Greek mythology divides the entire Greek era into four eras: gold, platinum, bronze, heroes, and black iron. People in the golden age lived in the kingdom of heaven and enjoyed god-like happiness until the demise of the entire era. Zeus destroyed it several times. Human beings create new human beings again.
The current era is the Age of Heroes, because the era when heroes are active in mythology is the Age of Heroes. It is between the Bronze Age and the Black Iron Age. Originally it should belong to the Black Iron Age, but Zeus and other gods came to the earth and Humans gave birth to children, so the demigod heroes born from the union between gods and humans were spread throughout Greece with the royal bloodline, upgrading the original heroic age from the Black Iron Age and dividing it separately.
This is not uncommon in history. For example, the Three Kingdoms Period in the East should have been attributed to the Han Dynasty, but it was too hot, so it was listed separately. The Warring States Period should also be classified as the Muromachi Period, which was also listed separately because it was too hot.
The era that Hercules lived in was the heroic era in mythology. Considering that this world is not a mythical world, it can only be divided according to real history. The era that Hercules lived in was the prehistoric era of Greek civilization.
After the prehistoric era came the city-state era, the Homeric era, the classical era, the Ptolemaic dynasty, the ancient Roman period, the Byzantine period, the Ottoman period and later the Greek Kingdom and the Greek Republic.
It's a pity that this is neither the heroic age in myth nor the prehistoric era classified by real historians. According to whether Heracles, Atalanta and all the Greeks he met, they spoke in an American English accent. William knew that this was the world of a certain American blockbuster related to Hercules. As for the times and history, it was obviously wrong. American Hollywood was already quite dedicated to foreign-themed movies like that.
According to Hercules, it is now 358 BC, and the east of each other is still in the glorious Spring and Autumn Period. According to later generations, this era should belong to the end of the Classical Era, because Thrace's neighbor King Philip of Macedon has already ascended the throne, and he was the father of Alexander the Great.
In other words, Alexander the Great will be born soon. If we don’t hurry up and unify all of Greece before the next son of Zeus, then the unification of Greece will have nothing to do with Hercules. .
A person's success not only depends on his personal efforts and talents, but also depends on historical opportunities and the tide of the times.
Public opinion in later generations often refers to the rise of an Eastern dynasty, the establishment of a country, and the enthronement of its monarch as destiny. In fact, there is no destiny. In fact, there is no destiny. The textbooks of later generations have long written clearly. Clearly, it is nothing more than the choice of history and the people.
The rise and fall of dynasties are inevitable in the great era. Whoever's system is superior and whose leadership is more popular among the people will be favored by history and chosen by the people.
Only in troubled times can dragons and snakes rise. If we live in a peaceful era, if any dragon or snake wants to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor after the founding of the country, it can be easily suppressed by just a few officers from the police station.
In the classical era, the entire Greece already had a basis for unification. In 335 BC, that is, 23 years later, the future King Alexander of Macedonia had unified all Greek city-states except Sparta.
Hercules was silent. He had doubts in his heart. He had already thought of retreating to the mountains and forests and escaping to a wild land outside of civilization to live in seclusion. He had already wanted to kill him for his own sake. The thought of atonement for his wife and children, until William appeared, made him very confused and confused.
"I just want to be a good husband and a good father. I don't want to unify the whole of Greece and become the king of kings, let alone the idea of being a king. I know that you are my future son, but your appearance means nothing to me. I was completely unprepared for an accident. I think you must be the son of Goddess Hebe, but I am not your father yet, I am just a mortal."
Hercules looked hesitant under William's questioning. Even the unparalleled hero showed the attitude of a little daughter here.
"You didn't kill your wife, let alone your two sons, you didn't
Blood rage, someone killed your wife and your two sons. You don't need to atone for your sins at all. Even if you want to atone for your sins, nothing can make you more honorable and wash away your sins than unifying the whole of Greece. People are always tolerant of great heroes. "
William admonished, standing here in front of him was Hercules, a great hero. Even if he was admonishing him as his son, he still had his own independent thoughts and will. He had his own view of right and wrong and will of good and evil, and Not wanting to start a fight, William couldn't treat him as his puppet.
Hercules accomplished twelve great feats, the contents of which are not determined, so unifying all of Greece could be one of them, or even several of them.
People are tolerant of heroes. Qin Shihuang unified the world. Even if it is a tyrant who is a warning to later generations of historians and emperors, historians have to praise him in the history books as the emperor of the ages. When the Ming Dynasty general Qi Jiguang became a national hero, his corruption became unworthy of mention, and the French became more tolerant of the chaotic private life of their hero emperor Napoleon.
It is nothing more than this in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
"What, what did you say?" Hercules clenched his fists and his eyes shone brightly. He stared at William as if he wanted to kill someone.
"You mean glory."
"No, you know who killed my wife and son."
"I know."
"who is it?"
"Eurystheus, King of Athens."
"That's impossible, he's my friend."
Hercules looked at William in disbelief. He could not think of this answer. In his eyes, Eurystheus, the king of Athens, had always been his friend. It was his discerning eye who chose him to complete various tasks in the army. This great task was what earned him the honor second only to the king-like "Guardian of Athens", and it was also his decision at the citizens' assembly to banish him, not to die.
"It's very simple. Whoever benefits the most after you are exiled from Athens is the mastermind behind this. There is no doubt that it is the King of Athens. He is full of fear of you. It is reasonable for him to exile you."
William said indifferently, as Hercules became king, the legend of Zeus's son resounded throughout Thrace. He, Heracles, the grandson of Zeus, also became famous, and even he had not seen it. Live your own destiny with gold coins recharging so quickly.
According to Greek tradition, if Heracles and Hebe built their own temples, not only would Hebe's temple have Heracles in it, but Hercules's temple would also have Hebe. He can get into it too.
This kind of thing is not surprising at all. As long as a person becomes an emperor, his name and title will become part of history and the era. Along with the time he is in power, everyone will be divided by his era. For example, the Showa macho guy and the Heisei loser.
Even if he is in power for one day, his reign name is only one day. For example, the reign name of Emperor Tongzhi is Qixiang. History buffs will never ignore this reign name. His wife and children will be recorded in the annals of history, and They are all test points to be tested.
What's more, Heracles was not only a king, but also a god, especially since he unified the entire Greece.
"Do you need me to replay the scene in front of you?"
The Three Gold Coins of Destiny fell into William's hands. With the Three Gold Coins of Destiny having so much energy, he became even more comfortable in using the Gold Coins of Destiny.
