#6 My Story- Conflict

Erysichthon was caught attempting to chop down my special tree, as you may have heard. And even if you didn't figure that out quite yet, you should realize that caused a lot of conflict. That oak tree was my favorite. Also, the people of Thessaly worshiped it, along with yours truly. I was extremely upset when Erysichthon hurt it by putting a blade to its strong bark. Nobody harms the nature of Demeter! Nobody! After all, that is what I am the goddess of. It's my passion.'

And yeah, my anger went towards putting a curse on the evil King. But what is worse? He tried to sell his daughter to a sailor in order to overcome the curse. How pathetic! At least he had gotten the chance to have his own daughter.. (that was for you, Hades). Associated with this is somewhat of another conflict. When Mestra was crying out in hope that she would not be taken away from her hometown and father when the sailor arrives to the shore, Poseidon heard her. He was angry with Erysichthon's decision, and turned Mestra into numerous other characters every time her father attempted to sell her.

Ultimately, just appreciate nature for what it is, and you won't end up making your daughter and a couple of gods upset with you.
