Reversing Greek Mythology

After listening to Luo Yin's words, Oedipus was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said.

"Now, both Creon and my two sons will oppose my return to Thebes to compete with them for the throne. If without my intervention, my two sons kill each other to compete for the throne, it means that this is Their inevitable fate."

Then Oedipus said worriedly.

"Prince Meleager, now you should be more concerned about the problems you are about to face than my affairs. Now you only have the elderly King Oeneus and the young brother Tydeus to support you, and your The enemy was the mighty Agrius and his three sons, Oncestus, Proteus, and Thersites.”

"Are you worried that if I fail in the fight for the throne, you and Antigone will live a wandering life again?"

Luo Yin said with a confident smile.

"The throne that belongs to me will never be taken away by Agrius and his sons. The outcome of this battle for the throne has long been determined."

When night falls.

Luo Yin said goodbye to Oedipus and Antigone and returned to his palace in the palace.

After his brother Tydeus learned that Luo Yin had returned to the palace, he immediately came to Luo Yin's palace and curiously asked Luo Yin about his experiences in the past five years.

Luo Yin told Tydeus all his experiences in the past five years, letting him know that he now controls a huge territory a hundred times the size of the Calydon region, and also controls the combined fleet across the Black Sea and Aegean Sea.

"Tydeus! In fact, the reason why I came back to inherit the throne this time is to prevent others from taking away the throne that belongs to me. After inheriting the throne, I will hand over the Calydon throne to you and make you the new King of Calydon. "

The Kingdom of Calydon is a city-state with poor land and a sparse population. It can only be regarded as a medium-sized city-state at best.

Luo Yin really had no interest in wasting his precious time in Calydon City.

Because Luo Yin is the first heir to the Calydon throne, Tydeus could not inherit the throne and become the king, and could only bear the identity of the Calydon prince for the rest of his life.

Hearing Luo Yin say that he would give the Calydon throne to him, Tydeus suppressed the excitement in his heart and said.

"If my brother really wants to give up the throne to me, then let me deal with Uncle Agrios and his three sons!"

Seeing Tydeus' confident expression, Luo Yin couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Had Tydeus been able to fight against Agrius and his sons, he would not have been expelled by Agrius in his original destiny.

"You are still a child under the age of sixteen. There is no shame in accepting the protection of your father and brother."

the next day.

Agrios, his sons, and the nobles of Calydon City learned of the news of Luo Yin's return, and came to the palace to visit Luo Yin.

Palace hall.

Oeneus sat on the throne, Luo Yin and Tydeus stood on both sides of the throne, and the three of them received Agrios, his son and the nobles together.

After Agriaus and his son and the nobles entered the hall, Oeneus ordered the palace maid to bring the food and wine for the banquet.

After everyone enjoyed the food and wine, Oeneus said this.

"My dear brothers, nephews, and friends! When I can no longer rule the city of Calydon, my proud eldest son Meleager has finally returned to the city of Calydon. Now I am ready to take my throne under your witness. Pass it on to Meleager, who will become the new King of Calydon.”

After hearing what Oeneus said, Agrios immediately said.

"Dear brother! Can young Meleager really rule the city of Calydon? I think he still has shortcomings. For example, he brought back a girl who was said to be the priestess of Artemis and wanted to That girl became his queen. An unknown girl is not qualified to be the mistress of Calydon City, not to mention that this girl is a priestess serving a wandering god."

"I know what you're worried about."

Oeneus glared at Agrios with an unhappy expression and said.

"Now that Polyboa and I are still alive, we will make a noble and beautiful princess the new queen. The girl named Atalanta can only become Meleager's concubine."

In a world where kings have the divine right, betraying the patron saint is enough reason for Agrios to attack Luo Yin.

Seeing that Onius wanted to defend himself and gave Agrius no reason to attack him, Luo Yin stood up and said.

"Actually, I have been thinking about a question. How can our Kingdom of Calydon, sandwiched between Thebes and Aetolia, develop into a powerful city-state. In addition to the king who rules the Kingdom of Calydon working harder, , maybe we can also let a more powerful god protect the Calydon region."

Hearing Luo Yin's words, everyone, including Oeneus and Tydeus, showed frightened expressions.

Luo Yin wants to change the patron saint of the Calydon region, which is equivalent to declaring war on the current patron goddess of the Calydon region, Altea.

"You are really crazy!"

After recovering from the shock, Agrios suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart and said.

"Meleager, the goddess Althea has protected the city of Calydon for hundreds of years. Not only are you not grateful to the goddess, you also want to betray and abandon the goddess. You are not qualified to be the king of Calydon, let alone stand in Althea. On the land guarded by the goddess.”

"In order to change the Calydon region, I don't mind becoming the enemy of the goddess Althea."

Luo Yin looked at Agrios with a calm face and said.

"To prove that my idea is right, let us have a war to determine the ownership of the throne! You can get the support of the goddess Althea, or you can win support from all the tribal leaders in the Calydon region. As long as you Defeat me and you can take the throne for yourself, but if you lose, I will transform the Calydon region according to my ideas."

"Meleageros——"

"elder brother!"

After Oeneus and Tydeus screamed in worry, Luo Yin looked at them with confident eyes and said.

"Please rest assured, I will never lose to Agrios."

After the banquet in the hall, Agreos left the palace happily and began to solicit support from the nobles of Calydon City and tribal leaders from various places.

Luo Yin also came to the Altea Temple in the palace.

Luo Yin walked into the temple and saw Atalanta confronting Althea in human form.

Seeing Luo Yin's figure appear, Althea looked at Luo Yin and said.

"I didn't expect that you, who grew up under my protection and upbringing, would actually betray me and choose Artemis. Your betrayal makes me so heartbroken. What makes me even more heartbroken is that next, I must destroy my own child with my own hands. ”

"Are you threatening him?"

Atalanta looked at Althea with a cold face and said.

"Artemis is more powerful than you. Now that Meleager wants to serve Artemis, Artemis will protect him."

"Can't even protect herself? Artemis, who was suppressed by Zeus and turned into a wandering goddess, is really capable of protecting him?"

Althea sneered and mocked.

"Artemis will regret provoking me, and Meleager will regret betraying me and choosing Artemis."
