But the Temple of Zeus in Olympia is one of the oldest and grandest temples in the Mediterranean, and the Olympia Games are the oldest Greek games, and since it has it, the Greek world has its own chronology (in terms of how many Olympia Games are used as the chronology), and the games are also the most attended and the most extensive range of city-states, Olympia and Delphi have always been the symbols of Greek culture that link the Greek city-states all over the Mediterranean.

It stands to reason that Crotocatatas would have pacified Olympia in the same way as Delphi, but Olympia worshipped the god-king Zeus, while the Dionians firmly believed that Hades was the king of the gods, and the two were fundamentally opposed, which determined that this would not be a gentle visit.

Knowing that Davers had personally sent instructions on how to deal with Olympia, Klotocatax found it difficult to accept it, and Patroclus had offered to carry out the plan in his place, and after two days of painful thinking, Prince Theonia finally decided to go in person, because he remembered the words written in his father's letter: "...... As a king, you should not only enjoy flowers and wine, but also bear infamy and slander when necessary, the road to prosperity and prosperity through the kingdom is never smooth sailing, iron and blood are indispensable! ……”

Olympia is located in the southern part of the Ellis region, at the confluence of the Alpheos and Kladios rivers, and its sacred places are filled with the atmosphere of the mountains except for the temple of Zeus, the temple of Hera, the priests' quarters, and a council for the representatives and winners of the city-states to meet and celebrate. When there are no major rituals, Olympia is sparsely populated and feels isolated.

The army that followed Crotocatax to Olympia was more than twice as large as it had been at Delphi, and more than half of them were the original Heuros who had arrived from the regions of Messenia and Lagernia, and they surrounded Olympia with murderous violation.

Crotocatacasses forcibly summoned the priests of Zeus, put on a fierce appearance, and threatened them, saying that the other city-states had confessed that the war they had fought with Dionya was deliberately instigated by the priests of Olympia, and therefore Dionyas had come to hold the priests of Olympia accountable for the war, unless they were willing to promise not to proclaim Zeus as god-king from now on, and were willing to nominally accept the supervision of the main temple of Hades, the holy kingdom of Dionia, then they would be exonerated from their crimes. They were able to continue to serve Zeus as honorable priests and continue to preside over the Olympian Games, otherwise they would be charged as war criminals, stripped of their priestly status, expelled from Olympia, and forbidden to be taken in by any of the city-states of the New Greek League (originally Davers had asked Clotokataxs to execute the Olympian priests who refused to cooperate in order to make an example, but the kind-hearted Crotocatacs changed it to expulsion).

Zeus was the king of all gods, but the priests of Zeus in Olympia were not only not strong, but they were often angry. Ellis and Pisa often fought for control of Olympia, and from time to time they asked the priests of Olympia to take a stand, and they were like grass on the wall, supporting whichever side was stronger, and changing their tune as soon as the situation changed.

The same is true when hosting the Olympia Games. In the past, when Alice clashed with Sparta, Alice used his status as the owner of Olympia to expel the Spartan players and did not allow them to participate, and the priests did not dare to object; Soon after, Sparta led his army to Olympia, expelled the Ellis, and declared that "all the games are null and void until the Games are resumed", to which the priests only claimed...... Such a ridiculous thing has happened many times in the past.

It was precisely because of these circumstances that Crotocatacucks dared to accept this task, because he felt that the priests of Olympia who had been committed to perfection for a long time in such an environment should not have a few hard bones.

His judgment was correct, and all but a few young priests were expelled for their strong opposition.

Since then, the two holiest cities of Delphi and Olympia in mainland Greece have been worshiped by the sacred kingdom of Dionys, as have been the other Greek city-states.

……………………………………………………

On this day, Timosius returned to Tyre with his fleet after patrolling the Near East coast, and as soon as he disembarked, he found the messenger of the king of Persia waiting at the dock.

"The king wants to summon me?"

"Yes, the king has important matters to discuss with you!" The messenger said solemnly.

"What's important?" Timosius couldn't help but ask again.

"Don't ask too much, hurry up and set off with us to see the king!" The messenger urged impatiently.

Timosius looked at the arrogant-looking messenger and the group of Persian royal guards behind him, dressed in ornate armor and holding their heads high, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: the pure Persian nobles were all so annoying, and regarded the Greeks as barbarians.

