Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 226 The Argonaut and Lemnos Island

In this era of barter, fifty heroes from royal families risked their lives to participate in the Golden Fleece Journey. It was neither a selfless dedication to help Yin Asong win the Golden Fleece, nor a search for the gold everywhere in the Colchis region. ——They are interested in metal gold, which is not even worth making into weapons. Instead, they want to obtain life gold that is equal to life - food.

After the goals of the heroes participating in the Golden Fleece Journey were clear, Luo Yin pretended to be stunned and said.

"So that's it! Yin Asong organized the Golden Fleece Journey in order to complete the task assigned to him by Pelias and regain the throne. The heroes actively participated in the Golden Fleece Journey in order for Yin Asong to become a guide and lead everyone Go to the food-rich Colchis region.”

Hearing Luo Yin's words, Acastus couldn't help but complain.

"Meleager, the reason why you came to participate in the Golden Fleece Journey is also for the food in the Colchis region!"

Luo Yin nodded calmly and said.

"The mountainous Calydon region is as scarce in resources as the Arcadia region. In order to obtain more food through hunting in the mountains and forests, I can't help but want to replace the original patron goddess of the Calydon region. Artemis, the goddess of hunting, becomes the new patron goddess of Calydon.”

"Calydon Boar, are you really crazy?"

Luo Yin's cheap cousin, Castor, the son of King Tyndareus of Sparta, immediately warned.

"If you are crazy enough to betray the original patron saint and want to make the fallen Artemis the new patron saint, then we will organize a hunt. Because your shield is engraved with a wild boar, this hunt , it’s the Calydon boar hunting that targets you.”

"Hunting Meleager's Calydon boar hunt - this hunt has been passed down to the future. Maybe those who don't understand the myth will regard it as organized by Meleager - with the mythical beast Calydon Wild Boar Targeted Hunting.”

Of course Luo Yin knew that the beasts that were vanquished in mythology were usually kings who served the gods.

In the myth of the hunting of the Calydon boar, the mythical boar of the hunting goddess Artemis is actually Meleager, who loves Atalanta.

Because he wanted to betray his original patron saint, he was killed by his mother, the patron goddess of the Calydon region.

Castor's twin brother Polydeuces also said to Luo Yin.

"No matter how serious the problems in Calydon are, don't do anything stupid to offend the gods."

"Brother Castor! Brother Polydeuces! Thank you for your concern. As long as I get the coveted food from the Colchis region, I will not betray the mother-like goddess."

For this journey to the Golden Fleece, King Pelias prepared a sea-going ship that could accommodate a crew of fifty.

This was a gorgeous ship made of solid wood that would not rot in sea water. The ship was named the Argonauts after its builder.

When the heroes were ready to go, they began to assign their positions on the ship.

Yin Asong directly served as the captain as the guide, and heroes including Peleus, Telamon, Castor, Polydeuces, Neleus, Admetus, Oleus, and Luo Yin , is to become an ordinary sailor holding an oar in hand.

Before setting off from the port of Iolkas, the heroes made sacrifices to the gods of the ocean and prayed devoutly for the protection of the ocean gods.

After the sacrifice, the heroes boarded the ship to their positions, and then set sail under the command of captain Yin Asong.

The next day, with the help of the west wind, the Argonaut sailed towards Lemnos Island like an arrow.

In the myth, a strange thing happened on Lemnos one year before the Argonauts arrived at Lemnos.

Because the men of Lemnos brought many women from Thrace, the women of Lemnos became jealous and killed their husbands who could protect them and their children.

But in the real world, Lemnos is just an island with a population of several thousand, and it does not have the strength to snatch women from the nomadic tribes in Thrace.

In an era when men could have many women, the women on Lemnos Island had no reason to dig their own graves and kill their husbands, brothers and fathers who protected them.

So when the Argonauts arrived at Lemnos, the local residents who appeared at the port were not a group of heavily armed women, but a group of heavily armed men.

Argonauts.

Before the heroes landed on the island, a meeting was held under the chairmanship of Captain Yin Asong.

The topic of discussion among the heroes was how to treat the residents of Lemnos Island.

The heroes set out empty-handed to the region of Colchis to claim the Golden Fleece, a journey that was essentially a bandit's journey.

Since this is a bandit trip, there is no need to hide everyone's bandit nature.

If the local residents have strong strength, pay friendly visits to the local residents.

If the local residents do not have strong strength, they will conquer the place and become the ruler.

Lemnos Island, with a population of only a few thousand, obviously does not have the strength to fight against the Argonauts.

So after the heroes reached a consensus to conquer Lemnos Island, Yin Asong couldn't wait to say.

"Dear friends! During our long journey, we will set foot on many lands suitable for us to conquer. As your captain and leader, I should have the power to distribute the spoils, so I ask that Lemnos Island be mine Territory. From now on, I and my descendants will become the kings of Lemnos Island.”

As the captain and guide, Yin Asong's request was very reasonable, so others did not object to Yin Asong's words.

Luo Yin couldn't help frowning when he thought that the queen of Lemnos Island, Hypercybele, would be his woman in the future.

"Yin Asong! I didn't participate in the Golden Fleece Tour just to let you use your power as leader to take away our spoils. You can ask Lemnos Island to become your territory, but the women of Lemnos Island become I won’t let you use the power of the leader to snatch away our spoils.”

Yin Asong himself does not have strong military force. He can gain the respect of the heroes and even become the leader, just because the heroes need him to be their guide, so Yin Asong does not dare to abuse the power of the leader.

Being able to obtain Lemnos Island as his territory, Yin Asong, as a wandering royal family, is very satisfied, and naturally he will not be greedy enough to compete with other heroes for the women of Lemnos Island.

So after hearing Luo Yin's words, Yin Asong said with a smile.

"Dear Meleager, I just want to get the territory and the throne to restore my royal status. I am not very interested in women."

When the heroes reached an agreement, they disembarked from the ship and landed on the island with weapons and shields, and began to massacre the men of Lemnos Island.

In order to prevent Hypercybele from being snatched away by other heroes, Luo Yin entered the city alone and came to the palace of King Thoas of Lemnos Island.

At this time, King Thoas had already learned about the invasion of foreigners. When Luo Yin came outside the palace gate, King Thoas happened to be leading a hundred well-equipped palace guards, preparing to go outside the city to fight the invaders.
