Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 210 The new king of Pylos

It is very rare for twin brothers to have two different fathers.

But in mythology, it is very common for twin brothers to have two different fathers.

Hercules' mother Alcmene gave birth to two twin brothers. The eldest son Inphicles was the child of her husband Amphitryon, and the younger son Hercules was deified as the son of Zeus.

The twins born to Leto, the wife of King Tyndareus of Sparta, were also believed to be one the child of Tyndareus and the other the son of Zeus.

Neleus, king of Pylos, and his brother Pelias were also twins.

Although there is a version of the myth that Neleus and Pelias are both sons of Poseidon, in the correct myth, only Neleus, who brought the worship of Poseidon to the Pylos region, was the true The deified son of Poseidon.

Pelias, like the other demigod twins, was the child of a human father and his mother.

On the battlefield in the plains of Pylos.

Luo Yin came to Neleus with the divine spear and saw King Thenaron challenging Neleus.

Although King Thenaron showed great courage like an angry bull, this courage did not change the strength gap between him and Neleus.

In the first confrontation between the two, Neleus's spear pierced King Thenaron's neck, turning King Thenaron into a corpse.

After killing King Thenaron, Neleus breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that the war had finally been won.

At this time, Neleus had learned that all eleven sons had died in the battle, but as long as the war was won, the sacrifices of his sons would be valuable.

"People of Thenaron! Your king has been killed by me. Surrender to me quickly and I will become your new king."

After Neleus shouted these words, the soldiers on both sides in the center of the battlefield immediately stopped fighting.

At this moment, Luo Yin walked up to Neleus and said.

"Neleus! Thank you for stopping the fighting between soldiers on both sides for me. I will become the new King of Pyrrhus, so I don't want to see soldiers from both sides fighting each other."

"you--"

Neleus looked at Luo Yin in shock, guessing about Luo Yin's identity.

Seeing Neleus's reaction, Luo Yin said directly and frankly.

"I am the murderer who killed your eleven sons. Now I want to send you to the underworld to reunite with your sons."

"Are you Haemon, King of Thebes?"

After learning that Luo Yin had killed his eleven sons, Neleus could not suppress the anger and hatred in his heart, and immediately rushed towards Luo Yin with his war spear.

Luo Yin stood there, letting Neleus' war spear pierce his body, and at the same time stabbed Neleus's heart with the blade of his divine spear.

The next moment!

Neleus's spear blade bounced back from Luo Yin's invulnerable body, and Luo Yin's spear blade penetrated Neleus's body directly.

When the surrounding Thenaron soldiers and Pylos soldiers saw this scene, all the Thenaron soldiers were greatly inspired, and the Pylos soldiers collapsed and gave up the battle.

The balance of victory has finally settled and tilted towards the city of Thenaron.

As the battle was decided, Persephone struck Poseidon with her golden scythe, nearly cutting off Poseidon's left arm.

Poseidon, who was seriously injured, immediately fled in embarrassment and flew back to the Yinlis area in the north.

When Thenaron soldiers cheered for the victory of the war, Persephone turned into a human form and came to Luo Yin and said.

"Thanks to your help, brother, my sister was able to win this war and drive away Poseidon. Now that King Thenaron and King Neleus of Pylos have both died in the battle, you will serve as the king of Thenaron and Pylos. The new king of the city, rule the entire Pylos region!”

Hearing Persephone's words, Luo Yin did not refuse, but nodded.

"Sister Persephone! Although Neleus and his eleven sons died in the battle, his youngest son Nestor is still in the city of Pylos. Next, I will occupy the city of Pylos and take Nestor away. Rush back to his hometown, the city of Iolkas in Thessaly, but before that, I must gather the Pylos soldiers and turn them into my soldiers."

"Then let me perform a miracle to help you!"

After saying that, Persephone activated her divine power, causing a phantom of a goddess standing tall to appear on the battlefield.

Although King Neleus and his twelve sons who ruled the city of Pylos were all invaders from the Thessaly region, most of the Pylos soldiers were locals from the Pylos region, and the gods they worshiped were not foreigners. Poseidon, but the goddess Persephone who has been guarding the Pylos region for thousands of years and bringing agricultural harvests to this area.

Seeing the phantom of the goddess standing tall and holding a sickle in her hand, it was the divine image of Persephone. The Thenaron soldiers and Pylos soldiers on the battlefield all knelt on the ground to worship the goddess.

Persephone declared in a thundering voice in the presence of thirty thousand soldiers.

"Humans! Now that the gods who invaded the Pylos region have been driven away, in order to bring long-term peace to the Pylos region, I will elect a new king for you to rule the entire Pylos region."

After Persephone finished speaking, the sickle in the goddess's shadow turned into an ordinary-sized golden sickle and fell into Luo Yin's hand.

Seeing Luo Yin raising his left hand and holding Persephone's golden sickle, everyone understood that this was the divine right of kingship. Luo Yin was the one chosen by Persephone - the great king who ruled the entire Pylos region.

With Persephone's public support, Luo Yin successfully controlled the Thenaron soldiers and Pylos soldiers, and led an army of 30,000 to the city of Pylos.

When Luoyin came to the city of Pylos with an army of 30,000 men, Nestor, who had only 500 soldiers, surrendered directly out of the city and expressed his willingness to surrender to Luoyin. He only asked Luoyin to let him inherit the throne of Neleus.

Although Nestor posed no threat to Luoyin, Luoyin still rejected Nestor's request and drove Nestor to the city of Iolkas to compete for the throne with Acastus and Peleus.

After forming a noble council in Pylos City and handing over Pylos City to the management of the council, Luo Yin returned to Thenaron City with the Thenaron soldiers.

The city of Thenaron.

royal palace.

When he left here, Luo Yin was still a guest.

When he returned here, Luo Yin's identity had become the master.

Loud hall.

Luo Yin walked in and saw the nobles gathered here, holding a banquet to celebrate Luo Yin's triumph.

Persephone sat on the throne in the hall wearing a golden crown, obviously she was the host of this banquet.

Seeing Luo Yin walking into the hall, Persephone got up and left the throne and walked towards Luo Yin and said.

"My dear husband is here! My nobles, I will marry Haemon as a princess and rule the kingdom of Pylos with him."

Although Persephone used her status as a god to support Luo Yin in ruling the Pylos region, Luo Yin was still an outsider after all.

In order for Luo Yin to be recognized by the locals, the best way is to marry.

So Persephone wanted to transform into a human princess and marry Luo Yin.

Persephone came to Luo Yin and wanted to pull Luo Yin to the throne together. Ariadne rushed over to block the two of them, glaring at Persephone angrily and saying.

"So you pretended to be a human just to marry my brother."
