Reversing Greek Mythology

Although the Thebes region plays a very important role in Greek mythology, the Calydon region to the west of Thebes and the Aetolia region above the Calydon region have not been integrated into Greek mythology. Greek mythology contributed to the origins of two goddesses and the four heroic gods they gave birth to.

The goddess who was born in the Aetolia region was Leda, the queen of Spartan king Tyndareus.

It is said that before King Tyndareus of Sparta succeeded to the throne, he was first robbed of the throne by his brother Hippocoon, and Tyndareus was forced to wander to the Aetolia region.

King Testios of Aetolia ruled the Aetolia and Calydon regions. He not only took in Tyndareus, but also married Leda, the sea goddess who protected the Aetolia region, to Tyndare. Russia.

The strange thing is that after Leda married Tyndareus, she gave birth to twin brothers, one was the son of Zeus and the other was the son of Tyndareus, and the twin daughters she gave birth to were also Tyndareus. The other is the daughter of Zeus.

This kind of unreasonable contradiction may occur, perhaps when people fabricate myths hundreds of years later, the Mycenaeans [Zeus] invaded the Aetolia region, and the Mycenaeans [Zeus] invaded the Sparta region. stories are integrated.

Because the Mycenaeans failed to invade Sparta and Aetolia, they reduced the patron goddess of Aetolia to the wife of the Spartan king in mythology, and then claimed that the Queen of Sparta All those born are children of Zeus.

Use the spiritual victory method to rewrite the failure of the invasion of Aetolia and Sparta into a victory for Zeus.

In real history, Leda, the sea goddess who protected the Aetolia region, certainly could not be the wife of King Tyndareos of Sparta.

After all, Tyndareos failed in his bid for the throne and could not wander to the distant Aetolia region.

The goddess Altea, who was born in the Calydon region, was set in mythology as the queen of Calydon king Oeneus and the two daughters of King Testios who ruled the Aetolia and Calydon regions. one.

Because Meleager was the son of Althea in mythology, Althea now became Luo Yin's convenient mother.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, only the city of Calydon faces the Gulf of Corinth in the south.

Luo Yin took Atalanta, whom he met on the way home, to his hometown far away from his past.

royal palace.

Because the palace guard guarding the gate recognized Luo Yin's identity, Luo Yin and Atalanta entered the palace directly and came to the palace where the royal family lived behind the hall.

Upon hearing the news of Luo Yin's return, King Oeneus's real wife - Tydeus's mother Periboa, and his brother Tydeus all came to the courtyard to greet Luo Yin, and even his sick father - the king Oeneus also walked out of the palace to greet Luo Yin.

Luo Yin's nominally cheap mother, Calydon's patron goddess Althea, did not appear.

The family members came to the banquet hall with Luo Yin and Atalanta, and everyone sat down around a table. His mother Polyboa and his younger brother Tydeus expressed their longing for Luo Yin.

After Polyboa finished speaking with tears in his eyes, his cheap father Oeneus said to Luo Yin dissatisfied.

"Even if you marry into a foreign country and become the king there, you will only be a puppet in name only, and cannot be compared with your hometown at all. If you don't come back, the throne I left to you will be taken away by my brother and your cousins. After all, your brother Tydeus is still very young and cannot hold the throne."

Luo Yin became the king of Colchis and Troyin alone. Normal people would think that Luo Yin must be a tool to help the foreign princess give birth to an heir.

Even if the news that Luo Yin has real power reaches Calydon City, Oeneus and others will not take it seriously.

Luo Yin had no interest in explaining anything to Onius and nodded directly.

"I will inherit the throne according to my father's expectations and will not let anyone else take the throne."

Luo Yin's answer satisfied Onius, and he looked at Atalanta and said.

"This girl looks like the daughter of our Calydon mountain people, but her beauty and temperament are very noble. Could it be that she is the wife you brought back?"

Before Luo Yin could introduce Atalanta's identity, Atalanta took the initiative.

"I am a huntress from the Arcadia region. I am the daughter abandoned by the king of Arcadia, Yinsos. I am also the priestess of Artemis, the goddess of hunting. Like Artemis, I have The concept of never marrying.”

Upon learning that Atalanta was the priestess of Artemis, Oeneus's eyes immediately showed hostility.

The goddess Althea who protects the mountainous Calydon region, and the goddess Artemis who used to protect the mountainous Arcadia region, are not only earthly forest goddesses, but Artemis is also a wandering goddess who has lost her territory. A territory is needed as a foothold.

The Calydon region, which is also a mountainous area like the Arcadia region, is obviously an extremely suitable target for Artemis.

Seeing Oeneus' concerns about Atalanta, Luo Yin, driven by love, said with a happy smile.

"Father! Mother! I fell in love with Atalanta completely the first time I saw her, so I want Atalanta to be my queen."

If Atalanta was not the priestess of Artemis, let alone a royal princess who was abandoned by her father, even if she was a huntress of commoner origin, Oeneus would not object to Luo Yin and Atalanta. marry.

But Atalanta's identity is the priestess of Artemis, and Luo Yin was also the one conquered by Atalanta in love.

In the future, Luo Yin will become the King of Calydon and Atalanta will become the Queen of Calydon. Atalanta will most likely use Luo Yin to replace the goddess Artemis she serves and become the new goddess of Calydon. 's patron saint.

Thinking of this possibility, Oeneus immediately said.

"Child! In the future, you will be the King of Calydon. Your queen should be a real princess, not a common girl who was abandoned by her parents and can only call herself a princess."

Queen Polyboa also advised Luo Yin.

"My child, do you remember Oedipus and his daughter Antigone? Five years ago they came to Calydon City with your shield to ask for help, and we have been taking care of them. Just wait a few more years. It would be better to marry Antigone than Atalanta."

Seeing that Oeneus and Polyboa opposed his marriage to Atalanta, Luo Yin felt a strong murderous intention in his heart.

The next moment!

Luo Yin woke up from his murderous intention and suddenly understood the reason why Meleager killed his two uncles.

"In the myth, Meleager's killing of his two uncles was a fate already decided by the gods. Even if Meleager himself was not so crazy, the fate woven by the gods would distort his will. Now the power of myth Distorting reality also makes it difficult for me to control myself. If Atalanta becomes my woman, I don't mind surrendering to fate. The problem is that Meleager gives everything and can only be a licker until the end. Licking the dog.”
