Chapter 506: Athens

Athens
A fleet consisting of a battleship and a sea ship was sailing on the sea, and Pei Ziyun stood on the deck of the battleship, looking out from a distance.
"Prince Paris, we're going to Athens soon," a captain came to report.
"Well, tell them, get ready for the shore."
After saying that, he said to Gzne: "When you get to the shore, go and check. I heard that there are monsters raging in Athens. I don't know if it has been solved."
"Yes, prince."
Just after the words were spoken, the outline of the port could be seen dimly, and the sea and the sky were overlooked. The white sandy beach shone brightly under the reflection of the sun.
The fleet slowly leaned on the shore in Bayrieus. At this time, Pei Ziyun was wearing a white tunic, a leather jacket, a leather wristband, and a leather hem. A bronze belt was tied around the waist, and a short sword hung out of the belt.
A group of soldiers lined up at the port of Bayrieus, and a young man greeted him and said enthusiastically, "Prince Paris, welcome you from afar."
"The great king has sent me to meet you, please get in the car."
Pei Ziyun looked at the young man and knew that the king he said was the grandson of Ericsto Menastos. He successfully driven the hero Theseus and killed, inherited the throne of his ancestors, and took office. King of Athens.
Although the force is not very strong, you can't underestimate it!
Thinking of it, he got on the chariot. The chariot had four horses. The young man drove the car himself, flung the reins, the carriage started, and headed for Athens.
Athens is one of the bustling cities. It faces the sea on three sides, with few plains and many mountains. It is inconvenient to develop animal husbandry, but it has good sea transportation, so it conducts commercial trade by sea, and mostly trades with Asia Minor.
Pei Ziyun looked closely and saw the Acropolis at first glance.
Athens, originally meant as "high city" or "city on high hill", the Acropolis is the center of Athens, built on a stone mountain 15 meters above sea level, where a temple is built, and it is also a fortress for evacuation and guarding during wartime.
"The Parthenon temple is on it!" Pei Ziyun glanced and turned to the nearby area. The farmland outside the city was divided into pieces, and there were drainage ditches between the fields and ridges.
I thought to myself: "Rotary land has been implemented, and water irrigation is relatively complete, but there is not much land."
"Even the citizens of Athens, the wealthiest family, it is only the income of 5oo wheat bucket. This is the focus of Solon's reform in the future!"
Solon determines citizenship according to property. The first level is 5oo and above, called "500 Hundred Years", and can serve as the country's governor and treasurer; the second level is above 3oo, and is called "Knighthood". They can serve as The ruling officer of the country; the third level of annual income is above 2oo wheat dou, called "bull yoke level", they can only serve as low-level officials; the fourth level: below 2oo wheat dou, collectively referred to as "daily servant level", they and the state All official positions are missed.
"This proves the lack of land. The largest landowner is nothing more than five hundred wheat buckets. One wheat bucket is equivalent to 52.3 kilograms. This has formed with the lush olives, grapes, and wheat Troy growing on the fertile and abnormal land outside the city. sharp contrast."
"Business can be a country, but it cannot be dominated."
"The address of Athens determines that it cannot really dominate, because its population and food are too dependent on external input."
When thinking about it, he had already entered the city. The Athenians were paved with slabs in the city. They were all black-eyed, and gold was not the original Greek species.
The man wore a white robe with a beard, while the woman combed it, tied it with brightly colored ribbons, and then a rich gem was adorned with a jewel on the forehead ribbon. When she saw the chariot, she avoided and bowed.
Looking again, the square, the synagogue, the arena and the theater flashed one by one. Pei Ziyun couldn't help but admire: "It is really a great city."
"Thank you for your compliment, Prince Paris." The young man who drove the car was very happy to hear it, and said, "Look, the palace is here."
Athens Royal Palace
After entering the chariot, the palace has thick palace walls, gates and pillars. When seen above, it is covered with vines. The two columns are separated from left to right and lead to many palace rooms and forests.
When Pei Ziyun was guided forward, he saw several palaces, including several statues in front of the hall, and a middle-aged man on the steps.
Pei Ziyun stepped forward to salute and said, "Thank you very much, King Menastos. Thank you for your warm welcome. Please allow me to present!"
The servant offered it immediately, but it was not too heavy, and it was slightly more important than usual-or the reputation of Prince Paris's injustice would come out.
"Oh, you are Prince Paris. In the past two months, your reputation has spread to the whole of Greece." Then, the middle-aged man gave Pei Ziyun an enthusiastic hug and entered the hall with his hands. Not bad. The king invited many people from Athens to the banquet today.
The mural was illuminated by the sun at noon, Zeus was in the clouds, and the gods were around him, holding a golden cup in each hand and drinking the fine wine.
Please sit down. The servants bring delicious food and wine. During the banquet, a group of dancers are dancing cheerfully and passionately, and the bard is singing a wonderful poem.
Pei Ziyun felt the enthusiasm of King Menastos, and the nobles whispered at the banquet, and they quite appreciated Prince Paris.
"Do you know the purpose of Prince Paris's trip?"
