Reversing Greek Mythology

The centaurs who were born from the clouds in mythology were, in real history, nomadic tribes who grew white cotton on the great plains of Thessaly.

The Mycenaeans viewed them as barbarians and reduced the Thessalians on horseback to half-man, half-horse monsters.

The mythical land of Amazon women, of course, does not exist.

However, in real history, the country that served as the prototype of the Amazon woman country did exist.

Because this country was ruled by a goddess over the gods, unlike the Mycenaeans who worshiped the male god Zeus, the Mycenaeans degraded this country into a country of women ruled by women.

After Luoyin's ships replenished water and food in Troy, they passed through the Dardanelles Strait, the Sea of ​​Marmara, and the Bosphorus Strait, entered the Black Sea, and sailed along the southern coast of the Black Sea to the eastern coast of the Black Sea. Erkes region.

Legend has it that the Amazon woman country lives on both sides of the Telmodon River, which is in the middle of the Asia Minor Peninsula.

There is a city called Themiscyra near the mouth of the Thermodon River that flows into the Black Sea, which is the capital of the Amazons.

Luo Yin's ship sailed in the Black Sea for three days and three nights. On the morning of the fourth day, it arrived near the mouth of the Termodon River.

When the sea ship was about to pass through the mouth of the Telmodon River, Luo Yin stood on the deck and looked at the scenery along the coast, and saw twelve large sea ships parked on the coast.

There were six ships flying Mycenaean flags, apparently belonging to Hercules and his three hundred sailors.

Six other ships flew the flag of the Kingdom of Athens, apparently belonging to Theseus and his three hundred Athenian sailors.

"Ten years ago, the Argonauts passed through the territory of the Amazons. Because they were afraid of the power of the Amazons, the Argonauts did not dare to approach the Amazons. Now, ten years later, even fifty Argonauts dare not approach. The Amazons were conquered by Hercules alone in Mycenaean mythology - I really want to see how Hercules conquered the Amazons and how Theseus conquered Hercules. After Les conquered the Amazon woman country, he kidnapped Queen Hippolyta."

After making a decision in his heart, Luo Yin immediately ordered the sailors to go upstream from the mouth of the Telmodon River.

The port of Themiscyra.

After Luo Yin and Ariadne landed, they saw that although there were not only women here, it was indeed a slave country where a large number of slaves were bought and sold, as described in the myth.

In mainland Greece, only the royal family and nobles could keep slaves.

But in the Amazon woman country, even commoners can buy slaves to cultivate the land.

At this time, due to the arrival of Hercules and Theseus, a large number of local residents gathered at the Temple of the Sun.

However, Hercules and Theseus did not break out a war with the local residents.

Because Hercules and Theseus used bronze weapons, local warriors used more advanced iron weapons.

If a war breaks out between the two sides, Heracles, Theseus and the 600 warriors they brought will be slaughtered by the local warriors.

Luo Yin and Ariadne came to the Temple of the Sun and saw Hercules challenging the female warriors of the Temple of the Sun.

Luo Yin and Ariadne stood in the crowd of onlookers and learned from the local conversations that as long as Heracles defeated all the twelve female warriors guarding the Sun Temple, the priestess of the Sun Temple would be able to satisfy a need. Require.

And what Heracles asked for was for the priestess to give her belt.

From the Colchis region on the east coast of the Black Sea to central Asia Minor, these tribes with advanced agricultural techniques commonly worshiped the sun and moon goddesses.

The young and beautiful priestess of the Sun Temple is the symbol of the Sun Goddess in the human world.

In order to protect the priestess, the twelve female warriors bravely fought against the burly Hercules, but were eventually defeated by Hercules one by one.

Just when the priestess was forced to take off her belt and give it to Hercules in public, and Theseus was eager to kidnap the beautiful priestess, a female knight wearing full armor and even her face was hidden with a helmet came riding up. Go to the Temple of the Sun and raise her battle ax with one hand to Hercules.

"Where are you strangers from? How dare you blaspheme our Sun Goddess?"

After defeating the twelve female warriors guarding the temple, Hercules had confirmed that the local humans could not defeat him.

He said proudly waving his huge wooden club.

"I am not attacking the barbarians here, but challenging the temple according to your rules. If you want to prevent me from getting the loot, then use your strength to defeat me."

"What an arrogant foreigner! Remember the one who defeated you, I am Amazon Queen Penthesilea."

With that said, the female knight brandished her battle ax and charged at Hercules.

Watching the confrontation between Penthesilea and Hercules, Luo Yin couldn't help but hold his breath, wanting to witness whether Hercules was better or whether Penthesilea defeated Hercules.

As the incarnation of the local war goddess, Penthesilea has power that cannot be lost to the demigods.

Moreover, this era is also different from the Trojan War.

During the Trojan War, the powerful empire guarded by Penthesilea was rapidly weakening due to internal divisions and invasions from external enemies.

The empire now guarded by Penthesilea still maintains its power as the overlord of Western Asia.

Rumble——

Just when Penthesilea's battle ax and Hercules' club were about to clash, with the sound of thunder, Zeus turned into a giant pillar and descended behind Hercules.

The next moment!

Hercules' club not only escaped Penthesilea's axe, but also knocked Penthesilea off her horse.

After Penthesilea rolled to the ground in embarrassment, an astonishing divine power suddenly fell from the sky, making the space with a radius of thousands of miles become solemn.

"Queen of the Amazons... Penthesilea..."

Standing up from the ground, Penthesilea took off the helmet that hid her face and said through gritted teeth.

"You people and gods from other places, do you know where this place is?"

There was a crisp sound!

Penthesilea threw the helmet to the ground.

As her beautiful silver hair and bright red twins were revealed, the armor on her body also fell off, transforming into a queen wearing a gorgeous golden robe and a silver crown.

Then, the scorching sun at noon turned into night, and a bright full moon hung in the night sky.

Seeing this miracle of switching between day and night, Luo Yin opened his eyes wide and said in shock.

"Is Penthesilea going to take back her real name?"

If Penthesilea continues to use her current name, even if she becomes a goddess, she will only be a lower god worshiped by the Amazon female warrior tribe.

But if she gets rid of the shackles of the name Penthesilea and takes back her prototype - the name used by the queen of the gods who trampled Marduk, the king of the gods in the Mesopotamia, under her feet, I am afraid that one hand will It can crush Zeus, Poseidon and Hades.

Looking up at the bright full moon appearing in the night sky, Luo Yin couldn't help but murmur.

"The prototype of Penthesilea is the goddess of war and the goddess of the moon. Could she be my other sister?"
