On the periphery of the majestic and magnificent palace of Knossos, Ye Ye strolled and wandered, as if admiring this masterpiece of architectural art. Different from the monotonous and shabby houses in the civilian area, the spectacular continuous buildings here are simply not in the same world, huge courtyards, towering palaces, winding and numerous corridors, foyers, compound roads, staircases, thousands of doors and hundreds of doors are connected by twists and turns, combined with fountains and pools, green flowers, many exquisite carvings and gorgeous murals, which are solemn and elegant and beautiful, and make people have to sigh that it is worthy of being the center of the Cretan Kingdom with a long history and a glorious past.

This is only a glimpse from a distance on the periphery, but if you really enter the palace, you can imagine that you can clearly feel the charm of this great building.

Ye Ye wandered around the periphery of the palace, stopping to take a look, just like many famous outsiders who came to watch, even the palace guards just looked at this out-of-town bun with disdain, and didn't bother to take care of him.

No one expected that when Ye Ye seemed to be intoxicated by this majestic building on the ground, all his energy was focused on the deeper and more magnificent space under his feet.

"Is this the Minoan Labyrinth, it is indeed a rare masterpiece in the world." With a sigh of admiration in his mouth, it was not for the building in front of him, but the labyrinth hidden in the dirt under his feet, just tens of meters of dirt, could not stop the scanning of the system, as Ye Ye continued to walk around the periphery of the palace, the outer outline of the maze under his feet gradually became clear in his mind.

"Unfortunately, this is only the edge of the labyrinth, and if you want to reach the central area and enter the labyrinth, you still have to go to the palace to find the entrance."

His eyes, which were a little sloppy because he was focused on his feet, began to condense, and Ye Ye stared at the majestic palace of the ruler of the Cretan Kingdom on the ground, and made up his mind in his heart.

Thankfully, many temples had the custom of depicting the exploits of the gods, heroes, and famous events in murals, and the priests were happy to spread the power of the gods and the legends of the heroes who passed down the blood of the gods to the common people, adding to the glory of the gods who were high above. Ye Ye stayed on Crete for several days to figure out one thing, that is, his understanding was wrong before, in this world, Apollo is not the sun god, to be precise, he should be the god of light, the real sun god is Helios, the son of Hyperion and Thea among the twelve titan gods.

Of course, it is not wrong to say that Apollo is the god of the sun, because although Helios is still the god of the sun, his priesthood has been transferred to Apollo, and now it is Apollo, the son of Zeus, who is holding the sun chariot in the sky.

As a descendant of the twelve titan gods, Helios undoubtedly belongs to the Titan gods, so he is not very proud in the world where the Olympian god is the mainstream, although he was not forced to live in seclusion like those ancient Titan gods, but he could not squeeze into the core circle of Mount Olympus, and basically had no influence in the Greek city-states.

The grievances between the gods have nothing to do with Ye Ye, but after knowing this, there are a lot more targets to choose from, maybe on the island of Crete, he will be able to obtain the coveted sun divinity.

In many legends in Ye Ye's real world, there are races like the Minotaurs, and the talent of this creature is often related to the labyrinth, and the source of this legend starts from the huge labyrinth deep in the soil under Ye Ye's feet-the Minos Labyrinth.

Zeus and Europa had three sons on the island of Crete, and although Minos and Radamantis both became one of the three judges of the underworld after their deaths, they did not have a good relationship when they were alive. In order to compete for the position of king of Crete, Minos ousted his brother Radamantis and his younger brother Salperdon, who were former kings, and ascended the throne himself, becoming the most famous king in the history of the Cretan kingdom.

Instead of asking his father Zeus for support, he prayed to his great-grandfather Poseidon to perform miracles to show his blessing for his accession to the throne.

Poseidon, who had a bad relationship with his brother Zeus, generously agreed, and he parted the sea and raised a golden bull from the bottom of the sea, and asked Minos to slaughter it in front of his altar and worship him. This is completely a slap in the face of Zeus, you know, when he plundered Europa to Crete, he was incarnated as a bull.

But what Poseidon, who was secretly having fun, never expected was that the golden bull he gave was so beautiful, like a golden cast, with a strong and healthy body, which fascinated Minos at once, and even changed his mind and secretly hid it in his herd, not wanting to sacrifice it to Poseidon. Poseidon, who was brushed at this moment, almost had a crooked nose, but although the other party was a little related to him, but more importantly, it was the son of Zeus, and he couldn't directly slaughter this kid, so he could only get angry from somewhere else.

