Greek camp

It is said that Achilles dragged Hector's body all the way back to the warship in a chariot, and the corpse was contaminated with stones and soil in the process of dragging, and a blood mark was distinct.

Achilles untied Hector's body from the chariot and dragged it to the ship, while Patroclus' body lay quietly on the plank.

"Bang. Hector's body was thrown heavily by Achilles, and the body was smashed to the ground, lying face down in front of Patroclus's body, his face and body covered in blood, as if to plead guilty to Patroclus.

News of Achilles' triumphant return immediately spread throughout the Greek camp.

"Commander Agamemnon, Achilles has brought back Hector's body, apparently intending to cremate Patroclus' body for burial. The herald Tipios immediately rushed back to give a message.

"Well, order our warriors to cut down the wood, and build the firewood pile, and build the cremation table, which will be needed soon. Agamemnon said.

"Yes, Commander. The herald Tipios replied, and immediately went out to deliver the order.

Achilles threw Hector's body down and heard the news: "Achilles, Agamemnon has ordered the warriors to lead the cattle to cut down the tallest tree on Mount Ida. ”

"Agamemnon is so knowledgeable. Speaking of reality, the killing of Hector and the auspicious omen, Achilles suddenly felt fearless, only laughed, and gathered the warriors, ordering: "You all put on armor, all chariots are put on horses, and we will give Patroclus a funeral." ”

The Greek warriors to which Achilles belonged lined up in neat formations, chariots lined up in rows, and not only that, but the rest of the heroes and princes joined in armor, and the ranks were huge.

Achilles put Patroclus' body into the coffin, and Hector's body was tied to the chariot with a belt through the pierced hole between the ankle and heel.

Soon the funeral procession marched: princes, warriors, and kings were in front, followed by thousands of armoured soldiers on foot.

The soldiers marched in unison, following the chariot step by step.

Achilles personally and several men carried the coffin containing Patroclus' body, while Hector's body was dragged behind him in a chariot.

This kind of behavior is sideways: "Achilles insulted the corpse of a hero like this, and he was not afraid of God's sin?"

"Shhhhh ”

The group walked for some distance to an open area of the camp, where a cremation table had been built out of wood.

Achilles placed the coffin on the cremation table where a large amount of wood was piled up, took a step back, cut off a lock of his brown hair with a knife, and stared at the vast sea.

"Ah, O god of the river Spercios, my father made a vow that when I triumphed, I should cut off my hair and sacrifice fifty sheep in your sacred grove and altar, but his wish was disappointed!"

"O river god, you have not accepted the prayer to prevent me from returning to my homeland. Now, don't be surprised, I'll have to give my hair to Patroclus and let him take it to Hades!"

As he spoke, Achilles placed a lock of hair in his friend's hand and lit the pyre with the torch he was holding in his hand.

The fire burned brightly, drowning Patroclus' body and bursting into flames.

The Greeks surrounded the entire burning cremation table, and all the Greeks at this time deeply remembered Patroclus, who was also a powerful hero active on the battlefield.

At that time, he tried to save the Greeks from a desperate situation, but unfortunately was killed by Hector.

Achilles said to the burning corpse of Patroclus, "My friend, Patroclus, may you enter Hades happily! ”

"Only Hector's body was not burned, and his body will be used to feed the dogs. Achilles said fiercely, and with a wave of his hand, a pack of hungry dogs barked at Hector's corpse, and as soon as the reins of the soldier's hand were released, the hungry dogs would pounce and gnaw on Hector's corpse.

The surrounding heroes and princes looked at this scene with complicated eyes, and some people felt that Achilles was too much, and the two sides fought, although the fight was like fire and water, but under normal circumstances, they would not insult the corpse.

And last time, Paris respected the corpses of the dead Greek heroes, cleaned them all, applied perfume, and sent back the corpses of Patroclus.

Now Achilles' approach is completely different from Paris's approach, and I wonder if Paris would have respected the corpse of the Greek hero if he had understood that Achilles had treated Hector's corpse in this way, and whether he would have sent Patroclus's corpse back, everyone thought to themselves.

But Achilles was resolute now, and he had just triumphed, and there was a previous case, and no one dared to touch his mold, and everyone chose to be silent.

"Wow. ”

The reins of the soldiers' hands were released, and the hungry dogs had been hungry for days, and Hector's corpse, which was smeared with the smell of what the dogs liked to eat, all flew towards Hector's corpse, watching the scene to gnaw his corpse clean.

