Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 22 I have the courage to face Athena

In the world of Greek mythology, sons are far more important than daughters.

When a king has both a son and a daughter, his heir to the throne must be his son.

After Agamemnon's wife Clytemnestra and her cousin Aegisthus murdered Agamemnon, Aegisthus regarded Agamemnon's son Orestes as a potential threat. But he regarded Agamemnon's daughter as his own, and let Agamemnon's two daughters live with him in the palace.

It can be seen from this that this era despised daughters and did not even think that daughters would avenge their fathers like sons.

Aeolus, the god of wind, forced his daughter Anfisa to commit suicide without asking Anfisa about the identity of her secret husband, apparently to protect her son.

As long as Anfisa and the demon in her belly were dead, Aeolus's son's sin of becoming a demon could be hidden forever.

Anfisa's secret husband is not as cruel as her father Aeolus.

Why didn’t her secret husband stand up to protect his wife and children——

Hearing Luo Yin's words, Macarius, one of the six sons of Aeolus, suddenly ran to Anfisa and took the sword from her hand, and then knelt on the ground and begged to Aeolus.

"Father! I am Anfisa's husband. I am willing to be exiled by my father together with Anfisa. Please allow us to leave."

"My stupid son—"

Aeolus looked at Markaros with disappointment and said.

"Human-shaped demons are tabooed by the gods, so Anfisa must die. The human-shaped demon in her belly has not yet been born, so you can survive."

"That's not fair!"

Markarius protested to Aeolus.

"Father! King Oedipus of Thebes was also a humanoid demon who killed his father and married his mother, but he lived to be forty years old. Aegisthus, who now rules the Kingdom of Mycenae, was also born to his father and daughter A humanoid monster, he is alive and well and has become the most powerful king in Greece."

"You are hopelessly stupid."

Luo Yin sneered and mocked.

"Macarius! Oedipus became a demon in human form. It was the fate arranged by the gods for him, so Oedipus is innocent. No god of Olympus is willing to do anything to Oedipus. The bad luck of death. And Oedipus married Inecastus without knowing it. Did you also marry Anfisa without knowing it? Do you know that the king of Mycenae now? Aegisthus is also a demon in human form. Don't you know that after Aegisthus's life experience was exposed, his mother immediately committed suicide like Inocasta, and his father Thyestes was soon killed by Aga Memnon and Menelaus killed Aegisthus, who still has no children, which is proof that the gods do not want the bloodline of humanoid monsters to continue in this world.”

After listening to Luo Yin's words, Markaros was speechless and could no longer say anything to argue.

Aeolus came to Markaros, stretched out his right hand and patted his shoulder.

"My son! As a father who lets his daughter die, do you know how painful it is in my heart? But I must do this. Only Anfisa's death can prevent you from being cursed by the gods."

Then Aeolus angrily yelled at Anfisa.

"What are you waiting for, you humanoid monster?"

Anfisa looked at Markaros with sad eyes, and then suddenly threw her body onto the sword blade.

After the sharp blade penetrated Anfisa's body, Anfisa looked at Markaros with a sad smile and said.

"Brother Markaros... I'm not the one who fell... right!"

“Ahhhhh——”

Markaros hurriedly released the hilt of his sword and ran towards the outside of the palace as if madly.

The originally happy Fengshen family lost a daughter to death, a son to madness, and an unborn descendant of a humanoid demon in the blink of an eye.

Luo Yin looked at Aeolus with sympathetic eyes and said.

"Dear Wind God! If such an unfortunate thing happens to your family, I won't disturb you anymore."

Now Aeolus is no longer in the mood to treat Luo Yin as a guest.

Hearing Luo Yin say he wanted to leave, Aeolus nodded with a painful expression.

"Sons of Achilles! If you need food and water, ask for them from my sons."

After saying that, Aeolus turned his back to Luo Yin, and disappeared suddenly from the palace.

Luo Yin left the palace of the Fengshen family and soon came to the coast where the boat was parked. He boarded the boat and left the island of the Fengshen family.

The surging west wind pushed the boat slowly towards the mainland of Greece. When Luo Yin was preparing to row, Thetis climbed out of the sea and climbed onto the boat and said.

"Hasn't the hospitable wind god Aeolus entertained you? I have just asked other sea goddesses for news about Odysseus. As long as our ship keeps sailing day and night, we will soon catch up with Odysseus' ship. "

"Aeolus is not in a good mood to entertain me right now!"

Luo Yin showed a joking smile and told the story of Anfisa and Markaros.

After learning that the Fengshen family had given birth to a humanoid demon, Thetis couldn't help but say.

"Other humans have degenerated into humanoid monsters without knowing it, but the children of Aeolus -"

Thetis shook her head, then grabbed the hull of the ship with her left hand and released her divine power.

Driven by Thetis' divine power, Luo Yin's ship sailed toward the east like an arrow from a string.

With the west wind-propelled ship presented by the wind god Aeolus, Odysseus and his sailors lazily gave up rowing, waiting for the west wind to take them back to their hometown of Intake Island.

So just as Thetis said, Luo Yin's ship quickly caught up with Odysseus' ship.

When Luo Yin stood on the bow and could see Odysseus with his naked eyes, Odysseus also saw Luo Yin chasing after him.

After looking at Luo Yin across the distant sea, Odysseus said to his sailors in panic.

"Friends! You all know that Ajax died because of me, and you also know that I got the divine armor of Achilles. Last night I was warned by the gods in my dream that the son of Achilles regarded me as a murderer. The enemy of Ajax the Great is even more angry that I have obtained the divine armor of Achilles, so the son of Achilles wants to kill me. The god-like Neoptolemus will soon catch up with us. ship, I ask you to paddle with me and let our ship sail to the island of Shelia, ruled by the Phaeacians. The island of Shelia has a sacred grove dedicated to the goddess Pallas Athena. You can get the protection of the goddess there.”

As the king of Intac, Odysseus regarded the sailors as friends and made a request. Naturally, the sailors would not be stupid enough to disobey Odysseus.

After all, Odysseus, who rejected Odysseus' words and called them friends, would immediately chop off their heads as king.

Odysseus' ship turned around and sailed towards the island of Shelia, Thetis said with a solemn expression.

"It seems that Odysseus is going to Shelia Island to seek the protection of Athena! Let's stop chasing Odysseus and wait until he leaves Shelia Island to look for opportunities!"

"no!"

Luo Yin shook his head and refused.

"If I want to kill Odysseus, I will definitely face Athena, just like if I want to kill Orestes, I will definitely face Zeus. Thetis! Please send me to the island of Shelia, and then Return to your undersea palace and don’t let Athena find out that you are helping me. I will face Athena alone on Shelia Island.”
