Reversing Greek Mythology

Also in the Mediterranean world.

When the Egyptian region, Mesopotamia, and the Western Empire in the Eastern Mediterranean gave birth to advanced technology and civilization, these people in the Eastern Mediterranean did not spread the advanced technology and civilization to the central and western Mediterranean with a friendly attitude. , but regard those areas with backward technological civilization as colonies for them to plunder property or carry out colonial rule.

For example, Cadmus, who was squeezed out of his living space in the Phoenician region, came to the Thebes region of Greece to establish a city and a country, becoming a great founder of the city.

As a descendant of Eastern Mediterranean people, Pelops had the same insight as Cadmus.

For Pelops, even if Luo Yin really dominated the entire Greece and left him no room to build a city or country in Greece, he could still go to the western Mediterranean coast to find opportunities to build a city and country.

So after Luo Yin gave Pelops two choices, Pelops finally chose to surrender and survive.

Although Luo Yin saw through Pelops' thoughts, he didn't care.

If Pelops really had the same strength and luck as Cadmus and could build a city and a country in the backward areas of the Western Mediterranean, as long as he would not hinder Luo Yin, Luo Yin would not deliberately target him.

After gathering Pelops and his more than 2,000 soldiers, Luo Yin came to the gate of Yinlis City, looked at Oenomanus standing on the city wall and said.

"King Oenomanus! Now that the war is over, please keep your promise and hand over your daughter Princess Hippodamia and the throne of Yinlis to me."

Upon hearing Luo Yin's request, Oenomanos said expressionlessly.

"Young man! You have proven that you are a young hero, so you are qualified to be my son-in-law. Now tell me your identity."

"I am Pentheus, King of Thebes!"

"You are the grandson of Cadmus, the founder of Thebes—"

After learning Luo Yin's identity, Oenomanus could not help but widen his eyes in surprise.

After all, it was impossible to transport large armies by sea in this era. Luo Yin brought his army to the Yinlis area, passing through the Attica, Corinth and Ahayin areas.

Therefore, Oenomanus never thought that Luo Yin would come from the distant Thebes area.

After coming back to his senses, Oenomanos frowned and said.

"Young Pentheus! Now that all my sons are dead, I cannot let my daughter Hippodamia marry far away in the city of Thebes. You can marry Hippodamia or you can marry Hippodamia. If you want to return to Thebes, let Hippodamia rule the city of Inlis on your behalf as your queen, and let you and Hippodamia's children inherit the throne of Inlis. . The most important thing is that you cannot shake the status of the great God of War Ares as the patron saint of Yinlis City."

After listening to Oenomanos' request, Luo Yin said with a joking sneer.

"King Oenomanus! You said you would hand over Hippodamia and the throne of Inlis to me. Do you just want me to be a tool for having children with Hippodamia? Even if you are my cheap father-in-law , I can only tell you that I cannot agree to these requests of yours."

"Do you want someone who is not my grandson to inherit the throne of Yinlis?"

Luo Yin smiled and did not deny it.

Seeing that Luo Yin neither denied nor admitted, Oenomanos asked next.

"Do you want other gods to replace Ares and become the patron saint of Yinlis City?"

Luo Yin still did not deny it.

The two questions just now are obviously the bottom line for Oenomanos.

Luo Yin not only wanted to hand over the throne of his family to an outsider, but also wanted to oust Ares from the throne of the patron saint of Yinlis City, Oenomanus said angrily.

"Penteus! I am not only the high priest who serves the great god Ares, but I am also favored by Ares and become the son of Ares. If you are the enemy of my father Ares, then you are also me enemy. Even if I have to break my promise, I will not give you my daughter Hippodamia and the throne of Yinlis."

"Then I will lead the more than 4,000 soldiers behind me to attack Yinlis City. Are you confident that we can defend the city successfully?"

Seeing that Oenomanus was speechless, Luo Yin continued.

"If a war breaks out between us, the outcome of the war must be my victory."

"In order to repay the favor shown to me by Father God Ares, I am willing to sacrifice my life to defend Ares."

"If that's the case - then go die!"

Luo Yin turned around and said to Pelops.

"Pelops! Now I order you to lead the soldiers to capture the city of Inlis."

Pelops took a deep breath, lowered his head and begged Luo Yin.

"Great Pentheus! If I can fulfill your orders, I will not ask for any spoils. I only ask that you allow me to leave with five hundred soldiers."

Five hundred soldiers——

It was of course a foolish dream for Pelops to want to build a city and a country on the Greek mainland with this few manpower.

After all, after the invasion of the Mycenaeans, it promoted the development of local technological civilization in Greece.

Even if Cadmus, the founder of Thebes, turned back into a young man, he would not be able to replicate his glorious history of establishing a city and country in Thebes.

But leaving the mainland of Greece, Pelops could bring five hundred soldiers to carry out dimensionality reduction attacks on the tribal civilizations along the western Mediterranean coast.

For example, Yintake Island in the Yonian Sea.

Even after three hundred years of development, during the reign of Odysseus, Odysseus could only summon 400 soldiers from Intac Island to participate in the Trojan War, proving that the population of Intac Island was only Thousands of people.

Three hundred years ago now, even if the entire population of Yin Take Island was added up, there might not be 500 people, and they might not have entered the Bronze Age yet.

If Pelops brought five hundred soldiers to Intaker Island, he would definitely carry out a dimensionality reduction attack and conquer Intaker Island immediately.

If a small island like Intac cannot satisfy Pelops' ambitions, Pelops can take five hundred soldiers to large islands such as Sicily and Sardinia to gain a foothold.

Looking at Pelops' ambitious eyes, Luo Yin nodded.

Pelops immediately led his soldiers to attack the city of Inlis.

Although Yinlis City has high walls, its gates are made of wood.

Pelops quickly led his soldiers to break down the wooden city gate and rushed into the city of Inlis to fight with the soldiers led by Oenomanus.

When the war ended, Luo Yin's soldiers occupied the city of Yinlis. Luo Yin walked into the city of Yinlis and saw Pelops and Oenomanus kneeling among corpses on the street in front of them.

Pelops' spear pierced the body of Oenomanos without mercy.

The sword of Oenomanus also slit the neck of Pelops.

Walking to the body of Pelops and looking at Pelops' dead expression, Luo Yin said with a smile.

"Pelops! I now grant your request and allow you to leave with five hundred soldiers."

After saying that, Luo Yin turned around and walked towards the palace.

After Luo Yin left, Pelops slowly closed his eyes.
