Game World: Starting Through Cyberpunk

In the next few days, Jiang Heng began to gradually become familiar with the power of the God Sect, and then helped Aspassia clean up some thorns.

In the game, Pericles is killed by Demos, that is, Alexios, and in fact, Pericles had an incurable disease before he was killed, and even if he was not killed, he would not live long.

Now Pericles is in such a state, and Aspasia is worthy of being a man with skills, and she almost controls the military power of Athens when Pericles, the leader, fell ill and the most powerful general Cleon was killed.

Someone against? The pottery banishment method to understand.

Athens now practices democracy, of course, this democracy is very different from modern democracy, because this democracy is really only for citizens.

So what kind of person can be called a citizen of Athens?

It refers to adult men who own certain property, can prepare their own armed military service, and whose ancestry is in Athens.

Children, women, and migrant Gentiles and slaves were not citizens.

During the ancient Greek period, Athens had a large population, and about a third of the entire Greek population gathered here, so Athens also became a large city-state. But citizens make up only a small fraction.933

The pottery banishment method was to write on the pottery tablets the names of those who were unpopular, extremely prestigious, popular, and most likely to become tyrants, and voted to banish politicians who tried to threaten Athenian democracy.

That is, no conviction is required, only a certain number of people who feel that this person is dangerous to Athens, then they can be expelled.

Modern people can see the great flaws of this system at a glance, because with a little guidance of public opinion, an enemy can be easily killed.

It may not even be necessary to guide public opinion, just use your hands and feet when voting.

Now that Aspassia controls almost the entire military and political power of Greece, it is easy to control the exile of pottery pieces.

Sometimes, democracy can be more authoritarian than autocracy.

And Aspacia also has the backing of the God Sect, although the current power of the God Sect is not fully integrated, but Aspasia now has real power, and can do more things than before.

Coupled with the gold medalist Alexios, Aspassia has become the uncrowned queen who obeys the curtain of Athens.

Now Jiang Heng is also happy to solve some things for Asparsia, such as cracking down on the merchants who originally belonged to the God Sect, they were originally affiliated with the Silver Vein Branch, but now they have independently established a Chamber of Commerce.

These forces, Aspassia, naturally wanted to take them back.

At this time, Jiang Heng's help to Aspacia is equivalent to receiving a commission, and he can get a transfer of energy.

Of course, in fact, all this is just doing things for Jiang Heng himself, after all, the real master of the God Sect now is Jiang Heng.

At the same time, Aspassia also sent members of the Divine Sect under Jiang Heng's order to inquire about the news of Mirinne, the mother of Kassandra's two siblings.

......

In this way, time passed day by day, and Jiang Heng lived comfortably in Athens.

Aspassia is equivalent to the queen of Athens, and Jiang Heng is the queen... The man behind it.

On this day, Asparsia feasted in the courtyard of Pericles, and all those who could come were celebrities, such as Socrates, Herodotus and the like.

Previously, Jiang Heng and others had already had a relationship with Herodotus in Phokis, and at that time, Herodotus also wanted to meet the oracle and seek a way to bring Greece to peace.

And because of Jiang Heng's intervention, Herodotus only managed to meet her after Pythia joined the Divine Sect.

So Pythia said two words to Herodo: unity.

Herodotus, a wise man, soon guessed that Pythia meant that the war would not cease until Greece truly became a unified nation.

But this is not the answer Herodotus wanted, because in its current form, the probability of finally unifying Greece would be Sparta.

The Spartan guys, the brains (BBDC) are full of muscles, they are very good at fighting and fighting, but it is still okay to rule the country.

So Herodotus wanted to ask again, but Pythia rejected Herodotus, adhering to the principle that the oracle is to say half and keep half.

Later, Herodotus returned to Athens, and after pondering it, he felt that the best choice was to let Athens unify Greece.

But Athens was now losing ground on the battlefield, and if it weren't for the sudden burp of a king of Sparta a few days earlier, Sparta would now probably be pushing the front to Attica.

And the Athens side can be said to be a mess, the leader Pericles is sick and bedridden, looking at the form, it is estimated that he will not live long, and the general Kleon also burped not long ago, this is still engaged in wool? (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

But soon Herodotus discovered that something was wrong, and the situation in Athens did not seem to be as bad as he thought.

There seems to be a big hand behind it controlling Athens, and it gradually controls the chaos in Athens.

Herodotus naturally did not know that all this was Asparthea as the pusher.

......

Many celebrities were drinking and chatting in the lobby, and these celebrities had quite a lot of fun.

Let's say the guy named Alcibiades, who brought a goat!

The most unacceptable thing is that this guy warmly invited him to play with Jiang Heng when he saw him, and Jiang Heng almost couldn't resist cutting him at that time.

Alcibiades is not a trick character, this guy is a brilliant politician, orator.

Of course, the most significant legacy of Alcibiades in history is his connection to the decline of Athens.

The decline of Athens began with the Sicilian expedition, which consumed a great deal of Athens' resources and failed.

And the Sicilian expedition was the brainchild of Alcibiades.

......

The guests were drinking and playing in the hall, while Jiang Heng and Aspacia were talking in a certain room.

"In other words, it really doesn't matter if you haven't gone out for so long?" Jiang Heng asked.

"Don't talk, concentrate!"

Jiang Heng: "..."

This woman seems to be a little addicted!

Asparcia followed Pericles only for power, she wanted to control Athens.

But the philosophical atmosphere of ancient Greece was so strong that Pericles "stirred" with young boys all day long, and did not look at Aspasia at all.

If it were not for the Athenian law that it was a crime for an adult to be single for no reason, Pericles probably would not have intended to take a wife.

Yes, Athens does have this law that seems absurd.

And this is actually quite normal for ancient Greece, because the popularity of men and men, without this rule, many men may not really marry wives.

Isn't that the end of it? In times like these, population is crucial for a country, without which everything is for nothing.

All the laws that seem absurd seem quite necessary in Athens at this time.
