Chapter 1052 The Golden Fleece
Chapter 1053 “Gold Content”
In the myth, because Minos's son Androgeus was murdered by a conspiracy in Attica, King Minos raised an army to avenge his son, causing great disaster to the residents there.
In order to appease Minos's anger and relieve Athens from the disaster, the Athenians sued for peace from Minos and promised to send seven pairs of boys and girls to Crete every nine years as tribute. After Minos received the boys and girls, they
They were imprisoned in the labyrinth of Crete where the Minotaur lived, and the Minotaur killed them.
During the third tribute, young Theseus brought the boy and girl who had won the lottery to Crete. With the help of the Crete princess, he solved the maze with a ball of thread and used her to give it to him.
Killed the Minotaur with his sharp sword.
Princess Ariadne loved Theseus deeply, but the goddess of fate rejected their love, and Theseus later abandoned her on a desert island.
A princess may know how to deal with monsters, but she may not know how to survive on a desert island. Just when the princess was heartbroken, Dionysus, the god of wine, appeared and gave the princess a beautiful crown inlaid with crystal gems.
The crown was given as a wedding gift. Soon the princess died of illness. The usually cheerful Dionysus was very sad because of the loss of his beloved wife. He threw the crown into the air. The crown rose higher and higher, and finally rose to the ranks of the stars, becoming
Corona Borealis in the sky.
However, according to archaeological discoveries, there is indeed a labyrinth on Crete, but there is no evidence of the existence of the Minotaur.
After the Athenians captured Minos, they killed all the men and made the women and children slaves, just like they had done to Troy.
When the Athenians no longer pursued nobility and justice, evil became virtue.
Deception is regarded as shrewdness, recklessness is regarded as bravery, while loyalty, humility and generosity are regarded as weakness and stupidity.
The Athenians did not seek peace from the Minoans. Even when the Minoans expressed their hope to remain neutral in the Trojan War, the Athenian envoy said this to the Minoans: Only when both sides are evenly matched can there be justice and strength.
The stronger side gets what they want, and the weaker side pays what they have to pay.
So Minos was conquered, but they did not disappear completely. Crete entered the post-palace era, and the palace was occupied by the Mycenaeans from mainland Greece.
The murals on Crete in the post-palace era are mainly military-themed. This may be the influence of the martial arts of the Mycenaean civilization. The rule of the Mycenaeans caused disasters to Crete, with the economy collapsing and settlements gradually decreasing.
It was only when the volcano erupted that humans abandoned this city that they had carefully crafted but was finally buried in volcanic ash.
The beauty of jewelry is filled with desire, soaked in blood, witnessing glory and mocking failure.
The Golden Fleece Medal was originally made of gold. Later, the medal was inlaid with diamonds and rubies and sapphires, and was specially designed for generals and generals to wear in grand ceremonies.
Jewelry craftsmen redesigned the medal and made it detachable, divided into banquet version and daily version to meet the wearing needs of different occasions.
With the passage of time, the military significance of the Knights of the Golden Fleece has gradually weakened, and the "Knights of the Golden Fleece" has gradually evolved into a noble title of the European royal family, symbolizing supreme rights and status, rather than representing the glory of the military.
When the upper class is out of touch with the military, it is not a good thing for the country. The French royal family has a lot of jewelry, but during the critical period of the constitutional monarchy, Queen Mary and Louis XVI wanted to move the jewelry and cosmetics away.
If soldiers like money, then give it to them. The loyalty of soldiers is more important than a few stones. Many people will be confused when choosing between life and money. Louis XVI and his queen went to the guillotine as a series of wrong choices.
result.
France has been in decline since Louis XIV. Its land area has shrunk, its budget deficit is serious, its people have lost their support, it is surrounded by powerful enemies, it is in internal chaos, there are many sweet-talking sycophants in the court, there are few people who can fight like Napoleon, and there are few generals like Prince Eugen.
Even less.
After the Revolution, this superficially ostentatious Rococo style was quickly eliminated and continued to modern times. Except for judges, almost no men would wear that kind of wig as daily wear.
