Reversing Greek Mythology
Chapter 42 Praying to Artemis is in vain
In the city-state era, worshiping gods was a very serious matter.
Human beings worship gods as patron saints because gods will only protect people in a single city-state or region, and will never protect even enemies.
Gods who protect their enemies are not worshiped by humans.
Therefore, on the Trojan battlefield, no Greeks would pray to Apollo or Ares who supported the Trojans to help them kill the Trojans, and no Trojans would pray to Athena who supported the Greeks. Or Poseidon helping himself to kill the Greeks.
The Tauris and the Greeks were enemies, but they prayed to Artemis, the Greek goddess of hunting, to help them kill the Greeks - this kind of magical thing would not happen in the real world.
In reality, the Greeks did not conquer the Tauris people, so they rewritten the goddess worshiped by the Tauris people into Artemis, the goddess of hunting, in mythology. This unreasonable thing happened.
King Tauris looked at Luo Yin and Inphigenia with an angry expression and said.
"Artemis, the Greek goddess of hunting, is as untrustworthy as the priestess Inphigenia. We have always respected Inphigenia, but she kept a distance from us and never killed our sacrifices to the gods with her own hands. Only."
"Since you know that Artemis and Inphigenia are not worthy of your Tauris people's nostalgia, then let me take them away!"
"No! Although Artemis is not the god we Tauris people truly worship, and Inphigenia is also an incompetent priest, they still belong to us Tauris people. The statue of Artemis falling from the sky and the sudden appearance in the temple Inphigenia is a gift from the gods to us Tauris people, and I will never let you, a stranger, take it away."
"Stupid King Tauris, Thoas! Since you are not willing to be persuaded by my words, let us negotiate with strength."
Luo Yin finished speaking with a sneer, and immediately rushed towards Toas at a speed as fast as the wind.
Seeing that Luo Yin wanted to attack the king, the archers immediately shot a dense rain of arrows at Luo Yin, and soldiers holding spears also gathered around Thoas.
The next moment!
The Tauris people all widened their eyes in shock.
Because the rain of arrows missed Luo Yin, they collided with Luo Yin's body and fell to the ground.
"Goddess! Is this stranger really a god disguised as a human?"
Amid Thoa's exclamation, Luo Yin came to Thoa and wielded the divine spear to kill all the soldiers who blocked him.
All the living soldiers retreated in fear. After Thoas's horse was exposed in front of Luo Yin, Luo Yin pointed the blade of the divine spear at Thoas on the horse and said.
"King Tauris! I want to kill you, just like killing an ordinary soldier. I am not killing you now because I need you to provide me with a ship and sailors. Are you willing to accept my request? ? If you refuse, I will immediately turn you into a corpse lying on the ground."
"Foreigner as powerful as a god, I am willing to accept your request!"
Thoas hurriedly lowered his proud head and said with cold sweat on his forehead.
"We Tauris people fear gods! You must be a god disguised as a human, or be favored by a powerful god, so we will fear you like a god."
Seeing King Tauris surrender to Luo Yin, Yinphigenia walked to Luo Yin holding the statue of Artemis and said.
"Dear King Thoas! Although the goddess Artemis and I are eager to return to our hometown of Greece, we still thank you for taking care of us."
Thoas glanced at Yinphigenia with dissatisfaction, and then said to Luo Yin.
"Dear stranger, I can hold a banquet for you in my palace, or I can prepare ships and sailors for you now."
"I have no interest in being your guest. Now prepare ships and sailors for us!"
After saying that, Luo Yin took Yinphigenia and walked towards the port of Tauris Peninsula.
Port on the Taures Peninsula.
Loyin and Inphigenia boarded a ship with twenty sailors.
Under Luo Yin's order, the sailors shook the oars, and the ship quickly left the port and sailed into the sea.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew over and pushed the ship back to the port.
Seeing that the sailors couldn't resist the force of the strong wind even if they shook the oars with all their strength, Imphogenia hugged the statue of Artemis and prayed loudly.
"Noble goddess Artemis, I am your priestess. If you are like me and long to return to your hometown of Greece, please bless me and take you back!"
Luo Yin couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Yinphigenia praying to Artemis.
Artemis, who was constantly suppressed and belittled by Zeus in mainland Greece, could not come to the Tauris Peninsula to respond to Inphigenia's prayers.
So in the original destiny trajectory, when Orestes fled the Tauris Peninsula with the statues of Inphigenia and Artemis, the god who saved them was neither Artemis nor Apollo, but the gods. The only one who still has great authority is Pallas Athena.
really.
After Inphigenia prayed to Artemis, the strong wind did not let up at all.
Luo Yin turned around and looked at the Temple of Artemis on the Tauris Peninsula and said loudly.
"The goddess that the Tauris people really worship, are you hindering us? Although Artemis takes your place, you have no reason to resent me and Imphogenia. If you continue to hinder us, I will demolish your temple. Forcing the Tauris to worship other gods."
As soon as Luo Yin finished speaking, the strong wind stopped.
The next moment!
Thetis' figure flew out of the sea and landed in front of Luo Yin.
"Honey, I finally found you."
"Thetis——"
Looking at Thetis with a happy smile in front of her, Luo Yin said in surprise.
"Did you make the strong wind stop?"
After Thetis nodded, Luo Yin said with a wry smile.
"I thought it was the Tauris goddess who was afraid of my threat and made the wind stop."
At this time, Thetis' eyes noticed Imphogenia.
"This child..."
"You noticed! She was originally an ocean goddess like you."
"She was really belittled completely!"
"Because when the Mycenaeans expanded their hegemony, they failed to conquer the city-states that worshiped her, so they could only completely belittle the goddess worshiped by their enemies in mythology. If the Mycenaeans conquered the city-states that worshiped her like they conquered the Trojans, she would would become the wife or daughter of Zeus instead of being completely reduced to a human being.”
Although Inphigenia could not understand the conversation between Luo Yin and Thetis, she could recognize Thetis as a sea goddess.
Seeing Thetis observing her, Yinphigenia immediately bowed her head respectfully and said.
"Beautiful Ocean Goddess! I am Inphigenia, the priest of the goddess Artemis. Thank you for helping us."
"It turns out to be you!"
Thetis seemed to have thought of something. She glanced at Yinphigenia with a wary look as if she was seeing a love rival, then turned to Luo Yin and smiled.
"My dear, tell me what happened after we separated!"
