I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 155 Glaucus wears a hat
The pouring rain had completely soaked the clothes on Glaucus and the young woman. Glaucus dragged the young woman to the center of the hall, and suddenly pushed the young woman down.

If it weren't for the young woman's dodging action, perhaps the young woman would have fallen on the bonfire of roasting lamb.

After the young woman fell to the ground in embarrassment, Sisyphus stared at Glaucus angrily and asked.

"Glaucus, how can you treat your pregnant wife like this? If you hurt my unborn grandson, I, the father, will not let you go lightly."

"Father!"

Glaucus showed a distorted expression of anger, pointing with his right hand to the woman who fell on the ground, and complained loudly.

"This damned woman has betrayed me! While we were fighting with the Mycenaeans, this woman thought Corinth would be conquered by the Mycenaeans and wanted to elope with her lover. My followers found this out , catch this woman and her lover for me, just now I have killed the man who shamed me."

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

After recovering, Sisyphus frowned and said.

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

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

"Not only this woman!"

Sisyphus added.

"Before her family members know about it, you should quickly kill all three generations of her family, including her parents, brothers, nephews and nieces, so as not to leave any hidden dangers behind."

Hearing the cruel punishment from Glaucus and Sisyphus, the woman who was crying on the ground said hastily.

"Dear husband! I really didn't do anything to betray you. Even if you believe that I have been unfaithful to you, please forgive me as a child."

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

"Go away! You bloody woman."

Glaucus kicked his wife away with a look of disgust.

"The child in your unfaithful woman's womb, who knows if it belongs to you and your lover. How can I let your child become me—the heir to the throne of Corinth City. I would rather let a lowly maid become my new Let the child born by the maid be my heir, and will not accept your child."

After speaking, Glaucus took a burning stick from the campfire and began to beat his wife severely.

After the crying of Glaucus's wife resounded in the hall, Sisyphus said with a sigh.

"Glaucus, don't let this kind of thing affect the banquet I hold for guests, you take this unfaithful woman to another place to deal with!"

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 day and age, women are the private property of their husbands, who have the power to kill their unfaithful wives.

Even among civilians, betraying a husband can have serious consequences.

Among the royal family and nobles, it is not only women who are punished for betraying their husbands.

If Glaucus's wife had not betrayed her husband, when Glaucus succeeded to 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 will benefit greatly as in-laws of the royal family.

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

Sisyphus said helplessly.

"Perhaps Glaucus has too many women, making his wife unbearably lonely, which is why this happened."

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

After saying this, Harmonia looked at Roy and asked.

"Honey, what would you do if this happened to you?"

Roy said with a smile.

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

"Sure enough—you men have the same reaction."

Harmonia threw herself into Roy's arms and said.

"But I will not betray my husband, because I know that betraying my husband will destroy me and my children. Even if you can't be with me all the time, I can do other things."

In this era, a wife who betrayed her husband would be punished by death, and being faithful to her husband was regarded as a virtue, so it rarely happened that a wife betrayed her husband.

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

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

Unfaithful wives were punished cruelly.

Helen is probably the only unfaithful wife who can escape punishment for cheating on her husband.

But that was because Helen was the stronger party in the marriage between Helen and Menelaus.

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

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

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

It is precisely because Helen's daughter Hermione is the only heir to the Spartan throne, so Agamemnon's son will murder Achilles' son and marry Hermione to inherit the Spartan throne.

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

Roy hugged Harmonia tightly with both hands and said.

"Harmonia, the environment of this era is that the husband betrays the wife, and the wife is still 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 when women can hurt rivals in love."

"Honey, you said this era—is there an era when wives can betray their husbands?"

"If after 1000, 2000, or 3000 years, not only will the wife not be punished for betraying her husband, but she can also take half of the husband's property, and then go to find a new husband-in that era, the wife will betray her husband. become very common."

Seeing the skeptical expressions of both Harmonia and Sisyphus, Roy said with a smile.

"Since you don't believe me, then pretend I didn't say what I just said."

At this moment, two palace maids brought over a plate of grilled and chopped mutton.

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

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