Chapter 643
If there are no accidents, they will live a life like the protagonists of "Death is Coming" in the future, and they will be exhausted to deal with the endless fatal accidents.
Just then, something surprising happened to them.
Goddess Athena finally shot.
She declared with great fanfare that the Argonauts were under her protection.
Such a declaration is to put an end to the other gods' intention to murder them - otherwise, it would be a turn against Athena.
The Argonauts are not very important to the gods, they must be killed. The gods want them to die just to vent their anger.
However, Athena's decision also meant another thing.
That is, all along, the conceptual contradiction between her and the gods of Olympus that was not caused has been put on the bright side.
Of course, this does not mean a complete break.
Athena still lives on Mount Olympus.
The conflict that erupted only severed her apparent communication with the rest of the gods.
And what about the Argonauts?
With the end of the expedition, they also disbanded and each returned to their home.
The ship that was supposed to be sacrificed to Poseidon after the expedition was sacrificed to Athena, after all, it was Athena who sheltered them in the end.
In this regard, Athena is quite happy, after all, she once again made her old rival Poseidon lose face.
After the expedition, Jason was not only unable to seize the throne, but also sadly found that his father, Esson, had been persecuted by Pelias before, drinking poisonous ox blood and committing suicide, and Jason's mother also hanged herself. , and the remaining baby boy was eventually killed by Pelias.
Enraged by the fate of his parents and younger brother, Jason asks the Argonauts to avenge him before the group part ways.
The mere Pelias was naturally not the opponent of the Argonauts without any precautions. On a dark and windy night, he was killed in the palace. After that, the murderers who caused it all left. Sally.
Jason himself also left this sad place, wandering all the way to Corinth.
There, King Creon accepted him, and Jason's gorgeous appearance and excellent lip service played a big role here. Creon believed that Jason was indeed a tragic hero, but he just didn't have his own heir. , so he betrothed his daughter Glauce to him.
Although Jason did not get the favor of Medea as in the mythology and obtained the golden fleece, his fate was much better after that.
Jason, who is determined to become a king of one side, although he also has his own sad wish to benefit one side, but in mythology, he really betrayed too many people for this desire.
Faced with the same fate, the mythical Jason is still tied to Medea, so he ungratefully accepts the engagement and divorces Medea.
Medea, in retaliation, gave the bride a robe dyed with poison as a wedding gift. After wearing it, Glauke was burned to death by the violent flames, and her father was also killed trying to save his daughter. Medea killed her two sons and fled to Athens in a chariot pulled by flying dragons.
And Jason lost the protection of the goddess Hera because he broke his promise. On one occasion he fell asleep in the stern of the Argo, when the rotting ship fell and crushed him, finally incurring the reward of fate.
But now, Jason is benevolence.
He did not betray anyone, became Creon's son-in-law, and became the king of the country of Corinth in the future. He could finally fulfill his dream, benefit one party with his own strength, and prove his talent.
Corinth became rich and powerful under his leadership, surpassing his homeland of Thessaly to become the premier power in the vicinity, which proved that Jason was indeed a good leader-in fact, this point from Jason was able to make The people on the Argonaut can get the first clues when they unite.
In fact, from this point of view, he is not a particularly bad person.
In the process, Jason's views on the gods were also passed on to the people of Corinth unknowingly. Compared with the illusory gods, the people naturally believed more in the king who brought them a rich life.
So apart from Athena, the rest of the gods were gradually abandoned by them. After Jason died, this view gradually spread.
Other Argonauts also have their own destiny. Some of them become lords of one party, and some are famous for their various deeds. Although their fates are different, the same thing is that the true face of the gods comes from their mouths. Gradually spread it.
The deeds of the gods on the earth, and the rumors of how the gods treat human beings as playthings continue to spread, especially those like Zeus, who act recklessly on the earth and plant the world. start to collapse.
Therefore, among the Greeks, except for a few low-key gods, the gods of Olympus gradually lost their respect.
Of course, there is another reason for this, that is, the gradual improvement of production technology.
After all, if you can’t even feed yourself and look too much at the sky, how can mortals have the courage to hate and oppose the gods?
Only when civilization has entered a certain stage, mortals can live well without gods, have enough facilities and reserves to fight against accidents, and a temporary natural disaster cannot hit them hard. At this time, mortals can have enough courage to fight. The gods raised their flag against it.
And now, that moment is coming.
0801 Calydon Hunting
After the Argonaut expedition, what did Ye Ting do?
He stayed at Mystra College for a long time, and after completing the Argonaut expedition, he continued to travel around Greece with the three sisters Circe, Medea and Atalanta as a wandering mage.
Of course, in the process, they also experienced a lot of things.
This, of course, included hunting wild boars in Kalydon.
It all stems from the fact that Ornius, the king of the city-state of Calydon, alone forgot to sacrifice to Artemis in a harvest festival to sacrifice to the gods.
Although the goddess has a simple and innocent personality, she is not a good person. In fact, this childlike goddess does not need to maintain the surface face like other more mature gods. For her, like is like, hate. Just hate. Everything you like should be pursued hard (such as Ye Ting), and everything you hate should be erased.
Although such a character is cute, it is cruel to mortals.
This time, the goddess was as angry as a child who did not receive sugar, so she dispatched one of the most ferocious, huge and strong wild boars of all the divine beasts under her command to infest the area of Calydon.
This wild boar was taller and stronger than an elephant, with bloody eyes and fiery eyes, and a neck full of stiff bristles, each bristling as sharp as the point of a spear, and each roar was like spitting out hot foam, foam The flank was hot and red, and the pair of tusks were as long as ivory. When they opened their mouths, they flashed, and when they exhaled, they scorched the grass.
Facing this terrifying wild boar, Meleagloss, the prince of Calydon and one of the survivors of the Argonauts, faced the crisis, so he had no choice but to invite his friends and companions to gather warriors and heroes to hunt this mythical wild boar. .
It seemed that he regretted the damage he had caused, and Artemis himself was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help himself to recall the wild boar, so the goddess found Ye Ting and hoped that he could bring the wild boar back.
In this way, Ye Ting and three girls joined the hunt for the Kalydon wild boar.
In fact, among the heroes who came to participate in the hunt, there were also other Argonauts. Perhaps because so many Argonauts were the only ones who survived, after returning to Greece, the Argonauts still maintained the friendships forged during the expedition and helped each other in times of trouble.
The Argonauts coming this time include the future Gemini Castor and the Polydeuces brothers, Jason, who is not very skilled, also came, and Keniere, who made a wish to Poseidon and became a man Si also came to help, and Telamon and others also came one after another.
For the arrival of Ye Ting and other old friends, Meleagloss is naturally very welcome, especially Ye Ting and others.
He has already seen the magic of the three mages, and Atalanta, as a powerful hunter, ended the two trials of Aietes with one person's power is also a fact he witnessed in the expedition. For him, Ye Ting and others Appearing is naturally a strong aid.
However, no one could have imagined how strong these strong aids were.
The process of hunting the Kalydon wild boar was not smooth at the beginning. The hounds had no effect on this powerful monster, but were slaughtered arbitrarily by it. The heroes could only shoot themselves, using spears and bows and arrows to hunt.
However, the wild boar, which is rampant in the forest, comes and goes like the wind, although its body is huge, it is not so easy to hit the target.
Ozion made his first shot, which missed and only a maple was lightly injured.
And the second shot, if it wasn't too hard, seemed to have hit the pig's spine as he wished, but it was thrown too far, and it was Jason who shot the second shot.
