Reversing Greek Mythology

Luo Yin came to the city of Mycenae in response to the call of King Eurystheus of Mycenae, so he naturally had to meet Eurystheus.

After leaving Clytemnestra and Helen in the care of Philopia, Loyin went to the palace accompanied by Atreus.

Palace hall.

The frail Eurystheus was sitting on his throne, discussing with his messenger Cyperus about attacking the city of Athens.

Cyperus was the son of Atreus and Thyestes' brother Cyprus.

In the past, Coprous assisted Eurystheus as his uncle, and was a favorite with great power in Eurystheus's palace.

After Coprous died of old age, although the power he held was inherited by his younger brother Atreus, his son Coproius has been responsible for foreign affairs as Eurystheus's envoy.

Seeing Luo Yin and Atreus walking into the hall, Eurystheus on the throne took the initiative to speak.

"Uncle, you came just in time. I was just about to send someone to invite you to discuss the war. Is the young man next to you Tantalus's cousin?"

Atreus nodded and said.

"This child is your cousin Tantalus. He has brought a thousand soldiers from the city of Tiryns as you requested."

Luo Yin said with a bright smile.

"Great King of Mycenae, I am Tantalus from the city of Tiryns."

"Cousin, you are really out of touch."

Hearing Luo Yin's name, Eurystheus smiled with satisfaction.

"We are all family, you can just call me cousin. I heard that you robbed my cousin Hercules of the spoils, and I originally wanted to mediate for you two. One of you is my cousin, and the other is my cousin. He is my cousin, and from my point of view, Hercules is also your cousin. Unexpectedly, the goddess of fate made Heracles fall into the underworld, and now all his spoils are for your benefit. "

Cooper Lowus came to Luo Yin and said.

"Cousin, we haven't seen each other for ten years. Do you still remember my cousin's face?"

Although Cuperos took the initiative to talk to Luo Yin, he ignored his uncle Atreus, as if Atreus did not exist.

Both Cyperus and his father Cyprus were Eurystheus's trusted favorites, so Cyperus supported Eurystheus's daughter, Princess Atmeta, to succeed to the throne.

Atreus was the uncle of Eurystheus, but he shamelessly wanted to seize the throne belonging to his granddaughter Atmeta. It is no wonder that Cuperous turned against his uncle Atreus.

"Brother Cupulus! The city of Tiryns is a vassal of the city of Mycenae. As the favorite of the king of Mycenae, you must take good care of me in the future!"

After responding to Cooperus, Luoyin said to Eurystheus.

"Cousin Eurystheus, may I ask, when will we attack the city of Athens?"

"Of course you can know, cousin!"

Eurystheus said with a confident smile.

"Right now, there are five thousand soldiers from Mycenae and one thousand of your soldiers stationed outside the city. When the two thousand soldiers from Tires and the two thousand soldiers from Argos arrive, we will bring ten thousand soldiers with us. soldiers attacked the city of Athens."

Tires City——

This is the oldest city-state in the Argos region. Like Tiryns, it was originally ruled by the descendants of Perseus.

After hearing Eurystheus's answer, Luo Yin asked curiously.

"May I know who the kings of Tirens and Argos are?"

"Uncle didn't tell my cousin?"

Eurystheus first glanced at Atreus doubtfully, and then said to Luo Yin.

"The city of Tiryns was originally ruled by one of my people. Recently, I handed over the city to my uncle and made my uncle the king of Tiryns. The king of Argos is the great hero Tydeus. The son of Diomedes, who is as young as you."

Eurystheus was really generous.

In order to dispel the ambitions of his two uncles, Atreus and Thyestes, he had already given the throne of Tiryns to his two uncles, and now he gave the throne of Tiryns to Atreus.

It is a pity that Atreus will not be satisfied with being a vassal king of Mycenae. What he wants is to become a great king who dominates the entire Argos region.

Even if he now becomes King of Tires, Atreus will not give up his ambition to become the King of Mycenae.

"The cities of Tires and Argos are not far from the city of Mycenae. It seems that we can set off to attack the city of Athens tomorrow."

"Cousin, your guess is correct. Soldiers from Tirens City and Argos City will arrive tonight."

After telling Luo Yin this important news, Eurystheus ordered the palace maid to prepare a dinner to celebrate Luo Yin's arrival.

As night falls, Selene, the moon goddess, begins to spread light across the sky.

In the middle of the dinner in the palace, King Diomedes of Argos arrived outside the city with his soldiers, and then came to the palace alone.

After Eurystheus directly asked Diomedes to join the dinner, Luo Yin couldn't help but look at the young Diomedes with curious eyes.

Diomedes was the son of Tydeus, prince of Calydon, and grandson of Adrastus, king of Argos.

When Adrastus grew old, he allowed Diomedes to succeed him and become king.

Looking at Diomedes's face, which looked about fifteen years old, Luo Yin asked tentatively.

"Prince Diomedes, the city of Argos hasn't launched a second war to attack the city of Thebes yet!"

Although Diomedes was surprised that Luo Yin took the initiative to talk to him, he immediately answered Luo Yin's question considering that Luo Yin was the cousin of King Eurystheus of Mycenae.

"My grandfather said that I am too young now and must wait until I am sixteen before I can launch the Second Theban War to avenge my father Tydeus who died in the city of Thebes."

After hearing Diomedes' answer, Luo Yin murmured softly.

"Since the city of Thebes has not yet been conquered, Mnemosyne, the goddess of time, has not been forced to become Zeus's fifth wife, and Themis, the goddess of justice, was only unilaterally declared by the Mycenaeans to be Zeus's third wife. Two wives. Unfortunately, the city of Thebes is no longer able to win the second Thebes War. Once the city of Thebes falls, the goddess of justice Themis and the goddess of time Mnemosyne will be forced to become Zeus's second wife. wife and fifth wife.”

Just when Luo Yin was considering whether he should participate in the Second Theban War, the drunken Eurystheus suddenly spoke loudly.

"Athena, the goddess originally named Metis, has been stubbornly resisting Zeus in the past and refused to surrender to the great Zeus. This time we are going to break the city of Athens and let Metis [Athena] truly become the wife of Zeus. "

Looking at Eurystheus who spoke so boldly, Luo Yin couldn't help but look sympathetically.

The most powerful goddess in the Mediterranean world is not something you, a sick man from Mycenae, can desecrate.

"When I become the king of Mycenae, I will launch the third Athenian War and complete the great feat that Perseus and Eurystheus failed to accomplish - conquer the city of Athens. But my identity will not be that of Zeus. High Priest, for I conquered not the city of Athens for Zeus, but Pallas Athena for myself.”
