Reversing Greek Mythology

This Theban war caused heavy losses to the city of Argos, losing four young heroes.

If even Polynices stayed in the city of Thebes, in the next ten years, the city of Argos would be without a hero to protect it.

Therefore, Adrastus did not hesitate to use his daughter and grandson to bring back his son-in-law Polynices.

After hearing the words of his father-in-law Adrastus, Polynices turned his head and glanced at Adrastus, and then looked at Oedipus, Etecles, Antigone and Ins Mene.

If there were no wife and son as a bond, Polynices would definitely choose to stay with his favorite family without hesitation.

But now, his wife and son are his most important family members.

Polynices only hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head guiltily and said.

"Father! Brothers! Sisters! From now on, my incompetent brother can't accompany you, so you don't have to worry about me. When the situation in Argos City stabilizes, I will come back with my wife and son to visit you."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Polynices, Adrastus, and Amphiaraus left with the Argive soldiers, and Luo Yin turned around and shouted to the Theban soldiers.

"Compatriots! We defeated the invaders, and this war is our victory."

The Theban soldiers immediately responded to Luo Yin and shouted in victory like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.

In the original destiny trajectory, the city of Thebes only defeated the city of Argos.

The two strongest heroes in Thebes——

Etecles and Polynices died together.

After Melanipos killed Tydeus at the cost of being wounded, he was also killed by Amphiaraus.

Now because of Luo Yin, both Etecles and Melanipos have survived, and the city of Thebes has hardly lost any strength.

Even Polynices survived and returned to Argos with Adrastus.

As Adrastos grew older, Polynices, as his son-in-law, was likely to become the true king of Argos and form an alliance with the Kingdom of Thebes.

The city of Thebes.

Palace hall.

In order to celebrate the victory of the war, the royal family and nobles all gathered here to enjoy a grand banquet.

At the foot of the steps where the throne is, Loyin, Creon, Oedipus, Etecles, Melanipos, Insmarus, Perichermenos and Eurytus sit together. , discussing post-war matters.

Creon suppressed his excitement and said proactively.

"For this war, my son Haemon brought King Eurytus and two thousand Ocarian soldiers. Most importantly, Haemon defeated Polynices and Etecles on the battlefield, making Polynices completely gave up his ambition to win the throne. Now I will support Haemon to become the new king of Thebes, because Oedipus has disinherited his two sons and not only has the throne from me. Inheritance, and he is Antigone’s fiancé and Oedipus’ son-in-law.”

Although Etecles still had some nostalgia for the throne, he did not refute Creon's words.

The Creon family and the Oedipus family are fighting for the throne of Thebes, and no one else will intervene without permission.

Seeing that no one objected, Creon patted Luo Yin on the shoulder with satisfaction and said.

"My child, from now on you will be Haemon, King of Thebes, and I will not let anyone take your throne away."

Creon became king of Thebes twice, eventually giving the throne back to the descendants of Cadmus twice.

This always made Creon feel resentful.

Therefore, he would never let Luo Yin make the same mistake as him and be forced to return the throne to the descendants of Oedipus.

"The city of Argos is the most powerful city-state in the Argos region after Mycenae! Now the city of Thebes easily defeats the city of Argos. The city of Mycenae will definitely have a strong impact on the strength of the city of Thebes. fear."

Eurytus looked at Luo Yin with expectant eyes and smiled.

"Honorable Haemon! After you become the king of Thebes, are you willing to form an alliance with our city of Okalia and fight against the city of Mycenae?"

Luo Yin said without hesitation.

"King Eurytus, even if King Eurystheus of Mycenae wants to marry his only daughter, Princess Artemeta, to me, it will not change my mind about competing for hegemony with the city of Mycenae."

Creon immediately stared at Luo Yin with dissatisfaction and said.

"Silly boy! If you marry Atmeta, the daughter of Eurystheus, you will become the heir to the throne of Mycenae."

"I already have Antigone as my fiancée. It is impossible for Eurystheus to let his only daughter become his concubine. Why do you have to seriously discuss my marriage to Artemeta."

"Antigone is only your fiancée, so it is possible for you and Artemeta to get married."

Seeing Oedipus frowning and Etecles showing displeasure, Creon changed the subject to Eurytus.

"King Eurytus! Haemon lacks experience now. I will still manage the affairs of Thebes City in the future. I have no objection to the alliance between Thebes City and Ocaria City. As a symbol of our alliance, do you want to Will you marry Princess Inole to the city of Thebes, or do you want your son to marry the daughter of Oedipus?”

In this era where brothers can betray each other and become enemies, the greatest guarantee for the alliance between the two city-states is of course a marriage between the royal families.

Hearing Creon's words, Eurytus smiled and said.

"Actually, I have considered this issue for a long time. In order to increase mutual trust between us, I think we can conduct a double marriage-not only let my daughter Yin'ele marry to Thebes, but also let one of King Oedipus's daughters marry To my son."

Luo Yin immediately said coldly.

"I disagree!"

After everyone's eyes focused on Luo Yin, Luo Yin said with a serious expression.

"Antigone is my fiancée, and Insmene is also my woman, so there is no princess in Thebes that can be used for marriage."

Sensing Luo Yin's strong attitude, Creon frowned and said.

"Then let Princess Yin'ele marry the city of Thebes as a symbol of the alliance between Thebes and Okaria. Etecles's wife is a noble daughter of Thebes. In order to show the sincerity of the alliance , we can make Etekles’ current wife his concubine, and make Princess Yin’ele his main wife.”

Creon actually wanted Yin'ele to marry Etecles, who was already married, Eurytus said with some dissatisfaction.

"Yin'ele is only five years older than Haemon's brother Menochus. I think we can let Yin'ele marry Menochus."

Creon immediately objected.

"I don't want my youngest son Menochus to become the love rival of that madman Hercules."

Luo Yin also objected.

"I also want Menochus to marry a wife of a similar age. If the city of Thebes and the city of Okalia must be married, then let In'ele marry me."

After Luo Yin finished speaking, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

Just now Luo Yin wanted to let Antigone and Insmene serve the same husband, because such cases are not uncommon, so no one was surprised.

Now Luo Yin still wants to get Yin Ele, Eurytus couldn't help but said.

"Young Haemon, are you too greedy? If Antigone and Insmene are sisters who love each other and can treat each other's children as their own, perhaps King Oedipus can accept your greed. But I don’t want my beloved daughter to become a humble sidekick, humiliated and bullied by my wife, and I don’t want my grandson to have no inheritance rights as soon as he is born.”
