Vol 9 Chapter 135: The debate at the Athens Civic Conference (2)

"Although I haven't been there, but I have seriously understood and studied the things of the Kingdom of Dionysia, all I said are facts!" Callistratus said firmly.
"Dionysia is different from your Athens. The territory is too vast. To govern such a big country, of course, we must establish a strict order in order to ensure that any decisions and laws are fully implemented." Carrias said solemnly: "Positive Thanks to the efforts of the Dionysian officials, Dionysian citizens all have enough land and live a relatively affluent life. They not only have enough bread for three meals a day, they can also eat meat, Go to the tavern to drink wine, go to the hot spring bath, go to the arena to watch the ball game, go to the theater to watch the game, go to the zoo to watch the beast...The lives of the citizens of Dionysia are colorful, they are also very hospitable, I hope that the people of Athens can go Tourism in the Holy Kingdom of Onia will surely receive their warm reception, which will help our two countries remove misunderstandings and enhance friendship.
His words caused a whisper of discussion among the citizens of Athens.
At this time, a person stood up in the front row of the venue and shouted: "Citizens of Dionysia can own enough land, is it not because you annexed the city-states of Great Greece and plundered their wealth? Is it right? While enjoying the enjoyment of citizens of Dionysia, did you ever think of the big Greek people who lost their homes and were hungry and cold!
Kallistratus remembered that the person who spoke was a student of Isocratic, and could not help nodding.
Carrias asked in surprise: "How did you come to this conclusion?"
"This is a fact, don't deny it!"
Kariahhaha smiled: "I used to think that the Athenians were the most wise and inquiring spirit among the Greek city-states, but now I found that I was wrong, because some people are really indiscriminate based on their likes and dislikes. Make up rumors to deceive everyone! If you really want to know the facts, you should go to the Western Mediterranean, go to towns such as Crotone, Lockley, Naples, Syracuse, Tarantum, etc., Take a look, you will find that most of the people in these towns are still those of the original city-state, but their situation has been greatly improved and their lives are richer than before they joined the Kingdom of Dionysia—"
Kalistratus interjected again: "But you also said just now that Crotone, Tarantum, Lockley... These sub-states that were once our Greek city-states have lost their independence and Freedom, annexed by Dionysia, became an ordinary town under your kingdom, and even Turui, who is very familiar to us citizens of Athens, became the center of Dionysia!"
Callisturatus deliberately increased his tone when referring to Turri, causing a commotion in the venue. Then he looked at Carrias and asked questioningly: "Now the Dionysian army is stepping on With the land of Peloponnese, don’t you hold the story of letting Turiri, Crotone, and other great Greek city-states repeat, so that the whole of Greece will eventually become the purpose of your kingdom of Dionysia?!"
His words ignited a greater commotion in the venue, and even some citizens of Athens even scolded for export.
Carrias twitched his face and did not immediately excuse himself. Instead, he stood still without changing his face. Until the citizens of Athens consciously returned to silence, he sneered and said, "Callistra Master Tus, I heard that you are a respected speaker, but should the speech be respectful of facts and not made up indiscriminately!
If you understand the situation in Greater Greece, you should be aware that before the establishment of the Holy Kingdom of Dionysia, the wars of the city-states of Great Greece continued, which is not inferior to today’s Greek mainland, even the Turi you just mentioned. Yi was not occupied by Dionysia, but was burned by Crotone, another big Greek city-state you mentioned. Dionysia just rebuilt the city on the ruins of Turi.
Dionysia has never taken the initiative to invade any of the big Greek city-states, but has been continuously provoked and attacked by these city-states. For example, Crotone launched two attacks on Dionysia... Leading the Syracuse coalition, and crossing the sea to expedite the Dionysian southern Italian city-state...Tarantum tore the covenant at the crucial time of Dionysian defense of the Syracuse coalition, and attacked Dionysian. Behind... And after Carthage, a foreign city-state, declared war on Dionia, Syracuse actually colluded with them...
Dionysia defeated these powerful enemies through arduous battles, and these great Greek city-states joined the Kingdom of Dionysia. The vast majority of these city-states held civic conferences and the citizens of the city-states made their own choices. Because they don’t want to face war every day, they are always frightened. They need a strong support to protect them from the wind and rain.