She still prefers a reliable man to holding a doll covered in silk. That bastard Jason is not a reliable guy.
Medea is a magic-casting princess of Cochise Island and a descendant of the sun god Helios. She fell in love at first sight with Prince Jason who came to the island in search of the Golden Fleece.
In order to help Jason obtain the Golden Fleece, Medea used her magic to help Jason complete the impossible task set by her father, on the condition that Jason would marry her. After obtaining the Golden Fleece, Medea and
Jason and Jason embarked on a journey back to Greece. Medea's father heard the news of her escape and sent her brother to recover her. Medea killed her brother and cut his body into pieces.
Cut it into pieces and throw them all over the mountain, leaving the father and the chasing policemen busy collecting the bodies to delay their departure with Jason and his party.
After Jason returned home, Medea used a trick to kill Jason's uncle who had usurped the throne.
One day, the daughters of Pelias went for a walk in the woods. When they came to a tree, they saw Medea sitting there. In front of Medea was a large bowl with a flame burning under it.
The water in it boiled. After a while, Medea brought a sheep. The sheep was old and sick, and could hardly stand. Medea killed the sheep with a knife and killed it.
Cut it into many pieces and put it into the bowl. After cooking for a while, Medea closed her eyes and muttered something. Then she suddenly opened the lid of the bowl, and a miracle happened. A lively little lamb jumped out of it.
!
The daughters of Pelias were stunned by the scene in front of them. They thought of their old and sick father. How wonderful it would be if he could rejuvenate himself! So they went to ask Medea if this bowl could also be used.
Make people younger.
Medea knew that they had been fooled, so she answered them in the affirmative and encouraged them with sweet words. After hearing Medea's words, the innocent girls ran home happily and chopped their father into pieces while he was sleeping.
But no matter how hard they cooked the broken pieces in the bowl, the young father could not get out of it. Only then did the daughters realize that they had been poisoned, but it was too late. They could only cry in each other's arms! Zeus was a little surprised.
He refused to go there because he was afraid that Medea would use this magic bowl to harm people again, so he raised it to the heaven, where it became the Great Throne.
Macron is one of the 48 constellations classified by Ptolemy and one of the southern constellations. It is located next to Corvus and is the dimmest constellation in the zodiac.
The fountain of youth that rejuvenates youth should be what many people yearn for, especially women who long for eternal youth and beauty.
Time will make a woman's face full of wrinkles. Men always like young and beautiful women. This is a big temptation. If Mongnius Hagrid needs to be guarded, then he can use the "Youth Potion" as a temptation. The premise is that
This kind of thing really does exist.
The faces of the challengers will not be peeled off and hung on the wall by themselves. They should be guarded by someone, just like the crows as "servants".
"how are you feeling?"
Severus asked after Nadia had finished eating and drinking.
"She wants to disguise herself as an ignorant woman." Pomona looked at Nadia's back by the window and sneered, "but she is a poor actress."
"What do you think of your acting skills?" Severus asked again.
"It's okay..." she said conservatively.
Severus sneered ruthlessly.
"Stay alert tonight." He pinched her cheek, "Be careful of being attacked by someone."
"That shouldn't be the case," Felix asked.
"What we are looking for is on the same level as the Golden Fleece." Severus glanced at Felix. "What do you think?"
"If you dare to fall in love with someone else," she said angrily, "I will kill you..."
"Who do you think I will fall in love with?" Severus interrupted her.
Sometimes, she felt that she was inexplicable, but she was a woman, so she beat this bad guy to vent her anger.
He simply didn't think her fist existed, even if she punched him in front of Felix.
This shows that he is either in a good mood, or he is planning something in his mind and has no time to pay attention to her.
As for the general who received the Order of the Golden Fleece, Pomona simply didn't believe that such a person really existed. A boring story seemed to become legendary as long as it was related to a legend. The French did not have the right to award medals, and a Spanish
People brought French troops to support the French troops stationed in Italy. Who would believe such a far-fetched story?
