Two Nymphs and The Throne
Every
month the Greeks have a great feast to honor Zeus. Everyone, even
children, must bring a gift. Many nymphs vowed to bring a gift every
month, including Golderiana. She has a daughter, named Goldiathrone,
who also vowed to bring a gift. Goldiathrone and her mother weren't
able to bring their gifts, because a couple of trouble-making birds
had stolen their gifts. The two nymphs were minding their own
business, when two small birds came down from a high branch , opened
their beaks, and grabbed the gifts. The nymphs tried to catch the
birds, but they were too fast.
Zeus was angry with the two nymphs and decided to
punish them. All of the other gods and goddesses did not like the
idea of punishing the nymphs, but if they disagreed, then they would
also be punished. Zeus turned Goldiathrone into a beautiful golden
throne. Then Zeus sent Golderiana down to the underworld to be a
slave of Hades. Hades didn't enjoy Golderiana's attitude, so he
poisoned Golderiana and sent her spirit up to Zeus, and there, the
spirit soaked into the throne. Golderiana's spirit met with
Goldiathrone's spirit and both spirits vowed to try and keep Zeus off
the throne.
Every time Zeus tried to sit in the throne, the
spirits would rock and tip the throne to make Zeus fall to earth.
When Zeus fell and landed on earth, the ground beneath him, and
around him, would shake violently. Zeus never gave up on trying to
sit in the golden throne, but he fell every time he attempted to sit
in the mystical and golden throne.
