Reversing Greek Mythology

When Luo Yin drove his carriage to the city of Thebes, it was already night when darkness enveloped the earth.

The East Gate, one of the seven gates of Thebes.

The soldiers guarding the city gate at night saw Luo Yin driving a carriage and hurriedly opened the city gate for Luo Yin, because they had recognized Luo Yin as the heir of Creon, the real king of the Kingdom of Thebes.

The carriage came along the main street to the palace. After learning the news, Creon took his wife Eurydice and his youngest son Menochus out to greet Luo Yin.

The palace courtyard illuminated by torches.

When the four girls and Oedipus got off the carriage, Creon, wearing a nightgown, hurried to Luo Yin and said angrily.

"My stupid son, do you know how worried your mother and I are about you? As the heir to my throne, how can you leave the city of Thebes without permission? Do you want us to suffer the pain of losing a child again? "

After venting his anger on Luo Yin, Creon saw that Luo Yin had brought Oedipus and Antigone back.

"Oedipus - you are a great sinner who was expelled. How dare you return to the city of Thebes shamelessly?"

Luo Yin said while blocking Oedipus behind him.

"It was I who invited King Oedipus and Antigone back to the city of Thebes."

After hearing Luo Yin's words, Creon showed a pleased smile and patted Luo Yin on the shoulder.

"Now that Polynices wants to use war to regain the throne, we can just use Oedipus to deprive him of the throne. Haemon! You brought Oedipus back and solved a big problem for the city of Thebes , He is indeed my son.”

Then, Creon lowered his voice and spoke.

"But after we defeat the coalition of seven heroes, we must drive Oedipus away. Although Oedipus has become blind, he still has the prestige to rule the city of Thebes. If Oedipus stays, we will not be able to Continue to ignore Etecles and let him be a puppet king with no real power. Haemon! Everything I do now is to make you the king of Thebes, so don’t stop my plan.”

After Oedipus became blind, his hearing improved greatly.

Although Creon deliberately lowered his voice, Oedipus heard his words clearly.

At this time, Etecles, the nominal king of the Kingdom of Thebes, had also received the news and came to the courtyard.

Seeing Oedipus in ragged clothes and with gray hair like an old beggar, Etecles ran to Oedipus in tears and knelt down in front of Oedipus, holding Oedipus's knees and crying.

"Father, I have sinned greatly and did not take care of you as a son. I ask you to forgive me and forgive me. Now my brother Polynices has launched a war against me for the throne. I must get your support to defeat Polynices. "

Snap!

Oedipus swung his right hand and slapped Etecles hard on the face.

After Etecles tilted his head and was stunned, Oedipus said angrily.

"Etecles, what throne are you fighting for with Polynices? When I became a sinner ten years ago, I gave up the throne to Creon. Now the king of Thebes is Creon, the heir to the throne. It’s Haemon. You and Polynices don’t have any throne to inherit, and you shouldn’t start a war over a throne that doesn’t belong to you.”

"Father, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Etecles looked at Oedipus in disbelief and said.

"We are the descendants of Cadmus, the founder of the city of Thebes, and the legitimate successors to the throne of Thebes. Uncle Creon has also agreed to return the throne to me."

Etecles was so stubborn, Oedipus pushed Etecles away from him helplessly and said.

"You and Polynices are indeed not my sons, and you are not qualified to inherit my throne. Only the daughter who takes care of her father is my real child, and Haemon is Antigone's fiancé. Etecles Si, now I want to deprive you of your right to inherit the throne, and Haemon is my true heir."

"Father, are you crazy? Even if Haemon is your son-in-law, he cannot be compared with your real son!"

Etecles still doesn't understand that everything Oedipus is doing now is to protect him.

Because Oedipus knew very well that young Etecles could not defeat Creon, and Creon would not give Etecles a chance to grow into a real king of Thebes.

In order to compete for the throne, even if Etecles is Creon's nephew, Creon can ruthlessly eliminate Etecles.

Seeing Etecles looking at him with jealous eyes, obviously regarding himself as an enemy for the throne, Luo Yin showed a provocative smile to Etecles, and then said to his cheap mother Eurydice.

"Mother! These guests and I are hungry. Although it is late at night, I still hope to host a banquet for the guests."

In the original fate track, because Haemon died for Antigone, Eurydice committed suicide and buried her son Haemon, which shows how much she loved her son.

Upon hearing Luo Yin's request, Eurydice immediately ordered the maids to prepare a banquet in the hall.

Palace hall.

Everyone came here to taste the wine and fruits brought by the maids.

Eurydice sat with the four girls, looking at the ragged Antigone with a smile and said.

"My poor Antigone, don't wander with Oedipus anymore. You are not only Oedipus's daughter, but also Haemon's fiancée. Now you should abide by the engagement and marry Haemon. Please do it for me as soon as possible." Give birth to lovely grandchildren.”

Ariadne said dissatisfied.

"I am the one who wants to marry my brother."

"You can all marry my son Haemon."

Eurydice said happily.

"As Haemon's mother, for me, the more wives my son has, the better. Antigone! Ariadne is the princess of the Kingdom of Crete, and you are no longer the princess of Thebes. You can feel aggrieved. Be the concubine and let Ariadne be the main wife?”

"Aunt Eurydice, actually I don't care-"

Before Antigone could finish her words, Insmene said.

"My father just said that he would make Haemon the heir! If Haemon wants to inherit the throne as his sister's husband, he must make his sister his head wife."

Eurydice immediately showed hesitation.

Although Creon has the power to seize the throne by force, the best outcome is for Luo Yin to marry Antigone and inherit the throne as Oedipus's son-in-law.

This is also the real purpose of Creon's marriage contract for Haemon and Antigone ten years ago.

Thinking that marrying Antigone would make Luo Yin the legitimate heir to the throne of Thebes, Eurydice said to Ariadne with an apologetic smile.

"Princess Ariadne! Because Antigone is Haemon's first fiancée, we can only let Antigone be Haemon's first wife."

Ariadne immediately rolled her eyes and said.

"Since you don't support me becoming my brother's official wife, there's no need for me to please you."

Eurydice didn't care about Ariadne's reaction, looked at Hypercybele and said.

"Hyper Cyborg, you are not only reduced to a slave now, but you are no longer a young girl. I ask you to be Haemon's side chamber, you won't refuse, right?"

After Percybele nodded in agreement, Eurydice looked at Insmene again.