But God was furious when he saw this, and Aphrodite suddenly appeared next to Hector's corpse, guarding Hector's corpse from a pack of hungry dogs.

The hungry dogs felt the aura emanating from the gods, and they all fled in fright, whimpering.

Aphrodite anointed Hector's body with rose balm and ointment, so that all the wounds and filth that had been dragged out of Hector's body disappeared.

Apollo also rained a thick fog that covered Hector's body so that the sun would not dry it.

When the Greek heroes and soldiers saw that the hungry dog was afraid to approach Hector's body, and that a thick fog had fallen to cover Hector's body, everyone looked solemn.

This is obviously the gods who took action to protect Hector's corpse from suffering, and if he abuses the corpse like this, I am afraid that he will usher in the wrath of the gods, right?

Achilles also had a solemn expression, knowing that the gods had intervened to preserve Hector's body, and his idea of feeding Hector's body to the dogs might not be implemented.

"Achilles must die. Apollo said sadly.

Hector had always been the hero of Apollo's protection, and Apollo's anger was already raging when he saw his body being humiliated by Achilles like this.

"Venerable Apollo, maybe Achilles understood this, so there was no taboo. Aphrodite said.

But the gods' punishment is not limited to life. Apollo said in a deep voice.

Apollo's words are very straightforward, the gods can punish a person not only during his lifetime, but also after death, and the soul can also be punished.

"That's the domain of Hades, and besides, we can't humiliate Achilles too much for Hector's sake. ”

Apollo was about to say something, but his ears moved and he heard the sound of a trumpet, which mortals could not hear, but for the gods, it seemed that they could ignore the barrier of space, and they could be heard clearly no matter how far away, so they summoned the gods to quickly rush back to Mount Olympus.

Apollo was shocked, he hadn't heard this horn for a long time, and said, "What's the matter, the last time I heard this sound, it was when the giants of Gaia attacked Mount Olympus, what happened this time?"

"We'll be clear when we rush back. Aphrodite said.

After saying that, the two gods rose into the air, passed through the many spatial barriers, and quickly rushed back to the sacred mountain of Olympus.

Returning to the top of the Holy Mountain and stepping into the hall of the central palace, Apollo felt a different atmosphere, and even saw the serious expressions of the gods.

It seems that what happened this time is not small, Apollo wanted to ask, Artemis pulled Apollo to the side, and whispered: "My dear brother, the three goddesses of fate have received the feedback of fate, and at the same time they have been counterattacked, and they have issued a new oracle - there will be a new god born among the human race." ”

Apollo was shocked, the news was so unexpected that there was no warning at all.

"A new god is born among men?" Apollo thought incredible.

Ever since Hercules last became a god, Zeus has kept a close eye on his mortal heroes to prevent anyone from ascending to the throne again.

The outbreak of the Battle of Troy was also Zeus's desire to cut off the heroes who might be a threat among mortals in order to eliminate the possibility of becoming a god.

But now the situation seems to be far more than expected, and Apollo is lost in thought.

Zeus sat on the throne made of gold and ivory, his expression was also very serious, and he no longer had the expression of being relaxed and happy in the past, everything was under control, and he also felt that the situation was beyond his control, and his face was calm, and he did not speak.

Among mortals, new gods were born, and the Battle of Troy was too surprising to the gods.

The surrounding gods looked solemn, and they were also shocked by the news, and it was also an oracle officially released by the three goddesses of fate.

The gods were discussing with each other who might become gods this time, and Hera whispered to the main gods, "Who is this new god?"

"I don't feel like a Greek. Poseidon frowned, this is very bad news, mortals can ascend to the gods, it shakes the foundation of the gods, and it is also this uncontrollable ascension.

"Do you remember the auspicious omen of Achilles?" said Apollo, frowning.

Although everyone knew that Apollo meant to make Achilles die, they all agreed with Apollo's words.

The scene of the rainbow crown where Achilles killed Hector last time impressed the gods too much, and this time the one who became a god among mortals may not be him.

The gods glanced at each other, and they all saw the murderous intent in each other's eyes.

"Achilles must die!"

"But Achilles still has some afterglow of fate. "There is a consensus that you must die, and the god frowned and said, with the afterglow of fate, there was a bit of resistance to killing him.

"The afterglow of fate was not enough to shelter him, and I trust that our father will quickly cut off Achilles for us. ”

The gods fear fate, but not fear, this afterglow,
