Chapter 261 The Prototype of the Storm God Typhon

Royal Palace.

The courtyard flowerbed with flowers in full bloom.

After Lainus inherited the throne with the support of Creon and the nobles, Luo Yin and Lainus came to the courtyard together.

Looking at the butterflies and bees flying around in the flowerbed, Lainus said with a smile.

"Chrysippus! Although my uncle Amphion and your aunt Niobe are dead, this does not affect our relationship as distant cousins. You will live with me in Thebes, and I will definitely take good care of you as a brother."

Luo Yin shook his head expressionlessly.

"Lainus, I have no reason to stay in Thebes at all. I plan to leave Thebes according to Mnemosyne's request and personally find the truth I want."

After speaking, Luo Yin spread his white wings behind him.

Then, under the incredible and shocked gaze of Lainus, Luo Yin's body turned into a white stream of light and flew into the sky.

"Chrysippus--"

Looking at Luo Yin's flying figure, Lainus said with a painful face.

"Are you still unwilling to accept my feelings for you?"

On the vast sea between the Attica Peninsula and the Argos region.

Luo Yin fell from the sky and landed on an uninhabited island.

When a fleet carrying grain came to the island to replenish fresh water, Luo Yin asked the leader of the fleet for help and left the island with the fleet.

Because the goal of this fleet was to go to the Argos region guarded by Zeus.

After a day and a night of drifting on the sea, the port of Tiryns appeared in front of the fleet the next morning.

Just when the leader of the fleet ordered the sailors to paddle with all their strength and let the fleet sail to the port of Tiryns at full speed, many small boats suddenly appeared on the sea, rushing towards the grain fleet like an arrow from a string.

The sharp-eyed leader of the fleet saw the sailors on the small boats clearly and immediately shouted in panic.

"The son of Typhon is here, everyone hurry up to fight."

Son of Typhon--

Hearing the words of the leader of the fleet, Luo Yin immediately looked at the small boats approaching the fleet curiously.

Although the sailors on the boat were murderous, they were all ordinary humans, and there was no demigod or god who met the identity of [Son of Typhon].

In a blink of an eye, the sons of Typhon rowed their famous boats and entangled with the grain transport fleet.

Seeing that the sailors of the grain transport fleet were all ready for battle, the sons of Typhon shouted angrily.

"Hurry up and lay down your weapons and surrender. As long as you hand over the grain and goods, we promise not to hurt you or take away your ship."

It was not until then that Luo Yin suddenly said.

"It turns out that the so-called sons of Typhon are pirates!"

Typhon - this is a very famous name in Greek mythology.

In the myths made up by people hundreds of years later, Typhon was set as the son of Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, and a Titan god of the same generation as the twelve Titan gods.

Typhon not only gave birth to Nemean Lion, Cerberus, Sphinx and other mythical beasts with Echidna, the goddess with human head and snake body, but also competed with Zeus for the throne of the Supreme God.

There are many mythological versions about the war between Typhon and Zeus.

In some normal versions, Zeus defeated Typhon with his wisdom and strength.

But in the version where Typhon was confused with Set, the storm god in the Egyptian region, because Set, the storm god, once reigned over the Egyptian gods as the king of gods, there was a story that Typhon defeated Zeus and the gods were afraid of Typhon and turned into various animals to escape from Mount Olympus.

In fact, Mount Olympus is a sacred mountain for nomadic peoples.

After the Dorians invaded the Peloponnese Peninsula and seized hegemony, Mount Olympus became the residence of the gods in mythology.

So it is obvious that the myth of Typhon was completely fabricated by people hundreds of years later.

As for the prototype of Typhon in reality, it is not a native Greek god, but a storm god from the eastern Mediterranean.

Although Set, the storm god who once became the king of gods in Egypt, is one of the prototypes of Typhon, Typhon is not the incarnation of Set.

Because if you have a deep understanding of Egyptian mythology and history, you will find that Set, the storm god of Egypt, is itself a very complex god.

For thousands of years, Set, as a native Egyptian god, has integrated both the desert gods in the west of Egypt and the foreign gods in the east of Egypt.

Typhon and Set are confused, not because of Set's attributes as a native Egyptian god, nor because of Set's attributes as a desert god, but because of Set's attributes as a foreign god-the storm god.

In other words, the real prototype of Typhon is not Set, but the storm god who is confused with Set.

After seeing the fleet leader refuse to surrender to Typhon's son-the pirates, the sailors and the pirates began to fight, and Luo Yin began to think about the reason why Typhon's son appeared in this era.

In mythology, Typhon appeared after Zeus imprisoned the first generation of Titans and competed with Zeus for the rule of Mount Olympus.

This is obviously a fabricated myth, and there is no real prototype to explore.

"Although the myth of Typhon is completely fictitious and it is impossible to explore the time when Typhon appeared, Typhon's wife Echidna has a timeline that can be explored. Theogony fabricated by people hundreds of years later, Echidna Dena is set as the daughter of Phorcys, the father of all monsters, but there is also a version where Echidna is set as the daughter of Chrysaor and the sea goddess Calliroe. Chrysaor is Per. The birthday of Arceus slaying Medusa The son of Poseidon, that is to say, Chrysaor is a contemporary of Perseus. Echidna, as the daughter of Chrysaor and Calliroe, is a contemporary of Perseus. The children of Zeus were contemporaries. The time when Typhon and Echidna gave birth to many sons of Typhon and launched war against Zeus was the time of Perseus's grandsons. And now, I am living in it. The days when the grandson of Perseus ruled Mycenae.”

"If the myth of Typhon has a reasonable realistic prototype, it is obvious that Zeus symbolizes the Mycenaeans, and Typhon symbolizes the pirates. The pirates plundered the fleets that transported food to the Mycenaeans. It was Typhon who launched the attack on Zeus. war. In mythology, Typhon’s power is so great that The competition with Zeus for Mount Olympus was probably because pirates plundered too much food, which even caused the Mycenaeans to have an existential crisis. The reason why Typhon, the storm god, became a symbol of pirates was because these pirates worshiped this storm god. The true name of the Storm God cannot be Typhon."

Just when Luo Yin wanted to explore the origin of Typhon more deeply, a fleet sailed quickly from the port of Tiryns and joined the battle between the grain transport fleet and the pirate ship.

After the pirates fled hastily in the face of attacks from both sides, the leader of the grain transport fleet said to the leader of the fleet who came to the rescue.

"These Sons of Typhon are becoming more and more rampant. Can't we find a way to deal with them?"

The leader of the rescue fleet said with a smile.

"Now in order to deal with these sons of Typhon, the royal family and nobles are discussing with the city of Athens to join forces and launch a war against the hometown of these sons of Typhon."
