I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 321 Atamas and Aeolus

City of Iolkas.

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

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

Because there are more ways to obtain food than other tribes, the Aeolus tribe has now developed into the Dorian tribe with the largest population.

When night falls.

Atamas, the leader of the Atamas tribe, finally brought his son Phryxos and a group of personal guards to the city of Aiolkas in the Aeolus tribe.

Upon hearing the news of Atamas' arrival, Aeolus personally greeted the guests with his son Critus and grandson Aeson, and brought them to the hall of his stone house.

After the host and guests sat down, Aeolus asked Atamas suspiciously.

"Dear brother, why did you come to me with Phryxos?"

The Dorians practiced a system of two kings.

There are usually two leaders in a tribe. When one leader takes the tribe soldiers out 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 be listed as the double king with himself.

The twin kings of the Atamas tribe are the great leader Atamas and his son Phryxos.

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

After hearing Aeolus' question, Atamas immediately said with tears.

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

Savages of the South—

Aeolus couldn't help laughing when Atamas called the sheep-like Pilaski a barbarian.

For they the Dorians are the real savages, and the Pilaskis of 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 in the south, and now my people may have all been killed. Even if they are still alive, they have been reduced to Pyra Prisoner of the Skies. Even my daughter, Helle, fell into the hands of the Pilaski, and may have been regarded by them as the highest sacrifice to the gods."

Atamas didn't seem to be lying, Aeolus said with a serious face.

"Atamas, how could the Pilaskis in the south defeat the Dorians on horseback? Even if we don't ride horses, we have no reason 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, we Dorians really have no reason to lose to the Pilaski who cultivated the land. Those Pilaski who attacked the Atamas tribe all use a black metal weapon that can easily Kill our warriors."

"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 haven't even heard of them. Fate is so unfair. Before, the Pilaski people had advanced bronze weapons, which prevented us from going south to conquer Pilas base people, and now let them get more powerful weapons."

"Aeolus! This is a crisis not only for our tribe of Atamas, but for all Dorians. Now the only way we can defeat the Pilaski is to go to Mount Pelion and seek the High Priest Chiron s help."

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

According to the tradition of the Dorians, when boys are seven years old, they will be organized into a team to live a collective military life.

But this is the treatment of ordinary Dorian boys.

The sons of the leaders of the Dorian tribes will be sent to the high priest Chiron for education.

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

"Seek the help of High Priest Chiron—do you want High Priest Chiron to unite our three remaining tribes, or do you want High Priest Chiron to summon the Great Sieron?"

"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 residence of the Atamas tribe.

More than 1000 Doric women slaughtered cattle and sheep under the supervision of Thebes soldiers, and made a sumptuous dinner for the soldiers of Loi.

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

"Do you know why you failed? Because you Dorians are a barbaric and backward civilization. Your ancestors taught you to be thieves, robbers, 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 kill all our men and degrade us women into slaves. What is the difference between your actions and our Dorians?"

"How stupid!"

Roy shook his head and said.

"I killed all your men because you Dorian men are hopeless. To save the Dorians, the only way to save the Dorians is to let the civilized Piraskis give birth to new Dorians with you. Because you Dorian men can only marry when they are over 30 years old, so you Dorian women can only marry husbands who are more than ten years older than yourself, and even enough to be your father. This is a deformed marriage, so the Dorian culture There is no requirement for a wife to be faithful to her husband, but that is undeniably wrong."

Roy raised his left hand and pointed to 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 to be your master and husband. Because this is the correct marriage of ages, so you You must abandon the wrong concept of marriage and be faithful to your husband like the women in the Kingdom of Athens. Only when your husband dies or you divorce your husband can you be with other men."

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

Heller couldn't help but said.

"We Dorian women are not only forced to marry husbands who are ten years older, but because of the custom of snatching marriages, we don't even get married with the consent of our parents, but are unilaterally snatched away by the so-called husband. If you Let us choose the husband we like, and our loyalty to our husbands will not be lost to your women."

"Since you say so—"

Roy said with a smile.

"Then I'll let you choose each other. You Dorian girls can choose the man you like."
