47 (Homer's Epic, vol. 5, p. 93) Before the expedition
This is truly the world's unprecedented, tragic, fierce and protracted war.
Diomedes also captured Priam's sons, Ekemon and Quemios, who were riding in the same chariot.
(See Homer's Epic Poems, vol. 5, p. 93)
The tall and mighty general, Theodes, walked into the flock like a lioness, as if hating the sheep that had accidentally trampled on the lion cub, and it bit the sheep when it saw it with the hatred of the dead cub.
The brave and warlike Diomedes, the dead lioness, had already bitten her eyes red in the flock, and when she saw the sheep, she bit her throat and killed her immediately.
He, a ruthless lioness, also bit two billionaire family rich two, making his parents cry sadly. Because of the consideration that money is dung, killing the enemy on the battlefield is the real hero of a good man, and when he returns home with glory, the beauty rewarded by the royal family is the honor and wealth of a man.
But now the two sons have left their healthy bodies in a foreign country, and can only drift back to their hometown in the green smoke during cremation. And the glory symbolized by the nobility, the golden helmet and golden armor that cost millions of dollars, because of the battle clothes that are hard to find in the life of the generals, are competing for it, and once again attracting countless deaths that add more lives because of what they want to get.
There is also the inheritance that has no descendants, because of the huge amount, and all relatives and friends, because of the uneven distribution, will produce all kinds of contradictions, and once again lead to the death war of dividing property.
When the bad news reaches their hometown, their parents will die of grief, and they will no longer have the life to enjoy the billions of family wealth. The wealth that cannot be brought by life and death is already destined to be lost in this world. Just like the corpses that died on the battlefield, because of their low status, they had no money to buy firewood and grass to cremate the corpses, so they had to let the bald birds compete for food, all of which were given by God for their free lunch.
War is the most brutal mission in the world. The rich have to go to the battlefield to die if they fight for honor, and those who have no money have to fight for honor. Then he put the beautiful woman rewarded by the king into a snakeskin bag and carried it home. This kind of beauty difference was thought by young people in ancient times, and even more so by young people in modern times.
In ancient times, wars were fought with the family as the lineup, and the poor could only be inserted in a certain family, usually death was shared, and honor was not enough. Can you not go? Definitely. You yourself are someone else's family, and as long as there is a war, you must be a pawn of others.
Menelaos was a tigress who had lost her son, and he had identified a sin sheep in the flock, and he had determined that it was, this one, because he had accidentally trampled his young tiger cub to death.
He was desperately chasing after a chariot with a pair of siblings, who were skilled shipbuilders, and whose cunning hands were born.
On the first day that Paris tricked Helen away, Menelaos pondered the question: Why did they cross the sea from thousands of miles away to this island nation? Who has the good craftsman to build such a solid ship?
It was this question that made Menelaos feel so insightless.
So Menelaos pondered in anguish whether he could go and get the boatman and cross the sea to get Helen back.
There is nothing in the world that cannot be done, only the unthinkable. Our Menelaos, who clung to this truth, and since he has thought of it now, he will do it.
The hatred of taking a wife, from ancient times to the present, is higher than the hatred of killing a father. Menelaos told the king's brother about his plan to build a ship and cross the sea, saying that there were only two ways to go. One is to build a ship and cross the sea to take Helen home. The second is to die of hatred in shame.
As the elder brother of the king of a country, he also understands that the things of the world are difficult to recover. Helen has been deceived into being thousands of miles away, which is like an embroidery needle thrown into the abyss of the sea, if you want to fish it again, unless the gods descend to earth, otherwise the loss will outweigh the loss. will make the transaction a loss.
Before the implementation of this plan, the elder brother had also persuaded the younger brother to give up this idea and select a beautiful woman who was more beautiful than Helen from all over the country, but the younger brother was a little bird, and he had to snatch Helen home.
Helen, our Helen, what a man. Half of the people and gods, the beauty is superb, and she is also proficient in a number of arts, and embroidering a hundred birds is her mastery.
Out of affection for his brother, the elder brother approved the report of the shipbuilding expedition with tears in his eyes. Knowing that this cross-sea expedition was going by ten people, it was difficult to escape one person, which was a very lucky errand.
That is, a war that has not yet started a war, and bury itself first.
Although Agamenliu is the king of a country, and the largest of the island nations, and the army is also the largest,
However, in a long-distance battle across the sea, the probability of victory is still 0 percent. If there was one percent, he would not have thought of using all the countries with which he had diplomatic relations. He will definitely personally take command and lead his country's army to fight tens of thousands of miles in the East.
If you can do this, one, snatch Helen back. Second, by the way, it also raised the prestige of a great power. This is the honor that every military strategist dreams of.
Helen's elopement caused such a big disaster, bad is bad, she is the wife of the younger brother of the king of a big country, out of face, out of power, he has the ability to cause a big war.
If it's in a small country, it certainly can't. Again, this is where social relations lie. A small country itself is a subordinate state of a big country, and in peacetime, it always has to be helped by a big country, but now a big country wants to use troops, which is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a small country. There is no reason not to go, and in fact, I dare not not go.
This is to bully the small with the big, otherwise this matter comes from a small country, and the big country will use persuasion as a reason, and the expedition is not necessary. Big things are small, and small things are small.
And when something happens to a big country, out of the orders of the strong, who can have words of persuasion, who dares to speak out to persuade. But if no one convinces this to be a difficult thing, it doesn't mean that it is really not difficult, but it is just held in their hearts.
Menelaos had obtained the consent of the king's elder brother, and soon set about bringing in shipbuilders from all over the country, and even from neighboring countries, to build ships that could withstand the storms and seas. A thousand hatreds are just for a little ** who eloped with someone - Helen.
Is it really because of our Helen who is so beautiful that caused this unprecedented war? Definitely.
