Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Daves nodded and said: "I will send Ansitanos to assist you, because this time I came to Turai to participate in all the famous Greek scholars, which have great influence in Greek city-states. Ansitas will know more about them and there will be some common topics that will not slow them down.

In addition, these scholars may make some requests, as long as they are not excessive, we try our best to satisfy them. What you need to pay attention to is that after the conference, there may be a lot of people to listen to their lectures. You have to send enough people to maintain order, not to have riots, and to protect the safety of these scholars. ”

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured, I will make careful arrangements." Lucias said cautiously.

"It’s been discussed for so long, it’s time to have lunch.” Daphus stretched out and looked relaxed and smiled: "I have one last thing to say, it’s my personal business. After the Hera celebration tomorrow, my daughter Cynthia’s wedding, I will hold a celebration party at the palace in the evening, invite you to participate!”

.................................

This year's Hera marriage celebration is more lively than in previous years, and there are more people to watch because there is a special young couple in the newlyweds who participated in the celebration.

They are the daughters of King Daves, the daughter of King Daves, who is loved by the people of Dionia, the hero of the Cynthias and the youngest army captain, Patroclus.

In addition to the aura of the background behind them, they themselves are quite popular with the public.

Cynthia became a powerful helper for her mother, Christovia, when she was an adult. She helped to make business affairs and was familiar to the Turifs. She is gentle, generous and industrious, and is the outstanding female image that is highly respected in the culture of Dionya.

And Patroclus was born into a free family. After his father was wounded on the battlefield, he was not decadent, but actively engaged in public affairs. Through his own efforts, he became an outstanding kingdom official and made his own contribution to the prosperity of Turui. Patroclus himself became a good warrior and team officer through his studies at the University of Diony and his experience on the battlefield, and became a flagship player on the triumphals because of his excellent record. As a country of immigration, the success of the Patroclus family is the example of countless families born in the kingdom.

Therefore, despite the end of the celebration, the people are still very interested, because they know that there are still traditional weddings for these two young people at night, and maybe they can see the kings and couples.

At this moment, Cynthia has separated from Patroclus, following her mother, Grace, and the slave girl to the Hades Fountain (the former Turin Fountain) on the side of Victory Square, to the Pluto couple and Dave in the center of the spring. After the statue was salvaged, he put on a few cans of clear spring water and then returned home.

At this time, the Dafus Mansion is already draped in red, and everyone dressed in costumes, including the servants, are all preparing for the upcoming wedding.

Cynthia quickly returned to the bathroom in the main building, took off her already soaked clothes (wet when splashing water on Hera celebrations), and scrubbed the whole body with the spring water, not only to wash away the dirt on her body. It is also a symbolic cleansing of the remains of his virgin era in accordance with tradition.

Then she put on a clean robes and went to the backyard garden. Aegis was waiting for the statue of the prostitute and child protection **** Argentine. The statue was already set up and the oil lamp was lit.

"Love Grace Mother!" Cynthia rushed over.

"Don't worry, child." Agris smiled, grabbed her hand, let her stand in front of the statue, and then stood by her side.

At this time, Ai Ge Sisi wore a white priest robes, beautiful and sturdy, standing with Cynthia, completely a pair of sister flowers, people can not see that she was born two children, already three Sixteen or seventeen-year-old women. Only a careful observation will reveal one or two crow's feet in her eyes.

Aunt Grace looks at the statue of Artemis who is arching his arrow in front of her eyes. She couldn’t help but feel sad: 20 years ago, when she became the priest of the goddess, I thought I would serve her and be alone. Why have you ever thought that you will have a considerate husband, two lovely children, a big family...

"Come, pray with me softly." Ai Ge Sisi returned to God and said softly to Cynthia, then took the lead and whispered: "The night falls, the moon appears."

Argentine, you are holding a bow and arrow and patrolling the world.

Girls and children are sheltered by you.

......"

Cynthia followed the prayer of piety.

After the prayers were finished, Cynthia’s close-knit female slaves brought some of the clothes and toys she had worn in her childhood, igniting in front of the statues.

Looking at the rising white smoke, smelling a bit of a scent, Cynthia couldn’t help but feel a bit stunned, because from this moment, she said goodbye to her childhood, but also from the blessing of Altunes, and will shift To the field of the goddess of **** Aphrodite and the goddess of marriage protection Hera.

