Chapter 19: The Grumpy Tramon
A wooden boat sails slowly on the wide river, and the old boatman tells the story of the past to the children around him while propping the boat. The cool autumn breeze blows across the river, blowing ripples in circles and blowing away the turbulence of time.
"Peleus's father, your grandfather, was named Aeacus. He was a temple priest on the island of Aegna, said to be the son of Zeus, and a remarkable man. ”
That's right. Su Muran thought hard about the books he had read, Peleus was indeed the grandson of Zeus.
"Once, Zeus had a great fire, and it refused to rain for months, and all the crops in the field were lost. Ikaon looked at Su Muran, and said with a look of remembrance in his eyes: "At that time, I was just a young man, and I was a few years older than you now. ”
Ikaon pointed to the river again, "I remember that even the water in this river was dry, and everyone was praying to Zeus to appease his anger, but Zeus was unmoved, and even the sacrifices of the people were not willing to accept it. ”
Later, people went to the temple of Delphi to listen to the oracle, and according to the oracle's instructions, only Aeakus could appease Zeus's wrath. So the people rushed to the island of Aegina and asked Ayakos to pray for rain for them. Aeakus granted their request, and when he began to offer sacrifices to Zeus, the great drought that had lasted for months ceased and it rained heavily in the sky, and that moment was truly a miracle. ”
"Do you know why Zeus is angry?" Su Muran suddenly remembered a very important question.
"I don't know, maybe someone provoked him. Ikaon shook his head.
Su Muran could almost guess what was going on. Tsk, this father and son are dark enough. One sings white-faced, the other red-faced, and then forcibly holds his son to the throne, yes, very strong.
Su Muran patted his forehead, from here he probably knew Zeus's personality better. In order to achieve his own goals, he does not care about the life or death of mortals, and is extremely selfish and ruthless.
But the only thing worth affirming is that he is really good to his own children, and he has nothing to say.
Recalling the books he has read, he can find that Zeus is really good to his children, especially those who are mortals, perhaps because he feels that he owes something, so he is more careful to make up for it.
But that's not all, Zeus's attitude towards his grandchildren and his son is simply one on the ground and one in the sky. It could be that he had too many grandchildren, so Zeus didn't care about their lives or dead at all.
So the question is, Zeus is so inattentive to his grandson, so what feelings will he have for his great-grandson Achilles?
Definitely not!
Su Muran had a little headache, he had also heard what Stix said to Thetis, and now it seems that it may be difficult to think about Zeus.
"Aeakos has been famous ever since, and many kings have wanted to marry him the princess, but he has not accepted it, and instead has married a commoner woman called Endeis. Ikaon didn't pay attention to Su Muran's distraction, and continued.
"Endeis is your grandmother, whom I met once a few years ago, a gentle and generous woman, like Madame Thetis. ”
You'll be able to praise it, old man. Su Muran looked at Thetis who was standing at the other end with her back to the two of them pretending to look at the scenery, maybe her mother was smiling in her heart now, after all, with her hearing, it was impossible not to hear what Ikaon was saying.
"Within a few years, Endeith and Aeakus had two children, the eldest being your father Peleus, and the second being Telamon, and the two brothers had a good relationship, and they were often together even when they went on adventures. Ikaon stopped suddenly, "Cute little boy, it seems that this is all there is for today, we are going to dock." ”
Su Muran looked up and saw that the wooden boat had already docked on the other side, and Thetiss was about to get off the boat with the big white horse, but the big white horse looked a little irritable and kept gently kicking the deck with his hooves.
It's so uncomfortable, and I haven't finished listening to the story. Su Muran patted his head, at this time, the story was far more attractive to him than the ranch that didn't know how big it was.
After thinking about it, Su Muran felt that he should still stay and listen to the story, so before Thetis got off the boat, Su Muran hurriedly rushed to her, "Mom, can I stay and listen to Grandpa Ikaon's story?"
Thetis was overjoyed, to be honest, she really didn't want to take the big white horse and Su Muran to the ranch at the same time. But in order to prevent her precious son from seeing something, she had to refuse a little, "You're going to get in the way of Grandpa Akaon's business." ”
"Ah......" Su Muran felt a little disappointed, but her mother's refusal was also expected.
"But......" Thetis was about to take out the words she had prepared later, pretending that she had reluctantly agreed, when Icaon suddenly spoke.
