I was a priest in the city-state era

The heavy rain had completely soaked the clothes of Glaucus and the young woman. Glaucus dragged the young woman to the center of the hall and suddenly pushed her down.

If the young woman had not dodged, she might have fallen on the bonfire where the lamb was roasted.

After the young woman fell to the ground in a mess, Sisyphus stared at Glaucus angrily and questioned.

"Glaucus, how can you treat your pregnant wife like this? If you hurt my unborn grandson, I, as a father, will not let you off easily."

"Father!"

Glaucus showed an angry and twisted expression, pointed at the woman lying on the ground with his right hand and accused loudly.

"This damned woman has betrayed me! When we were fighting the Mycenaeans, this woman thought that Corinth would be conquered by the Mycenaeans, so she wanted to elope with her lover. My followers discovered this and captured this woman and her lover for me. I have just killed the man who brought shame on me."

After listening to Glaucus' explanation, Sisyphus widened his eyes in shock, obviously unable to believe that such a shameful thing had happened to his family.

After coming to his senses, Sisyphus frowned and said.

"Glaucus, what are you going to do now?"

"I'm going to kill this damned woman!"

"Not only this woman!"

Sisyphus added.

"While her family doesn't know yet, you have to quickly kill all three generations of her family, including her parents, brothers, nephews and nieces, to avoid leaving some hidden dangers."

Hearing the cruel punishment imposed by Glaucus and Sisyphus, the woman who was originally crying on the ground said hurriedly.

"My dear husband! I really didn't betray you. Even if you think I was unfaithful to you, please forgive me for the sake of the child."

Glaucus' wife said as she crawled to Glaucus and hugged his knees.

"Get out! You damn woman."

Glaucus kicked his wife away with disgust.

"Who knows if the child in your unfaithful woman's belly is yours and your lover's. How can I let your child become me - the heir to the throne of Corinth. I would rather let a lowly maid become my new wife and let the child born by the maid become my heir, and I will not accept your child."

After saying that, Glaucus took a burning stick from the bonfire and began to beat his wife fiercely.

After the cries of Glaucus' wife began to resound in the hall, Sisyphus sighed and said.

"Glaucus, don't let this kind of thing affect the banquet I held for the guests. Take this unfaithful woman to another place for disposal!"

After Glaucus dragged his wife away, Harmonia couldn't help but say.

"There is such a stupid woman who betrays her husband. She is really stupid."

In this era, women are the private property of husbands, and husbands have the right to kill unfaithful wives.

Even among civilians, betraying husbands will have serious consequences.

Among the royal family and nobles, betraying husbands is not only the woman who will be punished.

If Glaucus's wife did not betray her husband, when Glaucus inherited the throne of Corinth, she would become the queen of Corinth, and the child she gave birth to would be the heir to the throne of Corinth.

Even her family would benefit greatly as a royal in-law.

Because Glaucus's wife betrayed her husband, she and her family suffered a catastrophe, and even her children were punished.

Sisyphus said helplessly.

"Maybe Glaucus has too many women, making his wife unbearable loneliness, so this happened."

"To pay this price for a moment of pleasure, she is not only a short-sighted woman, but also an irresponsible woman."

After saying this, Harmonia looked at Roy and asked.

"Dear, what would you do if you encountered such a thing?"

Roy said with a smile.

"I will kill the woman who betrayed me and her child, and then kill all the relatives of that woman within three generations, so that the whole family can be reunited in the underworld."

"Sure enough - you men react the same way."

Harmonia threw herself into Roy's arms and said.

"But I won't betray my husband, because I know that betraying my husband will destroy me and my child. Even if you can't stay with me all the time, I can do something else."

In this era, wives who betray their husbands will be punished by death, and being loyal to their husbands is considered a virtue, so it is rare for wives to betray their husbands.

In the myths and legends of another world, the most famous thing about the hero Admetus is that he has a loyal wife, which shows the admiration of loyalty in this era.

Even if wives represented by Hera are betrayed by their husbands, they will only hurt their rivals, not their unfaithful husbands.

Unfaithful wives will be cruelly punished.

The only unfaithful wife who betrayed her husband and was exempted from punishment is probably Helen.

But that's because Helen was the dominant party in her marriage with Menelaos.

Helen was the princess and queen of Sparta, and Menelaos became the king of Sparta because he married Helen.

There is very clear evidence that the throne of Sparta belongs to Helen.

That is, the one who inherited the throne of Sparta was not the son born by Menelaos and his lover, but Hermione, the daughter of Helen.

It was because Helen's daughter Hermione was the only heir to the throne of Sparta that Agamemnon's son wanted to murder Achilles' son and marry Hermione to inherit the throne of Sparta.

If Menelaos felt that the throne was more important, no matter how Helen betrayed him, he could only endure it as a son-in-law.

Roy said, hugging Harmonia tightly with both hands.

"Harmonia, the environment of this era is that even if the husband betrays his wife, the wife still has to be loyal, so I am not worried that a smart woman like you will do stupid things. What I am really worried about is that the girls around me will hurt each other. After all, this is an era where women can hurt their rivals."

"Dear, you said this era - is there an era where wives can betray their husbands?"

"If a thousand years later, two thousand years later, or three thousand years later, not only will there be no punishment for a wife who betrays her husband, but she can also take half of her husband's property and then find a new husband - in that era, it will be very common for a wife to betray her husband."

Seeing that Harmonia and Sisyphus both showed doubtful expressions, Roy smiled and said.

"Since you don't believe it, then just pretend that I didn't say that just now."

Just then, two palace maids brought a plate of roasted and chopped lamb.

Harmonia picked up the lamb and fed it to Roy and said.

"Dear! I can assure you that as a tolerant and generous wife, as long as other girls don't compete with me for your favor, I will definitely get along with my rivals in a friendly manner."
