Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 5 Agamemnon Wants Cassandra

The city of Misier.

When Luoyin came here with his beautiful captive Chryseins, Teucer had already defeated Telephus, the son of Heracles, and was celebrating his victory in the palace.

In the banquet hall of the palace.

Teucer was sitting on the throne, drinking and having fun with joy. He held Eurysax, the son of Ajax, in his arms, and nestled beside him was Tecmesa, who used to be his sister-in-law and now belonged to him.

Luo Yin took Chryseins into the banquet hall and spoke directly to Teucer.

"Teucer, it seems that you are very satisfied here. From now on, you can stay here and rule Missia!"

"Neoptolemus..."

Seeing Luo Yin and Chryseins, Teucer put down the wine glass in his hand and said.

"Won't you allow me to return to my hometown?"

"It is not me who does not allow you to return to your hometown, but your father Telamon. Before you avenge Ajax and kill the hateful Odysseus, your father Telamon will not allow you to enter Sarmon. The port of Ramis Island. But you don’t have the strength to kill Odysseus at all, so you can never return to your hometown. You will stay in Missia to raise the son of Ajax and let him return to your hometown to inherit Thee. Ramon’s throne!”

Seeing Teucer's dejected look, Luo Yin continued.

"And it is your destiny to rule Mysia. The ancient king who ruled Mysia, the distant maternal ancestor of the Trojans, was also named Teuclos."

"If this is the fate arranged by the gods for me, I can only give up my desire to return to my hometown."

Teucer sighed, and then said to Luo Yin with a solemn face.

"Neoptolemus, you will definitely anger Agamemnon when you bring Chryseides back to the camp of the Greek coalition, because Chryseinas was once his slave."

"You don't need to worry about me. Even if Agamemnon has the support of a hundred thousand troops, he can't defeat me. What's more, Agamemnon is only the king of kings in name. If he is stupid enough to challenge me, I will I don’t mind changing a commander for the Greek coalition.”

After saying goodbye to Teucer, Luo Yin took Chryseins by boat and left the Gulf of Missia, returning to the camp of the Greek coalition.

When Luo Yin's ship arrived at the coast of Troy, the Greek coalition forces had completed the work of burying the dead.

The princes of the Greek coalition gathered around Agamemnon and were discussing how to retrieve the old hero Philoctetes who was abandoned by them on the island of Lemnos.

Philoctetes was also a man who lived through three heroic ages. He was a friend of Heracles and inherited Hercules' bow and arrows after Hercules' death.

Calchas, the prophet among the princes of the Greek coalition, told them that only when Philoctetes came to Troy with Heracles' bow and arrows could the Greek coalition break the city of Troy.

Seeing Luo Yin bringing Chryseins to the camp, Agamemnon immediately turned ugly and led the princes to Luo Yin.

"Son of Achilles! It seems that you really captured Missia and captured the beautiful Chrysei. In the past, Achilles dedicated Chrysine to me, so that Chrysine became My slave. Will you now imitate Achilles and give me Chryseins again?"

Agamemnon dared to ask for Chryseins from him, Luo Yin said with a joking sneer.

"King Agamemnon! You asked me to dedicate Chryseis to you. Aren't you worried that Apollo, the mouse, will shoot an arrow of plague at you and take away your life?"

In the past, Agamemnon was unwilling to return Chrysesus to Chryses, the priest of Apollo. Apollo created a plague in the camp of the Greek coalition and claimed many lives.

Thinking of the horror of the plague, Agamemnon could only give up asking for Chryseins and warned Luo Yin.

"Son of Achilles! Since you know that Chryseines' father is Apollo's favored priest, aren't you worried about Apollo spreading plague in your camp?"

"I will make my soldiers drink only boiled water, eat only cooked food, and prepare themselves for the plague."

After saying that, Luo Yin ignored Agamemnon and returned to his barracks with Chryseins.

night.

Inside the barracks lit by candlelight.

Luo Yin asked Chryseins to serve him for dinner.

Seeing Chryseins' clumsy way, Brodamia said with some dissatisfaction.

"My lord, is it my service that makes you dissatisfied? Why do you want to give my work to Chryseins?"

Brodamia is—jealous?

After many years of development in Achilles, Luo Yin believed that Brodamia's service ability must be of a very high level.

It's a pity that she is Achilles' woman. Luo Yin has no interest in women who have been used by other men.

"Blodamia! Even among the gods, Hermes will respect Leto because she is the wife of Zeus. You are Achilles's woman, so I don't want to use you as a slave."

"But I-"

Brodamia wanted to say something to Luo Yin, but she was unable to say the words as if she was being strangled.

In the end, Brodamia had no choice but to give up, lowered her head and said dejectedly.

"My master! No matter in the past, present or future, my master will always be you."

Early the next morning.

Luo Yin just woke up from his sleep and saw Odysseus entering the barracks and saying.

"Neoptolemus, after our princes discussed last night, we decided to let you and I go to Lemnos Island to pick up Philoctetes."

"Don't go!"

Luo Yin refused without hesitation.

"Odysseus, you are a truly wise man. Do you really think that we need the bows and arrows of Philoctetes and Hercules to break the city of Troy?"

Odysseus shook his head without hesitation.

No matter how powerful Philoctetes' archery skills were, it would not be of any help to the attack on Troy.

After all, all the princes of the Greek coalition are descendants of gods, and the most indispensable ones are marksmen who are always accurate.

The gods asked the Greek coalition to take back the bows and arrows of Philoctetes and Heracles, just to let Hercules participate in the Trojan War.

Although Hercules was an invincible hero among mankind when he was alive, after his death, Hercules became the god of Hercules. He was only a weak god with a low status among the gods. His ability to interfere in the Trojan War was even worse than that of the Trojan War. Not to the river god Scamandros.

Therefore, the Greek coalition forces must have the presence of Hercules' bows and arrows to conquer the city of Troy, which became a task that the Greek coalition forces must complete.

Philoctetes was but an accessory to Heracles' bow.

"Neoptolemus, although Philoctetes will not be helpful in breaking the city of Troy, we must fulfill what the gods ask of us."

"That's what the gods ask of you."

Luo Yin put on his strappy sandals, walked out of the barracks with the divine spear and said.

"Odysseus! I will use my own power to destroy the city of Troy. If you want to take Philoctetes back, go by yourself."

After saying that, Luo Yin left the camp and walked towards Troy City in the distance.

After Odysseus followed Luo Yin out of the barracks, he looked at Luo Yin's leaving back with a sneer on his face.

Agamemnon's barracks.

The princes who supported Agamemnon were drinking and having fun with Agamemnon here. Each of them had a beautiful Trojan woman serving them.

Thinking that the beautiful Chryseins would be held in Luo Yin's arms and played with, Agamemnon drank the wine in the glass and said.

"My dear friends, when we follow the will of God and welcome back Philoctetes, we will soon be able to break the city of Troy and fulfill our ten-year long cherished wish. After occupying the city of Troy, the beautiful city Princess Creusa of Luoyin, Laudic, Cassandra, and Polyxena will all belong to us, including Hector's beautiful wife Andromache. As the commander-in-chief of the coalition, I want to get Pala. Priestess of S. Athena—the beautiful and noble Cassandra.”

Cassandra had vowed not to marry in order to serve the gods.

Pallas Athena therefore rewarded her with the power of prophecy.

But because Cassandra vowed never to marry and refused Apollo's pursuit, she was cursed by Apollo, causing no one to believe her prophecy.

Hearing Agamemnon's words, little Ajax's eyes flashed with jealousy, and he decided to be the first to get Cassandra, who was coveted by the god Apollo.
