[Greek Mythology] Dangxiu Tai traveled through ancient Greece

Before Antigone expressed her belief in the strange young god recommended by the God of Vitality, a group of villagers rushed out of the village and surrounded them.

"leave here!"

"No one is allowed to stay here!"

"You are desecrating this sacred sanctuary!"

The villagers who promised Oedipus to inform the king before went to the city and told the old people in the village about Oedipus.Now they gather together to expel Oedipus, fearing that Furies will punish them.

Oedipus stood up silently.

However, before he could raise his footsteps, he heard a rush of hoofbeats.

"Father, here comes my little sister Ismene!"

Oedipus' youngest daughter had come to tell him a new news about Thebes.

Shortly after Oedipus left Thebes, his two sons, Polynices and Eteocles, had a dispute over the throne, and Polynices was expelled by his younger brother.

After that, Polynicus wandered to Argos, married the daughter of the king there, and assembled seven heroes and troops, intending to go back to attack Thebes and regain the throne.

However, a new oracle came out at this time. The oracle stated that if one of the two sons of Oedipus can find his father and get his support, whoever can get the throne as he wishes.

And Creon, who supports Oedipus' youngest son, is on his way, intending to use all means to bring Oedipus back.

Oedipus is very angry because it was his brother-in-law and uncle who drove him out with their two sons.

He turned to the two gods and prayed: "Supreme gods, if you really can bring me peace and liberation as you said, please take me away. I don't want to stay here anymore, waiting to see any A shameless and cruel person, whether it is my brother-in-law or my son."

Following his words, the surrounding villagers noticed the young man and teenager next to him.

The stunningly beautiful two seemed to be there all the time, but no one noticed their presence until Oedipus spoke.

The villagers were surprised that these two must be the gods that Oedipus was talking about. They feared that the gods would be angry with them because Oedipus had defiled the sacred forest, so they prayed for forgiveness from the gods.

"Quiet." Narcissus didn't like noise, and said with a blank expression: "This place is just an ordinary forest, and no god will punish you for it."

Yes, this is just an ordinary forest, a place arranged by Erinyes early in order to attract Oedipus.

The reason why they chose to stay outside the city of Athens was probably because they knew that they were about to rebel against Hades, and worried that Hades would retaliate against them for kidnapping the god of disease in the future, so they chose the city protected by Athena, who was at odds with the Queen of Hades.

But since Olympus lost in Thebes, Athena was deprived of two godheads by Hades, and now she has been staying in the temple of Mount Olympus, unwilling to go out to face those contemptuous and mocking eyes, let alone Mind minding other people's business.

Flores was digesting the news from Ismene, and the development of this matter was becoming more and more unpredictable.

Obviously, the gods of Mount Olympus didn't really feel pity for Oedipus when they issued such an oracle, but they probably wanted to confuse the water and make the game more exciting.

Facing Oedipus' request, Narcissus nodded, "Come with me."

Oedipus hesitated at this time, "Please give me a little more time. I want to see the great King Theseus of Athens and ask him to protect my daughters. I don't believe their cruel uncle." After I leave, my brother and I will treat them kindly from the bottom of our hearts.”

Narcissus did not object, "Yes."

Even though this is the territory of the Erinyes, Narcissus doesn't think that he will be no match for them now.Taking Oedipus away was only for the safety of the old man, but if he really bumped into them and Flores took care of Oedipus, he could also release his hands to deal with them.

Soon, Theseus, King of Athens, who was rumored to have defeated the labyrinth monster Minotaurus, came.

Unlike others, this great king saw Flores and Narcissus at first sight, and was amazed by the beauty of the boy in red.

"You must be a kind and gentle god of vitality." Theseus stepped forward and looked at the boy who was still a head shorter than himself, "Your arrival is the greatest glory of Athens, and your incomparable beauty is beyond recognition. Athens has also come back to life."

"Theseus, I've heard of you, the greatest king of Athens." Flores took a step back calmly, out of the state of needing to look up at the other party.

There is also a temple of the God of Vitality in Athens. Even because he helped Kostos, who was greened by Apollo, he has many believers in Athens, so Flores is not surprised that Theseus can recognize him. Own.

A long time has passed since the time of Kostos, and Athens has changed many kings, but the most famous one is this Theseus.

Legend has it that he is the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea, but Flores didn't feel the breath of a demigod from him, he was just an ordinary human being.

The most celebrated deed of Theseus is defeating the Cretan monster Minotaur and abducting the daughter of King Minos.

Although the princess was snatched away by Glaucus who had pursued and indirectly caused Scylla's tragic experience on the way back, in Flores' view, this Theseus, as a complete mortal, could To make these great deeds that are not inferior to demigod heroes can be regarded as the best among human beings.

"It's really a great honor for me." Theseus looked at him flattered, never leaving his eyes for a moment from the face of this young god known for his beauty.

It is rumored that in the past, King Pelops of Elis once built a beautiful statue for the God of Vitality, and countless people fell in love with it.Although this statue suddenly disappeared one day, it became a pity for many people.

But Theseus believed that even that statue must not be as beautiful as one hundred thousandth of the true vitality god.