To this end, she returned to her bedroom, and her other mother, Christopher, was waiting in the house.

"Mother, hard work for you!" Cynthia shouted excitedly. At this time, her bedroom was very beautifully dressed, and a golden statue of Aphrodite was erected on the bed. This is the result of the efforts of Christovia alone. According to tradition, no one is allowed. Outsiders come to intervene.

"Stupid child, isn't this a mother should do it?" Clithista said with a smile, then took out a gold-plated apple and handed it to her, saying, "Pray to God."

In the legend of the Iliad, Prince Troy gave the Aphrodite apple to her as the most beautiful goddess, so the very happy Aphrodite immediately gave Paris a blessing to make the most beautiful Greece. Woman Helen liked him, which led to the Trojan War. In some of the Greek city-states of later generations, there is such a marriage custom: the golden apple will be presented to Aphrodite, and the bride will receive the blessing of the **** of love.

Cynthia holds the golden apple and prays to Aphrodite.

After a moment of silence, she placed the apple in the hand of the statue, in exchange for a new and gorgeous chest strap that had been stacked in its hands. This is also a custom derived from the legend of the Iliad: In the legend, the goddess Hera pleaded with Aphrodite to lend her belt to her chest before combining with Zeus, the king of the gods. Because the chest strap is a magical skill with temptation, it is true that Zeus was fascinated by Hera, which made Hera achieve its goal smoothly.

As a bride, who does not want the groom to pamper oneself alone, enjoy the river and enjoy the joy!

Cynthia took the chest strap with a little shyness and tried it on her chest.

Clithista took Cynthia sitting on the edge of the bed and pointed at a few items on the bed. She said: "This crown, necklace, and earrings are what you loved by Grace's mother. This is her marriage. Jewelry worn by Turui."

Cynthia looked at these pieces of jewelry: the crown was made of gold and silver, inlaid with blue and green garnets, the style was very delicate and meticulous; and the necklace was made of silver and made of tassels with gold. The front end is adorned with a large orange-red amber, which is very dazzling; the earrings are two small and delicate silver nails with a pair of milky white pearls with a faint glow.

Cynthia took it in her hands, looked at it, looked at it, couldn’t put it down, hate it, she couldn’t wear it right away, she couldn’t help but say: “It’s beautiful!”

Clithista sighed at the side: "You love the family of Grace's mother, but Lijim's great aristocrat, thinking that her father, Attilus, sent her to Turui with a gorgeous fleet. Let your father hold a grand wedding. Your father took my feelings and refused... At that time, you loved Grace's mother wearing a precious piece of jewelry, and came to the house from the port with the huge team of sending friends. Along the way, it attracted the attention of thousands of people. So far this wedding is still a topic of many Turifs..."

Cynthia remembered that when Christovia and Davers married, it was Amendora Lara who took back from the Lucanias. The minds of all were placed on how to stand firm and recover in Amendola. In the urgent matter of war trauma, the marriage ceremony of the two of them was very simple. They just participated in the start-up Hera celebration. There was neither a grand wedding nor a banquet. Instead, they followed two oil bottles (ie, she And my brother Adoris...

Cynthia thought of this ~www.readwn.com~ immediately put down the jewelry, relatives clasped Christovia with both hands: "Mother, what is the old thing you gave me?"

"I was married at that time, and there weren't many items, only this one--" Clithista sighed again and picked up a belt from the bed.

Cynthia immediately noticed the special features of this belt: although it looks slightly old, it feels very good in texture, and it is light and nothing. The pattern embroidered on it is also very beautiful, and it is not ordinary silk. It’s never seen before... The whole belt has a colorful color, but it’s not cheesy at all, but it’s quite expensive.

Clithista saw Cynthia staring at the belt with her eyes fixed. Her heart was quite emotional. She stroked her belt with her hand and said faintly: "This is a Persian royal belt. It once blessed me to escape the arrest of Persian soldiers. It also blessed me to meet your father. It blessed me and successfully escaped from Persia. It blessed me to follow your father to the Great Greece and eventually married him... Now I will give it to you..."

Clithista whispered, and there were countless pictures of the past in her mind. The promise that Daves made to her was realized now, and the person she served when she was young now she completely wants What does it look like...
