Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 254 Leda and Althea Propose Marriage

The city of Calydon.

Luo Yin and Layoos entered the streets of the city and asked curiously.

"Layos! In this era of barter, you have nothing except gorgeous clothes and shoes that can be used to exchange for what you want, so why are you still here?"

Layoos said as he led Luo Yin towards the palace.

"Dear Chrysippus, although we have nothing to exchange for the items we need, we can go to the palace and ask for help from King Portaon of Calydon."

"In other words, you want to be a beggar who asks for alms from others——"

Before he finished speaking, Luo Yin felt that his description was a little inappropriate.

King Portaon of Calydon was not a fool, and he could not satisfy Layos' request just because Layos asked him for help.

If Portaon saw that Laios was a descendant of Cadmus and the legitimate heir to the throne of Thebes, Portaon's assistance to Laios could only be regarded as an investment in the future.

Both parties are willing to fight and suffer. Layos does not really owe Portaon, so naturally he cannot be described as a beggar.

When Layos wandered to the Inlis area, the reason why King Pelops of Inlis was willing to take Layos in was because he felt that Layos might become the king of Thebes in the future, so he made friends with him in advance. The future king of Thebes.

royal palace.

When Luo Yin and Layoos came to the door, they heard faint laughter coming from the hall, and it seemed that a lively banquet was going on.

After Layos revealed his identity to the palace guards, King Portaon of Calydon, who learned the news, immediately sent a palace maid to greet Layos.

After Luoyin and Laoyinus entered the hall, they saw King Portaon of Calydon wearing a crown and his sons Oeneus, Agrios, Alcatos and other princes, following a group of people. A young prince whose gorgeous clothes were somewhat shabby held a banquet.

Seeing Luo Yin and Layoos, Portaon greeted them warmly.

"Young Layos, please join our banquet with your friends and let me introduce you to each other's identities."

Luo Yin and Layoos sat down at the banquet table in accordance with the guest's etiquette and the host's request.

Portaon glanced at Luo Yin curiously, and then said to Luo Yin and Layoos.

"Let me introduce you to you. I am surrounded by my sons Oeneus, Agrios, and Alcatos, and the guest I am entertaining is Tyndareus, the prince of Sparta. Tyndareus He was supposed to inherit the throne after his father's death, but was usurped by his brother Hippocoon and forced to become a wandering royal family! My new guest is Laionus, the prince of Thebes. He was supposed to inherit the throne after his father's death, but was snatched away by his relative Amphion and forced to become a wandering royal family. "

Speaking of this, Portaon couldn't help but joked with a smile.

"Layius! Tyndareus! Your fates are really similar, and the end of your wanderings is the Yinlis region and the Aetolia region, which are across the sea. This cannot be explained by coincidence. It's like the gods used the same template when weaving your destiny."

Hearing these words, Layos and Tyndareus couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Because in real history, they were robbed of the throne and became a wandering royal family. It is very likely that this is a fabricated false story.

After all, Tyndareus wandered from the Sparta region in the southern Peloponnese Peninsula to the remote Aetolia region, which was obviously somewhat out of touch with reality.

Laionus was expelled by Amphion and Niobe, and even ran to Niobe's brother Pelops to seek asylum. This is a very obvious hint that this is a very false and absurd story.

Portaon didn't pay attention to Layos's reaction, and looked at Luo Yin curiously.

"Layos, can you introduce your companions to me?"

"sure!"

Layoos nodded and said.

"This is my dear friend Chrysippus, the youngest son of King Pelops of Inlys, who protected me in the past."

"You are Chrysippus, Prince of Yinlis——"

Portaon looked at Luo Yin in surprise and said.

"I heard that you are a demigod born to King Pelops of Yinlis and a goddess. Is this true?"

"I am indeed closer to gods than to humans."

After Luo Yin answered calmly, Layoos continued.

"Dear King Portaion! We came to your palace in the hope that you can provide us with food and carriages to help us return to the city of Thebes. If I can become the king of Thebes in the future, I will definitely repay you. "

"no problem!"

Portaon agreed to Layos' request without hesitation.

After all, the Kingdom of Thebes is not only a powerful city-state, but also a neighbor of the Kingdom of Calydon.

Providing trivial help to Laius now, in the future when Laius becomes king of Thebes, Portaon will be rewarded a hundred times a thousand times.

Oeneus suddenly said at this time.

"Layos! Chrysippus! If you are in a hurry to return to Thebes now, I'm afraid you will miss an important opportunity. Now King Testios of Aetolia is preparing for his two daughters Althea and Leda are looking for future husbands. Tyndareus and I are planning to go to the Aetolia region to ask Thestios to marry his two daughters. Do you two want to go together? "

The Aetolia region is located to the west of the Calydon region. In the world of Greek mythology, it is a marginal region with no sense of existence.

As adjacent regions, the Calydon region and the Aetolia region seem to have a very close relationship, so Artea, the patron saint of Calydon, and Leda, the sea goddess who protects the Aetolia region, were set in mythology Married sisters.

Thinking that Leda would transform into Clytemnestra and Inphigenia and become his women in the future, Luo Yin frowned and looked at Tyndareos and said.

"Tindareus! Where did you get the confidence to propose to Leda? From a practical point of view, the Aetolia region and the Sparta region are not only separated by the Gulf of Corinth, but also separated by the Inlis region and Acre. Dia region. If you marry the princess of Aetolia, it will not help you regain the throne. What reason does King Testios of Aetolia have to marry Leda to you? You become the king of Sparta, and you cannot provide any help when the Aetolia region is invaded by foreign enemies. In order to maximize your interests through marriage, you should go to the Kingdom of Mycenae, the Kingdom of Pylos, or the Kingdom of Azeroth. The princess of the Kingdom of Cardia proposes, because they can help you regain the throne. King Testios of Aetolia should also marry Leda to the prince of the neighboring country and form an alliance with the neighboring country."

Facing Luo Yin's question, Tyndareos said helplessly.

"Although from practical interests, I have no reason to propose to Leda, and Leda has no reason to marry me, but I must propose to Leda."

"I see!"

Luo Yin teased with a joking smile.

"Because the myth made up by people hundreds of years later is set like this, so you must wander from Sparta to Aetolia to marry Leda."
