Reversing Greek Mythology

Peleus came to Luo Yin with two thousand soldiers. Looking at Luo Yin who was fighting two thousand troops alone, he couldn't help but stop and question.

"Are you King Haemon of Thebes who came to aid Acastus? Even if you are a king with the protection of gods, it would be too crazy to fight one against a thousand. Do you think of yourself as a demigod?"

One kind of demigod in mythology is a royal princess who gave birth to an illegitimate child with a man of low status. In order to avoid bringing shame to the family, they claimed that the illegitimate child of the royal princess was a demigod born to a god.

Aethra, the daughter of King Pitheus of Trozen City in the Inlys region, gave birth to an illegitimate son Theseus with King Aegeus of Athens, and claimed that Theseus was half of Poseidon, the patron saint of the Inlys region. Son of God.

Laodamia, the daughter of King Bellerophon of Lycia, gave birth to Sarpedon, the illegitimate son of an unknown man, and also claimed Sarpedon to be the demigod son of Zeus.

Although demigods are sometimes synonymous with fatherless bastards, true demigods also exist in mythology.

That is, after performing great feats for the gods, they are great heroes who deify themselves with the consent of the gods.

Great heroes who deify themselves with the consent of the gods usually have the strength to defeat one against a thousand or even one against ten thousand.

Seeing that Peleus knew his identity, Luo Yin said with a faint smile.

"It seems that someone has been telling you the news in Iolkas City. If I had not intervened in this war, you would definitely get Iolkas City."

"Then can you withdraw from this war? I heard that you want to get Princess Alcestis. After I get the city of Iolkas, I can give you Acastus's sister, wife and daughter. ”

Hearing Peleus' suggestion, Luo Yin couldn't help but shake his head and said.

"Didn't the person who contacted you tell you that what I really want is half of Thessaly? I asked Acastus for Alcestis just to make the Thessalians accept me and bring Thessaly Princess Alcestis of the Li region was used as a tool for marriage. "

The city of Iolkas was the most powerful city-state in Thessaly, and the king of Iolkas was nominally the great king who ruled the entire Thessaly region.

Alcestis is the royal princess of the city of Iolkas. Obtaining her will indeed be of great help to Luo Yin in ruling the Thessaly region.

Seeing that Luo Yin wanted to get Alcestis not because of love but for profit, Peleus persuaded him.

"If you are doing it for profit, then why don't you cooperate with me? I can accept your request and give you the northwest region of Thessaly, and I can also give you my cousin, the Lapithian princess Hippodami. Ya marry you.”

"Peleus, I know that what Acastus can give me, you can also give me, and you can even give me more, but I will never cooperate with you. Because when I want to get the entire color When we are in the Sally area, I want to face Acastus, not you who is far more powerful than Acastus.”

After listening to Luo Yin's words, Peleus said with an ugly expression.

"The area of ​​Thessaly is equivalent to half of the Peloponnese Peninsula, and you actually want to rule the entire Thessaly region - since you have the same ambition as me, then we are enemies destined to be unable to cooperate."

After saying that, Peleus held the war spear in his right hand and the sword in his left hand, and rushed towards Luo Yin like an angry lion.

Peleus's two thousand soldiers also followed the commander's pace and rushed towards Luo Yin.

Just when Luo Yin swung the divine spear to stab Peleus, a dazzling divine light suddenly fell from the sky and shone on Luo Yin's face.

The next moment!

Peleus's spear blade stabbed Luo Yin's neck.

Feeling that Peleus's weapon was protected by the gods and could stab his own body, Luo Yin hurriedly retreated to avoid Peleus' attack.

After getting ten meters away from Peleus, Luo Yin looked up at the sun in the sky and saw a huge god standing in the clouds, holding the fire of the sun in his hand and blooming with dazzling divine light.

The divine light that illuminated Luo Yin just now obviously came from this god.

"Peleus is the grandson of Zeus, and the god who came here is not Zeus. It seems that Peleus has completely abandoned Zeus and became the king of the city-state in Thessaly, and is protected by the patron saint of Thessaly. Although The patron saint of Thessaly should be Prometheus, the most senior of the ancestral gods worshiped by the Lapithians, but Prometheus is not the sun god, so - no! It is precisely because the patron saint of Thessaly is Prometheus! Michus, so he can use the fire of the sun."

Guessing the identity of the god who uses the sun's fire in the sky, Luo Yin said with a complicated expression.

“In the myth, Prometheus stole the flame from the sun chariot of the sun god Helios, so that humans can obtain the original flame. The birth of this myth is no accident, because Prometheus and the sun god Helios Leos has deep roots. The nomads in Thessaly and Thrace originally migrated from the east coast of the Black Sea to the west coast of the Black Sea. This is exactly where the territory of the sun god Helios is located on the east coast of the Black Sea. The reason. In the myth, Prometheus was punished by Zeus in the Caucasus Mountains on the east coast of the Black Sea. Helios and Prometheus were originally gods from the east coast of the Black Sea. With limited understanding, we cannot determine whether Helios and Prometheus originated from the same god, and we can also confirm that Prometheus is a god who controls fire.”

"The name of Prometheus has the meaning of foresight, and his image in mythology is also a wise man - which means that the origin of Prometheus is the ancestral god. He who possesses wisdom and guides nomads with wisdom cannot be ordinary. The people of the tribe must be the leader or king of the tribe. The two major achievements of Prometheus in the myth, one is to create human beings, and the other is to steal the original flame for human beings to create human beings, which can also confirm the myth of Prometheus. The origin of Prometheus is the ancestor god of the nomads, so he is regarded as the creator of the nomads when the Dorians conquered the Peloponnese and dominated Greece. In order to please the rulers, the Greeks made up the myth of the creation of human beings for Prometheus, the ancestor god of the nomads. However, the arrogant Greeks finally looked down on the barbarians who ruled them, so the myths did not clearly explain the Golden Age and the Silver Age. , Bronze Age, Heroic Age - which era of mankind was created by Prometheus? After the Dorian hegemony weakened, King Deucalion of Crete became the ancestor of mankind and created the Promethean Age of mankind. The story of Michus stealing fire from heaven also proves that he is neither the god of the sun nor the god of fire, but a deified ancestral god who taught nomads how to use fire.”

Looking at the gods holding the flame high under the sun, Luo Yin said with a mocking sneer.

"It's just a human being who has been deified for thousands of years. After transforming into a god, he can borrow the divine power of the sun god Helios, but he dares to show off the borrowed light in front of me. Even your master Helios He may not have a more dazzling light than me, and a flame that is hotter than me.”
