Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 28 Penelope and the Suitors

The Phaeacians' island of Shelia was not far from the island of Intacher, where Odysseus ruled.

When Luo Yin woke up from his sleep, he found that the ship had stopped rocking and had obviously arrived at the port of Yin Take Island.

"I can actually sleep in the cabin for so long——"

Before he finished speaking, Luo Yin realized that although he was lying on the wood in the cabin, his head was resting on Thetis's knees. No wonder he was not awakened from his sleep by the bumps of the ship.

Sensing that Luo Yin was awake, Thetis lowered her head and spoke in her gentle and sweet voice.

"You can still sleep a little longer!"

Her beautiful long blue hair slid down her shoulders and onto Luo Yin's face, and the air Luo Yin smelled instantly became fresh.

Luo Yin hurriedly sat up and said proudly.

"The pillow I rested on before falling asleep was obviously a piece of wood. Don't do such unnecessary things."

"Eh...I did something that disgusted you?"

"It's not that I hate it! It's just that - I have no idea of ​​conquering you, and I don't want to be conquered by you."

After saying that, Luo Yin left the cabin as if running away.

Thetis, who stayed in the cabin, raised her right index finger and pressed her lips to snicker.

"He didn't notice it!"

Luo Yin came outside the cabin and saw the sailors grilling fish over a bonfire for breakfast on the shore.

In this port there is an altar dedicated to Phorcys, the protector of the island of Intac, and next to the altar are caves dedicated to the daughters of Phorcys, the sea goddesses.

When the sailors saw Luo Yin's figure, they all stood up and looked at Luo Yin with awe of the gods.

"Don't worry about me!"

Luo Yin immediately smiled and said to the sailors.

"The king cannot let his soldiers fight on an empty stomach, so I will not give you any orders until you have a full stomach."

The sailors relaxed and continued to enjoy their breakfast.

After the sailors had filled their stomachs, Luo Yin ordered the sailors to carry Odysseus' body with him to the city of Intac.

After Luo Yin left with the sailors, a new ship arrived at the port of Intake Island, and it was Odysseus' ship.

Although Odysseus was killed by Luo Yin, Odysseus' sailors were still alive.

After the Huaichaian ship left with the bodies of Luo Yin and Odysseus, these sailors also returned to their hometown of Intake Island by ship.

Unfortunately, fate has already decided that they cannot return to their hometown.

Thetis left the cabin and came to the deck outside. She turned to look at the ship next to her and saw that it was an empty ship with no sailors on it.

Yin Pagoda carved the city.

royal palace.

Luo Yin led the sailors into the palace unimpeded and met Queen Penelope and her one hundred and eight suitors.

The Greek coalition forces encountered a storm on their way back to their hometown. Except for a few survivors, most of the princes had been killed in the storm.

Odysseus did not return to his hometown for a long time, so there were rumors that Odysseus died in this shipwreck.

Odysseus is the only son of his father Laertes, and Odysseus only has a son who is about ten years old.

So after Odysseus died, his son Telemachus was the only heir to the throne of Intac.

Because Telemachus was young, Odysseus' wife Penelope became the queen who temporarily ruled the island of Intace.

As long as he marries Queen Penelope, and then lets Odysseus' young son die in an accident, he can let his child with Penelope inherit the throne of Intacher Island——

Attracted by the opportunity to obtain the throne, one hundred and eight noble young men came to the palace to propose to the widowed Queen Penelope.

Odysseus' elderly father Laertes, unable to stop the many suitors from coveting his daughter-in-law and the throne belonging to his grandson, has fled to the countryside in despair.

Telemachus, the son of Odysseus, lived in fear every day, fearing that his mother would have a new husband and that he would die.

In a magnificent palace.

Queen Penelope sat on the throne belonging to her husband Odysseus and asked Luo Yin who suddenly broke into the palace.

"Strange foreigner! You seem to be a few years older than my son. You are not here to propose to me, are you?"

The suitors standing on both sides of the aisle glared at Luo Yin, as if Luo Yin was their rival in love for Penelope and the throne, and they would swarm up and attack Luo Yin, a stranger.

"Dear Queen, I have no interest in ruling a small island like Intaker Island."

Luo Yin said with a faint smile.

"I have come to your palace to return to you the body of your husband Odysseus."

Odysseus' body -

Even though he was prepared for the death of Odysseus, when he learned that Odysseus was really dead, Penelope still felt a sense of despair.

Thinking that her son Telemachus still needed to be protected by herself, Penelope suppressed her grief and said to Luo Yin.

"Is Odysseus really dead? It must be the cruel Poseidon who caused him to encounter storms that humans can't defeat!"

Luo Yin shook his head and said.

"It was not Poseidon who killed Odysseus. Odysseus was killed by me in a duel. My name is Neoptolemus. If you have heard of this name, you know that I kill Odysseus." Reasons to Die Odysseus."

After Luo Yin finished speaking, four sailors carried Odysseus' body into the palace and placed it in front of Penelope's throne.

When Telemachus was still a baby, Odysseus had already left the island of Intace to participate in the Trojan War, so Telemachus neither knew Odysseus nor had any feelings for Odysseus.

Penelope recognized her husband's body, and her heart immediately collapsed. She covered her face with a veil and hugged her son, crying softly.

"Odysseus is really dead!"

The suitors cheered when they saw Odysseus' body.

"Penelope, you should now make up your mind to choose a new husband among us."

"If you use Odysseus to refuse our proposal alive, we will attack you together.

Penelope cried even more sadly when she heard the suitors' words.

Because she seemed to suddenly have the ability to predict, as if she saw herself being forced to marry the most powerful suitor, her beloved son Telemachus died in an accident, and then her new husband got the gift of Telemachus throne.

"Cunning Odysseus, I really underestimated your wisdom."

Looking at the orphans and widows who were threatened by the suitors, Luo Yin suddenly understood Odysseus' intention to send his body back to his hometown.

"You have long expected that after you have been away from Yinta Ke Island for ten years, someone must be coveting your throne. Without the help of gods, even if you return to your hometown alive, you will be killed by the enemies of your hometown. You let me kill you You sent your body back to your hometown because you wanted to take advantage of my kindness and let me protect your wife and son!"

Luo Yin's identity is that he is the prince of a great country that is more than five times more powerful than Yin Tak Island, and Luo Yin himself has divine power that rivals the gods.

As long as Luo Yin is willing to protect Penelope and Telemachus, the suitors will never be crazy enough to challenge Luo Yin.
