"Eurystheus!"

Hercules roared angrily, like an angry lion, and his anger turned into flames that seemed to burn the whole of Greece.

In the light and shadow, it was the three-headed dog of the underworld descending on his mansion in Athens, and the person holding the three-headed dog was none other than King Eurystheus of Athens.

Everything has been understood. King Eurystheus of Athens was afraid of himself, so when he returned to his home in Athens and fell asleep, he led vicious dogs to attack his family, and at the same time framed the crime of killing his wife and children. to himself, and ultimately expelled himself from Athens.

Only the crime of killing his wife and children could get the Athenian citizens' assembly to agree to expel him.

He could not forgive the King of Athens Eurystheus, and he wanted to take revenge on the King of Athens. At this time, Hercules' heart was dominated by hatred, and his anger even overwhelmed his reason.

Heracles' nephew Iolaus looked at his angry uncle and wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but was pulled away by William.

Sing, goddess, of the wrath of Achilles, son of Peleus!

His rage led to this disaster that cost the Greeks a lot of money, sending countless heroic souls into the underworld, leaving their bodies to rot and become food for wild beasts.

In a daze, the poem written by the bard Homer rang in Iolaos' mind. It described that in order to compete for Helen, Queen of Sparta, the kings and princes of all Greece united to form a Greek coalition to attack the Kingdom of Troy. , and the story is centered on Achilles' anger.

Iolaus looked at his uncle who was in an angry state. In that angry state, his eyes seemed to choose people to devour, and his furious appearance had lost his human reason, just like a real beast.

Hercules' fist hit the pillar of the palace, and the entire Thracian palace was shaken by this earth-shattering blow. The mercenaries, army representatives, and citizens who were eating in the palace all looked at it with dumbfounded eyes. With Hercules.

"Is this guy really human?"

Everyone couldn't help but wonder why Heracles, who was about to ascend the throne of the king, not only didn't look happy at all, but also called the name of the King of Athens at this time. People are extremely scared.

Princess Erginia held her child Arius, stroking his hair, and comforting her child's emotions. Her father and his general were already imprisoned at this time. Whether he lives or dies depends on Hercule. Whether he is particular about it or not, thinking about the legend that when he was at the peak of his power in Athens, he went crazy and killed his wife and children, and was expelled from Athens by the King of Athens, which made him feel uneasy. .

As long as any reasonable person wants to ascend the throne of the king reasonably and legally, he must give preferential treatment to his former queen and former princess. The change of a dynasty in Greece must be gentle, at least on the surface, and the new monarch must marry The queen or princess of the former king has been a tradition in Greece since ancient times. But when faced with a beast that is dominated by anger and has lost its mind, no one can predict what he will do.

In Greece, the anger of a lord was not only a personal emotion but also the anger of a nation.

The Trojan prince Paris abducted the Spartan king's queen Helen. To the Spartan king, this was a man violating another man's property and dignity. As a victim, he could only vent his anger and take revenge on the Trojan prince. Paris and Troy, or the Spartan king would lose his dignity forever.

"Hera!"

"Hera!"

"Hera!"

Hercules rushed out of the banquet hall of the palace and ran towards the palace square. In everyone's eyes, they only felt a gust of wind blowing by, and Heracles had disappeared. Autolycus reacted and said to his companions, "We have to go out and see, we can't let him do anything stupid."

After Autolycus finished speaking, everyone woke up and ran towards the palace square, where they saw Hercules standing at the foot of the statue of Hera.

Hercules stood under the statue of Hera. Compared with the statue of 40 to 50 meters high, Hercules was only 1.95 meters tall. He looked so small anyway. Hercules bit his lip. , looking up at Hera with red eyes, aggrieved and helpless, but he still held his mace and stood under the statue of the god unyielding, giving him a sense of sublimity.

"Queen Hera, if you have any dissatisfaction with me, just do it to me. Why do you do it to my wife and children?"

Hercules roared loudly, and his roar alarmed the entire Thracian army. At the same time, countless fleeing civilians were also awakened by Hercules' roar. They looked at this issue in fear, Staring at the burly man.

Everyone knows that in order to quell the rebellion in Thrace, the former King Curtis sent his daughter Princess Erginia to Macedonia to invite the legendary son of Zeus, Heracles. However, as soon as she arrived in Thrace, Hera's The statue of the god disappeared, and everyone was panicked, thinking that Hera had abandoned Thrace in order to punish the usurping king Curtis. Finally, with the help of thoughtful people, the soldiers staged a coup and invited Heracles to Ascend to the throne of king.

The commoners watched all this indifferently. For them, it seemed that no matter which king they replaced, their lives actually made no difference.

The highest position in a country is the king or the consul, and the highest authority is the citizens' assembly, and the number of citizens in the entire country is always a minority.

In a city-state, there are three levels: citizens, freedmen, and slaves. Aristotle famously said, "Man is the animal of the city."

The people here mainly refer to the citizens of Greek city-states. Citizens are the main class of Greek society and the core force of city-state politics.

A city-state is a group of citizens, and citizens only have meaning if they live in a group of citizens, the city-state. Without the group of citizens of the city-state, citizens will no longer be citizens. Gentiles had no political rights and could not participate in the political life of the city-state.

Sparta has a population of 250,000 and only 9,000 citizens. Therefore, citizens are the backbone of the army. Don’t expect slaves to protect the city-state, let alone free people, because free people are foreigners, so they have no role in other city-states. Enjoy power without taking responsibility. .

Everyone looked at the angry Hercules and looked at each other, not knowing what to do or how to appease him. Everyone knew that in the legend Hera wanted to destroy Hercules all the time, so she brought him A cruel fate, in which Heracles killed his wife and son because of his blood rage, was seen by everyone as the fate given to Hercules by Hera.

Everything is the will of God and the arrangement of fate. Because of this, the king of Athens did not execute Hercules for killing his wife and children, but expelled and exiled him.

"Hera!"

Hercules called Hera's name, which was not worship and reverence, but challenge and protest. Then he went directly to the feet of the statue and hugged the statue of Hera, as if he wanted to knock it down.

Crazy, crazy, Hercules is simply crazy. Doesn’t he know that the reason why Hercules became king is because the statue of Hera appeared.

"Stop him!" Princess Erginia said, then she calmed down and smiled to herself. How could a human challenge a god? How could a mortal lift the statue of Hera, which was nearly fifty meters tall, and knock it down.

However, just when everyone was thinking this, the statue of the god had been lifted high by Hercules, and the light from the Bull Talisman was flashing on Hercules' back.

"..." Everyone was silent and stunned. Then they saw someone kneeling down, and one after another everyone knelt down.

To use a word of praise from Homer, this is truly a godlike Hercules.
