110 – The Jealousy of Theseus.
Theseus of Wisdom.
If Hercules was a warrior who symbolized strength in the Forest of Heroes, Theseus was a general of resourcefulness and wisdom in this forest.
A resourceful general who, along with Jason, leads an army to fight against the great hero Hercules.
Even in the forest of heroes, he was always one of the most handsome boys and girls, and the Athenian prince who made countless warriors follow him with his innate charisma.
As the prince of Troizen and at the same time the legitimate heir to the throne of Athens, he was always the center of the crowd, and he was the subject of a lot of talk along with Hercules.
Heracles’s only adversary and rival, the only man who can be said to be of the same class.
It was a hero named Theseus, and he was willing to put on the mask of a soft and wise hero forever to achieve what he wanted.
Even if they were just idiots with brains and strength less than one-tenth of his own, compared to lower human soldiers, half-human demigods were a useful talent, and under his command, he could even deal with the monstrous Hercules. Just because.
Also, though he’s a little worse than himself, Jason is also a bookmaker with a pretty brain.
If you take control of them step by step from now on, it will definitely be of great help in reclaiming the Athenian throne in the future.
He had ambition.
Ambition that everyone who was born as a human but has a single line of divine blood dreams of.
To ascend the throne of Athens beyond the throne of Troizen, and eventually rise to the throne of Olympus under the blessings of the gods.
And to take his beautiful goddess as his companion.
He had no doubt that it was an ambition that best suited him as the descendant of Zeus and the owner of wisdom that no one could follow.
From the moment he joined the Forest of Heroes, he knew.
This is the best stage that Zeus has given himself.
Gather his useful soldiers under his command, choose a beautiful and powerful woman from the rear to expand his power,
As a member of the Golden Generation, he gains useful connections, including Hercules.
On top of that, he could receive a request to enter the forest and build up a reputation safely.
Isn’t that really the best?
He was also confident that he was the chosen hero, the only hero that could rival Hercules.
As time passed, the name of Theseus, along with Hercules, resonated throughout Greece.
It is said that several kingdoms are already sending letters to Troizen’s mother, promising their daughters and the throne.
The demigods who are stupid but have high self-esteem have been perfected as faithful soldiers, enchanted by his elegant appearance, soft speech, and achievements he has accumulated.
He proudly became a member of the golden generation along with those who had intellectual and talent comparable to him, and his personal connections were also strengthened.
The graceful and beautiful girls, who inherited the blood of the gods and the lineage of the royal family, were eager to catch his gaze, and even with that skill, no one except Hercules dared to follow them in the forest.
Everything was as he drew.
From that day on, he always had a dream.
A dream in which the brilliant gates of Olympus are wide open to welcome him, and a beautiful goddess who has been peeking from afar greets him wearing a pure white bridal gown.
The journey towards that dream has finally begun.
However, a black curtain began to hang over his dreams.
Dianes.
An unknown minor hero from Pasos.
When he saw the black-haired orphan, the only one other than Hercules who came in equal to Chiron, he was surprised and horrified.
However, he just assumed that he had a background that would become his strong network.
There was no special feeling.
But one day, I heard a strange sound.
‘Hey, Hercules and Dianes…’
‘That madman named Dianes, well, Heracles…’
‘Ah, but it’s Hercules, even if it’s Dianes…’
‘Hercules gave Dianes a blow today?’
From noble mtl dot com
Since when?
His name, which was always called with Hercules, was replaced by the name of Dianes.
It wasn’t just that.
‘Did you hear that back then?’
‘Sound… God Apollo, did you hear it as a sound when you heard that performance?’
‘Ah~ I thought he was so handsome from the first time I saw him…’
‘So strong, full of culture, and even beautiful…’
Among the beautiful girls and women who always surrounded him, Dianes’ name began to rise and fall instead of him.
‘However, I could stand it…’
His ambition wasn’t just to become popular in a grove like this.
Because his target wasn’t the inferior race of half-new blood.
Hercules was originally a prepared being that could not be dealt with as a human being, and no matter how powerful he was, he could not compete with him.
He was originally the legitimate heir of the two kingdoms with Dianes, an orphan with no roots in Pasos, and he, who had been rooted for a long time, did not dare to compare himself from the very beginning.
Even in the midst of all the preparations for his ambition, a piece of the puzzle he hadn’t prepared appeared.
A being who deserves to be used as a companion during his mortal life.
It was Atalanta.
‘Yes, I couldn’t be more suitable as a companion to Theseus than half-faced half-faced ones.’
Although it is said to be slowly declining due to the curse of the gods, Arcadia was a kingdom rich enough to pass as a kind of utopia even in Greece.
And Atalanta was such an important princess that Iasus, the king of Arcadia, even moved his army to lift the curse.
If he returns to Arcadia with such an Atalanta as his companion, he will have not only Troizen and Athenian strongmen, but also the rich finances of Arcadia.
Is that all?
With her beauty that can be compared even with the daughters of Aphrodite and the nymphs of the beautiful forest, and the fact that she learned martial arts from Dianes and became so strong that even Theseus couldn’t tell whether he won or lost, he was comparable to the goddess whom Theseus considered his ideal type. .
