Chapter 224 I Became Meleager

The name Greece is the umlaut of the name of the Dorian ancestor god Heron.

After the Dorians in Thessaly invaded the Peloponnese and gained hegemony, the Dorians’ ancestor god Heron became the ancestor of all Greeks, including the Dorians’ sacred mountain Olympus. , also became the residence of the gods in mythology.

But before the Dorians gained hegemony, wealthy Mount Helicon was the true holy mountain.

At the foot of Mount Helicon.

After Luo Yin woke up, he opened his eyes and saw Antigone's delicate and lovely little face appearing in his sight, looking at him with curious eyes.

What Luo Yin found hard to accept was that Antigone no longer looked like an over-mature beautiful girl, but a little girl under ten years old.

Luo Yin wanted to marry Antigone. In addition to Antigone's good personality and Luo Yin's favorite sister character, the most important reason was that Antigone's figure was overly mature, as if Antigone All the nutrients from Insmene developed into Antigone.

"Antigone..."

Luo Yin felt a little broken and raised his left hand, touched Antigone's little face and said.

"Why did you suddenly become like this?"

Antigone did not answer, turned back and said.

"Father, he has woken up."

Luo Yin followed Antigone's gaze and looked behind her, and saw Oedipus, who was about thirty years old, sitting on a stone behind her.

Moreover, Oedipus's blind eye has an injury that will not heal long.

"I traveled to ten years ago again?"

Only then did Luo Yin remember that he had died in the siege of Athena, Persephone, and Hera ten years later.

After checking his body to make sure that his body was intact, Luo Yin stood up and looked at his surroundings.

At this moment, Oedipus suddenly shouted to Luo Yin.

"Prince Meleager!"

There were only Luo Yin, Antigone and Oedipus at the foot of the mountain. Luo Yin looked at Oedipus in surprise and said.

"Oedipus! Are you calling my name?"

"Meleagoros, Prince of Calydon, who wants to go to the city of Iolcus to participate in the Golden Fleece Tour, is this not your identity? Did you deceive our father and daughter when we introduced our identities to each other yesterday?"

"I became Meleager..."

Knowing his current identity, Luo Yin couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Because Antigone and Insmene are no longer their cousins.

"I am going to participate in the Golden Fleece Tour, so you father and daughter...are you wandering?"

Seeing Oedipus nodding, even though he knew that Oedipus was wandering with Antigone, the real prototype of the story was not that his sin of killing his father and marrying his mother was revealed, but that he lost to Creon in the struggle for kingship. , Luo Yin still couldn't help but say.

"Oedipus, you have been the king of Thebes for more than ten years. Have you always been Creon's puppet? As far as I know, you don't want to wander. Why can't you fight against Creon?"

Oedipus said with a helpless smile.

"Although I am an orthodox descendant of Cadmus, the city of Thebes has always had a tradition of having its royal power taken away by relatives. After the death of the ancestor Cadmus, his grandson Pentheus took away the throne that was supposed to be owned by him. The throne was succeeded by the son of Cadmus. Before my father Laionus came to the throne, the city of Thebes was ruled by my cousins ​​Amphion and Niobe for another twenty years. Before the throne, it was Creon who ascended the throne first. Although the throne taken away by the maternal relatives will eventually return to the hands of our descendants of Cadmus, the kingship held by the descendants of Cadmus is indeed very fragile. "

All right!

It is indeed an ancient tradition for the descendants of Cadmus to have their royal power taken away by their relatives. No wonder Creon was able to expel Oedipus.

Thinking that Antigone and Oedipus would wander and suffer for ten years, Luo Yin picked up the shield with the wild boar engraved beside him, brought it to Oedipus and said.

"King Oedipus! Although I don't care about your life or death, I don't want you to wander around with Antigone. Now I give you my shield as a token, and you take my shield and go to Ka Kingdom of Lydon, let King Oeneus of Calydon take you in. When I return to Calydon City after my journey to the Golden Fleece, I will personally take care of you and Antigone.”

"Why... what is your reason for taking care of our father and daughter? I am the biggest sinner for killing my father and marrying my mother, and if you have a relationship with our father and daughter, you will also offend Creon, the current king of Thebes..."

"I want to raise Antigone and make her my wife - can you believe this reason? Even if Creon is now the king of Thebes, the husband of his eldest daughter Megara is from this era. Even the mightiest young hero Hercules, I will not take them into consideration. If you do not want Antigone to suffer the misery of wandering with you, accept my arrangement and go to the city of Calydon."

After hearing what Luo Yin said, Oedipus couldn't help but laugh.

"Meleager, Antigone already has a fiancé, and her fiancé is Creon's son Haemon. And I don't believe that you will wait ten years before getting married for Antigone. Although I don't think so. There is no reason for you to take care of me and Antigone, but I really don’t want Antigone to suffer with me, so I will consider your proposal and go to Calydon City.”

After Luo Yin suppressed the reluctance in her heart and separated from Antigone and Oedipus, Luo Yin continued on her way to the city of Iolkas, while Antigone and Oedipus headed west to the Calydon region.

Three days later.

Luo Yin once again came to Iolcas, the most powerful city-state in Thessaly.

The king of Iolcas at this time was not the young Acastus, but Acastus' father Pelias.

The founder of Iolcas was Cretheus, the son of Aeolus, the god of wind.

After Cretheus died, he handed the throne to his eldest son Aeson.

Pelias was also the son of Cretheus and the younger brother of Aeson.

Ten years ago, in order to seize the throne of Iolcas, Pelias teamed up with his twin brother Neleus to kill his brother Aeson.

In Aeson's son Yin Aeson went to Mount Pelion to seek refuge from Chiron, the leader of the Lapiths, in order to escape the pursuit.

Now, ten years later, Yin Aeson, who is already 20 years old, decided to ask his uncle Pelias for the throne, and returned to Iolcas alone.

Because Yin Asong posed no threat to the throne, Pelias did not kill Yin Asong, but he gave Yin Asong a difficult task, which was the beginning of the Golden Fleece Journey.

[To be honest, I have been using Reading Books to keep up with the latest updates, switching sources, and reading in many voices. It is available for Android and Apple. ]

According to Pelias's request, Yin Asong must go to Colchis, the golden land on the east coast of the Black Sea, and bring back the Golden Fleece, a symbol of wealth.

Yin Asong also knew that this was a task that he could not accomplish with his own strength, so Yin Asong summoned heroes from all over Greece, hoping to complete this task with the help of the heroes' strength.

The story of gold everywhere in Colchis had long been circulated throughout Greece, so after hearing the news of the Golden Fleece Journey, the heroes from the royal family came to Iolcas.
