Reversing Greek Mythology

In Greek mythology, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was reduced to the female version of the public lover, but she never had an intersection with the male version of the public lover, Zeus.

This can almost be said to be an unsolved mystery in Greek mythology, because Zeus did not even let go of his nominal sisters Demeter and Hera.

It now seems that the reason Zeus did not take action against Aphrodite was because the other goddesses were only nominally set to be Zeus's biological sisters.

However, Adad, the origin of Zeus, and Astartes, the origin of Aphrodite, are brothers and sisters in real history.

Cyprus Island.

Lydra City.

royal palace.

Luo Yin and Amphitryon looked at Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and Arathia, the king of Cyprus, in the hall, thinking about the reasons to persuade them to help.

Although the origin of Zeus can be traced back to the Semitic storm god, and the ancestors of the Mycenaeans can also be traced from Crete to the Semitic people on the east coast of the Eastern Mediterranean, Semitic people do not refer to just a certain nation, but It is a collective name for all the peoples living on the east coast of the Mediterranean and between the two river basins.

In terms of geographical division, the Semitic people living in the ancient Phoenician region on the east coast of the Eastern Mediterranean are called West Semites or Phoenicians.

The Semites in the central and western Mesopotamia are also called East Semites.

The East Semitic and West Semitic branches continue to be divided, and the East Semitic can be further subdivided into the Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians.

The Western Semitic branch is even more complicated.

Although in the ancient times before the Bronze Age, because these peoples lived in the same area and had the same beliefs, they could be uniformly classified as Semitic people.

But now in the late Bronze Age, even Zeus has evolved into a god of thunder that is completely different from the Storm God. Naturally, it is impossible for the Mycenaeans to use their ancestors to claim that they are compatriots with the Cypriots or even the Cilicia pirates. and own people.

After all, if one carefully traces the origins, perhaps the ancestors of the Mycenaeans in the Phoenician region were just different peoples with the same worship as the Cyprian and Cilican pirates.

"King Arathia! The Cilicia pirates have plundered on the sea and must have accumulated unimaginable wealth. As long as the Kingdom of Cyprus is willing to provide us with help, we can give you the right to share the spoils."

Hearing Luo Yin's words, Alasia's eyes lit up, and she was obviously moved by Luo Yin's proposal.

After all, as long as the Kingdom of Cyprus joins forces with the Mycenaean expedition fleet, defeating the Cilicia pirates will be 100% successful.

After looking at Aphrodite asking for permission, Alasia looked at Luo Yin and Amphitryon and said.

"We can provide you with information about the Cilicia pirates, and we will also send a thousand soldiers to attack the Cilicia pirates. Afterwards, we will get the right to share the spoils equally."

Divide the spoils equally——

In order to win this expedition, the Mycenaeans sent three thousand elite warriors.

The Cypriots just provided intelligence and sent a thousand soldiers to help in the battle, but they want to take half of the loot - why don't you go and grab it?

Luo Yin and Amphitryon looked at each other, and Amphitryon nodded helplessly.

"As long as we successfully conquer the Cilicia pirates, we will share the spoils equally."

Amphitryon had no choice but to agree to the lion's opening of Alasia.

Because the Mycenaeans were eager to deal with the Cilicia pirates and protect the safety of the routes of grain ships.

As long as the piracy problem can be solved with the help of the Cypriots, even if Alashia wants all the loot, the Mycenaeans can only agree with their noses pinched.

After the cooperation between the two parties was confirmed, Alashia immediately ordered the palace maid to prepare the banquet, and Aphrodite quietly left the hall.

the next day.

Arathea gathered a fleet of a thousand sailors and joined the Mycenaean expedition fleet to attack Cilicia.

After a day and night of sailing.

The next morning, the combined fleet of Mycenaeans and Cypriots arrived at the plain of Cilicia, which was surrounded on three sides by mountains.

Although the Cilicia region is famous for being rich in pirates, this plain located in the southeastern corner of the Asia Minor Peninsula is also the gateway from the Asia Minor Peninsula into the Mesopotamian Plain and can become an important hub for land and sea trade.

During the Roman Empire in real history, the Cilicia Plain was a very prosperous trade area.

The port of Cilicia, located in a bay sunken to the north, is now a stronghold for piracy.

After the combined fleets of the Mycenaeans and Cypriots entered the bay, hundreds of pirate ships in the port of Cilicia immediately responded and took the initiative to attack the combined fleet.

After the soldiers from both sides fought, the pirates quickly fell into a disadvantage because the number of soldiers was smaller than that of the combined fleet, and the combat power of the soldiers was also lost to the soldiers of the combined fleet.

Luo Yin and Amphitryon stood on the flagship and commanded the battle, and were not surprised that the balance of victory tilted towards the combined fleet.

The Cilicia region is now in the period of being conquered by the Xitai Empire for the second time. If the Cilicia region has a strong military power, it will definitely arouse the fear of the Xitai Empire and even suppress it.

It is precisely because it cannot develop on land that the Cilicia region will fully develop piracy.

Huhuhu——

Just when the pirate ship was blocked by the United Fleet in the port and the unilateral massacre became a foregone conclusion, a fierce storm suddenly came and attacked the warships of the United Fleet with huge power.

Obviously, this is the storm god Typhon, the patron god of the Cilicia pirates, showing his power.

Facing the oncoming storm, the Cypriots immediately summoned their patron goddess Aphrodite.

Feeling the fluctuation of Aphrodite's divine power, Luo Yin turned around and saw Aphrodite descending to the sea in the form of a hundred-meter-tall god, using her right hand to release divine power to eliminate the power of the storm.

"Astartes, do you want to be my enemy?"

Aphrodite came to the battlefield to protect the Cypriots who were attacking the Cilicia pirates. A thunderous voice immediately descended from the sky and asked.

"You actually made an enemy of your own brother. Have you forgotten how powerful I am?"

After saying that, a giant god with a pair of black wings on his back descended from the sky.

"Who is your sister?"

Aphrodite rolled her eyes and said after hearing Typhon's question.

"Although we are all classified as gods worshiped by the Semitic people, so that we are regarded as brother and sister gods. However, the humans who worship the Storm God and the humans who worship the female war goddess Astartes obviously do not belong to the same nation. That's why we We are recognized as the master of the gods and the mistress of the gods, and there is even a story that I am stronger than you. The relationship between you and me is that we were born in the same land. Although humans will be born in the same land. The gods of a land are regarded as sister gods, brother gods, or brother and sister gods, but I am not interested in being your sister. "

After hearing Aphrodite's words, Typhon said with a joking smile.

"Are you angry that I didn't take you to Crete and the Peloponnese?"

"It's not me you should really care about!"

Aphrodite said, changing the subject.

"The one who is really attacking you now is not me, but another you."
