Reversing Greek Mythology

The city of Tiryns in the Argos region was a small city-state not far from Mycenae.

The city of Tiryns was originally ruled by the descendants of Perseus. Because the previous king of Tiryns had no heirs, King Eurystheus of Mycenae gave the throne of Tiryns to his two uncles Atreus. and Thyestes, wanted them to rule the city of Tiryns together.

Atreus had great ambitions and was naturally not willing to be a vassal king of Mycenae.

So Atreus gave up the throne of Tiryns to his younger brother Thyestes, and he remained in Mycenae, waiting to inherit the throne of Mycenae left by Eurystheus after his death.

Thyestes was as ambitious as his brother Atreus. Although he became the king of Tiryns, he still wanted to compete with his brother Atreus for the throne of Mycenae.

After Thyestes hooked up with Atreus's wife and was expelled by Atreus, Tantalus, the heir to the throne of Tiryns, also fled to Sparta to accept his fiancée Clytemnestra. and the protection of Tyndareus, his future father-in-law.

Because there is no royal rule, the city of Tiryns is now ruled by a parliament composed of elders and nobles. When encountering major problems, they seek instructions from the great king who rules the Argos region, King Eurystheus of Mycenae.

The city of Tiryns.

After leaving the city of Thenaron, Luo Yin did not return to the city of Sparta, but came to the city that should be ruled by himself.

When Luo Yin entered the palace hall, he saw that not only was it not deserted as expected, but instead there were more than a dozen nobles enjoying a banquet in the hall.

When Luo Yin observed the nobles of Tiryns, these nobles also saw Luo Yin and regarded Luo Yin as the son of Thyestes, Tantalus III.

"This young man resembles our king Thyestes in his youth."

"Could he be Prince Tantalus?"

"Prince Tantalus is even more timid than his father. He certainly does not dare to return to the city of Tiryns, which is not far from Mycenae."

Luo Yin didn't pay attention to the nobles' words, walked directly to the depths of the hall, sat on his own throne and said.

"You probably thought that Thyestes and Tantalus would never return to the city of Tiryns, so you held a banquet in the palace without authorization and enjoyed the cattle, sheep and wine belonging to Thyestes and Tantalus. But. Now that I'm here, you should pay the price for offending the royal family."

After hearing Luo Yin's words, the nobles who were a little drunk immediately regained their senses and said.

"You...are you really Prince Tantalus?"

"Prince Tantalus is a descendant of the gods. No one would be crazy enough to blaspheme the gods and impersonate his identity."

"No wonder he looks so similar to King Thyestes."

After confirming that Luo Yin was Tantalus, the only heir to the throne of Tiryns City, the nobles looked at each other, and the young noble at the head said with a relaxed smile.

"Prince Tantalus! We held the banquet in the palace to discuss matters of Tiryns. If the prince feels that we have enjoyed the property belonging to the royal family, we are willing to compensate the royal family for their losses."

"I don't accept your compensation!"

Seeing the nobles' eyes widening in surprise, Luo Yin said with a joking sneer.

"As a punishment for you, I ask you to organize a fleet of 300 men to march with me on an expedition to Troy in Asia Minor. I heard that Hercules led a fleet of 300 men to attack Troy. City, I’m going to snatch their spoils.”

Upon hearing Luo Yin's request, the nobles immediately couldn't help shouting.

"You actually want to rob Hercules' trophies. Are you crazy, Prince?"

“The fleet that went on the expedition to Troy included not only the god-like hero Hercules, but also King Peleus of Iolkas of Thessaly, King Oleus of Locris, and King Thes of Salamis. Ramon, they are all heroes as powerful as demigods. How crazy can you be to want to challenge these great heroes?"

"Young prince, forget your crazy ideas."

Peleus originally married the daughter of King Eurytion of Phthia, then killed his father-in-law Eurytion while the heroes were hunting the Calydon boar, and succeeded to the throne as king of Phthia.

Later, Peleus was not satisfied with the land of Phthia, so he killed Asong's cousin, Acastus, the king of Iolkas, and seized the throne of Iolkas.

King Oleus of Locris was the father of Ajax the Younger, the hero of the Trojan War.

Telamon was the brother of Peleus. He married the princess of Salamis and succeeded to the throne as king of Salamis.

Seeing the horrified reaction of the nobles in Tiryns City, Luo Yin raised the divine spear with his right hand and said.

"Hercules, Peleus, Telamon, Oreus - just thinking of the names of these great heroes makes you so afraid that you dare not become enemies with them. It seems that you all cherish your lives. If you refuse to obey my orders, I will kill you now and make you the undead ruled by Persephone, Queen of Hades.”

After being threatened with death by Luo Yin, the leader of the nobles gritted his teeth and said.

"We can provide you with ships and soldiers, but you cannot involve us in your expedition."

"No problem! I didn't intend to let you share the loot with me."

Hearing Luo Yin's answer, the noble leader smiled bitterly.

"Prince! Do you really think you can defeat the great heroes Hercules, Peleus, Telamon, and Oreus with three hundred soldiers?"

"I don't need to answer your question. Go and prepare warships and soldiers for me."

After driving all the nobles away, Luo Yin closed his eyes and fell asleep directly on the throne.

the next day.

Luo Yin took six warships and 300 soldiers provided by the nobles and set out from the port to the city of Troy.

When Hercules completed the task assigned to him by King Eurystheus of Mycenae and snatched the golden belt of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, he once passed by the wealthy city of Troy on his way back and tried to conquer it. Troy City.

Due to lack of preparation at the time, Heracles's attempt to conquer Troy ultimately failed.

Now that Heracles had completed his final mission and returned from the underworld, he immediately took Peleus, Telamon, and Oleus on an expedition to the city of Troy, hoping to wash away the shame of failing to conquer the city of Troy in the past. .

When Luoyin arrived at the coast of Troy with his fleet, King Laomedon of Troy had been killed by Hercules along with his sons because he went out to fight in the city. Only his youngest son, the future The Trojan king Priam became a prisoner of Peleus.

Although the king and most of the soldiers were defeated and killed outside the city, the Trojans did not give up the fight.

Just when Heracles and others were about to break through the city gate of Troy, Luoyin led his soldiers to attack Heracles and others from behind.

Hercules' soldiers were exhausted after a hard battle.

Luo Yin led the soldiers to charge and killed all 300 soldiers of Hercules.

Oreus, king of Locris, had died in battle with Laomedon, king of Troy.

After all Hercules' soldiers died, only Hercules, Peleus and Telamon were left on the battlefield.
