Bouquet of Narcissus

"Dear Narcissus, at last you are willing to see me,

You don't know how much I miss you

I've wandered through hell's entrance many times, wanting to touch your face

But you turn a blind eye to me

You know how painful my heart is

Tiredness and melancholy dye my hair

Only with Aphrodite's help can I find some comfort

Because of your participation, I also joined Troy's camp

I send plagues upon the Hellenic League with countless punishments,

They are so arrogant and godless, they despise my majesty and rob my priests

Although Father God’s attitude is not clear, I will never shrink back. For you and me, I will support to the end

My Narcissus, what orders do you have now, as long as I can do it, I will be desperate. "

Narcissus smiled at him. In fact, they have met many times, but Apollo recently fell in love with a singer from the Moon Palace, so Narcissus did not bother him for the time being.

Now he said: "I hope you will catch Athena next time on the battlefield and prevent her from making a move."

Apollo smiled brightly, and immediately agreed, "No problem." Then he invited Narcissus to take a walk in the garden, but when he saw a blond boy approaching, his expression changed.Narcissus laughed, "I still have something to do, I have to go first. I wish you a happy life."

Apollo couldn't stop him, he could only watch him leave, feeling very sorry, but he turned around and said to the beautiful boy who was approaching: "Honey, why are you free to come to me."

Narcissus shook his head, it has changed so much in 20 years, I don't know if he still remembers the girl from Genabo back then.God has eternal life, but human beings have such a short moment.Thinking of this, he went to Troy again, stood in front of Velia's tombstone, and meditated for a moment.At such a moment, old friends are old and even passed away, but he is still like this, with inexplicable emotions spreading in his heart.

"You are still so young and beautiful, but I am already old." A female voice sounded from behind.

Narcissus turned his head, and there was an elderly beauty with a complicated expression, "I think you have forgotten the hatred between us, and now I may not be worthy of your memory, God has a person who is more beloved than ordinary people. Time and love.

I didn't kill you back then, now you and I are far behind.

My mother has already gone to Hades, wandering there, I don't know if you have seen her, have you ever felt guilty

You killed my mother, my father Laomedon broke his promise and married a new queen

The new queen was favored, but I was rejected, so when my father offended the god again, he tied me to a cliff and dedicated it to Poseidon, the god of the sea

How helpless I was at that time, wishing I could die immediately, but I was saved

I thought this was my salvation, but once again I'm abandoned

For offending God and many heroes.

In the tenth year of your death Troy was captured, and that time I lost my dear brother and my father who made amends

He left me, I've got nothing left, I've been sent captive, up and down, homeless

I was angry, I was helpless, I regretted, I missed, I was furious, and finally I was numb, I resigned to my fate, I thought this was my destination, raising my son beside an old man

Unfortunately, the gods fooled me again, and my son died in the trenches of the Greeks.

They stabbed his body to pieces with spears, his head disappeared

My son, my lovely and brave son, I have not seen him for the last time and I cannot find his whole body

Bury him beside my husband - he died in the first year of the war.

Got hit in the back of the head with a rock and left me after a few days of pain

Now I have nothing to lose.I can put aside our past grievances

For my hometown and land, for my relatives and lovers, I beg you once

My dear brother——I loved you so much at the beginning, your beauty, your pride, and your self-satisfaction.

It's a pity that you are too arrogant, ignoring my flattery and trampling on my enthusiasm——

Don't be cold-hearted to me, my two elder brothers are dedicated to you, and built a monument for you after your death, and often go to mourn

And you already know the truth about the fire that night 20 years ago:

It wasn't my doing, it was you who caused Vilia's death - you offended Clottey rudely, they hate you so much

And my brother Willia became the scapegoat

Although you avenged him after resurrection, so what, he is still living in the underworld mourning and miserable

Well, I won't babble any more.

Now, I, Hesione, niece of Laomedon, princess of Troy, an ordinary mother, your former enemy,

Solemnly beseech you, take me into the camp of the Greek allied forces.

Use your identity and divine power to open the gate of the camp and throw me into the camp of female slaves

I will take revenge with my blood and my wits and every last ounce of passion - the hatred of those who killed my son motivates me

I swear on my life and on my last dignity - child, mother will avenge you! "

Hesione said with a strong tone at the end. Although she was already in tears, the hatred in her eyes never dissipated. She knelt down on the ground, "My child, I miss you!"

Narcissus sighed, remembering many past events in an instant, but now he was moved by Hesione's motherly heart, and asked, "Have you made up your mind? Priam knew about it." ?"

Hesione stood up, "It doesn't matter if I know or not, I've made up my mind. If you don't agree, I will go too. Left and right are just death, what difference does it make?"

Narcissus stopped talking and paused for a long time, "Since you are ready, let's go." He helped Hesione into the camp of the Greek coalition army by stealth, and put her into the captive female slaves .

The female slaves are already asleep, this is the spoils of the Greek coalition forces.The Greek allied forces fought against Troy for nine years. The city of Troy was extremely strong, but the surrounding city-states did not have such strong walls. Therefore, small city-states such as Clottey were defeated, and their people were also captured.

Hesione showed an almost ethereal smile, "Nacissus, please continue to protect Troy in the future. Goodbye." She immediately shrank back in the corner without saying a word.

Narcissus wanted to ask her what her plans were, and she immediately lay there with her eyes closed.Narcissus could only leave in the end.

Aphrodite came to him the next day and told him that Thetis, the sea goddess, went to Zeus, and Hera made a big fuss.

Hera thinks that Thetis' request to increase the honor of Achilles is consistent with her support for the Greek camp, but she is not happy. Zeus was neutral before, but now he easily changed the camp. Now he threatens to give up supporting the Greeks and support Troy instead, and must let Achilles die on the battlefield.

