The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 725 - 135 Know Me, Blame Me, Only The Iliad_3

Chapter 725: Chapter 135: Know Me, Blame Me, Only ‘The Iliad’_3 Chapter 725: Chapter 135: Know Me, Blame Me, Only ‘The Iliad’_3 “Why?”

“Because this is ‘Heavenly Destiny’!”

Luo En answered leisurely, a certain resolution in his eyes.

The Trojan War held an extraordinary significance within the Age of the Greek Gods, belonging to a pivotal node of destiny that was difficult to surpass.

For example, because of her devotion to the Virgin Goddess Artemis, Helen vowed to remain chaste and did not marry Agamemnon’s brother, becoming the catalyst for the Trojan War. However, her sister, Clytemnestra, wife of King Agamemnon, took Helen’s place and eloped with the Prince of Troy, Paris.

This proves that minor disturbances could not prevent this destined battle from arising.

On the other hand, due to its strategic geographic location, Troy was situated directly in Greece’s path of expansion. Its abundant treasures and population made the Greeks drool with desire, leading to constant “warm and profound exchanges” between Trojans and the Greek city-states. This place was almost a regular checkpoint for the Divine Blood Heroes.

...

If I recall correctly, before the full outbreak of the Trojan War, old raiders like Hercules and Telamon turned raiding Troy, robbing money and people, into a classic scenario.

The current King Priam of Troy, the father of Prince Paris, succeeded the throne because he personally witnessed his father and brother being slain, and he narrowly escaped the same fate, scaring him into assuming the position.

By the way, the one who did the killing was Hercules, and the one who kidnapped people was Telamon.

Telamon’s current wife, the mother of Great Aeas, was that unfortunate Trojan princess.

Of course, the slain former King of Troy was no saint—his favorite activities included intercepting Greek merchants, capturing Greeks to enslave them for his construction projects.

So many Greek bones lay buried beneath Troy, making it an easily defensible yet hard-to-assail strategic pass.

Therefore, this attracted a fierce retaliation from the Divine Blood Heroes of various city-states.

Had these old raiders not been conscripted collectively onto the ship Argo for an expedition, the walls of Troy might have been flattened long ago.

Also, learning from the older generation’s lessons, old King Priam stayed in Troy to develop safely; even with his son Hector’s help and Fate’s blessings, while Troy grew continually stronger, he was always devoted to making peace with the Greek city-states without any thoughts of avenging his father and brother.

Before the outbreak of the Trojan War, due to friction with the Mycenaeans over interests, King Priam commanded his sons Hector and Paris to lead a fleet to Mycenae for peace talks with King Agamemnon.

However, relations were not repaired, and the beloved son Paris whom the old king had retrieved not only secretly undermined King Agamemnon, but also abducted many beautiful maidservants and treasures from the Mycenaean Palace.

Enraged, King Agamemnon summoned all Greeks to assemble and retaliate, thus commencing the Trojan War.

The reason King Agamemnon could rally such support was not just because of his position as the Alliance Hierarch of Mycenae, but it also highlighted the Greek’s sentiment towards the affluent city-state of Troy.

In the end, whether it was Helen or Clytemnestra, they were merely pretexts for launching the war.

For their respective development and to compete for the attention of Fate, the Greeks and Trojans were destined to fight eventually.

In the original trajectory of destiny, because the massive Trojan War involved nearly all the Greek city-states and deeply tied the interests of various city-states with those of the pantheon of gods, the gods had no choice but to step in one after another.

Since this was an inevitable event, Luo En estimated that the gods who had disappeared for a century would also appear one by one because of this.

Then, lurking in the shadows, reassembling this power step by step, unraveling all the mysteries, he could finally settle accounts with His Majesty, the King of Gods on Mount Olympus.

And if he was not mistaken, the Divine War triggered by Troy and the Greek city-states would also be the last collective descent of the Greek gods.

Luo En touched the frost-green pendant on his chest, raising his head meaningfully towards the stars, barely discernible Mount Olympus.
