Not yet been a mandarin, daring to threaten others

Once upon a time, a small village had a poor student but study very good. He got Gods’ noticing. Gods had written in fate-note that he would pass contests then would be a powerful mandarin. The village had a temple where was abode of a god. The god had seen fate note so he always respected him. Whenever the student went cross the temple the god always stood up and bowed his head although the student didn’t see.
One day, temple keeper was sleeping he saw the god appeared and said that: “Tomorrow you have to clean the temple, a powerful mandarin will come.”
The temple keeper did and he also stood at temple gate entire day to wait the guest but he only saw a poor student who came to take a rest. The temple keeper thought that was a normal person so he didn’t pay attention.
Not yet been a mandarin, daring to threaten others
Days latter, the god appeared in dream of the temple keeper again and said like the before time. That time he also saw no more than the the student. The student spoke a poem then he left. But the temple keeper still didn’t think the powerful mandarin the good had said was the student. Until the third time the god appeared and all things, another time, happened as before times. That time he believed the student was exactly the powerful mandarin. Then he said to the student about his dreams.
“God have said me three times so I believe you will pass contests and be a powerful mandarin.”, he said
After hearing each word of the temple keeper the student believed that he will pass the contests. He dreamed, dreamed about his future his luxury life. Then, he thought about his wife his wife had very little beauty. He dreamed about a wife who had beauty as the moon. He thought: “When I am mandarin women will surround closely so I should get my wife left and I will have another, beautiful and maybe noble.”
The next day, he had an argument with his wife and insisted to leave. People ridiculed him but he ignored them.
One day, a person went to get refunds the student had borrowed him but when he just had set his foot on the student’s garden. The student pointed at his face and shouted: “I will refund you latter. You should know maybe I will build my house on your garden.”(New mandarins were allowed to get a hectare of land wherever they wanted).
His mentality was changed, being arrogant. He threatened people who made him fell unpleasant.
“I will punish you.”, he said.
Of course, all actions he had done were observed by gods and they were reported to king of gods. The king was unpleasant. Therefore, he ordered fate-note keeper to rewrite.
Shortly after, the god appeared one more time in the dream of the temple keeper. That time he said to the temple keeper: “You don’t need to be polite to the student the fate note was rewritten he will not pass contests.”
“Why?”, said the temple keeper.
“He has become bad. He divorced his wife who had lived with him although he was a poor student. He became arrogant though he still hasn’t passed contests. He has never been a mandarin but he became the bad man. That is too bad.”, said the god. The god disappeared.
Course, the student couldn’t pass any contest. He also couldn’t remarry to his wife. he lived lonely in increasing poor life.
So people said:
“Not yet been a mandarin, daring to threaten others.”
The end.🎭🎭🎭

Danaus

Loud was the song of the Muses about Danaus, first of a line of great kings and heroes. King Danaus of Libya had fifty daughters, his brother, King Aegyptus, had fifty sons. The fifty sons wanted to marry the fifty daughters, but they were rough and rowdy and King Danaus did not want them for sons-in-law. He feared that they might carry off his daughters by force, so secretly he built a ship with fifty oars and fled with his daughters. The fifty princesses pulled at the oars and rowed the ship across the wide sea. They reached Argos, in Greece, and when the people there saw the king standing in the prow of a gorgeous ship rowed by princesses, they were awed. They were certain that Danaus had been sent by the gods, and made him their king. Danaus was a good ruler, and peace and happiness reigned in Argos until one day another splendid ship arrived. And who should be at the oars but King Aegyptus' fifty sons, who had come to claim their brides. Danaus did not dare to oppose th...

Briareus, Gyges and Cottus

BRIAREOS (Briareus) was one of the Hekantonkheires (Hecatoncheires), three primordial hundred-handed, fifty-headed storm giants. He was more specifically a god of sea-storms and in this guise he was often named Aigaion (Of the Aegean). Briareos wed Poseidon 's daughter Kymopoleia ("Wave-Ranging") and dwelt with her in the depths of the sea. His two brothers, on the other hand, were appointed guardians of the gates of the storm-pit Tartaros. According to some Aigaios (Aegaeus) was a storm-giant ally of the Titanes and father of Briareos instead of a just a by-name of Briareos himself. AEGAEON (Aigaiôn), a son of Uranus by Gaea . Aegaeon and his brothers Gyges and Cottus are known under the name of the Uranids, and are described as huge monsters with a hundred arms (hekatoncheires) and fifty heads. Most writers mention the third Uranid under the name of Briareus instead of Aegaeon, which is explained in a passage of Homer, who says that men called him Aegaeon, but ...

The First Labour: The Nemean Lion

THE First Labour which Eurystheus imposed on Heracles , when he came to reside at Tiryns, was to kill and flay the Nemean, or Cleonaean lion, an enormous beast with a pelt proof against iron, bronze, and stone. b. Although some call this lion the offspring of Typhon , or of the Chimaera and the Dog Orthrus , others say that Selene bore it with a fearful shudder and dropped it to earth on Mount Tretus near Nemea, beside a two-mouthed cave; and that, in punishment for an unfulfilled sacrifice, she set it to prey upon her own people, the chief sufferers being the Bambinaeaus. c. Still others say that, at Hera’s desire, Selene created the lion from sea foam enclosed in a large ark; and that Iris, binding it with her girdle, carried it to the Nemean mountains. These were named after a daughter of Asopus, or of Zeus and Selene; and the lion’s cave is still shown about two miles from the city of Nemea. d. Arriving at Cleonae, between Corinth and Argos, Heracles lodged in the hou...