Pluto, who had hidden his figure, didn't like the way this human being looked at his partner. His eyes darkened, and he secretly used a divine power.

So when Theseus went to see the God of Vitality again, he found that the face of the other party was covered by a layer of mist, so that no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer see the slightest bit clearly.

He thought it was the gods punishing his disrespectful thoughts, so he restrained himself and didn't dare to think about anything else.

Flores didn't know what was going on behind Hades' back, and looked at Oedipus, "Oedipus, Theseus you've been waiting for has come, tell him your request, I believe this The merciful and just king will grant your request."

He made no secret of his affection for the hero king.

After all, in this world where gods walk everywhere and demigods are as numerous as dogs, it is as rare to have an outstanding human hero appear as a fat pig growing out of a barren vegetable field.

So, for the meat pig, ah no, it was Theseus, Flores admired it very much.

Of course, what he never imagined at this moment was that he would be extremely annoyed by the little appreciation he gave to Theseus in the future.

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Oedipus immediately asked Theseus to take in and protect his two daughters, but at the back, Flores felt a pain at the tip of his ear, as if he had been bitten by something.

Worse, I forgot that the big vinegar factory was still watching.

He wiped away the tears in his heart, but stretched his hand back, touched a big hand with well-defined joints, and tightened it tightly to comfort him.

The hand quickly held him back, interlocking his fingers, and the fingers were tightly entwined and inseparable.

Theseus quickly agreed to Oedipus' request.

Originally, the king was very sympathetic to what happened to Oedipus.

Because in a way, they are very similar.

Although Theseus was the son of the previous King of Athens, Aegeus, he grew up in the country of his grandfather Pitheus, and he did not know his own life experience until he was an adult.

Oedipus was abandoned by his parents when he was born, picked up by a shepherd, and then raised by the king and his wife of Corinth.

Theseus defeated the Cretan monster Minotaurus, became a hero to save Athens and became the king of Athens. Everyone in Athens was proud of having such a hero king.

Oedipus defeated the monster Sphinx entrenched outside the city of Thebes, became the hero to save Thebes and became the king of Thebes. Because of his good governance, he was deeply loved by his subjects.

Theseus killed his father by mistake.When he killed Minotaur and returned, he forgot to change the black sails on the ship to white sails because he was sad to give up Ariadne, so his father mistakenly thought that his son was dead, and threw himself into the sea in despair.

Oedipus also killed his own father by mistake.

Because of these similar experiences, Theseus admired Oedipus very much, even if there was no God of vitality, he would shelter the former hero.

With Theseus agreeing to protect his two daughters, Oedipus had no worries, and left behind the two gods under the tears of reluctance and sorrow of the two daughters.

Narcissus wanted to take Oedipus to a hidden location, where he could absorb the resentment from his soul.

He is different from the unscrupulous Erinyes. From the moment he got the scale of punishment, he made clear the path he wanted to take.

There are always many injustices in this world, and there may be some that he doesn't have enough strength to deal with yet.But as long as he can do it, he will definitely do it.

Oedipus is guilty, but he believes that the other party has already received his own punishment.

As long as the crime of Oedipus is equal to the punishment on the balance, or even the punishment is heavier than the crime, then he can lift the doom and curse in the opponent's soul and make this soul truly rest in peace.

Flores called out his divine chariot, and before the two gods stepped on it, three figures appeared in the dark forest ahead.

These three figures are all images of women, but they are women of different age groups, a young woman, a middle-aged woman, and an old woman with white hair and a face full of dimples.

The same thing is that they all have frightening snake hair dancing wildly, and black bat wings behind them, which describe them as ferocious.

Narcissus sneered and took a step forward, "After following for so long, I finally showed up."

Flores tacitly stood in front of Oedipus.

They had already discovered Erinyes' tailing, but they didn't know what the other party was worried about, so they never made a move.

Flores originally wanted to send Oedipus to a safe place with Narcissus before freeing up to deal with them, but they suddenly appeared again.

In Erinyes, the old woman Mejira casts a scruples glance at Flores.

Even though they had made sure that the other party was not accompanied by a ruthless Queen of the Underworld, they had already offended the Hades by kidnapping the God of Plague before, and now they dared not provoke the Queen of the Underworld's hatred again.

So Mo Jila stuck out his tongue like a snake letter, and said in a hoarse voice: "God of vitality, this is a matter between us and this despicable blasphemer, it has nothing to do with you, you can leave here."

Flores smiled slightly, and her bright smile brought a sense of brilliance and freshness in the thick night, "But I don't want to leave."

His eyes turned cold, "I want to see with my own eyes, what a miserable end you will have."

Narcissus' pain, Emerod's grievance, and Hades who was bitten by these three poisonous snakes, this time, everything in the past must be recovered.

The author has something to say: Even though Dionysus was detained by Hades, Theseus still failed to marry Ariadne.

Legend has it that Glaucus and Dionysus met the princess together, but Dionysus triumphed.

Now there is no Dionysus, so Glaucus takes the princess.Glaucus, who appeared in the previous article, pursued the man who caused Scylla to cause her tragedy.
