Reversing Greek Mythology

The young Ariadne has an innocent, lovely and delicate face, and her beautiful long silver hair flutters freely in the sea breeze.

Looking into her loving eyes, Luo Yin couldn't help but push her away from his arms.

"elder brother?"

Ariadne looked at Luo Yin who rejected her in confusion.

Luo Yin looked at Ariadne's exotic golden dress and her beautiful ankles wearing golden strappy sandals under the short skirt. Finally, his eyes returned to Ariadne's slender waist that seemed to be held in one hand.

"Ariadne, since you are here, does it mean that Theseus has killed the Minotaur and returned to the city of Athens?"

Ariadne nodded and said.

"Theseus, a damn human being, clearly promised to help me return to my hometown, so I gave him the divine sword to kill the Minotaur and used a ball of thread to help him escape from the labyrinth. I want to curse Theseus and let him Becoming the most failed and incompetent king of Athens——"

Before she finished speaking, Ariadne covered her lips with her right hand and looked at Luo Yin in panic.

"Brother, I said to curse Theseus because I was angry. Now that I have found my brother, let me decide how to punish Theseus!"

"It is up to you to decide how to punish Theseus. Even if you are really my sister, I will not ask you to follow my advice in anything."

"Even if I am my brother's sister - brother, do you really not recognize me? I am my brother's favorite sister!"

Ariadne turned around unwillingly, showing her beautiful goddess-like figure to Luo Yin.

Although Luo Yin's eyes were honestly attracted by Ariadne's figure, Luo Yin still did not accept Ariadne.

"Princess Ariadne! Since you want to return to your hometown, then I will send you back to Crete. There is a merchant ship heading to Crete on the sea not far away."

"elder brother--"

Ariadne shouted helplessly and looked at Luo Yin with a disappointed look.

"I was suddenly transferred to Crete by a force that distorted reality and became the princess of Crete. Then I was abandoned on Naxos by the liar Theseus who accepted my help, and was influenced by Glaucus and Dionysus. Si's pursuit - I had already decided to commit suicide to keep myself unmarried for my brother. Why did my brother show up in time to save me, so why did he pretend that he didn't know me? "

Seeing that tears had begun to well up in Ariadne's eyes, Luo Yin hurriedly comforted her.

"Don't cry! I made a mistake just now. I will send you back to your hometown of Colchis."

Ariadne then smiled, threw herself into Luo Yin's arms and said softly.

"Brother! The two of us are going back to our hometown together."

"But my hometown is the Thebes region..."

Naxos has many natural ports and is a maritime trade transit point for merchant ships.

In order to send Ariadne back to the Colchis area, Luo Yin took Ariadne to a nearby port and found a merchant ship bound for the city of Athens.

Because in this era, only grain merchants from the Thessaly region and the Kingdom of Athens would sail to Colchis to purchase grain.

On the sparkling sea.

The merchant ship that Luo Yin and Ariadne took sailed to the city of Athens.

Looking at the beautiful sea scenery, Luo Yin began to think about the upcoming First Theban War.

If Theseus returns to Athens with the feat of killing the Minotaur, he will inherit the throne and become king.

The First Theban War, launched by Polynices and his allies, took place just after Theseus became king of Athens.

Theseus was the son of King Aegeus of Athens and the grandson of Pandion II, the false king who usurped the throne of Athens.

Theseus's mother was Ethra, the daughter of Pelops' eldest son Petheus, the granddaughter of King Pelops of Inlys.

Although he had distinguished parents, Theseus was actually the illegitimate son of Aegeus and Aethra from a secret marriage.

In real history, for demigods like Perseus and Heracles who have parents, being the son of Zeus is just an honor given to them.

As an illegitimate son, Theseus was a true demigod in both real history and mythology.

Because a demigod——is the illegitimate child born to a royal princess and an unknown man.

Theseus was the illegitimate son of a secret marriage between his mother Aethra and his father Aegeus. After his birth, his maternal grandfather Pitheus claimed that he was the demigod illegitimate son of Poseidon, the patron saint of Inlys.

Just as Bellerophon's daughter Laodamia gave birth to Sarpedon with an unidentified man, Bellerophon claimed that Sarpedon was the demigod's illegitimate son that Laodamia gave birth to for Zeus, and Kill Laodamia, who brought shame to the family, to keep this secret.

Even the death of Laodamia was claimed to be Artemis' shooting of Laodamia.

During the Trojan War, Hercules' son Trepolemus mocked Sarpedon for claiming to be the son of Zeus.

It is a pity that Heracles, who had both parents, was a false demigod, and Telepolemus was also the son of a false demigod.

As an illegitimate son with only a mother and no father, Sarpedon was an orthodox demigod, so Sarpedon killed Telepolemus at the cost of being wounded.

Theseus was raised by his mother and grandfather. He always thought that he was the illegitimate son of his mother for Poseidon.

It was not until Theseus was sixteen years old that he learned of his life experience.

Theseus, who has grown up, naturally has no father-son affection for Aegeus.

He would travel to the city of Athens to find Aegeus, only to inherit the throne and become King of Athens.

In the heart of Theseus, perhaps he was full of resentment towards Aegeus, who had brought shame to his mother Aethra and made him born and raised as an illegitimate son.

Before Theseus went to Crete to kill the Minotaur, Aegeus had made an agreement with the sailors that Theseus would die on Crete and the sailors would hoist black sails when they returned, so that Theseus would come back alive. Just hang the white sail.

In order to deceive his father Aegeus, Theseus, a filial son, deliberately hung a black sail when returning home.

Aegeus was already an old man in his sixties or seventies, and Theseus, an illegitimate son, was the only son of Aegeus.

Theseus's ship returned with black sails. Aegeus thought that his only son was dead, so he jumped into the sea and drowned in despair.

Theseus, the filial son, happily held a funeral for Aegeus and then succeeded to the throne and became the king of Athens.

Thinking of her fiancée Antigone and her cheap father-in-law Oedipus, after Theseus became the king of Athens and wandered to the village of Cynos near the city of Athens, Insmene would also go to the village of Kynos to look for her. Antigone and Oedipus, Luo Yin couldn't help but hesitate whether to go to Cynos village to protect Antigone and Insmene first.

Because before the First Theban War broke out, in order to claim their legitimacy, both Etecles and Polynices wanted to get Oedipus.

In order to bring Oedipus back to the city of Thebes, Creon even used force to snatch away Antigone and Insmene.

If Luo Yin doesn't protect them, the one who protects them will be Theseus.

"Knowing that my fiancée needs protection, should I send Ariadne back to her hometown first, or should I protect Antigone and Insmene first?"
