Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 98 I became Tantalus III

"You are Clytemnestra—"

Luo Yin couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise when he heard the name of the blue-haired girl in front of him.

Because he had met Inphigenia's mother, Clytemnestra, in the past, Luo Yin knew very well that although Clytemnestra had a similar face and the same blue hair to Inphigenia, she did not She doesn't have the blue eyes that only ocean goddesses and their incarnations have.

The Clytemnestra in front of her has the same blue eyes as Inphigenia. In other words, she, like Inphigenia, is the incarnation of the sea goddess from the Aetolia region.

"Although your name and identity are different, you, the ocean goddess from the Aetolia region, are still my fiancée!"

Luo Yin stretched out his left hand and pressed it on Clytemnestra's blue hair, and asked with a smile while touching her head.

"Clytemnestra, since I am your fiancé, then my identity is Agamemnon?"

"You are indeed related to Agamemnon, but you are not Agamemnon."

Clytemnestra looked at Luo Yin doubtfully and said.

"You are the son of Thyestes, Agamemnon's uncle—the prince of Tantalus who ruled the city of Tiryns in place of your father Thyestes."

"I became Tantalus?"

Luo Yin's mood became a little complicated after learning his current identity.

There are three Tantalus in this world. The first Tantalus was Tantalus I who ruled the city of Sipylos in the Asia Minor Peninsula in the past. He was also the ancestor of the later Tantalus II and Tantalus III.

Tantalus I was the son of Zeus. He was sent to hell by Zeus to suffer eternal punishment for killing his son Pelops and making food for the gods.

Tantalus II was one of the seven sons born to Tantalus' daughter Niobe. He was killed by Apollo when Queen Niobe of Thebes refused to allow the Thebans to worship Apollo's mother Leto. Killed by the divine arrow.

Tantalus III was the son of Thyestes, Tantalus's grandson. He was Clytemnestra's first husband and the father of Clytemnestra's first child.

After Thyestes failed in the war with Agamemnon for the throne of Mycenae, the weak Tantalus III was unable to protect himself and was brutally murdered by Agamemnon.

After Tantalus III died, his and Clytemnestra's child was thrown to death by Agamemnon, and his beautiful wife Clytemnestra was also snatched away by Agamemnon.

Luo Yin's current identity is Tantalus III, who is destined to have a tragic fate in the future.

Seeing that the palace he was in was empty, with neither maids serving the prince nor soldiers guarding the palace, Luo Yin asked doubtfully.

"Dear Clytemnestra! Since I am a prince, why can't I see anyone serving me in this palace?"

"You don't want anyone to serve you - you made the request yourself!"

Clytemnestra explained patiently.

"Your father Thyestes was expelled by Atreus because he wanted to compete with Agamemnon's father Atreus for the right to inherit the throne of Mycenae. You are worried that you will also be persecuted by Atreus. Not only did you give up ruling the city of Tiryns, but you also came to the city of Sparta to show Atreus that you posed no threat to him. In order to prove that you had no ambitions, you even stated that you would give up your status as a prince and be willing to become an ordinary civilian. "

"This Tantalus III is really a coward! His father Thyestes was expelled by Atreus. Not only did he have no idea of ​​revenge for his father, but he tried his best to prove to Atreus that he was inhumane. No harm, no threat to him.”

After Luo Yin complained about Tantalus III's cowardice, Clytemnestra followed suit.

"You actually called yourself a coward, you are so weird today."

Then Clytemnestra took out an unedged golden dagger and said.

"Tantarus, I came today to tell you that Atreus sent a messenger. This is proof of his identity as a messenger. The messenger asked me to tell you that your uncle Atreus asked you to return to The ruler of Argos, the city of Tiryns, will swear to the gods that he will never harm you. The messenger also asked me to tell you that your sister Philopia, the wife of Atreus, misses you very much. Philopia has won the love of Atreus, and she can protect you from Atreus."

Taking the golden dagger from Clytemnestra's hand into his own hand, Luo Yin looked at the emblem on the hilt and said.

"Atreus and Thyestes are such a strange pair of brothers! When they were young, they murdered their half-brother Chrysippus together, but later turned against each other to compete for the succession to the throne of Mycenae. Perhaps they turned against each other. It was because the dumplings were so delicious that Thyestes hooked up with Atreus's wife. Atreus found out that he was a cuckold and not only expelled Thyestes and annulled his marriage to his wife. He also married Philopia, the daughter of his brother Thyestes.”

Seeing Clytemnestra's worried look, Luo Yin asked with concern.

"Clytemnestra, are you hiding something very important from me?"

"I didn't hide it from you on purpose. Even if I told you about it, you couldn't help me."

Seeing Luo Yin's displeased expression, Clytemnestra said with a wry smile.

"Yesterday, my sister Helen was snatched away by two strange men when she was performing a sacrificial dance in the Temple of Hera. Someone recognized one of the men as Theseus, King of Athens. Now my two brothers Polydeuces and Castor We have already headed to the city of Athens, and I believe they will be able to get Helen back soon."

"Helen was snatched away by Theseus - that is to say, Hercules is still alive and has not yet completed his last mission!"

Luo Yin looked down at the golden spear in his right hand, then looked at Clytemnestra and said.

"Clytemnestra, since you are my fiancée, Helen is my sister. Now that Helen has been taken away by Theseus, I have to save her."

"Why did you suddenly become so brave? For the rescue of my sister Helen, brother Polydeuces and brother Castor are enough."

"The Attica area ruled by the Kingdom of Athens is so large that it will not be easy for Polydeuces and Castor to find Helen. I will search for Helen with them to prevent Helen from being harmed by Theseus."

"Helen was just a nine-year-old girl, younger than Theseus' son. Theseus took Helen away, maybe he just wanted a daughter, and he shouldn't let Helen be harmed."

Although Theseus would indeed not let Helen be harmed, his purpose in taking Helen away was not that he wanted a daughter younger than his son, but that he wanted Helen to be his wife.

Looking at Clytemnestra who was not worried about Helen's safety, Luo Yin said with a strange expression.

"Dear fiancée! Haven't you ever thought that King Theseus of Athens might be a perverted lolita? Phaedra, the daughter of King Minos who ruled Crete, also met Theseus when he was young. Later, she was proposed by Theseus and became Theseus' queen. In order to prevent Helen from being killed by Theseus, I must participate in the rescue of Helen."
