在很久很久以前,众神居住在美丽的奥林匹斯山上。
其中,最强大的神是雷神宙斯。
他手持闪电长矛,掌控着天空和风雨。
有一天,海神波塞冬对宙斯的统治产生了不满,他认为自己掌管海洋,同样强大,应该成为众神的领袖。
于是,一场激烈的神战爆发了。
波塞冬召唤出巨大的海怪,向奥林匹斯山发起攻击。
而宙斯则用他的闪电长矛抵挡住海怪的冲击。
他们的战斗震动了整个世界,大地裂开,海水翻滚。
看到这样的景象,其他神祇们纷纷加入战斗。
有的帮助宙斯,有的支持波塞冬。
战争越来越激烈,似乎没有尽头。
然而,就在这时,智慧女神雅典娜提出了一个建议。
她提议让众神选出一位公正的裁判,来决定谁才是真正的领袖。
众神一致同意,最终选出了月亮女神阿尔忒弥斯作为裁判。
阿尔忒弥斯经过深思熟虑,宣布宙斯为胜利者。
因为她认为,虽然波塞冬的力量强大,但宙斯更加公正无私,更适合领导众神。
这场神战终于结束,众神恢复了和平。
他们共同庆祝这个结果,并承诺以后要和睦相处,不再发生争斗。
从那以后,每当人们仰望星空,看到明亮的月光,就会想起那个决定命运的夜晚,以及那位公正的月亮女神阿尔忒弥斯。
Long, long ago, the gods lived on the beautiful Mount Olympus.
Among them, the most powerful god was Zeus, the god of thunder.
He wielded a spear of lightning and controlled the sky and the weather.
One day, Poseidon, the god of the sea, grew dissatisfied with Zeus's rule. He believed that as he governed the oceans, he was equally powerful and should be the leader of the gods.
Thus, a fierce war between the gods broke out.
Poseidon summoned a giant sea monster and launched an attack on Mount Olympus.
Zeus, however, countered the monster's assault with his lightning spear.
Their battle shook the entire world, causing the earth to split and the seas to churn.
Seeing this spectacle, the other gods joined the fight.
Some sided with Zeus, while others supported Poseidon.
The war grew more intense, seemingly without end.
But then, at that moment, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, proposed a suggestion.
She suggested that the gods choose a fair judge to decide who the true leader should be.
The gods agreed unanimously and ultimately chose Artemis, the moon goddess, as the judge.
After deep contemplation, Artemis declared Zeus as the winner.
She believed that although Poseidon was powerful, Zeus was more just and selfless, making him a better fit to lead the gods.
The war of the gods finally ended, and peace was restored among them.
They celebrated this outcome together and pledged to live in harmony and avoid conflicts in the future.
From that time on, whenever people looked up at the night sky and saw the bright moonlight, they would remember that fateful night and the fair moon goddess, Artemis.
