Reversing Greek Mythology

After Pallas Athena sat down on the blanket in the middle of the courtyard, Helen, Persephone, and Insmene couldn't help but frown.

No matter how proud they are, they only treat other girls with an attitude of showing no weakness.

Athena, with her full aura, put on a strong posture that she wanted to overwhelm everyone.

"What a surprise! You actually come to the southern part of the Peloponnese to attend a human banquet."

After Persephone teased Athena, Athena smiled and said.

"I'm not blind! When I see you gathering here, of course I will be curious and come here to join in the fun."

Then, Athena looked at Thetis and said.

"You actually left the sea and came to the depths of the land. Even if you were invited by Spartan King Tyndareus, you would be in a weak state! Thetis, can you tell me the reason why you are gathered here?"

Thetis immediately turned her head away from Athena's eyes and said.

"You're overthinking it. I came to this banquet just out of curiosity."

"Then why are you sitting here as an unmarried princess, becoming the target of suitors? Are you not only captured by love, but also want to marry a human?"

After Thetis fell silent, Athena did not continue to question her.

At this time Menastheus had come to the left side of the courtyard and sat on the fifth blanket.

On the throne placed at the entrance of the hall.

King Tyndareus of Sparta withdrew his gaze from observing Athena and continued.

"I am honored to invite fifty suitors to my palace, but I only have two daughters. In order to prevent the forty-eight suitors from returning empty-handed, I plan to make the decision without authorization and let the nine unmarried princesses present They have become the goals pursued by suitors.”

"I disagree."

Atalanta immediately said with an angry expression.

"King Tyndareus! I have sworn never to marry."

"Princess Atalanta, I will not force you to choose your fiancé at this banquet."

Tyndareus explained with a smile.

"I make you as guests the target of suitors just to increase the chance of suitors marrying you. In this banquet, the only ones who have to choose their fiancés are my two daughters Clytemnestra and Helen. Even if you are pursued by a suitor, you can choose to refuse if you choose a good suitor and make a marriage contract. Everyone present will be your witness."

After hearing what Tyndareus said, Atalanta looked at the suitors on the left side of the courtyard with a disgusted expression and said.

"I am Atalanta, who has sworn never to marry. I hope none of you are stupid enough to pursue me."

Seeing that Atalanta no longer objected, Tyndareus ordered the palace maid to place flowers and laurel branches on the blanket in the middle of the courtyard, and then asked the palace maid to distribute fifty apples to the fifty suitors.

After each suitor had received an apple, Tyndareus rose from his throne and spoke.

"Beautiful girls! I know that letting you reject the suitors directly will cause harm to both the suitor and the proposed suitor, so I will not let you have direct contact with the suitors. Now you can weave a wreath with flowers and laurel branches, Then give the flower crown to your chosen suitor. Young suitors, in order not to cause trouble to the girls, you can only entrust my servants to give the apples in your hands to the girls you admire. If you are willing to wait patiently, After the girls have braided the flower crown, the suitor who is given the flower crown by the girls can personally present the apple to the girl he admires - this is the rule I set for this proposal party. "

Clytemnestra and Helen apparently had no prior knowledge of the rules laid down by Tyndareus.

After hearing these rules, they were stunned for a moment. After they came to their senses, they began to weave a wreath with flowers and laurel branches.

After Inole, Artemeta, Thetis, Insmene, and Persephone also started weaving flower crowns, Athena said with an expression of surprise that could not be concealed.

"Persephone, do you also want to choose a man to be your husband?"

"This has nothing to do with you!"

After responding to Athena, Persephone continued to weave her corolla in earnest.

Seeing that Athena and she were the only ones not weaving flower crowns, Atalanta took the initiative to speak to Athena.

"As expected of having the same name as Pallas Athena, it seems that you don't want to please those men as much as I do."

"I'm different from you!"

Athena looked at Atalanta with a half-smiling expression and said.

"Although I don't want to please men, I will weave flower crowns with them."

Having said this, Athena took up the flowers and laurel branches.

Atalanta immediately asked with wide eyes.

"Why do you do this if you don't want to please a man?"

"I just don't want to lose to them."

Athena looked at Thetis, Helen, Insmene, and Persephone who were weaving flower crowns and explained.

"Just like my city of Athens is the strongest city-state, and I am the strongest and most beautiful goddess, even the flower crowns I weave will be more beautiful than the flower crowns they weave."

Insmene immediately rolled her eyes at Athena and said.

"Arrogant and narcissistic guy, your city of Athens is only temporarily the strongest."

"If you are not convinced, I can fight with you at any time!"

Looking at Athena and Insmene, Atalanta sighed and said.

"Since you are all going to weave flower crowns, I will also show off my skills, but I will not give the flower crown to any man."

While the girls were busy weaving the flower crowns, the suitors were also discussing whether to give away the apples immediately or wait for the girls to finish weaving the flower crowns.

Luo Yin turned the apple in his hand and was thinking about which girl he should give the apple to to express his love.

At this moment, Aegisthus entrusted a palace maid to deliver his apple to Clytemnestra.

Seeing the palace maid taking away Aegisthus' apple, Elephnoa entrusted the palace maid to deliver his apple to Atalanta, and Menastheus also entrusted the palace maid to deliver his apple to Athena. .

Others also entrusted the palace maids to give the apples to the girls they admired.

Agamemnon gave his apples to Clytemnestra, and Menelaus gave his apples to Helen.

In the end, only a few people including Luo Yin were left who had not given away the apples.

Agamemnon teased Luo Yin with a smile.

"Tantaros! It seems that you are too greedy, so you don't know who to give the apple to. Menelaus and I are different from you. Our brothers' goal is to marry Clytemnestra. and Helen, making the Kingdom of Sparta our strongest ally.”

Looking at Agamemnon's proud smile, Luo Yin mocked.

"You think you're not greedy? I'm confused about who to give the apple to because I really love each of them. You just use your first wife as a prop for marriage, and your side chamber as an item that can be given away at will."

At this time, the skilled girls had already knitted the flower crowns.

Clytemnestra glanced at the apples presented by Aegisthus and Agamemnon beside her, then handed the flower crown to a palace maid and said.

"Give me my wreath to Tantalus."
