Chapter 164 - The First Olympiad

"Theses, have you ever thought about going out for a walk?" said Excellence in the Alps, holding Theses.

"Why, how long have you been back, and you can't stay still?" Thetis snuggled up in the arms of Excellence like a little woman, quietly enjoying this rare warmth.

Excellence hugged Thetis in his lap and thought for a moment, "I heard that there is a huge World Tree in the northernmost part of the continent, and there is a fountain of wisdom under the tree, and drinking the water in it can obtain supreme wisdom. If our clever Thetis could take a sip, he would surely have more wisdom. ”

"It's not that the more wisdom you have, the happier you are, Prometheus is the best example, if it weren't for the divine power of the prophet, Zeus would not have imprisoned him, and he has not really set him free until now. Thetis said quietly.

Zhuo Zhuoyi scratched his head when he heard this, and sure enough, it was difficult for her not to be suspicious, so he simply said bluntly: "Then are you willing to go with me?"

"Didn't you say that this place is important to you and must be guarded?"

"Let Dieyi stay here, she doesn't like to travel anyway. ”

Zhuo Zhuo was talking and suddenly heard Zhuo Yan yelling outside, only to hear her say: "Dad, I'm back, and I still have to hold a competition?"

"Race, what game?"

Excellence was stunned for a moment, and immediately walked out with Thetis. When I asked, I found out that it was Zeus's idea. It turned out that in order to prove that his son was invincible in the world, Zeus sent a heroic post and invited the heroes of the world to come to Thesari, and let them challenge Hercules.

The excellent heart said that Zeus, this old thing, is really powerful, which is clearly to announce the great deeds of Hercules to the people of the world, and can also take the opportunity to win people's hearts and use them when the time comes. He wants to be completely in his own hands in the heavenly god realm, the underworld and the human realm, and it is estimated that he has also reached some kind of agreement with Poseidon, which is to be a veritable lord of the world.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Hercules say: "Extraordinary, you have a good brain, tell me what the name of this game should be?"

"What's the name, it's not ready-made! You're all Olympians, then this game is called the Olympics. "Excellence thought that the Olympics also originated in ancient Greece, so he spoofed it.

"What the hell is this name, why does it sound weird?" Hercules didn't know what Excellence was pranking, but it still felt something was wrong.

Excellence pulled Thetis to him, and said with a smile: "Simple and generous, what a beautiful name, you don't have any knowledge! ”

Hercules thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with a reason, and finally reluctantly agreed.

Excellence said: "What are the items in this competition?"

"What kind of events, the competition is the competition, whoever knocks me down, I will be the first warrior in the world. Hercules smiled confidently as he spoke, and said disdainfully, "But I believe that no one will be my opponent." ”

"Stupid, what's the point of such a comparison, you're not sure to win. ”

Excellence said with an idea: "Do a few more projects, such as wrestling, gladiatorial fighting, discus throwing, archery, bidding guns, long jump, running, etc., no matter what, you have to have thirty or fifty of them!"

"You want to exhaust Big Brother!" Titis wrung him around.

"As far as the seven you said, I see who can compare with me!" Hercules patted his chest, very proud.

"It's shameless, pick up what you're good at!"

Excellence teased, and said that even if Zeus wants to embarrass himself, he shouldn't choose this time to start, I'd better watch the game before leaving. He added, "Has the specific time been set?"

Five days later, at the same place where Thessali had fought the giant, the goddess of wisdom said that there was a celebration of victory over the giant. Hercules laughed.

Several people chatted for a while, and Hercules said: "No, I'm leaving, they want me to ask my teacher to be a referee, and I also want to go to see his old man." ”

Excellence wanted to tell him about his outing, but he felt that there was no need to spoil him at this time, so he waved his hand and promised to visit Thessali in five days, and Hercules rode on the griffin and flew east.

After asking Dieyi, she was really willing to stay here, and the two decided to keep her here to watch the family, and leave after watching the game.

Early in the morning of the fifth day, several people rushed to Thessaly, and although they had been prepared, Excellence was still shocked by the unprecedented bustle. I saw people on foot, on horseback, and by car on the road, and many people were dragging their families to the Thessaly area. When they came to the Thessaly arena, they found that it had become a sea of people, and several people struggled to squeeze in.

"Damn, I wouldn't have accidentally contributed to the Ancient Olympics, would I?"

Excellence was secretly wondering, when he suddenly heard a quarrel over there, and then a familiar voice came into his ears. When I looked over, I saw Atalanta, dressed as a boy, arguing with the person in charge of registration.

