Chapter 254 Leda and Althea Seeking Marriage

The city of Calydon.

Luo Yin and Layoos entered the streets of the city and asked curiously.

"Layos! In this era of barter, you have nothing except gorgeous clothes and shoes that can be used to exchange for what you want, so why are you still here?"

Layoos said as he led Luo Yin towards the palace.

"Dear Chrysippus, although we have nothing to exchange for the items we need, we can go to the palace and ask for help from King Portaon of Calydon."

"In other words, you want to be a beggar who asks for alms from others——"

Before he finished speaking, Luo Yin felt that his description was a little inappropriate.

King Portaon of Calydon was not a fool and could not satisfy Layos' request just because Layos asked him for help.

If Portaon saw that Laios was a descendant of Cadmus and the legitimate heir to the throne of Thebes, Portaon's assistance to Laios could only be regarded as an investment in the future.

Both parties are willing to fight and suffer. Layos does not really owe Portaon, so naturally he cannot be described as a beggar.

When Layos wandered to the Inlis area, the reason why King Pelops of Inlis was willing to take Layos in was because he felt that Layos might become the king of Thebes in the future, so he made friends with him in advance. The future king of Thebes.

royal palace.

When Luo Yin and Layoos came to the door, they heard faint laughter coming from the hall, and it seemed that a lively banquet was going on.

After Layos revealed his identity to the palace guards, King Portaon of Calydon, who learned the news, immediately sent a palace maid to greet Layos.

After Luoyin and Laoyinus entered the hall, they saw King Portaon of Calydon wearing a crown and his sons Oeneus, Agrios, Alcatos and other princes, following a group of people. A young prince whose gorgeous clothes were somewhat shabby held a banquet.

Seeing Luo Yin and Layoos, Portaon greeted them warmly.

"Young Layos, please join our banquet with your friends and let me introduce you to each other's identities."

Luo Yin and Layoos sat down at the banquet table in accordance with the guest's etiquette and the host's request.

Portaon glanced at Luo Yin curiously, and then said to Luo Yin and Layoos.

"Let me introduce you to you. I am surrounded by my sons Oeneus, Agrios, and Alcatos, and the guest I am entertaining is Tyndareus, the prince of Sparta. Tyndareus He was supposed to inherit the throne after his father's death, but was replaced by his brother His brother Hippocoon usurped the throne and was forced to become a wandering royal family. Tyndareus! My new guest is Prince Laion of Thebes, who was supposed to inherit the throne after his father's death. Relative Amphion took away the throne and was forced to become a wandering royal family."

Speaking of this, Portaon couldn't help but joked with a smile.

"Layius! Tyndareus! Your fates are really similar, and the end of your wanderings is the Yinlis region and the Aetolia region, which are across the sea. This cannot be explained by coincidence. It's like the gods used the same template when weaving your destiny."

Hearing these words, Layos and Tyndareus couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Because in real history, they were robbed of the throne and became a wandering royal family. It is very likely that this is a fabricated false story.

After all, Tyndareus wandered from the Sparta region in the southern Peloponnese Peninsula to the remote Aetolia region, which was obviously somewhat out of touch with reality.

Laius was expelled by Amphion and Niobe, and even ran to Niobe's brother Pelops to seek asylum. This is a very obvious hint that this is a very false and absurd story.

Portaon didn't pay attention to Layos's reaction, and looked at Luo Yin curiously.

"Layos, can you introduce your companions to me?"

"sure!"

Layos nodded and said.

"This is my dear friend Chrysippus, the youngest son of King Pelops of Inlys, who protected me in the past."

"You are Chrysippus, Prince of Yinlis——"

Portaon looked at Luo Yin in surprise and said.

"I heard that you are a demigod born to King Pelops of Yinlis and a goddess. Is this true?"

"I am indeed closer to gods than to humans."

After Luo Yin answered calmly, Layoos continued.

"Dear King Portaion! We came to your palace in the hope that you can provide us with food and carriages to help us return to Thebes. If I can become the king of Thebes in the future, I will definitely repay you. "

"no problem!"

Portaon agreed to Layos' request without hesitation.

After all, the Kingdom of Thebes is not only a powerful city-state, but also a neighbor of the Kingdom of Calydon.

Providing trivial help to Laius now, in the future when Laius becomes king of Thebes, Portaon will be rewarded a hundred times a thousand times.

Oeneus suddenly said at this time.

"Lainus! Chrysippus! If you are in a hurry to return to Thebes now, I am afraid you will miss an important opportunity. Now the King of Aetolia, Testius, is looking for future husbands for his two daughters, Althea and Leda. Tyndareus and I plan to go to the Aetolia region to ask Testius to marry his two daughters. Do you two want to go together?"

The Aetolia region is located to the west of the Calydon region. In the Greek mythology world, it is a marginal region with very little presence.

As adjacent regions, the Calydon region and the Aetolia region seem to have a very close relationship, so the patron saint of Calydon, Althea, and the sea goddess Leda who protects the Aetolia region are set as sisters in the mythology.

Thinking that Leda will become Clytemnestra and Inphigenia in the future and become his women, Luo Yin frowned and looked at Tyndareus and said.

"Tyndarius! Where do you get the confidence to propose to Leda? From a practical point of view, the Aetolia region and the Sparta region are not only separated by the Gulf of Corinth, but also by the Inlis region and the Arcadia region. If you marry the princess of Aetolia, it will not help you regain the throne. What reason does the Aetolian King Testios have to marry Leda to you? After all, from a practical point of view, even if you become the king of Sparta, you can't provide any help when the Aetolia region is invaded by foreign enemies. In order to maximize your interests through marriage, you should propose to the princess of the Kingdom of Mycenae, the Kingdom of Pylos or the Kingdom of Arcadia, because they can help you regain the throne. The Aetolian King Testios should also marry Leda to the prince of the neighboring country and form an alliance with the neighboring country through marriage."

Faced with Luo Yin's question, Tyndareus said helplessly.

"Although from a practical point of view, I have no reason to propose to Leda, and Leda has no reason to marry me, but I must propose to Leda."

"I understand!"

Luo Yin teased with a playful smile.

"Because the myths made up by people hundreds of years later are set up like this, so you must wander from Sparta to Aetolia to marry Leda."
