Knossos City, the residence of the Goddess of the Hearth.
Three virgin goddesses were seated together in the living room, tasting fruit pastries before their meal while waiting for the sumptuous food to be served.
And, to pass the time, they naturally started discussing several major events that had recently transpired on Mount Olympus.
First, due to lax control, Sea Beasts from the Sea of Okeanos had proliferated and attacked the surrounding human cities. Poseidon, as the god of the ocean, was summoned by the Divine King Zeus to Olympus and severely reprimanded.
To compensate for the losses of the human city-states and to showcase the deities' benevolence, Zeus required Poseidon to grant the afflicted human cities three years of abundant fish and precious minerals and seafood from the Sea of Okeanos.
Among them, the compensation awarded to Crete Island, which had suffered the most, was undoubtedly the most generous.
