Reversing Greek Mythology

Hearing Luo Yin's words, the elders and nobles were just stunned for a moment, and then continued to urge Yin Simene to get married and have children.

After all, the royal family of Thebes has died and only Insmene is left. Even if there is no external threat, Insmene must bear the responsibility of continuing the royal bloodline.

Listening to the chatter of the elders and nobles, Insmene said with a tired expression.

"I know what you are thinking. That's it for today's meeting!"

After saying that, he stood up, left the throne, and left the hall through the back door.

The elders and nobles left the palace together, and Luo Yin also chased Insmene to the palace courtyard behind the hall, where he saw Insmene sitting in a flower garden.

When Luo Yin walked to sit next to Yin Simene, Yin Simene said suddenly.

"Originally, one of my two nephews could survive, but they both died together because of your intervention."

"Are you blaming me?"

"That's right! Because it was you who caused this situation - getting married and having children became my responsibility."

"Your two nephews are also the bloodline heirs of humanoid monsters!"

Luo Yin said with some dissatisfaction.

"You should know that your nephew is the only one who survives, and fate dictates that he will not be able to give birth to children. Therefore, only you can continue the bloodline of the Cadmus family. You put the responsibility on me, just to avoid getting married and having children. Find an excuse."

Yin Simene fell silent, obviously acquiescing to Luo Yin's words.

Looking at Yin Simene's upright and beautiful profile, Luo Yin couldn't help but say.

"If you don't want to marry another man...I can help you have a baby."

Yin Simene immediately turned her head, looked at Luo Yin with emotionless eyes and said.

"Don't you already have a fiancée? How many women do you have to satisfy your greed?"

Luo Yin was speechless, and then said with some embarrassment.

"Is your attitude towards me a little too much? I saved the city of Thebes! If the city of Thebes is occupied by the coalition forces led by Diomedes, Themis and Mnemosyne will fall The goddess became the wife of Zeus. More than two hundred years later, when Apollo's followers captured the Temple of Delphi, Mnemosyne would become the wife of Apollo again until she was separated from Mnemosyne. The Nine Muses became the wife of Apollo, allowing Apollo to claim that he inherited the status of the patron saint of Delphi and Thebes as his son-in-law. Because I saved the city of Thebes, Themis and Mnemosyne could. To avoid becoming a fallen goddess and being attacked by Zeus and Apollo—"

Before Luo Yin could finish speaking, Yin Simene looked at Luo Yin with cold eyes and said.

"Do you think I should dedicate my body and soul to you with gratitude? Then I would like to ask you, what is the difference between being desecrated by you and being desecrated by Zeus and Apollo?"

"Of course I'm different from them!"

Looking at Yin Simene, who had no expression on her face and no emotion in her eyes, Luo Yin couldn't help but throw her down on the grass, put his hands on her shoulders and said.

"I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do, and I really love you."

After saying that, Luo Yin lowered his head and leaned close to Yin Simene's lips.

Yinsmene immediately closed her eyes out of shyness.

After a long time——

Yin Simene was suffocated, and Luo Yin raised his head and looked greedily at Yin Simene's shy little face.

After slowly opening her eyes, Yin Simene looked at Luo Yin with shaken eyes and said.

"You won't force me to do anything I don't want to do - you are as good as ever."

"Uh-I just want to express my feelings for you directly with my body."

Luo Yin explained with an awkward expression.

"And you didn't reject me."

Yin Simene rolled her eyes at Luo Yin, then turned her back to Luo Yin.

Feeling itchy due to Yin Simene's resistance, Luo Yin put his arms around her slender waist from behind, held her in his arms and said.

"You're angry?"

"Can an unmarried royal princess be desecrated by you like this?"

Although in this era, royal men could have many side wives in addition to their wives, the conservative nature of this era can be seen from the fact that women must wear floor-length skirts.

Royal women not only have to wear floor-length skirts when going out, they usually also wear veils to cover their faces.

Whether it was the close contact just now or holding Yinsmene in her arms now, these were things that only her fiancé and husband could do to her.

Thinking of this, Luo Yin smiled bitterly in embarrassment.

"Because the girls I met in the past always took the initiative to serve me, I forgot that doing this to you would damage your reputation as an unmarried girl. In order to make up for my fault, I want to marry you as my wife. "

"Will I be the head wife?"

Hearing this question, Luo Yin fell into silence.

Yin Simene immediately took Luo Yin's hands away from her waist, stood up and turned her back to Luo Yin and said.

"What I want to hear is not the sweet words you say casually. Leave my territory immediately before I decide to drive you away."

"Yinsmene..."

Looking at her beautiful hair tied into a single ponytail with a golden hairband, Luo Yin wanted to reach out and touch it, but finally endured it, stood up and turned his back to Yin Simene and said.

"I am indeed a very greedy person, because I really like other girls, so I can't promise to make you my legal wife."

After saying that, Luo Yin walked out of the palace.

Listening to Luo Yin's footsteps, Yin Simene whispered expressionlessly.

"Unless you think I lose to other girls, there is no reason for me to bow to other girls."

Luo Yin did not stop as he left, and he didn't know if he heard Yin Simene's words.

Yupia Island.

This wealthy island faces Thebes across the sea. The narrowest part of the strait that separates the two places is only forty meters.

After Luo Yin left the city of Thebes, he first came to the central part of Eubia Island, and then to the city of Auris in the south of Eubia Island.

During the Trojan War, the Greek coalition forces assembled at the port of Auris, which was also an important transshipment point for supplying grain and grass to the coalition forces.

The current king of Auris is Nauplius, and his son is Palamedes, who was executed by the Greek coalition as a traitor who colluded with the Trojans.

In addition to his unborn son, Nauplius had a younger brother, Elephnoa.

In order to avoid becoming rivals for the throne with her brother, Elephnoa became a devout believer in Artemis, the goddess of hunting, and vowed to remain celibate like Artemis.

Before King Theseus of Athens left for the underworld, he entrusted his two young sons Akamas and Demophon to the care of his young friend Elephnoa.

In stories made up by people hundreds of years later, Elephnoa became the prototype for Hippolytus, the eldest son of Theseus.

So there is a very absurd myth in the story of Theseus.

Hippolytus, the eldest son of King Theseus of Athens, never married, not because he worshiped Athena, the virgin goddess who protected the Kingdom of Athens, but because he worshiped Artemis, the virgin goddess.

Of course, a person who worships Artemis cannot become a king in the Kingdom of Athens guarded by Athena.

Therefore, the fictional Hippolytus in the myth was cursed to death by his father Theseus.

Also because Hippolytus was invented in myths by people hundreds of years later, Theseus did not commit the sin of killing blood relatives because of Hippolytus' death.