"In fact, Thetis' request is that her son Achilles can stay away from the war and return to his hometown. Because the goddess of fate once predicted that if Achilles won the honor, he would lose his life. For a mother What is more important than the life of her son. She has been persuading Achilles to return to the voyage, and even refused to allow him to fight at the beginning of the war, but she couldn't hold back Peleus. Now the Greek camp is unstable, Achilles Si is angry and doesn't stand up, which is exactly what she wants."

"Then tell the Greeks where Helen is. Helen has been taken away by Poseidon. Now that they have received enough benefits from the surrounding city-states, they can return with a full load. Persuade them to return and sign a peace treaty."

Aphrodite did so, and Narcissus went to the city of Troy. The morale of the city was low, and Priam frowned. The queen and the women in the city were busy with sacrifices and weaving.

And Paris has been chasing Helen's whereabouts, but he is nowhere to be found.

Narcissus briefly stated the situation, and Priam became excited, "God, Hesione is dead." He paced, "I'm going to redeem her!"

Narcissus did not move, Priam went at once, but by evening he prepared the jewels.The sudden worsening of the eldest prince Hector's injury stopped him in his tracks.The poor old father sat all night by the elder son's bed, dazed and dazed.

At this time, his only sister was being burned by the fire.

The pyrotechnics of the tall flames flowed upstream and followed the wind to Troy.

Hesione was found poisoned and burned at the stake by the coalition forces.

In the evening, when the female slaves were taken out to serve the soldiers for dinner, she sneaked to the water source in the kitchen while the soldier she was serving was asleep while she was sleeping, and poured the poisonous snake powder when she was not prepared.This powder is a poison/medicine unique to the Troy palace.

The water source was polluted, and breakfast in the early morning of the second day became a nightmare for the Greek coalition forces.

Many people were poisoned/died.And she was found out immediately, and she was stoned by the angry Greek coalition forces, and then set on fire.

She was very happy: "That giant python almost killed my father, King Laomedon. We peeled off the snake skin of the giant python, crushed it into powder, and kept it in the palace. Haha, now these powders have become Do you have unbearable abdominal pain after eating Chinese food? Just wait, maybe two days, maybe five days, you all have to go to Hades to report.

At that time, you will regret that you have traveled thousands of miles to plunder us, but you will regret that you gave back my son's body despite my begging.Go to hell!Let's die together! "She was very crazy, laughing like a hound in the underworld, but soon the fire covered her, and she was silent.

Agamemnon kicked down the pile of firewood angrily, the water source was polluted, and the soldiers were poisoned/killed.The most important thing now is medicinal materials, and the Greek coalition forces were turned on their backs for a while.

The Greek coalition forces were hit hard.The surviving soldiers demanded to return home.

Agamemnon and Odysseus had to hold an assembly of citizens.

Open poll to choose stand or go back?

The main battle faction and the main peace faction take turns to give speeches, appeal their views, and vote one by one.

Finally, Achilles also came. Although he was the main fighter, he demanded that Agamemnon step down.Because all these encounters were caused by his poor leadership.At the meeting, he accused Agamemnon of being arrogant, greedy and cowardly, and rejoicing, "This man will eventually lead us to death, and decline is inevitable. Think about it! What he did, nine years, we Still wandering outside the city, Helen and the gold and silver wealth did not get anything. However, any of you got the spoils from the surrounding city-states. They were all scraped off by him, and now go to his tent to have a look. Bronze, pearls, gemstones from the earth, and more than a dozen beautiful female slaves. And what do we have? What do we have!" He howled angrily, glared at everyone present, and questioned.

These words of Achilles seriously shook the morale of the army.

Some neutral factions turned their backs one after another, "Let's go back!"

"Return!"

"Step down!"

Agamemnon's good helper Odysseus was fascinated by Aphrodite, and his brother Menelaus, King of Sparta, also went to pursue Helen, but he was not there at the moment, and no one was there to help him.

"Great Zeus! Please have mercy on me!" He roared angrily, "You traitors are trying to seize my power and wealth. These are honors I earned myself. Don't you get them? But I have a little more. But as the commander-in-chief of the whole army, I make a battle plan every time, rushing to the front, what's wrong with getting the most!"

Achilles didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he immediately fought with him and knocked Agamemnon's scepter away.

At this moment, the Greek coalition forces were in chaos.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Apollo turned into Odysseus according to Narcissus' request, and appeared on the rostrum. With a roar mixed with divine power, Apollo calmed down the panicked Greeks.

He started his speech, starting from the first year in Troy, and talked about the hardships and hardships of the war, and the Greek coalition forces suffered heavy casualties; now it has been nine years, and the parents and relatives in the hometown may have almost forgotten their children.And whether their wives and children are still waiting for their return, or have they found happiness elsewhere and thrown themselves into the arms of others: their children have grown up long ago, and whether they still remember their faces.

In the end he said excitedly: "Let's go back as soon as possible, with a beautiful wife, a child in my arms, and parents by my side, enjoying the family happiness.

Let's go back, the city wall of Troy was built by God, how can it be broken?

How beautiful our homeland is, the people in our hometown are waiting for us.

Waiting for us to return, Poseidon has already chosen the wind direction for us

As long as you bring the spoils and board the big ship, you will be on your way.

We've got plenty of loot around the perimeter, enough is enough, let's sail back home with those! "

His speech aroused homesickness among the soldiers.

They shouted: "Go back! Let's go home! My love is waiting for me!"

Some returned to the camp and began to pack their bags.

Agamemnon gasped, but couldn't stop it.

The soldiers rushed to the warship like a tide to find a good position to return home freely.