Don't you like this cow? I'll make you like it enough! Poseidon directly cast a spell, causing Minos's wife Parsiphae to fall in love with the bull, and intersected with it to give birth to a half-human, half-cow monster, the famous minotaur - Minotaur. Now it's Minos' turn to sit on wax, and the queen mates with the bull to give birth to this kind of monster, but it is Poseidon's punishment again, and he can't kill it, so he can only pinch his nose and admit it.

So Minos asked someone to build a huge labyrinth under the palace, and locked the cheap son in, just as his other son Androgeos was conspired by the Athenians to hang up when he participated in the Olympic Games, and he immediately launched a large army to attack Athens, and the Athenians were defeated and mourned, and he had no choice but to sign an alliance under the city, and agreed to sacrifice seven pairs of boys and girls to the Minotaur every nine years before the Cretans withdrew. So, coupled with the criminals who were sentenced to death on the island, the food of Minos, the son of the Minotaur, was finally ready, and the Minotaur, the minotaur, became a huge shadow on the heads of the Cretans and Athenians.

Later, at the third sacrifice, the hero of the Attica Peninsula, Theseus, the son of the Athenian king Aegeus, joined the sacrifice, and even if he could get rid of the Minotaur, he would definitely be lost in this extremely complex labyrinth, but the goddess of love Aphrodite helped him and made Minos's daughter Ariadne fall in love with this kid, just like Medea fell in love with Iason in the Golden Fleece incident, and gave him a thread to get him out of the labyrinth, At the same time, he was given a sword to cut off the head of the Minotaur, a half-brother.

Just like other heroes, Theseus sweetly fascinated the little girl who was so carried away by love that he couldn't find the north, promised to take her away afterwards, and then with these two things, he successfully cracked the labyrinth and killed the Minotaur, the minotaur, reaped a lot of honors, and sailed home with Ariadne, and lived a happy life with two nights and two lives - sorry it was a fairy tale, in fact, before returning to Athens Ariadne, the little girl who bravely eloped for love was thrown by Theseus on a desert island.

Because Dionysus, the god of wine, also fell in love with this little girl, and did not know whether he threatened or seduced Theseus, anyway, the hero simply broke the oath he made a few days ago, patted his ass and went back to Athens by himself, and Ariadne woke up and found himself alone on a desert island, and his heart was frightened and sad can be imagined.

This is a legend that is widely spread in Greece, and it is also the heaviest of Theseus's heroic achievements, but this is all in the past, and this famous hero is not having a good time now, before he and his friend Peritous snatched Helen, who was still a girl, yes, it is the peerless disaster that caused the most sensational Trojan War now, but a beautiful woman is not enough for two people, so they dared to break into Hades to rob Persephone, the wife of Hades, Naturally, these two men, who were so inadequate, were pinned to the end of the world that they were tormented, until their friend, Hercules, who was more famous than them, broke into the palace of Hades in order to complete the twelve trials.

Unlike these two brain-soaked goods, Hercules Bull is really powerful, he not only rescued Theseus, but also completed his mission to bring the three-headed dog of hell back to the world, it is said that even Hades, the king of Hades, suffered a little. Poor Theseus returned to Athens and found that not only had Helen been robbed of her two brothers during this period, but also her own throne had been robbed of her, and she could only go into misery and exile, and now it was Menestheus who took his throne who led the Athenians against Troy.

In this magnificent legend, Ye Ye was keenly aware of a small detail that no one cared about, the poor queen, the victim of this tragedy, Parsiphae, although it was only a background in this story, she was the daughter of the sun god Helios, and one of his few descendants in the world. Although Helios had many children, most of them were gods, and there were only a handful of mortals with names and surnames like Perciphae. Undoubtedly, perhaps not much, but there is no doubt about Parsiphaeu in the purest form of solar divinity.

Of course, now Parsiphael's bones can be used to play drums, even if Ye Ye wants to find it, there is no way, but he has not forgotten that there is still the body of the monster Minotaur in this underground palace, and it born by Parsiphaeux should also have a residual sun divinity on its body. Maybe this monster has also turned into ashes, maybe it lost all its divinity as early as the moment it died, maybe it didn't inherit the divinity at all, but in Ye Ye's opinion, this is the easiest way for him to reach the godhood of the sun at present, no need to bump headlessly, and don't have to take too many risks, as long as you find an opportunity to enter this underground palace, it is possible to achieve your goal, and this cheap business must naturally be firmly grasped.

Glancing at the magnificent Cretan palace in front of him again, Ye Ye's eyes flashed, and he turned around and left the place.