Next, we all saw that there have been constant wars in the Greek mainland for more than 10 years, but during this period, the territory of Great Greece was always peaceful and peaceful, and the people lived in prosperity. Facts have proved that the choices made by the people of Great Greece were not wrong! "
The last sentence of Carias was clanging powerfully, and suddenly the meeting became quieter.
"Uh--" Callistratus would interject again.
Carias was well-educated this time, and quickly went on: "Of course Great Greece is Great Greece, and the mainland of Greece is the native of Greece. The situation is completely different. Dionysia sent troops to Peloponnese, which means nothing else, There are only two purposes.
The first is what I said just now, in order to fulfill the covenant, help Thebes, defeat the Spartans who are constantly waging wars on the Greek mainland; the second is to help the Mesenians. I remember that you in Athens had kindly helped the Mesenians who were enslaved by the Spartans many times, and our king had made a promise with the Mesenians who were exiled to Tindaris, so With this opportunity, the Mesenians, who are also Greeks, will be allowed to regain their freedom and independence.
I can swear to the gods that when Sparta is defeated, the Dionysian army will quickly withdraw to the kingdom, and will never occupy a cent of the land of Greece! "
Carias raised his hands flat, his palms up to the sky, and said solemnly.
Many citizens of Athens moved.
Suddenly a voice sounded: "The Dionysian swearing to the deity, can you tell us which deity?
Carrias saw an old man standing in front of the meeting place. He was gray-haired, but his face was a little gloomy because he was too dark.
He hesitated for a moment, then said calmly: "God Hades!"
"I heard that Dionysia regarded Hades as the patron saint of your kingdom. Is the Hades you believe to be one of the twelve main gods in Greece?" the man continued to ask.
"Of course it is," Carrias said cautiously. "It's just that Dionysia's understanding of Hades, the Hades, is a little different from the native Greek people."
The man did not ask about the difference, but said solemnly: "We Greeks believe that Hades is in charge of death and is inaccessible. Ordinary people do not even dare to call their names directly, and use "that male god" instead Esilius
There is no temple in Hades on the Greek mainland. The only temple that has no idols, no engraved names, but is closely related to Hades is in Eleusis in our Attica region, Greece. The cave at the bottom is an entrance to recognized by the Greeks. For this reason, we Greeks established a secret ritual to worship Hades. Almost all celebrities in the Greek mainland have participated in this ritual—"
"Eleusis Smith, I know."
"No, you don't know! You Dionysians don't even know!" The man growled: "Eleusis originated in Athens and was acquiesced by Hades, so it is widely revered and revered by the Greek people. It It is the most orthodox sacrifice dedicated to Hades in the entire Greek world!
And you Dionysians have vigorously built the statues and temples of Hades. Not only did they not have awe of Hades, they even made up lies of descendants of Hades to deceive the people—"
"Shut up!" Carrias yelled, angering and staring at the man: "It is the consensus of all the people of the Kingdom of Dionysia that our great King Davos is a descendant of Hades! In a short period of 30 years, he became the king of the most powerful country in the Western Mediterranean from a mercenary, and turned Dionysia from a small alliance into a powerful kingdom that encompassed the entire Western Mediterranean civilized city state. Diss’s enlightenment and blessings, at several critical moments, Hades even showed miracles to help the kingdom overcome difficulties, these were witnessed by thousands of people of the kingdom, UU read www.uukanshu.com Only citizens of the Holy Kingdom of Nea will willingly worship Hades as the protector of the kingdom and become a devout believer of Hades!
Hades is a benevolent god. He does not care about the different sacrificial methods adopted by the Greek people in different regions regarding his different views, but if someone publicly defames his son, insults the Dionysian people to Hadi. With the devout faith, the millions of Hades devout devotees of Dionia will not be afraid of hardship, life and death, and will make the blasphemer pay a heavy price! "
Under the pressure of Carias's majestic momentum, the man was a little timid, and subconsciously stepped back, forgetting to sit on the stone stairs behind him, and if he was not helped by the person next to him, he almost fell.
This person is the secret torch bearer of Eleusis and has a similar name to the Dionysian messenger-Kaliyas. The "Kaliyas peace treaty" previously signed in Sparta is to use him Named, it can be seen how prominent his reputation in Greece is.
But at the moment his poor performance caused Callistratus to frown: Hades, this is a good topic to criticize, but it is a pity that Calias has messed up! When Spartan signed the peace treaty, his performance was not good, and he should not have expected him before long.
