the world.
