Reversing Greek Mythology

In the era of city-building founders, Cadmus was certainly not the only city-building founder.

In addition to Cadmus, the founder of the city of Thebes, there are also Pandion I, the founder of the current city of Athens, Sisyphus, the founder of the city of Corinth, Perseus, the founder of the Kingdom of Mycenae, and the founder of the Kingdom of Inlis. The ancestor Pelops—these great ancestor-level kings are all still alive.

If Luo Yin wants to deal with these great ancestor-level kings, he must have the identity of the King of Thebes who can get along with them as an equal.

Therefore, even if Luo Yin has no ambitions for the throne now, he cannot immediately return the throne to Cadmus' orthodox heir.

After hearing Luo Yin's words, Cadmus asked with a serious expression.

"Penteus, will you really return the throne to your cousin Labdacus?"

Luo Yin nodded seriously, Cadmus lowered his head and said with a ashamed expression.

"Then before you return the throne to Labdakos, try to get more benefits for you and your family!"

Although Luo Yin is not the orthodox heir of Cadmus, he is also the grandson of Cadmus.

The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and Cadmus did not want to force Luo Yin to hand over the throne.

After Cadmus left the hall with Polydorus and Labdacos, Agaua said angrily with gritted teeth.

"My father is so partial. Both his daughter and his son are his children. How could he only let his son and grandson be his heirs to the throne? Has he forgotten that we are descendants of the Phoenicians, and our daughters also have the right to inherit."

For people who worship goddesses, their daughters usually have the right to inherit.

Not only the Phoenicians on the eastern Mediterranean coast, but also the West Taiwanese and Egyptians also had this custom.

The reason why the Egyptian pharaohs married within their royal families was because the royal daughters had higher inheritance rights than the bastards.

Therefore, when the queen only gave birth to a legitimate daughter but not a legitimate son, she could only let the legitimate daughter and the legitimate son become husband and wife to prevent others from using the royal legitimate daughter to seize the throne.

Looking at Agao who was angry for him, Luo Yin said with a faint smile.

"Mother, I really have no interest in the throne. And if I am ambitious, there are thrones in all of Greece and the entire Mediterranean that I can seize. There is no need for me to compete with Labdacos for the tiny throne of Thebes. "

After comforting his mother, Luo Yin looked at his messenger and said.

"I heard that King Pandion of Athens has two young and beautiful daughters, Procne and Philomela. I want you to go to the city of Athens and ask Pandion to give me the two Athenian princesses. If Pandion dares to refuse me, I will Conquer the city of Athens with war and take away Procne and Philomela personally.”

After hearing Luo Yin's order, the envoy showed a troubled expression on his face.

After all, the city of Athens is also a large city-state, and King Pandion of Athens is the highly respected founder of the city. It is impossible to accept Luo Yin's request.

But the envoy could not refuse Luo Yin's order and could only leave the hall with his head lowered.

After the messenger left, Agao asked excitedly.

"My child, do you want to conquer the city of Athens and then let Labdacos be the king of Athens, or do you want to be the king of Athens yourself?"

Luo Yin instinctively wanted to deny it.

But the words of denial came to his lips. Looking at Agao's expectant eyes, Luo Yin finally said.

"If there is no better throne for me to choose, I will consider becoming the king of Athens."

"Being the king of Athens is not as good as being the king of Thebes."

Although the Kingdom of Athens will be the strongest city-state in Greece in the future, and Athena, the patron goddess of the city of Athens, will also be the strongest goddess in Greece, the current city of Athens does not have the potential to establish hegemony, and Athena has not evolved into the strongest form.

It can even be said that the goddess Pallas Athena has not yet been born.

The patron saint of the city of Athens is still Metis, the goddess of the sea.

The Kingdom of Athens, the most powerful city-state in Greece, not only ruled the entire Attica Peninsula, but also half of the Isthmus of Corinth, covering an area of ​​3,000 square kilometers.

But now the Kingdom of Athens only rules the Attica Peninsula, covering an area of ​​2,000 square kilometers.

Instead, the Kingdom of Corinth established by Sisyphus, the founder of the city of Corinth, ruled the entire Isthmus of Corinth and had an area of ​​3,000 square kilometers.

[To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】

Amphitrite, the sea goddess who protects the Kingdom of Corinth, is naturally a more powerful goddess than Metis, the patron saint of the Kingdom of Athens.

Later, the Kingdom of Corinth was conquered by the Kingdom of Mycenae, and half of the Isthmus of Corinth was captured by the Kingdom of Athens. Only then did Athena [Metis] become a more powerful goddess than Amphitrite.

The fallen sea goddess Amphitrite also took on the two identities of Amphitrite and Eurynome, and became the queen of Poseidon and the third wife of Zeus.

Coming to this era when the Kingdom of Mycenae had just emerged, Luo Yin naturally wanted to meet Perseus - even if he was an old man now.

To go to Mycenae safely, of course, you must conquer the Kingdom of Athens and the Kingdom of Corinth that you must pass along the way.

city ​​of athens.

royal palace.

Luo Yin's envoy met Pandion, King of Athens, in the throne room.

After the messenger stated his intention, Pandion on the throne asked with a solemn expression.

"Your king Pentheus didn't ask you to propose on his behalf, but instead asked me to give him my two daughters?"

The messenger nodded with cold sweat on his forehead and said.

"King Pentheus did not say anything about wooing your daughter."

"Young Pentheus dares to humiliate me like this. Even if he proposes, I will not give him my daughter in marriage."

"King Pandion! Please think carefully. If you refuse King Pentheus's request, the city of Athens will face an unprecedented war."

"No need to think about it! Even Perseus couldn't conquer the city of Athens. Could it be that Pentheus is more powerful than the young Perseus?"

Even in the era of the founders of the city, Perseus was undoubtedly the strongest hero.

The messenger naturally did not dare to say that Luo Yin now was stronger than Perseus when he was young.

After Pandion drove away Luo Yin's envoy, two young and beautiful girls hurried to the palace.

They were Pandion's daughters Procne and Philomela.

Procne and Philomela came to Pandion's throne, and Procne asked curiously.

"I heard that there was an envoy from Thebes today. Why didn't my father entertain the envoy with a banquet?"

"Because his master Pentheus is a madman."

Pandion said with uncontrollable anger.

"Penttheus actually asked his messenger to ask for you, and asked me to give you both to him. If Pentheus asked his messenger to propose marriage, maybe I would consider making him the husband of one of you. Since he is so arrogant that As the city of Athens becomes his vassal, I will naturally not agree to his rude request."

After listening to Pandion's words, Philomela said with a worried expression.

"But father, the city of Thebes is more powerful than our city of Athens! If crazy Pentheus really launches a war, can we defeat him?"

Pandion was silent for a moment and said with a glint in his eyes.

"If the city of Thebes really launches a war, I will seek help from King Yinlis, Oenomanos, the son of Ares, the god of war."