"I heard that it was for Hersione, the sister of King Troy Priamos, to be redeemed."
"But last time Salamis refused."
"Bringing the fleet this time, it was obviously second-hand preparation. Would Troy want to grab it back this time?"
"It was taken for granted, because Hercules captured the city of Troy in the beginning, snatched Hersione, and gave her to Ramon as his wife-all robbed."
At this point in time, no one felt that this was wrong. It was too common in this era. Some people said, "Hercules is a great hero. Prince Paris can be compared?"
"Prince Paris is not bad, he killed the Siren and the two-headed lizard, and beat the Amazon. This time in Greece, he won in multiple city-states."
"Also, Hercules is dead, and King Orestus of Argos can retaliate against his descendants. They are now said to have escaped McKinney and went to Trachs in hopes of receiving King Keuk. Protection. "
Pei Ziyun listened to these words and understood that the descendants of Hercules would participate in the battle of Troy, so he smiled and stood up and said, "Oh King Menastos, I am grateful for your hospitality, and I want to offer you A song. "
With a wave of his hand, the servant took the delicate harp and tuned the strings.
Prince Paris originally played a good piano. The sound of the piano is beautiful and can make the sea wheel fascinated. Now he is even better. Pei Ziyun smiled and pressed the string.
Suddenly, the music flowed out, and different feelings were played from the beginning, which led people back to the young age under the guidance.
The teenager was dreaming and embarked on the journey.
Laughter, tears, arrogance, pain, all kinds of suffering and frustration, and the joy of success, all were deeply attracted by the sound of Prince Paris's fingertips.
The sound of Prince Paris changes magnificently. It seems that the vast sea, rolling mountains, ancient temples, verdant olive groves, heroes and monsters fight, philosophers debate each other, bards singing melodious, and noble hunting is flourishing. .
If it weren't for the King's Hall, many people would jump up silently, which is exactly their past time.
The melody is not desolate, but it is quickly replaced by excitement. It seems that the hero is facing the ordeal and never stops until he enters a beautiful field and obtains rest.
"Is this the Elysee?" King Maya Stowe wiped away tears, and said gently, "Prince Paris, your music is so enthralling to me, even if it is Olofi, what do you have? As long as it is reasonable, I will agree. "
Pei Ziyun bowed: "King Menastos, thank you very much for coming to this great Athens, feeling the glory of the gods, and also entering your palace, receiving such warm hospitality, you are already satisfied, what else can you ask for? What about? "
"But if I get your favor, I ask that I be allowed to purchase bulls and offer sacrifices to the patron saint of Athens."
Menastos agreed happily and said, "Prince Paris, every time you go, you will respectfully sacrifice to the gods. Your piety is already well-known in Greece. How can I stop your legitimate wish? "
"Then I thank you again, King Menastos." After that, Pei Ziyun offered his resignation, and Menastos readily agreed.
Pei Ziyun got up and left, and stopped a little in front of a porch, which was carved with Athena and artemis, surrounded by Ningfu, holding a fruit basket, with grapes and peaches ,Fig.
Pei Ziyun was thinking, but he actually gave a chance just now, but King Menastos did not talk about the monster, has it been resolved?
Regardless of whether it is resolved or not, one of the important things when visiting Athens is to sacrifice Athena, the protector of Athens, and see the reaction of the god.
"Who would have thought that such enthusiastic Menastos was also a member of the siege of Troy?" Pei Ziyun thought secretly, at this time, a very young noble came forward: "Prince Paris, I will take you to the residence, then This is where the envoys and princes live. "
Embassy area, the word is correct. Ancient Greece already had similar areas. Most of the Gentiles came to the city and naturally found their way out. But for the envoys and valuable guests, there is a special service area for the outsiders. Accommodation, and when necessary, finding a civic assembly process or theater seat for them, this was the budding form of later embassies and consulates.
"Moreover, instead of arranging to live in the Royal Palace, but living in the embassy area, Menastos' enthusiasm is actually limited. Maybe, what smell did he smell?
The city in this era was actually very small, and soon arrived at a mansion. The statues of bronze and marble were placed there, and the ceiling and ground were simply decorated. Pei Ziyun was still very satisfied. He ordered Gzigne to follow him: "Gzigne, I've got the king's permission to sacrifice Athena, and you're going to buy a fine bull back. "
And the accompanying nobleman was very young and looked like a young man ~ EbookFREE.me ~ has bearded according to the habits of the Greeks, and then said with a smile: "Prince Paris, I have thirty cows. You can pick any one of them, so why buy one? "
"Thank you for your generosity, but how can I show my sincerity to the great Athena if I didn't buy it?"
"Right, what's your name?"
"De Mo Feng!" The young aristocrat thought for a while, saying that Pei Ziyun watched him leave, his expression gradually turned cold, and there was a faint look.
"Demophon, this is the son of Theseus. He did not participate in the war. He accumulated strength in Athens. When Menastos returned, he officially launched a coup, exiled the king, and regained the throne."
"This man is so deep in heart!"
