Reversing Greek Mythology
Chapter 23 Odysseus kneels down to pray again
The Huaiakaans of Shelia Island are a people who are good at seafaring. They have accumulated a lot of wealth through maritime trade, so they have become proud and conceited.
Odysseus's ship sailed upstream at the mouth of the river on the island of Shelia, and soon arrived at the river port outside the city.
After the ship anchored in the port, Odysseus immediately led the sailors to the shore and ran as fast as possible to the sacred grove dedicated to Athena by the Huaiacians.
Thetis is the ocean goddess who controls the sea, and the rivers are controlled by the local river gods.
Luo Yin's boat arrived at the mouth of the river. Thetis's divine power could not push the boat into the river controlled by the river god. Luo Yin jumped to the shore at the mouth of the river, turned around and said to Thetis on the boat.
"While I am chasing Odysseus, Athena will definitely respond to Odysseus's prayers and come to Shelia Island. You should leave here as soon as possible."
After saying that, Luo Yin chased Odysseus along the river bank.
As a people who are good at sailing, the Huaiakaans have already believed in Poseidon, the king of the sea, and made Poseidon their protector.
Looking at Luo Yin's leaving figure, Thetis said with a helpless smile.
"I am the goddess of the sea who is not welcomed by the Huaiakaans. Even if I want to help you, I can't set foot on the land of Shelia Island!"
Athena's Sacred Grove.
Odysseus brought his sailors here, feeling a little safer in his heart.
When Luo Yin's figure appeared near the sacred grove, he saw Luo Yin wielding the divine spear and rushing towards Athena's sacred grove, with cold murderous intent blooming in his eyes——
The sense of security in Odysseus' heart disappeared immediately, and he led the sailors to leave the sacred grove and flee to the city of the Phaeacians.
As he fled toward the city, Odysseus prayed anxiously to his patron goddess Athena.
Athena heard Odysseus's prayer, but it would take time for her to descend from the city of Athens in mainland Greece to the island of Shelia, and she could not immediately provide help to Odysseus.
Fortunately, Poseidon, the king of the sea, also heard Odysseus's prayer.
According to the decision made by the Council of Gods, Poseidon will act as Odysseus' enemy and prevent Odysseus from returning to his hometown.
But acting is just acting after all.
Therefore, in the original fate track, after Odysseus experienced ten years of suffering, it was Huaiakaya who was protected by Poseidon and sent Odysseus back to his hometown and gave Odysseus a large amount of wealth. people.
When Odysseus fled to the Phaeacian city, in order to allow Odysseus to enter the city smoothly, Poseidon dropped a thick fog to cover Odysseus and his sailors, and when Odysseus entered After the city, he guided Odysseus to escape to the palace of Alcinous, king of the Phaeacians.
Odysseus and his sailors were protected by the thick fog dropped by Poseidon. The Phaeacians guarding the city could not see them, so they did not prevent them from entering the city.
There was no dense fog descended by the gods on Luo Yin's body. Seeing Luo Yin approaching the city wielding the divine spear, the Huaichayans guarding the city immediately gathered and aimed their bows, arrows and spear blades at Luo Yin's body.
"Dangerous foreigner! Stop your steps quickly and don't approach our city. We Huaiakaans do not welcome foreigners. If you refuse to leave, we will attack you with weapons."
Luo Yin seemed not to have heard these warnings and rushed towards the Huaichayan city without slowing down at all.
The conceited Huaiakaans immediately fired a shower of arrows at Luo Yin. These arrows hit Luo Yin's body and immediately fell to the ground, unable to cause any harm to Luo Yin's body.
After the javelins and spears thrown by the Huaichaians were deflected by Luo Yin's body, and seeing Luo Yin's invulnerable body, the Huaichayans immediately regarded Luo Yin as a god and made way for Luo Yin.
The palace of the Huaiakaans.
Protected by the thick fog dropped by Poseidon, Odysseus and his sailors entered the palace unimpeded and came to the banquet hall of the palace.
At this time, the Huaichaian royal family and nobles were having a banquet and having fun in the palace. When they saw Odysseus and his sailors suddenly burst into the banquet hall, King Alcinous immediately called the palace guards as if facing a powerful enemy. Destroy enemies.
Under Poseidon's guidance, Odysseus ran to Queen Arete and knelt down, holding her knees and begging.
"O beautiful and kind queen! I beg you and your husband to give us strangers help, for we are being hunted by our enemies."
The Huaiakaans are a proud people who do not welcome outsiders.
If Odysseus had asked King Alcinous for help, he would have refused.
Queen Arete is not only kind and kind, but also the niece of King Alcinous.
Because of her youth and beauty, her husband the king doted on her very much.
As long as Arete is willing to lend a helping hand to Odysseus, the king will accept this guest.
Although Queen Arete is kind, she is not simple and stupid.
She knew that because Odysseus and others could reach the palace banquet hall unimpeded, there must be powerful gods helping Odysseus.
Arete did not refuse Odysseus's prayer, but looked at her husband Alcinous with questioning eyes.
Alcinous nodded to Arete and said.
"This magical stranger is like an immortal god! Without the power of the god, he would not have suddenly appeared in my palace with so many sailors. Stranger, if you are really a god who has transformed into a human being, , then you don’t need our help, but we need to pray for your protection.”
"Dear King, I am a mortal just like you."
Seeing that the king and his wife did not reject him, Odysseus stood up and said.
"Perhaps you have heard of my name. I am Odysseus, the king of the island of Intac, and one of the princes of the Greek coalition who participated in the Trojan War. After the Trojan War, what happened to me on my way back home? There are many hardships, and my comrade-in-arms, the Son of Achilles, wants to kill me. I came to your palace just to avoid the Son of Achilles, who is as powerful as a god."
As soon as Odysseus finished speaking, Luo Yin's figure appeared at the door of the banquet hall, looking at Odysseus' back and sneered.
"Odysseus! Are you so stupid that you think humans can protect you? Instead of wasting time praying to humans, you should pray to Athena for protection."
Then, Luo Yin threatened Alcinous and Arete.
"This is between me and Odysseus, if you don't want to become a dead king and queen, stay out of my way."
Luo Yin was alone and dared to threaten the king and queen.
The royal men and noble men in the banquet hall drew their weapons one after another, preparing to teach Luo Yin, an arrogant foreigner.
At this moment, a young warrior ran into the banquet hall and told King Alcinous about Luo Yin's physical invulnerability.
Knowing that Luo Yin's body was truly invulnerable, Alcinous looked at Luo Yin in awe and said.
"Neoptolemus, who is like a god, I have heard about your deeds of destroying the city of Troy alone. You have the power to destroy us Phaeacians, so we will not stop you from killing the city of Troy. Decius, but I hope to resolve the conflict between you and Odysseus as a mediator."
