Reversing Greek Mythology

In the tenth year of the Trojan War, Nestor was already a wise elder who had lived through three heroic ages - about sixty years old.

Because he was not a hero with strong military force when he was young, Nestor just played a role in the Trojan battlefield, not much better than the Trojan king Priam who did not personally go to the battlefield.

The old hero Philoctetes, who was about the same age as Nestor, had a record of killing Paris with Hercules' black bow and poisonous arrows.

It is now the time of the Second Theban War, and Nestor is a young king in his twenties.

The city of Thenaron.

Palace hall.

The palace maid led Nestor into the hall, and when she saw Luo Yin and Persephone on the throne, Nestor's eyes widened in surprise.

Seeing Persephone, who was as beautiful as a goddess, being held in Luo Yin's arms like a little wife, but dressed like an unmarried girl, Nestor immediately guessed Luo Yin's identity.

Luo Yin looked up and down at Nestor, who was standing in the corridor of the hall, and then spoke proactively with a smile on his face.

"King Nestor of Pylos! The City of Thenaron is hostile to the City of Pylos. Do you want to fulfill your father Neleus's goal of ruling the entire Pylos region and declare war on Thenaron City?"

Pylos is a port city on the western coast of the Pylos region.

Nestor's father Neleus was able to take the city of Pylos with his twelve sons because, compared to the agriculturally developed Pylos region, Pylos was only a medium-sized city-state with poor resources and a sparse population.

Thenaron is located in the center of the Pylos Plain and is a large city-state with a huge population.

In the past, Neleus was able to compete with Thenaron City for the hegemony of the Pylos region, not only because Neleus had twelve heroic sons, but also because Pylos City had people from the Argos region, the Yinlis region and the Argos region. Various aids for the Cadia region.

Without these aids, Pylos would not be able to fight against Thenaron.

Luo Yin became the king of Mycenae and immediately cut off the aid from the Argos and Arcadia regions to the city of Pylos. Even the Yinlis region was now involved in civil strife between Agamemnon and his cousins ​​competing for the throne.

It was precisely because the situation became extremely unfavorable to the city of Pylos that Poseidon directly returned to the Inlis area to compete with Zeus for territory in order to avoid being humiliated by Persephone.

"You must be Tantalus, King of Mycenae!"

Nestor forced a smile and said.

"My father Neleus has twelve sons. He is also a powerful hero himself, so he competes with Thenaron City for the hegemony of the Pylos region. But I am not only my father's youngest son, but also my father's weakest son. . After losing my powerful father and eleven powerful brothers, I no longer want to have another war with the powerful Thenaron City. I came to Thenaron City to meet the great queen in the hope of ending the city of Pylos and Thenaron City. state of war."

Looking at the humble Nestor, Luo Yin said thoughtfully.

"Nestor, you're not married yet! I remember that in your original destiny, when Agamemnon became the king of Mycenae, you would propose to Agamemnon's sister Anxibibia, and then With the help of King Agamemnon of Mycenae, I defeated Thenaron and became the great king who ruled the entire Pylos region. Before I met you, I originally wanted to capture the city of Pylos and drive you out of Pylos. area. But I have made you lose the opportunity to marry Anaxibia and prevent you from becoming the great king of the entire Pylos area. As compensation for you, I can give you a chance to continue to rule the city of Pylos. Opportunity. As long as Pylos gives up worshiping Poseidon and surrenders to Thenaron, the war between Pylos and Thenaron can be ended.”

"Give up worshiping Poseidon——"

Nestor's expression immediately changed when he heard Luo Yin's request to him.

Because of betraying Poseidon, the king of the sea, Nestor and his descendants will inevitably suffer Poseidon's revenge.

Nestor looked at Persephone with pleading eyes and begged.

"Merciful Queen! Although the patron saint worshiped in Pylos is Queen Persephone, as a port city, our city of Pylos must be protected by the sea god. Even if we still worship Poseidon, we will not—— "

Before Nestor could finish speaking, Persephone stared at Nestor with a fierce look and said coldly.

"Human! Your stupid mind can't understand our relationship? You ignore your husband's authority in front of your wife. Do you want to sow discord in our relationship?"

What wife?

What husband?

You obviously look like an unmarried girl!

After complaining in his heart, Nestor already understood the reason for Persephone's anger.

Looking back at Luo Yin, Nestor said with a strange expression.

“I heard that after you broke off your engagement with your first fiancée, Princess Clytemnestra, you made Princess Artemeta of Mycenae your second fiancée, proving that you are the legitimate heir to the Mycenaean throne. Now you want to marry the queen and become the king of Thenaron and the great king of Pylos?”

Luo Yin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said.

"I will be a great king over the regions of Argos and Pylos, and that is why I am making a request to you on behalf of the Queen."

"Great King Tantalus! As I just said to the queen, as a port city, our city of Pylos must obtain the god of the sea——"

"Nestor! I know that port cities must worship sea gods, but Poseidon is not the only sea god."

Luo Yin interrupted Nestor and said.

"Before the rise of the sea king Poseidon, the ancient sea god Phorcus was the sea god with great authority in the Ionian Sea west of the Peloponnese Peninsula. If you, the city of Pylos, give up worshiping Poseidon, I can You are allowed to worship the ancient sea god Phorcys or other sea gods."

"But--"

"If you fear Poseidon's vengeance and punishment, then ask Persephone, the powerful and terrifying Queen of the Underworld, to be your protector."

Seeing that Nestor still had a hesitant expression, Persephone said coldly with an unhappy expression.

"What a stupid guy! You give up worshiping Poseidon now, but you may be retaliated and punished by Poseidon in the future. If you refuse the opportunity given to you by my dear husband, you will lose your identity as King of Pylos now. "

After hearing Persephone's words and seeing the impatient expression on Luo Yin's face, Nestor immediately gritted his teeth and said.

"King Tantalus, I accept your request. When I return to Pylos City, I will change the patron saint worshiped in Pylos City to the ancient sea god Phorcys."
