Reversing Greek Mythology

Mycenae.

Hercules' palace.

As the family of Heracles gathered in the hall to mourn his death, a special guest came to the hall - King Eurystheus of Mycenae.

Seeing Eurystheus, Hercules' elderly mother Alcmene came to the king and said coldly.

"What are you doing here? Is Hercules already dead? Do you still want his undead to complete the mission you gave him in the underworld?"

Hearing Alcmene's words, Eurystheus sighed and said.

"It's okay if others don't know! Could it be that my aunt, like those ignorant outsiders, thinks that I am jealous of Hercules' talent, afraid of Hercules' power, and want to kill Hercules with those dangerous tasks? These things Over the years, which task I have given to Hercules is not for Zeus and for all the Mycenaeans? As the high priest who serves Zeus, I have also given Hercules the highest reward, allowing him to become Zeus. Son. Now I will make Heracles after death a heroic god who is worshiped and believed in like my ancestor Perseus.”

Alcmene immediately fell silent, because the tasks Eurystheus had given Heracles over the years had indeed no selfish motives.

After a while, seeing Eurystheus standing unsteadily, Alcmene couldn't help but say.

"Eurystheus, you were born weak and sickly, and now you are fifty years old. There is no need to torture your sickly body."

"I have a reason to come to see you."

Eurystheus said with a guilty expression.

"Although Hercules is dead, I now want to give the final task to you, Hercules' family members - please leave the city of Mycenae and move to the north of Thessaly."

"Are you worried that the child of Hercules threatens the throne of your daughter, Princess Artemeta?"

Alcmene sneered.

"Don't worry, we will leave by boat from a nearby port soon."

Eurystheus shook his head and explained.

"Auntie, you misunderstood! My two uncles Atreus and Thyestes have long been eyeing the throne left after my death. I asked you to leave the city of Mycenae as soon as possible because I am afraid that you will be harmed by Atreus. And I received an oracle from the great Zeus that the Dorians in the north of Thessaly will conquer the Peloponnese in more than a hundred years. I hope you will take Heracles with you. The children of Hercules went to the area where the Dorians lived, and let the children of Hercules conquer the Dorians. In this way, more than a hundred years later, it was no longer the Dorians, but the Hercules who conquered the Peloponnese. The Dorians ruled by the descendants of Racles.”

Having said this, Eurystheus whispered to himself.

"It's a pity that the great Zeus told me that by doing this, I can only let the Mycenaeans claim in mythology that the Peloponnese Peninsula will be conquered by the descendants of Heracles in the future. In the so-called real world, the conquest of Peloponnese The Dorians of the Pennesian Peninsula not only had nothing to do with Heracles, they would also destroy the Mycenaean civilization.”

Knowing that she had misunderstood Eurystheus, Alcmene bowed her head in shame and said.

"Since this is an arrangement made by the great Zeus, of course we will not go against Zeus's will."

"Aunt! I would like to make a request to you in my personal capacity. Please do not take a boat, but go by land - through Attica to the north of Thessaly."

"Can you tell me the reason?"

"Menastheus, a descendant of Pandion I, replaced Theseus, a descendant of Pandion II, who usurped the throne of Athens. It was not long before he regained the throne of Athens. I will take advantage of the civil strife in the city of Athens and launch a war to conquer Athens. The city, completing the great deeds that the ancestor Perseus failed to complete. Heracles' family fled from the Attica region to the north, which was my excuse to attack the city of Athens."

The city of Tiryns.

royal palace.

Luo Yin enjoys the service of his virtuous ex-fiancée Clytemnestra and gentle elder sister Yin'ele every day, waiting for the day when King Thyestes returns to become the king of Mycenae.

Although Luo Yin said that his goal was to become the king of Mycenae, Luo Yin did not intend to make any efforts towards this goal.

Because Luo Yin can become the heir to the throne of Mycenae as long as Thyestes becomes the king of Mycenae.

When Thyestes is killed by Agamemnon, Luo Yin can inherit the throne and become the king of Mycenae.

Although Thyestes is Luo Yin's nominal father, Luo Yin will not change Thyestes' fate of being killed.

After all, Luo Yin could not inherit the throne of Mycenae unless Thyestes died.

Flowery garden.

Luo Yin wields the divine spear and is practicing his fighting skills.

Seeing Luo Yin's movements like flowing clouds and flowing water, Clytemnestra and Yin Ele showed fascinated eyes, and even the arrogant Helen couldn't help but say.

"Is he really Tantalus? With such swift and powerful fighting skills, not even the brothers Polydeuces and Castor, who are known as great heroes, can do it!"

Helen didn't know that Luo Yin could also enter the realm of gods and show faster and more powerful fighting skills than what they saw now.

Just when Luo Yin was halfway through practicing, a palace maid ran to the courtyard in a panic and said.

"Prince Tantalus! King Eurystheus of Mycenae sent a messenger asking you to lead a thousand soldiers to the city of Mycenae. Hercules' family not only left the city of Mycenae and fled to Attica area, and also claimed that the descendants of Hercules would rule the Peloponnese Peninsula in the future. Now Mycenaean King Eurystheus wanted to summon a powerful army to attack the city of Athens and force the Athenian King Menastheus to surrender. Out of the family of Heracles."

"Is it really necessary to come up with such a reason for war that no one believes?"

Luo Yin stopped his movements and complained.

"Before the family of Hercules left Mycenae and the region of Argos, Eurystheus did not deal with them. Now the family of Hercules fled to the region of Attica, and Eurystheus Instead, I would not hesitate to go to war with the city of Athens and also deal with Hercules' family. If I were the king of Mycenae, I would directly send a letter of challenge to King Menastheus of Athens and tell him that I want to conquer Athens. city ​​and Attica region.”

After complaining, Luo Yin looked at Yin Ele, Clytemnestra and Helen and said.

"Tiryns is a vassal of Mycenae, so I must obey the request of Mycenae King Eurystheus. Do you want to stay in Tiryns, or go to Mycenae with me?"

Yin Ele said without hesitation.

"Prince Tantalus, I don't want to see wars and sacrifices anymore, so I want to stay in Tiryns."

Clytemnestra and Helen looked at each other, and then said to Luo Yin.

“Dear Tantalus, in Mycenae there are your uncle Atreus and your cousins ​​Agamemnon, Menelaus, and Aegisthus, as well as your biological sister Philopia. I want to go to Mycenae to visit your relatives and family, because they will also be my relatives and family in the future.”

Helen followed.

"I don't want to stay with Yin'ele in Tiryns. I'll go to Mycenae too."