"It won't get in the way, Lady Thetis, there is no business at this time, and I am just about to talk to the young man. ”
"Then I'll be back in the evening, old man, and I will help me take care of Achilles until then. Thetis said politely to Ikaon.
"You are so gracious, Lady Thetis, I will take a good look at him, don't worry. ”
Wait, it's a little strange, why did my mother agree so quickly, didn't she just say no? Su Muran touched his chin with a pensive expression, and his intuition told him that his mother was very problematic.
Seeing Su Muran's suspicious expression, Titis felt that her heartbeat was a little faster, and she hurriedly pretended to be natural and led the irritable big white horse away.
Su Muran was already sure that there was definitely something wrong with her mother! Although Titis pretended to be very natural in the end, she had a place that she didn't hide, and she didn't say goodbye to herself!
Usually my mother would not be like this, Su Muran rubbed his chin that had not yet grown a beard, and he suddenly wanted to see what his mother was going to do.
Ikaon took out a blanket and spread it on the deck, beckoning to Su Muran, "Please come here, cute little boy, where did we just go?"
It seems that today is going to let Thetis go. Su Muran sighed in his heart, and returned to Ikaon with a smiling face, "You just said that my grandmother Endeis gave birth to my father and my uncle Telamon. ”
"Ah, that's right, Endeis and Aeakos were very affectionate when they first got married, and within two years your father was born. A few years later, Endeiz became pregnant with a second child, your uncle Telamon. Ikaon beckoned Su Muran to sit down, trying to remember what he knew.
However, while Endeis was in Witeramon, Aeakus was said to have fallen in love with the daughter of a sea god and insisted on bringing her home, and Endeith became ill with it. ”
My God, this Eakos is really a scumbag, his wife has a big belly, he went outside to engage in a junior, and even if he was a junior, he actually brought it home? Su Muran had a bad impression of this grandfather he had never met before.
"Peleus was probably about the same age as you are now, and he already understood a lot of truths, so he didn't have a good relationship with his father from that time on. Fortunately, the woman did not pick anything in the house of Aeakos, she was very respectful to Endaeus, and she was also very good to Peleus, so the few people barely got along. In this way, Endeis's health slowly improved. ”
Hehe, it seems that this Aeakos is quite capable and enjoys the blessings of all people.
But then something went wrong, and before Endaeus could give birth to Tramon, the woman became pregnant again, and later gave birth to a boy named Fokos. Fucos was only a few months younger than Telamon, but since they were not born to the same mother, they did not have a good relationship since childhood. ”
Ikaon paused to catch his breath and continued: "And Aeakos is very partial to Fokos, and whatever good things he has been a child have been reserved for Fokos. Although Peleus didn't care about this, Telamon, who was about the same age as Fucos, was angry, and when he saw Fucos, he was like an enemy. Of course, this is also to blame for Aeakos being too eccentric. ”
Brotherly discord, this is a very common drama, Su Muran has seen a lot in his previous life, not to mention that it is normal for a mother to have contradictions.
This went on for more than a decade, and when Focos was fifteen, Aeakos did something more eccentric. In the case that Peleus and Telamon were not married, Aeacus actually let Fukos marry first. ”
Ikaon sighed, "Even Peleus is a little angry now. Soon after, Focos' wife became pregnant, and Aeakos, who knew the news, actually held a tournament on the island of Aegina to celebrate Focos. ”
"And then?"
"Then great things happened, your uncle Tramon was angry with your grandfather's partiality, and he was a grumpy man, and he was determined to give Focos a good look at the athletics. It just so happened that Telamon and Fucos reported the discus throwing project at the same time, but they didn't expect Fucos's results to be better than that of Telamon, Telamon was ashamed and angry, and threw the discus on Fucos's head, and as a result, Fucos was directly killed. ”
This uncle is really tough! Su Muran was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out on his head, and he was so angry that he actually killed someone, and it was his own brother!
"Aeakos was so sad that he could not forgive Telamon who had killed his brother and decided to kick him out of the house. Peleus could not bear to let his brother wander at a young age, so he pleaded with Aeakos for him, but was driven out of the island by Aeakus in a fit of rage. ”
What? Just because he wants to be driven away? Su Muran frowned, this grandfather was even more ...... than he imagined Ruthless!!