If he hadn’t had a goddess in his heart, even after he ascended to the ranks of a god, he’d be willing to continue his relationship as a partner.
However, as the daughter of Artemis, she pledged her chastity and gave up because she was sharp towards men, but didn’t Atalanta open her heart to men?
‘I don’t like that the target is Dianes… but that’s about it. A strong virgin can take a bite.’
There he saw Theseus.
Watching Dianes unleash merciless violence on her in her remote forest.
He didn’t like to dare to damage the woman he would become, but it’s her name for her opponent who has a crush on her. Anyway, the terribly wounded Atalanta will fall for him just for the slightest smile from him.
‘A woman by nature should return to the one who is qualified to use and wield her.’
As the heir of the two kingdoms, he was able to use Atalanta much better than a savage orphan who used strange magic and wielded violence.
That powerful power, that desirable body, that beautiful beauty.
With that in mind, Theseus was fully prepared.
Buy the most beautiful flowers from the garden that Persephone blessed with Demeter and the most expensive and beautiful ring from Hermes’ market.
Wearing in the beautiful clothes Troizen’s mother had woven, he headed for the forest in the morning, where Atalanta always appeared.
And it was tea.
“What? Nope?”
“Uh. Why!?”
It was the moment Theseus’ mask came off since he entered the forest.
He himself. To reject the beautiful self, the blood-descendant of Zeus, the brilliant resourceful general, the heir of the two kingdoms, and the most beautiful to be compared with the daughters of Aphrodite?
In a situation that he could not have imagined even with his brilliant mind, Theseus forgot his body shape and raised his voice.
Despite her own logical rebuttal, Atalanta frowned at her strangely and said this.
“Of course, I am already Dianes’s lover?”
“What? He rejects me because of that wandering orphan who doesn’t even know the root of it?”
Yes Dianes.
It was Dianes again.
That dark-haired vagabond who gradually took away the fame and envy that should have belonged to him just by his appearance!
Those strength and talent were indeed useful, but wasn’t he an orphan who didn’t even know the basics?
“Stop talking nonsense! Because of a guy who doesn’t even know the basics! This descendant of Zeus, Theseus of Wisdom-“
In a moment of anger, Theseus let out a tantrum in his chest.
-f*ck!
Atalanta’s fists mercilessly blew his face off.
“Kwaaah!”
As Theseus screamed and rolled on the ground at the pain that pierced his head, Atalanta looked down at him and laughed coldly at him.
“Ah… Like any other gloomy bastard, greed is swarming in his eyes. Did you think they would accept it if you dressed up and confessed? Even swearing at that lover?”
“Keugh… Then tell me! You’re going to dedicate yourself to an orphan who has no roots, even though you’re being beaten that way? Rejecting this Theseus?”
Looking at Theseus, who was using a pickpocket, Atalanta shut her mouth for a moment.
She sighed and opened her mouth.
“Haa~ After all, Dianes is the only one. Someone who recognizes my true worth.”
Saying that, Atalanta glared at Theseus like a bug, then turned and disappeared into the forest.
“Wait! Say! I was not convinced! I mean accept me!”
The reality I was trying to ignore.
Atalanta’s contemptuous eyes, which seemed to reveal the reality that the hero called Theseus was no longer defeated by the name of Dianes, made Theseus desperate.
And then I thought.
I must defeat Dianes.
Otherwise, the name Theseus would be erased.
However, Dianes, the enemy he inflamed with enmity, did not care about him.
Surely, the black eye recognized its hostility and anguish, but it did not ridicule or ridicule theseus.
He had no interest.
It made Theseus’ pride go down even further, but rather, using this as a driving force, he studied a plan to drive him out, a strategy to defeat him, and further improved his own skills.
Defeating his powerful demons, volunteering to play the role of the monster in the strategy class Hercules was in charge of, dealing with his own strategy alone, driving himself and training himself like that.
As usual, while waiting for the morning run, checking the soldiers and waiting for Hercules, he saw Dianes’ black hair falling on his head and felt it.
Today is the time to drop the name of Dianes and let the hero Theseus shine.
However, it took only a few seconds for Theseus’ intuition and expectations to be shattered.
The hem of a huge myth reminiscent of Titanomachy.
A huge war between the two of you that you can’t believe or don’t want to believe was created by the hero you envy and the hero you hate.
Seeing this, Theseus had a hunch.
No, I would have to say that I hoped.
Immediately after such a gigantic fight, a guy named Dianes, who didn’t know the root of it, even if he didn’t know Heracles, a descendant of Zeus like himself, must have been quite weak.
Now, with his army, his own resourcefulness, and his skills he had trained while grinding his bones and flesh, he would be able to completely erase that black stain.
“Dianes! If I win, stop her unjust violence against her Atalanta and free her!”
Please be sure of your intuition.
Invoking all the gods of Olympus and his idol, the beautiful Athena, Theseus raised his voice and declared a confrontation.
