The Argonauts failed and returned. This news caused an uproar throughout Greece.

Everyone couldn't believe that so many of Greece's top heroes set out together, but only a dozen of them returned, and the rest of the heroes all died overseas.

Is overseas so dangerous?

Is Colchis that stumped so terrible? So many heroes died without bringing back the Golden Fleece?

For a time, the whole of Greece was shocked by the news of Colchis.

Only the mages think this is quite normal: since they can teach so many mages, there is nothing wrong with these heroes being unable to do anything to them.

The only person who was pleased with this was Pelias, king of Thessaly.

If Jason succeeded in bringing back the Golden Fleece, then he would have to think hard about how to refuse to hand over the throne. After all, behind this was an oracle sent by the gods.

But now, he no longer needs to worry about the throne being taken away.

For the Argonauts, the first thing they have to deal with is not a loss of reputation, but the revenge of the gods.

Although at sea, protected by the mages and the Argonauts, the gods may not be able to do anything to them, but it will be different after returning to Greece.

If there are no accidents, they who are targeted by the gods will live a life like the protagonists of"Death is coming" in the future, struggling to cope with endless fatal accidents.

At this moment, something surprising happened to them.

The goddess Athena finally took action.

She declared with great fanfare that the Argonauts were under her protection.

Such a declaration can put an end to the other gods' thoughts of murdering them - otherwise they will fall out with Athena.

The Argonauts are not very important to the gods and must be killed. The gods want them dead just to vent their anger.

However, Athena's decision also meant something else.

That is, the conflict of ideas between her and the Olympus gods has been brought to the surface.

Of course, this does not mean a complete break.

Athena still lives on Mount Olympus.

The conflict that broke out only severed her superficial contacts with the other gods.

And what about the Argonauts?

With the end of the expedition, they also disbanded and went to their own destinations.

The ship that was originally going to be sacrificed to Seidon after the expedition was of course sacrificed to Athena. After all, it was Athena who protected them in the end.

Athena was quite supportive of this. After all, she once again made her old rival Poseidon lose face.

After the expedition, Jason not only failed to seize the throne, but also sadly discovered that his father Aeson had been persecuted by Pelias before and committed suicide by drinking poisonous cow blood. Jason's mother also hanged herself. , and the remaining baby boy was eventually killed by Pelias.

The fate of his parents and younger brother angered Jason, and before everyone left, he asked the Argonauts to avenge him.

Pelias was naturally no match for the Argonauts when he was unprepared. On a dark and windy night, he was killed in the palace. After that, the murderers who caused all this left one after another. Thessaly.

Jason himself also left this sad place and wandered all the way to Corinth.

There, King Creon accepted him. Jason's gorgeous appearance and good words played a big role here. Creon believed that Jason was indeed a tragic hero, and he happened to have no heir of his own. , so he betrothed his daughter Grouke to him.

Although Jason did not gain Medea's favor and receive the Golden Fleece as in the myth, his subsequent fate was much better.

Jason, who was determined to become the king of one side, also had a tragic wish to benefit one side, but in the myth he actually betrayed too many people for this wish.

When facing the same fate, the mythical Jason was still tied to Medea, so he ungratefully accepted the engagement and divorced Medea.

Medea retaliates by giving the bride a poisoned robe as a wedding gift. Grouch was burned to death by the fierce flames after putting it on, and her father also died trying to save his daughter. Medea even killed her two sons and fled to Athens in a chariot pulled by a dragon.

Jason lost the protection of the goddess Hera because he broke his promise. Once, he fell asleep on the stern of the Argonauts, and the rotting ship fell down and crushed him to death, finally incurring fate's reward.

But now, Jason can be regarded as benevolent and benevolent.

He did not betray anyone, became Creon's son-in-law, and in the future became the king of Corinth. He was finally able to fulfill his dream, benefit one side with his own strength, and prove his talents.

Under his leadership, Corinth became rich and powerful, surpassing his homeland Thessaly and becoming the leading powerful country nearby, which proved that Jason was indeed a good leader - in fact, this point can be seen from the fact that Jason can make When everyone on the Argo unites together, we can get the first clues.

In fact, from this aspect, he is not a particularly bad person.

In the process, Jason's views on the gods were unknowingly passed on to the people of Corinth. Compared with the illusory gods, the people naturally believed more in the king who brought them a prosperous life.

So except for Athena, the other gods were gradually abandoned by them. After Jason's death, this view gradually spread.

The other Argonauts also have their own destinies. Some of them became lords of one party, and some became famous because of their various deeds. Although their destinies are different, the same thing is that the true face of the gods comes from their mouths. Gradually spread.

The deeds of the gods on the earth and how the gods treat humans as playthings continue to spread, especially those like Zeus who act recklessly on the earth and spread the despicable deeds of the world. The image of the gods is known to mankind. Start to collapse.

As a result, among the Greeks, except for a few low-key gods, the Olympian gods gradually lost respect.

Of course, there is another reason for this, which is the gradual improvement of production technology.

After all, if you can't even support yourself and rely too much on the sky, how can a mortal have the courage to hate and oppose the gods?

Only when civilization has entered a certain stage, where mortals can live well without gods, have enough facilities and reserves to fight against accidents, and temporary natural disasters cannot severely damage them, can mortals at this time have enough courage to deal with them. The gods raised a flag of rebellion.

And now, that time is coming. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
