I was a priest in the city-state era

After completing the agreement with Iobates to incorporate the Arzava region into the territory of the Athenian Empire, Roy did not take the Athenian fleet back to the city of Athens, but instead took the Athenian fleet to the Troy area in the northwest of the Asia Minor peninsula.

Before 3000 BC, the Pilaskis migrated from the Troy area across the Dardanelles to Greece.

So of course, there are also groups of people who worship the earth goddess living in the Troy area.

In Greek mythology from another world, the city of Troy was dedicated to the goddess Athena, and the Trojan princess Cassandra was also a priestess serving the goddess Athena.

Athena is the exclusive patron saint of the city of Athens.

The Trojans certainly had no reason to worship the patron saint of the city of Athens.

Therefore, the mythical prototype of the city of Troy worshiping the goddess Athena is that the city of Troy worshiped the same earth goddess as Athena.

Princess Cassandra of the Trojan royal family served as a priestess serving Athena, proving that the goddess of earth was the patron saint of the city of Troy.

After the destruction of Troy, the authority of Apollo, the patron saint of Mysia, surpassed that of the Earth Goddess of Troy. Therefore, in the fabricated myths, there was the illusion that Apollo became the patron saint of Troy.

In Greek mythology, the temple of Athena, the goddess of the earth, is located in the city of Troy, and the temple of Apollo is located in Mysia, which may be a hint to the real situation.

There is no temple of Apollo in Troy, so how could Apollo be the patron saint of Troy.

The current city of Troy is already the strongest city-state in the Troy region.

The king who ruled Troy was named Iros.

He is also the well-deserved overlord of the Troy region.

Tantalus migrated to the Troy area with the Mycenaeans who followed him, not only established the city of Sipylos, but also worshiped Zeus as the patron saint.

This foreign group that refused to assimilate with the local group aroused the dissatisfaction of the Trojan king Iros, so Iros led the Trojan army to destroy Tantalus and his followers. Tantalus's son Pelops was forced to go to Boro The Pennesian Peninsula went to his maternal grandfather, Acrisios, king of Mycenae.

The opposite of what Tantalus did.

Teucerus took the Mycenaeans who followed him and moved to Mysia south of Troy, where he defeated the Paleks who worshiped Smintheus Apollo and became the ruler of the Mysia region.

But Teucer did not continue to regard Zeus as his patron saint.

Teucerus dedicated his daughter to the Trojan king Iros, and also enshrined Smintheus Apollo, the patron saint of the Palak people, as the patron saint of Mysia, and successfully established himself on the land of Mysia.

Teucer did not choose to make the Trojan earth goddess the patron saint of the Mycenaeans, but chose to make Smytheus Apollo, the Palacian god of plague, the patron saint of the Mycenaeans - because The Mycenaeans and Paleks are both branches of the ancient Aryans. Smintheus Apollo, the god of plague, and Mana [Hades], the god of plague, may have the same origin.

The city of Troy, which worshiped the goddess of the earth, the city of Mysia, which worshiped Apollo, the god of plague, and the Palak people who worshiped Apollo, the god of plague——

These are the three major forces in the northwest of the Asia Minor Peninsula.

In order to incorporate the Troy area into the territory of the Athenian Empire, Roy led the fleet directly to the city of Troy.

1598 BC.

Mid July.

Roy's large fleet arrives on the coast of Troy.

In the Greek mythology of another world, thousands of warships and a hundred thousand troops of the Greek coalition were stationed here, and they fought a ten-year war with the city of Troy.

When Roy landed on the coast of Troy, he discovered that there was no room for thousands of warships, let alone a hundred thousand troops.

I'm afraid the people who made up the myth have never thought about how huge an army of 100,000 people is.

When the Hittite Empire and the Egyptian Empire fought the Kadesh War, the total number of soldiers on both sides was less than 50,000.

The population of the Greek region was not even half of that of the Hittite Empire and the Egyptian Empire at that time.

If the Greek region had a population of one million at that time, the Hittite Empire and the Egyptian Empire combined had a population of five million.

The Greek region used one-fifth of its population to recruit more than twice the army——

This is obviously impossible.

In the history of another world, the Greeks did conduct a war of conquest in the western part of the Asia Minor peninsula.

But the mythical Trojan War is completely a fabricated and exaggerated myth.

The arrival of the Athenian fleet alerted the city of Troy.

Before Roy's army could land, King Iros of Troy brought five thousand Trojan soldiers to the coast of Troy to confront Roy's army.

In order to avoid a war between the two sides, Roy personally walked in front of the Trojan army and negotiated with the Trojan King Iros.

Iros stood on a gleaming bronze chariot drawn by two horses, and his charioteer was a relative of his.

Arriving in front of Iros's chariot, Roy directly revealed his identity.

"Dear King Troy! I am Roy, the emperor of the Athenian Empire. Do you want a war to break out between the Trojans and the Athenians? Both the Trojans and the Athenians are people who worship the goddess of the earth, which proves that the Trojans and the Athenians were in ancient times. We have the same ancestors, please don’t do this kind of thing to kill each other.”

Iros is a middle-aged man about forty years old.

Hearing Roy's words, Iros immediately laughed.

"Young man, are you here to make fun of me? In order to compete for interests, brothers can kill each other, not to mention that the Trojans and Athenians only have the same ancestors in ancient times thousands of years ago. But I really don't want to start a war with you, because the strength of the Athenian Empire is well known, and it is difficult for Troy to defeat the Athenian Empire. You need to tell me now why you want to lead the army to land on the coast of Troy. As long as you can give me a legitimate reason, I will immediately lead the soldiers back to Troy."

"I am here to conquer the Troy region and incorporate the Troy region into the territory of the Athenian Empire-this is my reason."

After listening to Roy's reasons, Ilos was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha-this is the legitimate reason for you to lead the Athenian army to land on the coast of Troy? Should I say you are funny, or should I say you are arrogant? Seeing that you have established a hegemony far beyond mine, I now invite you to visit my palace. Do you dare to accept my invitation?"

"Why not!"

Roy said with a smile.

"As long as we can avoid war, I am happy to prove my sincerity to you."

Hearing Roy's answer, Ilos moved from the chariot to the driver's position, took the reins from the driver, and personally drove his chariot to Roy and said.

"Young man! With your status, you are worthy of me to be your driver. Now I invite you to take my carriage to my palace."

"Then I will follow the host's arrangement as a guest."

After saying that, Roy boarded Ilos' chariot without hesitation.

Ilos turned the chariot around and rushed towards Troy. The chariot soon passed the bank of the Scamander River and drove into the huge city of Troy with a population of more than 50,000.
