Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 328 The End of the World in the West

Colchis region.

Luo Yin, Eos and Selene were lying in the grass with blooming flowers, waiting for their bodies to recover to be able to fulfill their responsibilities as wives. However, they found that the passage of time suddenly became extremely slow, and every minute and every second changed. It became a kind of torture for Luo Yin.

It’s the morning when the sun rises again.

Luo Yin could no longer suppress the restlessness in his heart, and finally stood up and left between Eos and Selene.

"Eos! Selene! After I came to this world, I haven't seen the scene at the end of the world in the west, so I want to go to the end of the world in the west to have a look."

Hearing Luo Yin's words, Eos and Selene did not object.

Because they were also keenly aware of the growing restlessness in Luo Yin's heart.

However, their bodies had not recovered, and even if they had the intention, they could not calm Luo Yin's restless body and mind.

"Dear! Then you must come back before sunset."

"My sister and I will recover soon. To reward you for waiting these days, my sister and I will meet all your requests."

After hearing what Eos and Selene said, Luo Yin nodded and agreed with a smile.

"Don't worry, I won't stay up all night."

After saying that, Luo Yin turned around and walked towards the sun chariot.

After boarding the compartment of the Sun Chariot, Luo Yin just flicked the reins, and the four winged horses flapped their wings and ran, pulling the Sun Chariot up to the sky.

In the world view of the Greek mythological world, the east end of the world is the east coast of the Black Sea, and the west end of the world is the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean.

In other words, the entire Mediterranean world is the world of Greek mythology.

Because the Black Sea world is directly connected to the Mediterranean Sea, it has become part of the world of Greek mythology.

Luo Yin drove the sun chariot to the highest point in the sky, flew over the ocean and land at the fastest speed, and galloped towards the distant Atlantic Ocean.

In the stories of the world of Greek mythology, there are actually two different descriptions of the end of the world in the west.

In the story of Hercules, the end of the world in the west is the Imbilia Peninsula, which is a very wealthy land. The king who rules this land is a world-famous rich man, nicknamed the Golden Sword.

As a symbol of wealth, this land is home to the famous herd of Geryon's cattle.

After Mycenaean king Eurystheus ordered Hercules to seize Geryon's cattle, Hercules led a group of men to the Imbrian Peninsula, killed the local rulers, and established a new empire here. 's rule.

After seeing this story, many people may be confused.

Heracles was going to leave here eventually, so why did he still seize land on the Imbilia Peninsula to establish his rule.

This is because Hercules’ expedition to the Imbrian Peninsula is not a fictional myth, but a corresponding real-life prototype.

The Phoenicians, including the Mycenaeans, had been exploring the Mediterranean since 2000 BC, looking for lands from which they could plunder wealth.

After hundreds of years of exploration, the Phoenicians explored the Imbilia Peninsula at the western end of the Mediterranean Sea, and used advanced weapons and technology to conquer the locals and establish their rule here.

This is exactly the prototype of Heracles in Greek mythology who came to the Imbilia Peninsula to plunder wealth and establish his rule inexplicably.

In Greek mythology, the island of Eritsia ruled by King Geryon of Imberia was the sacred island of the sun god Helios.

And it was no accident that Hercules threatened the sun god Helios with his bow and arrow before landing on the Imberian Peninsula.

Although the natives of the Imbilia Peninsula did not worship the sun god Helios, they did worship the sun god.

Because the natives of the Imbian Peninsula are also descendants of the Caucasian race who migrated to the Imbian Peninsula from Eastern Europe before 2,000 BC, they may belong to the same ethnic group as the nomads who worshiped Helios in Thrace.

Even before the Great Migration, the sun god of Imberia and Helios of Thrace were indeed the same sun god.

In Greek mythology, another description of the end of the world in the west comes from the story of Perseus and Odysseus.

In the story of Perseus, there is no specific description of the land at the end of the world in the west. It is only said that it is the place where the banshees born to Phorcys, the father of monsters, live.

In the story of Odysseus, the land at the end of the world in the west is connected to the underworld. There is thick fog all year round and the sun never shines. There are two black rivers like the Styx that meet in front of the rocks.

It can be seen from these two versions that because the story of Hercules reflects reality, the description of the end of the world in the west-the Imbilia Peninsula is very accurate.

After all, the Phoenicians really went to the Imbilia Peninsula to establish colonial rule.

The description of the end of the world to the west in the story of Perseus and Odysseus is completely fabricated.

After all, Perseus and Odysseus had never really been to the western shores of the Mediterranean.

Perseus was too old, and due to limited navigation technology, it was possible to only imagine the scene at the end of the world in the west.

The story of Odysseus is later than the story of Hercules.

The story of Odysseus incorrectly describes the end of the world in the west, but it has not been denied, probably because the entire story of Odysseus is a false fabrication.

Those literati and aristocrats who are like Odysseus naturally have to carefully protect this only story that praises literati [wise men] - even if it is entirely false and fabricated, without any corresponding realistic prototype, and is completely inconsistent with Greek mythology basic logic.

After all, at that time, the warrior aristocrats might not understand so many twists and turns, and the mud-legged people at the bottom were even less likely to understand. Naturally, no matter how the literati aristocrats told myths, people at that time had to accept them all.

In the sky above the Mediterranean Sea.

Luo Yin stood on the Sun God Car and looked down at the magnificent and beautiful Mediterranean Sea. When he saw the fertile and fertile land along the Mediterranean Sea, he couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of the Creator for being able to create such a beautiful world.

Soon, the Sun Chariot flew across the Mediterranean Sea from east to west and began to dive towards the Atlantic Ocean on the other side of the Imbilia Peninsula.

Just when the sun chariot was about to land on the Atlantic Ocean, a hundred-meter-tall goddess suddenly appeared from under the sea and raised her hands high to greet Luo Yin's sun chariot.

At this time, it was too late for the sun chariot to stop, so it could only fall into the palms of the goddess.

"Dear brother, I finally caught you."

The goddess who caught the chariot of the sun with both hands was none other than Hera, the adopted daughter of the ocean god Oceanus, and the cheap sister of Luo Yin.

"Sister Hera——"

Luo Yin pulled the reins to control the restless Sun Horse, then looked up at Hera's delicate and beautiful face. Seeing her beautiful white hair like waves and drops of sea water falling down, Luo Yin couldn't help but ask.

"You couldn't have been hiding under the sea waiting for me, right?"

"That's right!"

Hera said with a bright smile.

"Sister, after doing this for you, I will never let a bad woman take you away again this time."

After saying that, Hera clasped her palms together and took Luo Yin and the Sun Chariot into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.
