Chapter 266 I Am Not Typhon's Sister
In Greek mythology, the goddess of love Aphrodite was degraded to a female version of a popular lover, but she never had any intersection with the male version of the popular lover Zeus.
This can almost be said to be an unsolved mystery in Greek mythology, because Zeus did not even let go of his nominal sisters Demeter and Hera.
Now it seems that the reason why Zeus did not take action against Aphrodite is because the other goddesses were only nominally set as Zeus's sisters.
However, Adad, the origin of Zeus, and Astarte, the origin of Aphrodite, are real brothers and sisters in history.
Cyprus Island.
Lydra City.
Royal Palace.
Luo Yin and Amphitryon looked at the goddess of love Aphrodite and the King of Cyprus Alasia in the hall, thinking about reasons to persuade them to help.

Although the origin of Zeus can be traced back to the storm god of the Semites, and the ancestors of the Mycenaeans can be traced back from Crete to the Semites on the eastern coast of the eastern Mediterranean, the Semites do not refer to a single ethnic group, but a general term for all ethnic groups living between the eastern coast of the Mediterranean and the Mesopotamian Basin.
According to regional divisions, the Semites living in the ancient Phoenician region on the eastern coast of the eastern Mediterranean are called Western Semites or Phoenicians.
The Semites in the central and western parts of the Mesopotamian Basin are also called Eastern Semites.
The branches of the Eastern Semites and Western Semites are further divided, and the Eastern Semites can be further divided into Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians.
The branches of the Western Semites are even more complicated.
Although in the ancient times before the Bronze Age, because these ethnic groups lived in the same area and had the same beliefs, they could be uniformly classified as Semites.
But now in the late Bronze Age, even Zeus has evolved into a thunder god completely different from the storm god. It is impossible for the Mycenaeans to claim that their ancestors were compatriots and their own people with the Cyprus people or even the Cilician pirates.
After all, if we trace the origin carefully, the ancestors of the Mycenaeans in the Phoenician region may be different ethnic groups with the same worship as the Cyprus and Cilician pirates.
"King Alassia! The Cilician pirates must have accumulated unimaginable wealth by plundering the sea. As long as the Kingdom of Cyprus is willing to help us, we can let you get the right to share the spoils."
Hearing Luo Yin's words, Alassia's eyes lit up, and she was obviously moved by Luo Yin's proposal.
After all, as long as the Kingdom of Cyprus and the Mycenaeans' expeditionary fleet join forces, defeating the Cilician pirates will be 100% successful.
After looking at Aphrodite with a look of inquiry, Alassia looked at Luo Yin and Amphitrite and said.
"We can provide you with intelligence about the Cilician pirates, and we will also send a thousand soldiers to attack the Cilician pirates. Afterwards, we will have the right to share the spoils equally."
Share the spoils equally--
For the victory of this expedition, the Mycenaeans sent 3,000 elite warriors.
The Cyprus people only provided intelligence and sent a thousand soldiers to help, and they wanted to take half of the spoils--why don't you go and rob?
Luo Yin and Amphitryon looked at each other, and Amphitryon nodded helplessly.
"As long as the Cilician pirates are successfully defeated, we will share the spoils equally."
Amphitryon agreed to Alassia's lion's mouth, which was also a helpless move.
Because the Mycenaeans were eager to solve the Cilician pirates and protect the safety of the grain transport ship's route.
As long as the Cyprus people could solve the pirate problem, even if Alassia wanted all the spoils, the Mycenaeans could only agree with a pinch of their noses.
After the cooperation between the two sides was confirmed, Alasiya immediately ordered the palace maid to prepare a banquet, and Aphrodite quietly left the hall.
The next day.
Alasiya summoned a fleet of one thousand sailors to attack the Cilicia region with the Mycenaeans' expeditionary fleet.
After a day and a night of sailing.
The next morning, the joint fleet of the Mycenaeans and Cyprus arrived at the Cilicia Plain surrounded by mountains on three sides.
Although the Cilicia region is famous for its abundance of pirates, this plain located in the southeast corner of the Asia Minor Peninsula is also the gateway from the Asia Minor Peninsula to the Mesopotamian Plain, and can become an important hub for land and sea trade.
In the Roman Empire era in real history, the Cilicia Plain was a very prosperous trade area.
The port in the Cilicia region, located in a bay that is concave to the north, is now the base camp for pirate activities.
After the joint fleet of the Mycenaeans and Cyprus entered the bay, hundreds of pirate ships in the Cilicia port immediately responded and took the initiative to attack the joint fleet.
After the soldiers of both sides fought, the pirates were outnumbered and outmatched by the combined fleet, and soon fell into a disadvantage.
Luo Yin and Amphitrite stood on the flagship to command the battle, and were not surprised that the balance of victory tilted towards the combined fleet.
Now the Cilician region is in the period of being conquered by the Hittite Empire for the second time. If the Cilician region has a strong military force, it will definitely cause the Hittite Empire to be wary or even suppress it.
It is precisely because it cannot develop on land that the Cilician region will devote all its efforts to the development of pirate business.
Huhuhuhu——
Just when the pirate ship was blocked by the United Fleet in the port and the unilateral massacre became a foregone conclusion, a fierce storm suddenly came and attacked the warships of the United Fleet with huge power.
Obviously, this is the storm god Typhon, the patron god of the Cilicia pirates, showing his power.
Facing the oncoming storm, the Cypriots immediately summoned their patron goddess Aphrodite.
Feeling the fluctuation of Aphrodite's divine power, Luo Yin turned around and saw Aphrodite descending to the sea in the form of a hundred-meter-tall god, using her right hand to release divine power to eliminate the power of the storm.
"Astartes, do you want to be my enemy?"
Aphrodite came to the battlefield to protect the Cypriots who were attacking the Cilicia pirates. A thunderous voice immediately descended from the sky and asked.
"You actually made an enemy of your own brother. Have you forgotten how powerful I am?"
After saying that, a giant god with a pair of black wings on his back descended from the sky.
"Who is your sister?"
Aphrodite rolled her eyes and said after hearing Typhon's question.
"Although we are all classified as gods worshiped by the Semitic people, so that we are regarded as brother and sister gods. However, the humans who worship the Storm God and the humans who worship the war goddess Astartes obviously do not belong to the same nation. That's why we Identified respectively as the Master of the Gods and the Mistress of the Gods , there is even a story that I am more powerful than you. The relationship between you and me is, at best, that of neighbors born in the same land. Although humans will regard gods born in the same land as sister gods, brother gods, or brother and sister gods. , God of siblings, but I’m not interested in being your sister.”
After hearing Aphrodite's words, Typhon said with a joking smile.
"Are you angry that I didn't take you to Crete and the Peloponnese?"
"It's not me you should really care about!"
Aphrodite said, changing the subject.
"The one who is really attacking you now is not me, but another you."
