Reversing Greek Mythology

The city of Sparta.

After his sister Helen was snatched away, his two brothers Polydeuces and Castor led a fleet to the city of Athens. Even Luo Yin, the fiancée, went to rescue his fiancée's sister.

Now the only royal family in Sparta is Clytemnestra and her father Tyndareos, so she has to guard the walls of Sparta every day, waiting for the return of these important family members.

In the evening when night falls.

After waiting on the city wall for a day, there was still no sign of the family returning to Sparta.

Just as Clytemnestra was about to return to the palace, a burst of rapid horse hooves approached the city of Sparta.

Clytemnestra looked towards the direction where the sound of horse hoofbeats came from, and was pleasantly surprised to see her sister Helen and her fiancé Luo Yin sitting on the horse.

"Is this my imagination? Did Tantalus really bring Helen back?"

Without any time to think, Clytemnestra hurriedly ran down from the city wall.

When the horses that Luo Yin and Helen were riding stopped their galloping hooves in front of the city gate of Sparta, Clytemnestra happened to run out through the city gate.

"Helen!"

"elder sister!"

After the two sisters cried excitedly and called each other, Luo Yin picked up Helen from the horse and put her on the ground, letting the two sisters hug each other.

Clytemnestra asked with concern after holding Helen tightly in her arms.

"Helen, have you been hurt during this time?"

Helen shook her head and said.

"Because I was still a little girl, Theseus did not do anything to harm me, and his mother Aethra raised me as a granddaughter."

"You must remember the lesson of this time. Wherever you go from now on, you will have to take a hundred soldiers with you to protect your safety."

At this time Luo Yin had jumped off the horse.

After Clytemnestra warned Helen seriously, she looked at Luo Yin with grateful eyes and said.

"Dear Tantalus, thank you for bringing my sister back."

Luo Yin said with a smile.

"Since you are my fiancée, then Helen is not only your sister, but also my sister. It is natural for me to save my sister. Now your father Tyndareus doesn't know that Helen is back. News, let’s go to the palace to meet him!”

"Um!"

Clytemnestra nodded in agreement, and the three of them walked to the palace.

The royal palace of Sparta.

hall.

The aged King Tyndareus of Sparta was sitting on the throne, having a dinner with a group of equally aged Spartan city elders.

Luo Yin, Clytemnestra, and Helen entered the hall. Tyndareos on the throne immediately opened his eyes, looking at Helen's figure in a daze and said.

"Am I out of my mind...thinking other girls are my Helen, or is my lovely daughter really back?"

"Father, you read that right, I'm really back."

Helen immediately ran to Tyndareus, sat on the throne with his father and said coquettishly.

"Did Dad miss me during the time we were separated?"

"I miss my lovely Helen every day. I even lose my appetite for food."

Tyndareus fondly touched Helen's beautiful blond hair and said.

"I should really thank Polydeuces and Castor for rescuing you so quickly."

"Father, the people who saved me were not my brothers Polydeuces and Castor, but my sister's fiancé Tantalus."

"You said Tantalus saved you—"

Tyndareos turned his head in surprise and stared at Luo Yin's figure with deep eyes.

Seeing Tyndareus looking at her fiancé like this for the first time, Clytemnestra said immediately.

"Dear father! Tantalus rescued Helen and proved that he is a true young hero with his bravery. As a reward for him, I hope you can hold a wedding for us as soon as possible and make me his real wife. "

Tyndareus seemed not to have heard Clytemnestra's words.

After looking at Luo Yin for a while, he waved his hand and said.

"You all go out, I want to talk to Tantalus alone."

After Clytemnestra and Helen left the hall with the elders attending the dinner with doubts in their hearts, Tyndareos looked at Luo Yin with solemn eyes and said.

"Tantaros! Others say you are a coward, a loser who can only rely on women for protection, but I have never broken off your engagement with Clytemnestra - do you know why?"

Luo Yin nodded and said.

"You want to leave the throne of Sparta to Helen and her future husband! If Clytemnestra marries a powerful husband, you are worried that Clytemnestra will compete with Helen for the right to inherit the throne in the future. . So for Helen, you are willing to sacrifice Clytemnestra's happiness and marry her to a weak and incompetent husband."

"This is indeed the real reason why I agreed to marry Clytemnestra to you. But now you have exceeded my expectations and are no longer a threat to Helen."

"So you now want to break off my engagement to Clytemnestra?"

Seeing Tyndareos's silent answer, Luo Yin sneered and teased.

"They are all your daughters, and you are really a good father to Clytemnestra. According to the rules of this era, an unmarried daughter belongs to her father. You have the power to dissolve Clytemnestra and me. engagement, so you don’t have to worry about my revenge.”

After saying that, Luo Yin turned around and left the hall.

When he reached the entrance of the hall, Luo Yin suddenly stopped and said.

"King Tyndareus! You are now over sixty years old, which means you were over fifty before Helen was born. Is Helen really your daughter?"

"Helen is not my daughter. Is she the daughter of Zeus, as the ignorant people say?"

Although in the myths fabricated by humans hundreds of years later, Tyndareus was a great villain who helped Zeus raise his children. His two sons Polydeuces and Castor and his two daughters Clu Tennestra and Helen are both children of Zeus.

But in the original myth, the children of Tyndareus had nothing to do with Zeus.

To be precise, they are not worthy to be children of Zeus at all.

Heroes such as Perseus and Hercules who were deified as the sons of Zeus all have one characteristic in common, which is that they made great contributions to the prosperity of the Kingdom of Mycenae and the spread of the belief in Zeus.

Polydeuces and Castor were Spartans, the city they defended was Sparta, and the god they defended was Hera.

Hundreds of years later, humans deified Polydeuces and Castor as the sons of Zeus because they made an expedition to the city of Athens, caused King Theseus to lose his throne, and captured Avdena where Helen was hiding. city.

The Mycenaeans launched several wars of conquest against the Kingdom of Athens. Not only did they fail to win, but they also captured a king.

For the Mycenaeans, Polydeuces and Castor could bring the city of Athens to its knees. They must be the sons of Zeus, and their strength must also originate from Zeus.

Helen was the most beautiful woman in the world, and her beauty must also come from Zeus.

Although it was normal for Tyndareus to give birth to Helen at the age of fifty, Luo Yin still said it deliberately in order to take revenge on his former father-in-law.

"Maybe Helen is the incarnation of the goddess Hera!"

After saying that, Luo Yin walked out of the hall directly.
