Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 216 The Eternal Prisoner of the Caucasus Mountains

In mythology, Prometheus is undoubtedly a very special god.

As the descendants of the first-generation Titans, the second-generation Titans either became neither enemies nor friends of Zeus like the sun god Helios, or they were enemies of Zeus and were not like theirs. The fathers were punished by Zeus together.

Only Prometheus was a second-generation Titan who supported Zeus.

In the original myth, Metis, the goddess of wisdom, advised Zeus. She not only helped Zeus overthrow the rule of Cronus, but also used her wisdom to help Zeus become the master when Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades distributed the dominion of the world. King of the gods of the sky.

Later, as the Dorians came to dominate Greece, Prometheus completely replaced Metis, the goddess of wisdom.

In mythology, Prometheus used his wisdom to help Zeus overthrow Cronus and become the king of the gods who ruled the sky.

Even the creation of humans seems to be because Metis inherited the creation myth of the ocean goddess. In the original myth, it was Metis, the goddess of wisdom, who created humans.

As Dorian rose to prominence, Prometheus created humanity, and Metis, the goddess of wisdom, gave humanity a soul.

In addition to helping Zeus become the king of the gods and create humans, Prometheus also stole the original flame for humans and formulated rules for humans to sacrifice to the gods. It seems that Prometheus serves as a bridge of communication between humans and gods.

The status of Prometheus is so special. Unfortunately, as the Dorian hegemony weakened, Prometheus' status in myth also became a prisoner in the Caucasus Mountains, subject to eternal punishment by Zeus.

Although in the myth of Prometheus, there is a story about Heracles rescuing Prometheus and letting Chiron become a prisoner in Prometheus's place, this is obviously a lie.

Prometheus was the ancestral god of the Lapithians of Thessaly.

Chiron was the ancestor of the Centaurs in Thessaly.

The centaurs are the belittled and vilified image of the Lapithians in mythology.

Chiron, the ancestor of the Centaurs, is also the belittled image of Prometheus, the ancestor of the Lapiths in mythology.

Therefore, in the myth, Chiron replaced Prometheus as a prisoner in the Caucasus Mountains, which means that Prometheus was not rescued and was still a prisoner in the Caucasus Mountains.

This is also a natural result.

The Dorian hegemony did not rise again after its decline, and those who fabricated myths naturally had no reason to kneel down and lick the Dorians and beautify Prometheus.

While Luo Yin interpreted Prometheus, Peleus did not stop attacking Luo Yin.

While Luo Yin easily dodged the spear blades and sword blades thrust by Peleus, he was thinking about why the patron saint of the Thessaly region was not the sun god Helios.

"Thessalians and Thracians are both nomadic peoples, but they have different ancestors and gods, and they migrated to the north of Greece at different times? This seems to be a reasonable explanation!"

Thinking of this, Luo Yin stopped retreating and then swung the divine spear to stab Peleus.

At this time, Peleus had received the divine blessing of Prometheus.

Facing Luo Yin's counterattack, Peleus hurriedly dodged the spear blade piercing his neck, and then swung his sword to slash Luo Yin's shoulder.

Luo Yin dodged Peleus' attack, and then increased his speed to the limit of the demigod realm.

In the clouds of the sky.

Prometheus looked down at the battle between Luo Yin and Peleus, and murmured with a solemn expression.

"No god came to give Haemon divine power, but he can actually have strength that surpasses ordinary demigods. Isn't he a human?"

Although Prometheus had doubts about Luo Yin's identity, before Luo Yin showed his power as a god, Prometheus could only give his divine power to Peleus and could not fight Luo Yin directly.

Seeing the huge gap between Peleus's speed and Luo Yin's, Prometheus immediately called softly.

"Aeolus——"

The next moment!

A strong wind swept across the plain of Thessaly and came to the battlefield where Loyin and Peleus were fighting.

With the help of this strong wind, Peleus' speed increased to the same level as Luo Yin, and his attack once again threatened Luo Yin.

A male god with long cyan hair also appeared next to Prometheus in the sky.

Seeing that two gods had become Peleus' backing, Luo Yin knew that he could no longer hide his strength.

A loud bang!

Luo Yin used his divine spear to collide with Peleus' war spear, and after knocking Peleus back, Luo Yin used his divine power to change his body, transforming into a 100-meter-tall god.

Seeing Luo Yin appear as a god, Peleus and his two thousand soldiers immediately retreated away from Luo Yin in panic.

Luo Yin's Theban soldiers knelt on the ground and worshiped devoutly.

On the walls of Iolkas.

Acastus opened his eyes in shock and said after witnessing the miracle of Luo Yin turning into a god.

"Is this Haemon turning into a god, or is there a god disguised as Haemon?"

After Prometheus and Aeolus were surprised, the two gods landed in front of Luo Yin from the sky, and Aeolus said angrily.

"Alien God! How can you directly interfere in human wars? What you do violates the rules of the gods."

"It's so noisy!"

Facing Aeolus' accusation, Luo Yin said with a joking sneer.

"You have all seen just now that I did not use the power of the gods to deal with Peleus, so I did not violate the rules of the gods."

A god uses the power under the god's domain to interfere in human wars. This behavior cannot be deemed to violate the god's rules.

After Aeolus was rendered speechless, Prometheus said calmly.

"Even if your behavior just now did not violate the rules of the gods, now that you have exposed your identity as a god, you should withdraw from the human war."

Luo Yin shook his head and said.

"I exposed the identity of the gods not to withdraw from this war, but to get rid of you two troublesome guys and then continue this war. Don't you see that I am fundamentally different from you. Although I I also have the power of gods, but my identity is a human king, so as long as I don’t use the power of gods to interfere in the war, my actions will not violate the rules of gods.”

"You are not pretending to be a human, but your identity is really a human king - such a violation of the gods' rules is impossible!"

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not! Just like oaths are meant to be broken and rules are meant to be stepped on, I am a special being who can step on the rules of gods."

After saying that, Luo Yin swung his divine spear towards Prometheus and Aeolus.

The two gods retreated at the same time to avoid Luo Yin's attack, and then Aeolus turned into a hurricane and hit Luo Yin's body. Prometheus raised his hands to create a ball of sun fire and hit Luo Yin.

Luo Yin stood motionless, letting the hurricane incarnate from Aeolus blow over his body.

"Wind God Aeolus, your divine wind only has this power? It seems that you are just the grassland wind god of the nomadic people after all. Your divine power cannot match the four major wind gods among the natural gods."

The sun fire thrown by Prometheus flew in front of Luo Yin, and Luo Yin opened his mouth to swallow the sun fire.
