Reversing Greek Mythology

The Thessaly region in the north of Thebes has the fertile Thessaly Plain—a piece of cultivated land that far exceeds the area of ​​Pylos.

It is a pity that the Lapiths who lived in Thessaly were the wasteful Lapiths. They were regarded by the Greeks as barbarians who lived on horseback and were also the prototypes of the centaurs in mythology.

The Lapit people not only make a living by raising animals, but also grow white cotton, which cannot be used as food.

Because white cotton was one of the main goods traded by the Lapithians, the mythical Centaurs were also regarded as a race born in the white clouds, and they invented a human man named Inxion and the cloud god Nephi. Le combined and gave birth to the legend of the Centaur tribe.

In real world history, the Lapithians were the Dorians who conquered the Peloponnese more than a hundred years later.

Originally, the royal families in Thessaly were all descendants of Prometheus, so the Lapiths were also descendants of Prometheus in mythology.

Later, the Dorians conquered the Peloponnese, and centuries later mythmakers rewrote the Dorians into a group ruled by the descendants of Hercules.

After hearing what Yin Simene said, Luo Yin's eyes immediately brightened, and he turned to look at Yin Simene who walked into the courtyard from the gate and said.

"I had forgotten that Thessaly was an undeveloped agricultural plain. As long as the Lapithians were transformed from a nomadic tribe into an agricultural tribe, even if the Mycenaean Kingdom had a population of 400,000, there would be no need to purchase food from other regions. ”

While speaking, Luo Yin picked up Persephone from him and put her next to Thetis.

Under Persephone's wide-eyed gaze, Luo Yin stood up and walked towards Insmene and said.

"Insmene! Actually, I didn't think of developing the Thessaly region, but also because I wanted to conquer the Thessaly region. Taking the sea route to Thessaly region cannot bypass the Kingdom of Athens, and taking the land route cannot bypass the Thebes region. Since If you are willing to cooperate with me, let’s conquer the Thessaly region together!”

After saying that, Luo Yin walked up to Yin Simene, stretched out his hands to hold Yin Simene in his arms, and hugged her slender waist tightly to express his joy and excitement.

Persephone stared at this scene with wide eyes, her black hair as dark as the night sky moved without wind, and her purple twin children as beautiful as gems showed their eyes full of murderous intent.

"Persephone, don't be too angry-"

Before Thetis finished her words of persuasion, Persephone stood up, stretched out her right hand and summoned a dark scythe to her right hand.

"You damn bastard woman! If you hadn't appeared, I would have occupied the most important position in his heart."

As soon as she finished speaking, Persephone moved to the side of Luo Yin and Insmene with the speed of teleportation, and swung the black death sickle towards Insmene's body.

In the flash of lightning, Luo Yin held Insmene to avoid the attack of the death sickle, and then asked Persephone dissatisfiedly.

"Sister Persephone, what are you doing?"

Persephone said, glaring at Insmene with an angry look.

"It's all because of this woman that you no longer value the Pylos region, let alone put me in the most important position in your heart and let me be your wife. Shouldn't I kill her as punishment? ?”

Yin Simene in Luo Yin's arms sighed and said.

"You are such a stupid woman for doing such a thing for a man."

“Just because I value Thessaly now doesn’t mean I will give up on Pylos.”

Luo Yin also explained to Persephone.

"Only a child would choose between two. Thessaly and Pylos are equally important to me. I will not give up on either of you."

"Then will you marry me?"

Persephone's question made Luo Yin hesitate.

Seeing Yin Simene looking at him with calm eyes, waiting for his answer, Luo Yin stretched out the wings of the sky god behind his back and said.

"I thought since I could have two wings, maybe I could have two wives."

Luo Yin's answer obviously did not satisfy Persephone and Insmene, but they did not refute Luo Yin.

It seemed that they could barely accept Luo Yin's answer.

"Pfft hehehe——"

The scoffing laughter of Pallas Athena suddenly sounded from above the courtyard.

Before Luo Yin could raise his head, Athena's figure landed from the sky in the courtyard, looking at Luo Yin, Persephone, and Insmene with smiling eyes and teasingly.

"You are such an interesting man! In order to make them accept your greed, you actually thought of letting them all be your wives. Thetis, who loves you so deeply, do you want to make her your concubine, or do you want her to be your concubine? Let her be one of your three wives? You only have two hands, two legs and two wings. You don't have a third hand, a third leg and a third wing to convince them that you have three. wife."

Seeing Luo Yin speechless when asked, Yin Simene whispered.

"Don't pay attention to what Athena says! My Kingdom of Thebes, your Kingdom of Mycenae and Kingdom of Eubia are surrounding the Kingdom of Athens from three directions. Of course she doesn't want to see you marry me and trap her Kingdom of Athens to death. ”

The Kingdom of Thebes and the Kingdom of Mycenae were both rival city-states that once waged war against the Kingdom of Athens.

From Athena's point of view, she certainly did not want to see the Kingdom of Mycenae and the Kingdom of Thebes form an alliance or even merge through marriage.

Luo Yin nodded, and then asked Yin Simene in a low voice with a guilty conscience.

"Then can you accept that I have two wives?"

"I'm the first wife - I can just live with it."

After hearing what Insmene said, Persephone immediately said angrily and dissatisfiedly.

"His first wife should be me! Although my Kingdom of Pylos and your Kingdom of Thebes are both in a period of decline, my Kingdom of Pylos is rich in food, so my status should be higher than yours."

"My kingdom of Thebes develops northward and conquers Thessaly, which will give it a large granary. If you have the ability to conquer Sparta, I will accept that your status is higher than mine. But I know your The Kingdom of Pylos cannot defeat the Kingdom of Sparta - just like you cannot defeat Hera.”

"you--"

Persephone angrily waved the death scythe and said angrily.

"You are already so weak that you have transformed into a human, yet you still provoke me like this. If he hadn't been protecting you, I would have given you death and let you sleep with Themis."

"You two don't fight."

Looking at Luo Yin whose expression was full of helplessness, Athena came over with a smile and said.

"No matter how great the potential of the Kingdom of Thebes and Pylos is, the city of Athens is now the strongest city-state in Greece, and I am also the strongest goddess. You should still propose to me and let me be your wife! The strongest I become your legal wife, and this is definitely a result that they can accept."

"no!"

Before Luo Yin could speak, Persephone said angrily.

"You obviously don't even know who he is, why are you involved in our fight?"

After saying that, he wielded the death sickle and struck Athena.
