Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 248 Women Are Just Stumbling Blocks [Limited]

"After going around in circles, I'm finally back."

After going through so many things, Eros finally returned to the city of Argos.

After bidding farewell to Nyx, Eros had no plans to look for Semene for the time being.

Now that the materials were ready, he was going to meet up with Prometheus and the others and go straight to Hephaestus.

When we get to Mount Olympus and have plenty of time, we can slowly deal with Semele.

Eros arrived at the port and went to find Cecrops who was waiting for him there.

But Cecrops did not see it, but instead saw Prometheus, whom he had parted with in Arcadia.

She waved to Eros and saw him among the crowd from a distance.

"You are finally back. I thought you had been captured by the Primordial Mother Goddess."

There was no big fluctuation on Prometheus's face, as if all this was within her expectations, and she had been waiting for Eros here early.

"It's just a little trouble and a waste of time. Where's Cecrops?"

"She went ahead and went to the port in Attica, which is closer to Lemnos."

She explained calmly, still as calm as before.

"I'll wait for you here to meet up, and then we'll set off over there."

Eros didn't really care about such trivial matters.

Just as the two were about to leave, there was some commotion at the port.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Eros saw a group of guards snatching slaves and laborers.

Just like a catfish among a school of sardines, the entire port was thrown into chaos in an instant.

Eros and Prometheus avoided the commotion caused by the guards and left the port.

"Didn't Inachus say that he had already arranged his funeral? What's going on?"

On the way to Attica, Eros and Prometheus chatted casually about what they had just seen and heard.

"It was indeed arranged, and there was no trouble with the new king's succession."

Prometheus finally showed a somewhat amused expression on her face, she looked at Eros and said.

"I heard that the slave robbery happened because the new king of Argos received a prophecy from a divine messenger in his dream."

"His youngest daughter will give birth to a child who will destroy his throne, and this terrifies him."

"So he ordered his soldiers to prepare to build a high tower to forbid anyone to touch his daughter."

Looking at the amused smile on Prometheus' face, Eros made a bold guess.

"The one who gave him the prophecy, couldn't it be you?"

Prometheus smiled and did not answer, but not answering meant assent.

"Ha, this is a very traditional and funny prophecy."

Eros complained that this was truly a classic prophecy from the gods.

The person who is predicted will often do a lot of fancy things and end up putting himself on the map, thus completing the self-fulfilling prophecy.

Just like the new king of Argos, if he really couldn't bear to give up the throne, why didn't he just chop off his own little daughter?

Building a high tower may be able to protect against people, but it definitely cannot protect against God.

One look at Ding Zhen and I can tell that it’s all in vain.

Needless to say, Eros knew that it was definitely a bunch of emotion-related gods who were guiding him madly to be able to make such a wise move.

Another characteristic of Greece is that various emotions, such as fear, joy, suspicion, etc., also have corresponding gods. The Greeks attributed all their inexplicable emotions to the guidance of many gods in the dark.

Just like on the stage of an opera performance, when describing the inner emotions of the characters, there are often statues controlled by silk strings descending from the stage.

So in Greece, don't be curious why some people are smart all their lives, but suddenly do something very stupid.

This is a normal phenomenon in Greece, but in the Far East, it means that the catastrophe has arrived, the fire of ignorance will arise, paralyze the five senses, and confuse the mind.

It’s just that in Greece, these tasks were done by the gods themselves.

The two of them just chatted briefly about this topic, and Eros didn't pay too much attention to the princess who was about to be imprisoned in the tower.

According to convention, she would have to be imprisoned for ten or eight years before her fate would turn around.

It's still early now. Even if he wants to take advantage of the situation, it's not the right time yet.

But now, Eros only had his holy cloth in his mind and hurried on his way impatiently.

Women will only become stumbling blocks on the road to progress.

Only during this time.

Prometheus rowed the boat across the not-so-wide strait between Argos and Attica.

Although the two places are separated by only a not particularly wide strait, the landscapes of the two regions are completely different.

Argos had built a majestic acropolis and city-states, but although the Attica region had more vast land, it did not have many traces of human construction.

Eros and Prometheus were moving at a fast pace, and the human settlements along the way that looked like primitive tribes were not worth stopping for.

When Prometheus and Eros arrived at the starting point agreed with Cecrops, they did not see Cecrops.

The empty ship was parked on the coast, with only a few crew members staying there.

"And the Cecrops?"

Prometheus looked at the crew members in front of him, all of whom had injuries to varying degrees.

She keenly sensed the flavor of the incident.

The crew members were very excited to see their captain finally return.

"Captain! The first mate is out fighting!"

Their simple and crude reply made Prometheus silent for a moment.

Although they had robbed other ships at sea, they should not do it here now.

"Tell me more carefully, what happened?"

The crew members talked at once, and Prometheus slowly pieced together the whole story from their words.

During the time these crew members stayed here, they always showed off their glorious resumes intentionally or unintentionally when communicating with the people in Attica.

I have been to the furnace where the god of fire forged artifacts, gone deep into the endless sea of ​​Oceanus, and arrived at the city of gods under the great whirlpool.

This kind of bragging is generally not a problem.

But it happened that some people believed their words and thought that since they returned from these places, they must have brought a lot of treasures and wealth.

The person who believed these words was the current uncrowned king of Attica, the demigod Actaios born of the earth.

This tyrannical demigod monarch brought his men over to try to snatch it, and then he confronted Cecrops.

Two demigods who were also born from the earth, this is going to be exciting.

Prometheus's expression changed, as if he had thought of something.

　There's not much to say about the early stages of Athens, just go through it quickly.