When I asked, I found out that although the competition was also roughly divided into several events according to Excellence's theory, women were not allowed to participate in all of them, and Atalanta originally planned to disguise herself as a man to sneak in, but here she was recognized and blocked from the door.

"Atalanta, do you really want to participate in this competition?" Seeing that they had been arguing for a long time, he had no clue, and pulled her into a corner and said softly.

"If you don't compete, then what am I going to do?" Atalanta glanced at them and said proudly, "I have all thought about it, I will participate in archery, javelin throw, and running, and although he Hercules is famous, I may not lose to him." ”

"I'll give you an idea, but don't say I'm suing you!"

After saying this, he saw her nod in agreement, and whispered a few words in her ear, and Atalanta said suspiciously, "Can it be done?"

"Don't worry, I'll let you in soon!" said Excellence, patting his chest.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice say in his ear: "Zhuo Bufan, what bad idea do you have?"

When he heard that it was Athena's voice, he quickly pulled Atalanta, pointed to the goddess of wisdom who was not far away, and whispered: "This is a goddess, if you have anything to say, tell her directly." ”

Atalanta looked at Athena carefully a few times, and said with some disbelief: "Goddess, are we Greek men and women equal?"

"Equality?" Athena was stunned, she didn't expect her to ask this, and blurted out: "Equality, of course equality, you see that men have the right to inherit, women have the same right to inherit, how can it be unequal." ”

Far away is Athens, which is the city guarded by the goddess of wisdom, and the goddess of wisdom won the battle for the right to protect the sea emperor because of the large number of women voting, but later the city of Athens deprived women of the right to vote. ”

Atalanta said and pointed to the registration point in front of her, and said angrily: "For example, this Olympiad is not allowed to participate at all, and it is said that men and women are equal." ”

When fighting for the custody of the city of Athens, most of the men of Athens voted for Poseidon, while the women almost unanimously voted for Athena, and she had her first territory. After Poseidon's defeat, he flew into a rage and flooded the city with seawater, and in order to appease Poseidon's anger, the Athenians issued three resolutions to punish women: deprivation of the right to vote, prohibition of men using their maternal surnames, and prohibition of women from using the title of "Athenian".

Athena regarded this as a great shame, but unfortunately even she could not change these decisions, and now that she heard Atalanta mention it, she knew that it must be a brilliant idea, glared at him hatefully, and turned back to Atalanta: "Although there is discrimination in this, you have to admit that the vast majority of women are not suitable for those sports. ”

"But I can. Atalanta stomped the ground with the spear in her hand, and said, "The goddess of wisdom and the goddess of hunting are both great gods, so are they also a head lower than the other gods in the divine realm?"

Athena was speechless for a moment, and after a pause, she said: "I can change the conditions for participation, but the woman who participates must first prove that she has the capital to compete with men." ”

"I have, or I'll show you now?" said Atalanta, confidently.

"Alright, you can participate in the competition, I've heard a little about Atalanta's reputation. ”

Athena waved her hand to put her in, and then said coldly: "You stubborn temper must be changed, otherwise you will have to suffer a big loss on this." ”

Atalanta didn't say anything, thanked her and walked to the arena inside. Athena grabbed Excellence's ear and said angrily, "You really want to find a problem for me, you are all equal to men and women?"

"Although it can't be done completely, the vast majority of countries do .........it" Before Zhuo Zhuo finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that there was a Titis beside him, and quickly turned his head to look, and saw that she was playing with Zhuo Yan in his arms, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Athena laughed at his troubled appearance, and then said, "Have you ever thought about participating in a few events, I think if you are a race, you will definitely be able to win the first place." ”

Zhuo Zhuo shook his head, and said in his heart that it was too late for me to be in the limelight, it was really funny to be in the limelight here.

At this time, a voice said: "Brother Zhuo, you are also here, where is my senior brother?"

When Excellence looked up, it turned out that Eurytus had arrived with a few children, and it was Ion, who had made eye contact with Hercules, who was standing there looking at him expectantly.

Zhuo Zhuo greeted their father and son, and said with a smile: "He is the protagonist of this game, how can he be missing, he is busy preparing inside, I will take you in." ”

"My father also took part in competitions and tried bows and arrows. Iole pointed to his father, and then changed his words: "But I support my senior brother, I heard that he shot five hundred giants alone!"

"Yes, that's amazing!" said Iphitos, the youngest son of Eurytos, with admiration.

Infected by their innocence, Excellence greeted Athena and immediately led the crowd towards the arena.
