Chapter 321 Athamas and Aeolus

The city of Iolkas.

This city-state, facing the sea on both sides, is the residence of the Aeolian tribe.

After Aeolus, the great leader of the Aeolus tribe, made this place the tribe's residence, they could not only graze cattle and sheep on the grassland, but also fish from the sea for food, and trade food with merchants at sea.

Because there are more ways to obtain food than other tribes, the Aeolian tribe has now developed into the most populous Dorian tribe.

When night falls.

Atamas, the great leader of the Atamas tribe, finally brought his son Phrixos and a group of personal guards to the city of Iolkas of the Aeolus tribe.

Upon hearing the news of Athamas' arrival, Aeolus personally took his son Critos and grandson Aeson to greet the guests and took them to the hall of his stone house.

After the host and guests all sat down, Aeolus asked Athamas doubtfully.

"Dear brother, how come you come to me with Phrixus?"

The Dorians practiced a two-king system.

There are usually two leaders in a tribe. When one leader leads the tribe soldiers to fight, the other leader is responsible for managing the tribe.

In order to prevent the leader's power from being taken away by others, the chief leader of the tribe usually makes his son a double king alongside himself.

The two kings of the Atamas tribe are the great leader Atamas and his son Phrixus.

Under normal circumstances, only one of Atamas and Phrixos will leave the tribe, and the other must stay in the tribe.

After hearing Aeolus' inquiry, Athamas immediately said with tears.

"Dear Aeolus, my tribe of Atamas was attacked by barbarians from the south, and only these people around me escaped from the barbarian siege with me."

Barbarians of the South——

Aeolus couldn't help laughing when he heard that Athamas actually called the sheep-like Pilaskis barbarians.

Because they, the Dorians, are the real barbarians, and the Pilaskis in the south are weak sheep.

Seeing Aeolus' reaction, Atamas said anxiously.

"Aeolus, do you think I'm joking? My Atamas tribe has been destroyed by the barbarians from the south. Now my people may have all been killed. Even if they are still alive, they have become Pyrrha The prisoners of the Skis. Even my daughter Helle fell into the hands of the Pilasskis, and may have been used as the highest-level sacrifice to the gods. "

Atamas didn't look like he was lying, Aeolus said with a serious face.

"Atamas, how can the Pilaskis in the south defeat the Dorians on horseback? Even if we don't ride horses, there is no reason for us to lose to the Pilaskis who cultivate the land."

"Weapons - the reason for weapons!"

Atamas said with lingering fear.

"If the weapons used are the same, there is really no reason for us Dorians to lose to the Pilaskis who farm the land. Those Pilaskis who attacked the Atamas tribe all used a black metal weapon that can easily Kill our soldiers."

"Not a golden bronze weapon, but a black metal weapon?"

Aeolus said with a frown.

"Not only have I never seen black metal weapons, I have never even heard of them. Fate is so unfair. The Pilaskis had advanced bronze weapons in the past, preventing us from going south to conquer Pylas. Jiren, now let them get more powerful weapons."

"Aeolus! This is not only a crisis for our Atamas tribe, but also a crisis for all Dorians. Now we want to defeat the Pilaskis, the only way is to go to Mount Pelion and seek the high priest Chiron s help."

Chiron of Mount Pelion was a wise priest revered by all Dorians and wise mentor to the heroic chiefs of all the Dorian tribes.

According to Dorian tradition, when a boy reaches the age of seven, he will be organized into a team to live a collective military life.

But this is the treatment for ordinary Dorian boys.

The sons of the chiefs of the Dorian tribe would be sent to the high priest Chiron for education.

In the myth of another world, after the Dorians conquered the Peloponnese Peninsula and dominated Greece, not only the Dorian god Hieron [Prometheus] became the ancestor of all Greeks, but also the Dorian hero Mentor Chiron also became the mentor of all Greek heroes.

"Seek the help of High Priest Chiron - do you want High Priest Chiron to unite our remaining three tribes, or do you want High Priest Chiron to summon the great Hieron?"

"Even if the three major tribes unite, it is impossible to make up for the gap in weapons with numbers. Now if we want to defeat the barbarians in the south, we can only rely on the power of the gods."

Under the same night.

The seat of the Atamas tribe.

More than a thousand Dorian women slaughtered cattle and sheep under the supervision of Theban soldiers to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Roy's soldiers.

Roy sat surrounded by two thousand Dorian girls, eating roast lamb and correcting their views.

"Do you know why you failed? Because you Dorians are a barbaric and backward civilization. Your ancestors taught you to be thieves, robbers, and liars, and taught you to enslave other ethnic groups. These are all wrong education. Our Kingdom of Athens We can conquer you because we are a more advanced civilization."

Heller suddenly sneered.

"You say you are an advanced civilization? You killed all our men and reduced us women to slaves. What's the difference between your actions and ours?"

"How stupid!"

Roy shook his head.

"I killed all your men because your Dorian men are hopeless. The only way to save the Dorians is to let the civilized Pelasgians give birth to new Dorians with you. Because your Dorian men can only get married when they are over 30 years old, your Dorian women can only marry husbands who are more than 10 years older than themselves, even old enough to be their fathers. This is a deformed marriage, so the Dorian culture does not require wives to be loyal to their husbands, but this is undoubtedly wrong."

Roy raised his left hand and pointed at his soldiers.

"Look at the soldiers of the Kingdom of Athens. They are all young men under the age of 20. In the future, you will all have such a brave young soldier as your master and husband. Because this is a correct marriage of age, you must abandon the wrong concept of marriage and be loyal to your husband like the women of the Kingdom of Athens. Only when your husband dies or you divorce him can you be with other men."

"Do you think we Dorian women don't want to be loyal to our husbands?"

Heller couldn't help but say.

"Not only are we Dorian women forced to marry husbands who are more than ten years older than us, but because of the custom of marriage robbery, we don't even get married with the consent of our parents, but are unilaterally kidnapped by the so-called husbands. If you can let us choose our favorite husbands ourselves, our loyalty to our husbands will not be inferior to your women."

"Since you say so-"

Roy said with a smile.

"Then I will let you choose each other, and you Dorian girls can choose the men you like."
