Reversing Greek Mythology

After looking at each other with the swollen-faced Yin Simene, Luo Yin confirmed that the current Yin Simene and the Yin Simene ten years later had recognized Luo Yin's true identity.

After looking away from Insmene, Luo Yin looked at Oedipus with empty eye sockets and the beautiful Antigone.

Because King Laion of Thebes killed Chrysippus, the youngest son of King Pelops of Inlys, Pelops issued a vicious curse on Laion.

Before Oedipus was born, he was burdened with the tragic fate of killing his father and marrying his mother.

Just like Paris, who was born with the fate of destroying Troy, after Oedipus was born, Laius asked the shepherd servants to abandon Oedipus.

Unlike Paris, who was adopted by a cattle rancher and grew up as a lowly cattle rancher.

Oedipus was fortunate enough to be adopted by Polybus, the king of Corinthus on the Isthmus of Corinth, and grew up as a prince of Corinthus.

Under the guidance of fate, Oedipus came to the Thebes area and committed the crime of killing his biological father, Laius. He also destroyed the Sphinx, a monster with a body and a beautiful head, for the city of Thebes and married Queen Yin'e. Castor became king of Thebes.

It is worth mentioning that Oedipus’ sin of killing his father and marrying his mother was most likely made up by people hundreds of years later.

In real history, he should be the loser in the competition for the throne with his uncle Creon.

Because the Sphinx who appears in the story of Oedipus, just like her father Typhon, is based on Egyptian mythology.

The prototype of the Sphinx is the Lion Goddess, the fallen sun goddess in Egyptian mythology, and the prototype of Typhon is Seth, the storm god who once reigned over the gods in Lower Egypt [Nile Delta].

After Oedipus's sin of killing his father and marrying his mother was exposed, his mother Inecaster committed suicide to wash away the sin, and Oedipus also turned himself blind.

Perhaps this is because after the failure of the struggle for royal power, the queen did not want to be humiliated by the winner. Oedipus turned himself blind to show that he was no longer a threat to Creon - after all, a blind man could not be the king.

When Oedipus was exiled by Creon as a sinner, only the young eldest daughter Antigone left the palace to take care of her blind father.

Ten years of wandering life made the weather-beaten Oedipus prematurely old.

Oedipus, who is about forty years old, looks like a sixty-year-old man.

Antigone grew up into a young girl, and her shabby clothes could not hide her beauty and temperament.

Her dazzling and beautiful long golden hair was tied into a single ponytail with a hairband and hung down behind her head. Her ruby-like twins showed strong eyes. It was obvious that ten years of wandering life had not made her fragile. Her exquisite and perfect little There is a sunshine and cheerfulness that cannot be hidden on his face.

Luo Yin looked at Antigone's graceful figure wrapped in shabby clothes, and his eyes couldn't help but fall from the waist that he could hold with one hand to the beautiful ankles wearing straw sandals.

Because Antigone was too mature above her waist, Luo Yin couldn't help but suspect that all the nutrition of the two sisters came from Antigone alone.

At this time, Luo Yin finally understood why Haemon was willing to become Antigone's licking dog, and was even willing to give up his throne and life for Antigone.

Looking up and down with Luo Yin's unscrupulous gaze, Antigone asked with a shy blush.

"You know Yinsmene and you call her your sister. Are you Haemon?"

Antigone and Haemon last met ten years ago, when both were still children under the age of ten.

Now, ten years later, Antigone naturally cannot recognize the grown-up Haemon.

Luo Yin nodded to Antigone and said.

"That's right! I am your fiancé Haemon, and I am also your cousin, so you should call me brother Haemon."

"fiancé……"

Antigone said with a complicated expression.

"Brother Haemon! When we made the engagement, I was still the princess of Thebes. Now I am a beggar wandering with my father, and you are the heir to the throne of King Creon of Thebes. I have made that engagement earlier. Already forgotten.”

After Antigone finished speaking, Oedipus looked at Luo Yin with his blind eyes and said.

"Haemon is really here? My dear little daughter Insmene, you and Haemon came to me one after another. What exactly happened in the city of Thebes?"

"The Kingdom of Thebes is about to face a war."

Yinsmene said calmly.

“Ten years ago, when my father was exiled as a great sinner, he gave up the throne to Uncle Creon. When the brothers Etecles and Polynices grew up, they began to ask for the throne from Uncle Creon. Uncle Rheon pretended to agree to their request, first gave up the throne to his brother Polynices, and then helped his brother Etecles launch a rebellion to expel his brother Polynices. Later, his brother Polynices wandered to Ar. Gos region, married the daughter of King Adrastus of Argos, and got six heroes as allies, preparing to launch a war to regain the throne. Now the city of Thebes and the seven heroes have received the oracle, because The two brothers inherited the throne from their father, so they must have their father's support to defeat each other."

After hearing what Insmene said, Oedipus said with disappointment.

"I really gave birth to two stupid sons. They turned against each other for the throne and started a war to fight for the throne. When I went through the suffering of wandering, these two sons did not accompany me. If they want to follow the oracle I will not support any of them, for I will not help one son to kill another. Haemon! Do you come to me to force me back to the city of Thebes?"

Luo Yin said with a smile.

"Oedipus the King! Because you are blind, you did not see that I came here from the city of Athens. I came here not for you, but for Antigone. Antigone as my Fiancee, she should fulfill her obligation to marry me now.”

"Brother Haimon, I will not marry you."

Antigone frowned and said.

"Although Uncle Creon pretended to give up the throne to brother Etecles, we all know that Uncle Creon is the real king of Thebes, and you are his heir to the throne. As the future king of Thebes, "You should marry a noble princess, not a wandering beggar."

"We'll talk about the wedding later. Now I'm going to take you back to Thebes."

Oedipus said excitedly after hearing Luo Yin's words.

"I just said that I will not help one son kill another son. Even if I die, I will not return to the city of Thebes."

Seeing Oedipus's excited reaction, Luo Yin rolled his eyes and said.

"Do you think I brought you back to the city of Thebes for the upcoming Theban War? I want to take you back just because Antigone and Insmene want to stay with you as daughters, Only by taking you back can I let Antigone and Insmene return to the city of Thebes with me. Oedipus! Your reaction is so exciting, don't you really want to return to your hometown? The plain surrounding the city of Thebes, don’t you want to listen to the songs of the shepherds on Mount Helicon while they are grazing?”
