Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 142 The Muse Who Can Sing and Dance

"elder sister……"

While Luo Yin was observing the two goddess statues, Yinsmene walked up to the statue of Themis, stretched out her right hand and touched the cheek of the statue of Themis and said.

"Now you can finally rest peacefully."

"Your sister is Antigone, right?"

Luo Yin walked up behind Yin Simene, looked at her profile in confusion and asked.

"I didn't come here specifically to see the two statues of gods. Why don't Themis and Mnemosyne come out to see me?"

"Although we won the first Theban War ten years ago, sister Themis was also severely damaged when fighting against Zeus and Athena. After the war, she fell into a long sleep."

"Then your identity is time——"

Before Luo Yin could finish speaking, Yin Simene turned to face Luo Yin and said.

"I am Insmene, the youngest daughter of Oedipus. Don't you already know that?"

After saying that, Yinsmene walked outside the temple.

Looking at her beautiful long hair tied with a golden headband and graceful figure, Luo Yin couldn't help but feel a little restless at the distance between the two that sometimes narrowed and sometimes widened.

After chasing Insmene outside the temple, Luo Yin happened to see Insmene ordering the priestesses of the temple to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony.

While the priestesses were preparing the sacrifices, Luo Yin looked at Yinsmene's figure and murmured.

"Did I guess wrong? Like our ancestor Harmonia, she is actually a priestess serving the goddess as a royal princess?"

After the priestesses offered sacrifices at the altar, Insmene walked to the center of the circular altar.

As one of the three priestesses played the lyre, one beat the tambourine with her hands, and the other played the flute, Insmene also danced on the altar to perform the dance of sacrifice to the gods.

Just when Luo Yin thought that Yinsmene was only performing a dance to worship the gods, a beautiful pastoral song came out of Yinsmene's mouth and echoed around the altar with a good echo effect.

Listening to the beautiful songs, Luo Yin closed his eyes and seemed to be able to see a girl holding a shepherd's staff walking at the foot of Mount Helicon, singing pastoral songs while using her shepherd's staff to drive sheep and cattle.

Looking at the picture that came to his mind, Luo Yin said with a bright smile on his face.

"I see... When Themis, the goddess of justice, used force to protect Thebes, Mnemosyne was able to become the patron saint alongside Themis because she did not just provide accurate predictions of time for the royal family. Goddess. The Thebes area is a mountainous area. From the ancient times when animal husbandry was more important than agriculture, Mnemosyne was the protector of mountain shepherds. Perhaps Mnemosyne only used the power of time to predict the future. The goddess of time and the protector of shepherds. Later, with the evolution of time, the priestesses used musical instruments to perform dances to worship the gods, and the shepherds sang pastoral songs while grazing. These were also absorbed by Mnemosyne, making her an ancient goddess. Muse. It is precisely because Mnemosyne is the muse that in the theogony created by humans hundreds of years later, Mnemosyne will become the mother goddess of the nine muses.”

At this point, Luo Yin opened his eyes and stared at Yin Simene's beautiful figure dancing to the music. When her skirt flew with the movements, Luo Yin couldn't help but widen his eyes.

I don't know how long it took before the sound of the priestesses playing musical instruments disappeared. Yinsmene also ended her dance to worship the gods and walked towards Luo Yin from the center of the altar.

"How long are you going to be in a daze?"

Hearing Yin Simene's voice, Luo Yin suddenly woke up and said.

"Sorry! I just suddenly remembered... Helen performed the same wonderful dance to worship the gods."

After speaking, Luo Yin looked at Yin Simene's beautiful black hair and delicate face.

After Yin Simene's bulging face showed a dissatisfied expression, Luo Yin looked down and looked at her slender figure wrapped in a black robe, her slim waist tightly tightened by a golden belt, and she wore golden strappy sandals under the skirt. beautiful ankle.

"I remember Helen once asked me which one is more beautiful, her or the Muse. Because I haven't seen the Muse yet, I didn't answer Helen's question. But now, I seem to be able to answer Helen's question. "

After hearing Luo Yin's words, Yin Simene, who originally acted as if he was indifferent to everything, suddenly stared at Luo Yin with nervous eyes and said.

"What's your answer? Which one is more beautiful to you, Hera—Helen or the Muses?"

"You are already a twenty-five-year-old aunt, but you want to compete with Helen who is only ten years old to see who is more beautiful - it seems that you are also an ordinary girl!"

Yin Simene blushed with embarrassment, turned her back to Luo Yin and said.

"I don't care about this kind of thing! Even if you don't ask me, I know that young Helen must be more beautiful in your eyes."

"Although Helen is young, she is not yet old enough to get married, and you are already a ripe fruit that can be picked."

Luo Yin stretched out his hands, hugged Yin Simene's slim waist from behind, held her in his arms and said.

“I think the Muses are more beautiful than Helen—that’s my answer.”

"If the person you are holding in your arms is Helen, you will also say that Helen is more beautiful!"

Well--

"You seem to know me better than I know myself."

Hearing that Luo Yin did not deny it, Yin Simene immediately wanted to break away from Luo Yin's arms.

Seeing this scene, the three priestesses also wanted to come over and help.

"roll--"

Luo Yin immediately activated his divine power to release his divine power and shouted angrily at the three priestesses.

"This is not something you can intervene in."

After the three priestesses stood there blankly, Luo Yin forcibly picked up Yin Simene in a princess hug, and then strode towards the temple.

After entering the temple and closing the temple door, Luo Yin carried Yinsmene to the middle of the two goddess statues and said.

"When Athena was still using the name Metis, Perseus failed in the war to conquer the city of Athens, so he made up a story about killing the Gorgon Medusa, blaspheming Metis who made him taste the humiliation of defeat. . Later, Poseidon and Athena competed for the Attica region, and Athena made great sacrifices to eliminate the city-states that wanted to worship Poseidon. In order to avenge the defeat and humiliation brought by Athena to Poseidon, the Mycenaeans made up another story. The story of Poseidon blaspheming Medusa and asking Medusa to bear him two sons. Hundreds of years later, humans even set up Medusa in Roman mythology with the evil intention of blaspheming Athena. Becoming the priestess of Athena, Poseidon blasphemed her incarnation Medusa in Athena's temple in front of her—"

"Let me go quickly, I'm not interested in knowing about Athena and Zeus."

Feeling Yin Simene's feeble struggle, Luo Yin hugged her slender waist harder and whispered into her ear.

"Although Poseidon's desecration of Medusa, the incarnation of Athena, in the temple of Athena is a story made up by people hundreds of years later in Roman mythology, but I feel that I may be able to create another great deed - in Themis and the idol of Mnemosyne."

Yin Simene's body immediately froze in Luo Yin's arms as if turned to stone.

"That kind of thing..."

"You want to ask me why I want to do this?"

Luo Yin teased with a joking smile on his face.

"Because I want to really get to know you, and the best way is to ask you directly about your body."