Timosius, who had lived in Persia for many years, had become accustomed to this, and despite some doubts in his heart, he did not hesitate to follow the envoy to the residence of the king of Persia.

The place where the king of Persia was stationed was in Damascus, east of Phoenicia, but not in a certain town, but in the camp, but the scene of thousands of troops gathering here and the noisy scene no longer exists, because hundreds of thousands of Persian main troops have been fighting in Egypt for nearly two months, only the king of Persia and his royal family, retinue, and ministers continue to stay here, although there are the most elite 10,000 undead troops here to escort it, but it is still too scarce compared to this huge camp.

Seeing the empty tents everywhere, Timosius couldn't help but have an idea: if the Egyptians sent a surprise army, bypassing the main Persian force, and raiding the area, a fire could burn it to ashes.

Timosius quickly suppressed this strange thought, for they had approached the center of the camp, guarded by strong, well-armed undead troops, who always looked with suspicion at everyone who tried to enter the camp, and even with messengers to guide the way, Timosius underwent several strict examinations before being allowed to enter the residence of the king of Persia.

The Great Tent of the King of Persia stood like a mansion in the very center of the camp, and the exterior alone was richly decorated, with the golden eagle of the Persian king standing high in front of it.

The king of Persia often entertained guests in the Great Tent, and Timothy once participated in it, with sumptuous food, fair dancing girls, and beautiful music...... But it's evocative. But Timothys was still a little uneasy at that time, feeling that the king of Persia was a little too optimistic about this war, as if he could conquer Egypt soon with his own conquest.

Timosius was right, and for nearly two months the battle had been going on, the huge army had been blocked on the east bank of the Nile, and the navy warships had not yet found a chance to break through the fortresses and water gates at the mouth of the Nile's tributaries and enter the core of the Nile Delta.

At this moment, he heard the roar coming from the big tent, and immediately felt uneasy: the king of Persia called him this time, could it be because he had not achieved any great results in the two months since he was the commander of the fleet, and he wanted to reprimand him?!

The more Timosius thought about it, the more he felt empty-hearted, and even felt that the palace guards outside the big tent looked at him a little strangely.

"King, Admiral Timothyus has brought!"

"Tie me up this Greek who is trying to rebel!" Artaxerxes roared, and the guards, who had been prepared, immediately pushed Timosius to the ground, tied him into a rice dumpling, and dragged him to Artaxerxes.

Attempted rebellion?! …… Timosius became a prisoner with a stunned face, and could only cry out in panic.

"Wronged?!" Artaxerxes roared angrily: "Ariobazenis has rebelled, he planned it for a long time, which is why you brought so few troops here to deceive me!" I am so blind that I have appointed you as the commander of the Persian fleet! As a result, you deliberately delayed the war, wasting two months of my time, but gave the rebel plenty of time to prepare! Damn Greek barbarians, I trust you so much! ……”

The more Artaxerxes spoke, the more angry he became, and he stepped forward and kicked Timosius to the ground: "Drag me out and cut it!" ”

The guards stepped forward and dragged Timothyus by the hair.

Timosius endured the pain and cried out, "Ariobazenis is harming me!" ……”

Knowing that there was no chance of survival, he simply hissed and scolded: "Artaxerxes, you are a mediocre and incompetent king, no wonder your brother wants to usurp the throne, your ministers want to rebel, as long as you reign for a day, Persia will never be at peace!" ……”

"Kill him! Kill him! ......" Artaxerxes thundered.

A moment later, Timothys' head was presented, and Artaxerxes was still angry, and said in a hateful voice: "Cut off his hands again, and with his head, send someone to Aliobazenis!" ”

Artaxerxes remembered that this was how he had disposed of the body of his younger brother Cyrus the Younger, and was so angry that his mother, who loved Cyrus the Younger, was seriously ill.

He even believed that the rebellion in Asia Minor was also caused by his younger brother, because his father appointed Cyrus the Younger as the military governor of western Persia, and as a result, Cyrus, who was good at winning the hearts of the people, not only used the financial resources of Asia Minor to hire a group of Greeks to fight for him, but also won the support of the governors and nobles of almost all regions of Asia Minor, so he dared to compete with him for the throne.
