Reversing Greek Mythology

The city of Thebes.

Returning to his own city-state after a long absence, Luo Yin was full of expectations for the upcoming wedding.

royal palace.

Luo Yin led Ariadne and Philopia through the courtyard and entered the hall, and saw his cheap father Creon sitting on his own throne, discussing matters with the nobles.

Seeing Luo Yin's figure, Creon said with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

"My child! I didn't expect you to be out for so long without bringing back Atmeta, the daughter of King Eurystheus of Mycenae, nor Atalan, the daughter of King Assos of Arcadia. So, just bring back Philopia, the daughter of Thyestes.”

"My cousin Antigone is my fiancée. It's me bringing Artemeta and Atalanta back that's the problem."

Looking at Creon on the throne, Luo Yin asked directly.

"Almost all the nobles in Thebes are here. Are you discussing something very important?"

Creon nodded and said.

"Now a war broke out in Thessaly for the city of Iolkas. King Peleus of Phthia led a group of Lapithian cavalry to surround the city of Iolkas. The people who ruled the city of Iolkas King Acastus also used his sister Alcestis to marry King Admetus of Frei, and received assistance from Frei. "

"Peleus is really ambitious."

After listening to Creon's words, Luo Yin couldn't help but sigh.

"Ten years ago, King Eurytion of Phthia not only married his daughter to Peleus, but also gave one-third of his territory to Peleus. Later, in order to rule the entire city of Phthia, Peleus started hunting Calydon killed his father-in-law Eurytion when he was a wild boar. Now Peleus' ambition has expanded again and he wants to seize the city of Iolkas and become the great king who rules the entire Thessaly region.

Creon said with a smile.

"It is a good thing for us that Peleus started a war in Thessaly. We can conquer the southern part of Thessaly and convert the fertile land rich in white cotton into growing food."

"But we have no legitimate reason to launch a war against Thessaly! What is the reason for Peleus to launch a war against the city of Iolcus?"

"Although Peleus had a wife and a daughter, he claimed that when he visited the city of Iolcus, Acastus' wife took the initiative to woo him, and because he rejected her, he falsely accused Acastus. Castus listened to his wife and wanted to kill Peleus, so Peleus launched a war to retaliate against Acastus.”

"It's really standard bandit logic! Not only do we want to launch a war against the city of Iolcus, but we also want to belittle and humiliate the king and queen of Iolcus. It's a pity that Peleus is the grandson of Chiron and has Lapithian cavalry. With help, this war will definitely result in the defeat of Iolkas City.”

In mythology, Peleus is the grandson of Zeus and the grandson of Chiron.

The grandson of Zeus - this is just the identity of the deified Peleus, indicating that the real prototype of Peleus's father Aeacus is likely to be a priest of Zeus.

The grandson of Chiron - this is the most important identity of Peleus, even more important than the identity of the grandson of Zeus.

In mythology, Chiron is the ancestor of the Centaurs in Thessaly, and Prometheus is the ancestor of humans living in Thessaly.

In real history, there were no Centaurs in Thessaly, only the Lapiths who lived on horseback.

In other words, the mythical Chiron and Prometheus are the same entity.

Chiron, who existed as the grandfather of Peleus, was probably the high priest who served Chiron or Prometheus—that is, the king of the Lapiths.

Precisely because Peleus was the grandson of King Lapith, Peleus, a wandering royal family, could become the son-in-law of King Eurytion of Phthia.

It was also because of the support of King Lapith that Peleus was able to launch a war against the city of Iolcus and finally capture the city of Iolcus.

Thinking that during the Trojan War, Achilles led an expedition to Troy with 2,500 soldiers, which meant that Peleus would establish a powerful kingdom in Thessaly, Luoyin immediately made a decision.

"Compared to the ambitious Peleus ruling Thessaly, letting Acastus rule Thessaly will bring greater benefits to our Kingdom of Thebes. I decided to assist the city of Iolkas. Help Acastus defeat Peleus, and then turn the Lapithians' territory into our spoils, and let the Lapithians herd and cultivate the land for us as slaves."

Hearing Luo Yin's words, Ariadne, who was standing behind Luo Yin, said in surprise.

"Brother! Didn't you say you were going to get married when you returned to Thebes?"

"The marriage can be pushed back later. The most important thing now is to intervene in the war in Thessaly."

Luo Yin turned around and said to Ariadne and Philopia.

"Ariadne, take Philopia to see Antigone and Insmene! Before I come back, you can prepare for the wedding. I won't make you wait too long."

"Um!"

Ariadne nodded obediently and then left the hall with Philopia.

Creon stood up and left the throne, walked behind Luo Yin and said.

"My son, I have no objection to your intervention in the war in Thessaly, but how many soldiers are you going to take with you to Thessaly?"

"Three hundred! I only need three hundred soldiers!"

Turning around and seeing the worried expression on Creon's face, Luo Yin said with a confident smile.

"You should believe in my strength and don't worry about my safety."

"All right!"

Thinking of the Theban War not long ago, Luo Yin could easily defeat the powerful Etecles and Polynices with one against two, Creon nodded and said.

"If you encounter danger, you must not be brave. If something happens to you, your mother and I will lose the motivation to live."

After a while.

Three hundred of the most elite Theban soldiers were summoned outside Thebes.

When Luo Yin was about to set off with three hundred soldiers, Antigone and Insmene, who had received the news, came outside the city with Ariadne and Philopia.

After Luo Yin said goodbye to his father Creon, his mother Eurydice, and his brother Menochus, he came to Antigone and Immene and warned them.

"Sister Antigone! You don't have to worry about my safety while I'm away, but you must prepare for the wedding. I will marry you immediately after I return in triumph."

Antigone blushed and lowered her head.

"Brother Haimon, you must protect yourself. I don't want to cry for you."

Yin Simene looked at Luo Yin with suspicion and said.

"Are you intervening in this war to compete with Admetus, King of Fry City, for Acastus' beautiful sister Alcestis?"

"How is that possible-"

Luo Yin immediately denied it.

"Do I look like a man who would start a war for a woman? Although Alcestis is not only beautiful and noble, but also the most famous loyal wife in mythology, after all, she is different from you and is not the incarnation of a goddess. ”
