The Genealogy XXIV
There, the dark earth, the dark abyss, the surging sea, the starry sky, the source and end of everything are arranged in order, terrible and damp, and the gods are also frightened by it. There, the doors shimmer and the bronze thresholds are solid, unshakable and natural. The Titans dwell on the side far from the gods, opposite the dark abyss. While the famous helpers of Thunderous Zeus, Cotos and Gugeus, lived at the bottom of Ocanos, and Briarus, for his bravery, became the son-in-law of the roaring earth-shaking god, who promised him his daughter Cumeperia.
But when Zeus banished the Titans from the sky, Caea, the goddess of the vast land, befriended Tartarus through the blond Aphrodite and gave birth to a young son, Typhon. His arms were strong in his work, and the legs of this mighty god never wept, and from his shoulders grew 100 snake heads—a terrible python spitting black letters, spitting fire from his terrible head over his strange head, under his eyebrows; {As he looks, flames come and go from all heads}; And the voices that come from all the terrible heads speak all the indescribable sounds. Sometimes, it is a voice that the gods can understand; Sometimes it is the roar of the bull, unstoppable and high-pitched; Sometimes it is the roar of a lion with a cruel temperament; Sometimes it sounds like a dog barking, and sometimes his hiss echoes in the mountains. And at that time, terrible things happened on that day. If the father of the gods and men does not see quickly, Typhon will rule over the dead and the immortal. His roar was sharp and powerful, and the earth around him and the vast sky above it, as well as the oceans, Oceanic god Ocenos, the currents, and the abyss of the earth all reverberated terribly. When the Lord of God attacks, when the master of the majestic Mount Olympus rises to action, it shakes under the feet of the immortal and the earth creaks. The heat comes from both sides, from thunder and lightning, monster flames, strong winds and scorching thunderbolts, shrouding the blue sea. The whole earth is boiling, and the sky and the sea. The great waves rushed to the coast from all sides under the attack of the immortals, and the irrepressible shock arose, and Hades, the lord of the undead in the underworld, trembled with fear from the irrepressible sound of fighting and the fight to the death, as did the Titans around Kronos in the abyss#Mythology##Literary and artistic appreciation##Sharing masterpieces# #古典诗歌欣赏#
