Reversing Greek Mythology

There is a saying that we should not worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.

Polynices and Etecles were both sons of Oedipus, and both were equally powerful.

Etecles would not be reconciled if Polynices got the throne.

Even if Etecles gets the throne, Polynices will feel unwilling.

Now that Oedipus wanted to disinherit the two of them, Polynices not only did not feel sad, but also breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

Because he finally lost the reason to kill each other with his brother.

Etecles couldn't help but said loudly.

"Father! With the help of Uncle Creon, I have driven away Polynices and been the king of Thebes for five years. Now even my father cannot oust me from the throne."

"My foolish son, do you still want to fight for the throne with Polynices?"

Oedipus angrily waved the stick and wanted to beat Etecles, but Luo Yin grabbed the stick and said.

"King Oedipus! Etecles has already sat on the throne. Of course he will not be willing to be kicked off the throne. Leave the rest to me!"

After leaving Oedipus in the care of Antigone and Insmene, Luo Yin looked at Etecles and Polynices who stood up.

"Etecles, I know you will not be willing to let me take away the throne. I will give you a chance. As long as you can defeat me, I will support you to continue to sit on the throne. Polynices, if you want Take back the throne and attack me with Etecles! Whoever can defeat me will sit on the throne."

"You want to challenge both of us at the same time?"

Polynices said with a smile.

"Cousin Haemon, do you think of yourself as a god? You have just seen how powerful Etecles and I are."

"I know that your strength is not inferior to those heroic gods who have become immortal gods, so I let you attack me together. Because even heroes such as Cadmus and Perseus who have become immortal gods cannot be defeated as gods. Even if you come, you will be vulnerable to me. If you don't take action, I will assume that you don't even have the courage to attack me."

After Luo Yin finished speaking, Etecles could no longer hold back and rushed towards Luo Yin with his fists raised.

"Haimon, even if I always treat you as my brother, I can't let you take away the throne."

Luo Yin joked while dodging Etecles' attack.

"That's too slow! Etecles, if you're too weak to swing your fist, I can stop and let you punch me."

There was a muffled bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yin blocked Etecles' right fist with his left shoulder.

After Etecles' eyes widened and a look of panic appeared on his face, Luo Yin joked with a smile.

"Your fist is as weak as a woman's, are you tickling me?"

"Haimon——"

Completely angered by Luo Yin's humiliation, Etecles angrily punched Luo Yin in the face with his fists.

Luo Yin easily dodged Etekles' attack as if he were just strolling around, allowing everyone watching the battle to clearly see the strength gap between the two.

Seeing that Etecles had made more than a dozen attacks but was still unable to touch Luo Yin's body, Polynices finally couldn't help but pounced on Luo Yin.

The two brothers attacked Luo Yin one after another. Luo Yin seemed to have eyes on his back, easily dodging the attacks from the front and back.

Once...twice...five times...ten times...

Polynices and Etecles were like children being played by adults. Their joint attacks never touched Luo Yin's body.

Creon murmured in shock as he watched the three of them fight.

"Is this person...really my son Haemon?"

In Creon's mind, his son Haemon should be like him, not a hero with powerful weapons.

Insmene glanced at Creon and said.

"Who could he be if he wasn't Haemon?"

Creon said with a flattering smile,

"Insmene, in order to govern the city of Thebes, I have always paid little attention to Haemon's growth. Did Haemon become a young hero with powerful force without my noticing?"

Insmene did not answer, and her eyes returned to Luo Yin, Polynices, and Etecles.

"Am I being paranoid?"

Creon looked at the figure of Insmene and said to himself.

"Insemene spends more time with Haemon than I, a busy father, do. Since she doesn't doubt Haemon, I have no reason to doubt Haemon."

Dispelling the doubts in his heart, Creon was sincerely happy that Luo Yin had become a powerful young hero, and he became more determined to seize the throne for Luo Yin.

At this point Polynices lost his patience and couldn't help but said.

"Haimon, will you just rely on speed to avoid our attacks? If you want to prove that you are stronger than us, you must defeat us head-on."

"Then as you wish!"

Snapped! Snapped!

Luo Yin stretched out his hands to block the fists of Polynices and Etecles.

Seeing that the two men's full blows could not shake Luo Yin's body, everyone already believed that Luo Yin not only had a speed far superior to Polynices and Etecles, but also had a strength far superior to them.

Before the two brothers could retract their fists, Luo Yin grasped their fists with both hands and forced them to spin in circles.

Because Luo Yin was spinning too fast, the two brothers' bodies left the ground directly and were thrown around by Luo Yin.

It wasn't until Polynices and Etecles were thrown away that they were dizzy, and Luo Yin let go of his hands, letting their bodies roll to the ground.

Looking at the two brothers lying on the ground unable to get up, Luo Yin said in a cold voice with no expression on his face.

"Because of this stupid war initiated by Adrastus's ambition, many soldiers will never be able to return to their families. You two can still return to your beautiful wife and young son. What else do you not want? fulfilled?"

Etecles and Polynices looked at each other, and then said with complicated expressions.

"Since I have completely lost to you, the throne will belong to you from now on."

Polynices said with a joyful smile.

"Cousin Haemon! Since you can allow Etecles and I to continue to be brothers who love each other, I also agree to give you the throne."

The two sons no longer fight each other for the throne, and Oedipus can't help but shed tears from his empty eye sockets.

Creon was also happy that Luo Yin defeated Polynices and Etecles and won the throne.

The only one who was dissatisfied with the current results was Adrastus.

This war resulted in the deaths of Adrastus' son-in-law Tydeus, nephew Capaneus, two brothers Hippomedon, Mecosteus, and a large number of Argive soldiers.

If he just accepts defeat in the war, Adrastus will definitely be laughed at by the world as a stupid king.

So no matter what, Adrastus must wash away the shame of losing this war.

ten years--

In just ten years, when the young children grow up to become young heroes, they can start the Second Theban War.

After accepting the reality of failure in this war, Adrastus looked at Polynices with a gloomy face and said.

"Polynices! Since you have completely failed, then follow me back to your hometown, to your wife and son."
