Reversing Greek Mythology

Mycenae.

This is not the first time Luo Yin has come to this most powerful city-state in the Peloponnese Peninsula.

Twelve Theban cavalry escorted Luo Yin's carriage to the palace and explained Luo Yin's identity to the palace guards. The palace door was soon opened for Luo Yin.

After the carriage entered the palace courtyard, it stopped outside the hall door.

Then Luo Yin took Ariadne out of the carriage and entered the hall.

On the throne deep in the hall sat the sickly Mycenaean king Eurystheus.

On both sides of the aisle leading to the throne sat Atreus and Thyestes, two uncles of Eurystheus.

Luo Yin entered the hall and felt a little complicated when he saw these three familiar people.

After all, when Luo Yin replaced Tantalus III, Eurystheus was Luo Yin's cheap cousin, Atreus was Luo Yin's cheap uncle, and Thyestes was Luo Yin's cheap father.

After taking Ariadne to the middle of the hall, Luo Yin raised his head and looked at Eurystheus and said.

"Eurystheus, King of Mycenae, I am Haemon, King of Thebes. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to meet."

"Haimon, there is no need for us to see each other."

Eurystheus said with a friendly smile.

"You are the younger brother of my cousin Hercules' ex-wife Megara, which means we were once related. I treat you as a younger brother. Your father Creon sent an envoy to facilitate your marriage with Ah If Atemeta gets married, I will agree to let you and Atemeta go on a blind date because I want to meet and talk with you. "

Having said this, Eurystheus stood up and left the throne, walked down the steps and spoke face to face with Luo Yin.

"I have asked the maid to prepare a sumptuous banquet. Let's enjoy the wine and food while chatting!"

Luo Yin obeyed guest etiquette and nodded in agreement with Eurystheus's arrangement.

After a while.

A long table was set up in the hall, filled with wine, fruits, vegetables, barbecued meats and pasta.

Luo Yin, Ariadne, Eurystheus, Atreus and Thyestes sat down around the long table. Eurystheus took the initiative to ask Ariadne's identity.

"Haimon! You came on a blind date with Atmeta, and the girl next to you is your sister?"

Before Luo Yin could speak, Ariadne hugged Luo Yin's arm and said.

"I am not only my brother's sister, but also his wife."

The expressions of Eurystheus, Atreus, and Thyestes immediately became a little ugly.

Luo Yin brought a girl who claimed to be his wife to have a blind date with Artemeta. This was clearly a provocation and humiliation to the city of Mycenae.

Eurystheus suppressed his anger and forced a smile.

"Haimon! It seems that my daughter Atmeta will have many love rivals if she marries you. I am beginning to regret letting you go on a blind date."

Luo Yin said with a nonchalant smile.

"Brother Eurystheus, in fact, I am just completing the task assigned to me by my father. After the blind date with Atmeta fails, I will go to the Arcadia region to participate in King Assos's mission to Attalan. Proposal competition held by Princess Tu."

"Hearing what you say, I can safely let Atmeta reject you."

After speaking, Eurystheus gave Luo Yin a piece of roasted meat as an apology.

Luo Yin observed Atreus and Thyestes while tasting the food.

Thyestes has not yet been driven away by Atreus, so Thyestes secretly eats dumplings on behalf of Thyestes—the affair with Atreus's wife has not yet been exposed.

Atreus did not take revenge on Thyestes and took his niece Philopia by force.

Thinking that the cheap sister Philopia will not only be occupied by Atreus, but also forced by Thyestes to give birth to Aegisthus, and without knowing it, she will become a humanoid monster that is disgusted by humans and gods. ——

Luo Yin couldn't help but hesitate whether he should change Philopia's tragic future.

Realizing that Luo Yin was staring at him, Thyestes said with a friendly smile.

"Young Haemon! Are you targeting my daughter Philopia because Eurystheus is unwilling to marry Artemeta to you?"

"puff--"

Upon hearing Thyestes' words, Luo Yin immediately spit out the drink.

Although Philopia is also a noble and beautiful royal girl, Luo Yin has no thoughts about her.

After all, Philopia was once Luo Yin's cheap sister, and she took care of Luo Yin as a biological brother.

Turning Philopia into his own woman - this image feels taboo just thinking about it.

"Thyestes, it is impossible for the King of Thebes to marry the daughter of a wandering royal family as his queen. Do you want Philopia to become Haemon's concubine?"

Atreus glanced at his brother with a dissatisfied expression, and then changed the subject.

"Haemon! Not long ago, Hercules returned to Mycenae. We learned that his body that had never been injured was injured for the first time. We also heard that you were the one who stabbed Hercules. This rumor is true. ”

Luo Yin nodded and admitted.

"It was indeed I who stabbed Hercules."

Eurystheus, Atreus, and Thyestes' eyes widened in shock, and Eurystheus said with a solemn expression.

"I didn't expect that Haemon, who didn't even dare to speak loudly in the past, would now become a young hero more powerful than Hercules. The Kingdom of Thebes was originally a powerful city-state comparable to the Kingdom of Athens and the Kingdom of Mycenae, and now there is another one Mighty King, it seems that you, Haemon, will gain supremacy and become King of the Kings of Greece.”

"If brother Eurystheus is willing to marry Atmeta to me and let me inherit the throne of Mycenae, I can indeed gain hegemony and become the king of kings."

Eurystheus hesitated for a moment, showed a shaken expression and said,

"You go to the courtyard behind the hall to meet Atemeta. If Atemeta is willing to marry you, I can consider letting you inherit my throne."

Luo Yin originally said it casually, but he didn't expect Eurystheus to consider this possibility.

Hearing that Eurystheus asked him to see Atmeta, Luo Yin showed a hesitant expression on his face.

Although marrying Artemeta would give Luo Yin the right to inherit the throne of Mycenae, it was impossible for Eurystheus to let his only daughter Atmeta become Luo Yin's concubine.

In other words, if Luo Yin wants to get Artemeta and the inheritance rights to the throne of Mycenae, he must betray Antigone and make Artemeta his head wife.

And this is also a betrayal of Insmene.

The reason why Insmene didn't want to be the head wife was because she wanted her sister to be the head wife.

If Luo Yin wanted Atmeta to become his wife, she would definitely not accept it.

Emotionally speaking, although Artemeta is also Luo Yin's woman, it is impossible for Luo Yin to betray Antigone and Insmene for her.

In terms of interests, Luo Yin could not say no to being able to inherit the throne of Mycenae.

In addition, Ariadne beside her was waiting for Luo Yin's answer——

Luo Yin could only choose to escape, stood up and said.

"I'm going to meet with Atemeta first and ask her what she thinks. Atemeta has always said that she will follow the example of the goddess and never marry. Maybe she won't agree to marry me."

After Luo Yin left the hall, Eurystheus frowned and said.

"Haimon and Atemeta have never met. Why would Haimon know that Atemeta has the intention of never marrying?"
