Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The bell stopped, and Plesinus walked out of the crowd with the saints, stood on either side of the entrance to the temple, and began to sing in unison.

This time, it’s no longer just a pure song, but with the lyrics:

Hades is fair and strict.

Your radiance shines on the earth,

We are full of enthusiasm in our hearts.

Come to your temple,

Your light shines on us,

......"

"This is... Is this a new Hades ode?!" The hearts of the people are full of surprises, and the different melody is so beautiful. As the song continued, they were completely impressed by the holiness and ideals that the song showed.

Countless people fell to the ground with devout words, humming Hades's songs in their mouths, tears of excitement in their eyes...

When the song ended, some people couldn’t leave for a long time until the people around they cheered: “Davers!!!...” They discovered that I don’t know when the Dionysian Archon, the Union High Priest, Davis, dressed in a white robe, The first batch of white towels and the torch in his hand appeared on a circular altar in front of the temple, while Plasinus was on his side, carrying another large, smooth concave surface with another male priest. Bronze mirror.

The people were curious and wide-eyed, because there were rumors before that the veterans of the Senate had had a heated discussion about the "Hadis Temple Fire". Because the Holy Fire is not only the spirit of the Greek city-state people, but also the inheritance of civilization, especially the Greek city-states of the Western Mediterranean. They are all colonial cities. The holy fire of the Acropolis is not just a fire source. It was the colonial city builder who took a kind of ignition from the temple of the mother state and kept it until the temple was built in the new city. Then the fire was ignited by the fire, and it was burned for generations to show the homeland and the fire!

Therefore, the elders born in Turui, led by Polksis, proposed to introduce fire again from Athens. They were strongly opposed by Antonios, Amintas and others. The reason is that the old Turui has ceased to exist. Turui is not an Athens sub!

As for Cornelus’s proposal to “fire from the Temple of Zeus in Amendola”, the Turai veterans believed that the small town of Amendola was not enough to represent the entire Dionya.

The disputes between the parties were fierce. In the end, Daves said: "Since Dionia is a newly built city-state alliance and has no mother state, Hades Temple is almost the only city-state patron temple in the Mediterranean. Then I think, there is Hades gave us a holy fire on the day of the temple celebration to show his grace for Dionia!"

These words were spread throughout the city that day and soon spread throughout the league. Now, whether it is the ordinary people, the veterans of the Senate, or the VIPs who just got the news, they are curious and excited to watch the unlit torch in the hands of the high priest, waiting for the miracle to happen, or looking forward to the biggest joke in Greece. .

Davers faced the entrance to the temple, and his solemnity was on the altar, holding the torch in his hand.

Plessinus and the priests took a few steps back, struggling to lift the bronze mirror, slowly turning, adjusting the angle, and focusing the hot sun on a cluster of sedges protruding from the top of the torch...

The well-known Hades carols sang again from the mouth of the saints, and the voice passed...

At noon, the sun is roasting everyone, the sweaty people are unaware, and the attention is always projected on the unmoving Daves...

Time is one minute and one second.

The bronze mirror is dazzling, and the torch remains the same...

"What Hades would give to the Holy Fire, I think he is arrogant, I really think that I can do anything!" Polluxs sneered, and the words Daves said at the meeting place can spread so widely. So fast, he has made a lot of force from it. He hopes to see Dafos ugly at this moment, which will greatly undermine the prestige of the young consul!

Burks touched him with his hand and kindly reminded him to keep quiet.

Polluxs returned a blank eye. Burkes is a good friend of his time. Now in the Senate, one of the strong supporters of Daves in the veteran Turai, if not for some reason, Polluxs does not want to go back with him.

Suddenly, he saw that the top of the torch seemed to have smoked. He thought he was wrong and blinked hard.

The screams of one after another have come from all directions.

Soon, the blue smoke turned into a small cluster of beating red and yellow flames, quickly igniting the linen soaked in olive oil.

Flame, burning!

"Hey, Hades!" The people who witnessed this miracle greeted the landslide and tsunami, and the whole hill seemed to be shaking.

Even the VIPs face each other, and their faces are unbelievable: Is it true that Dionia is being taken care of by Hades? !

Did Davis really get the help of Hades? ! The veterans looked at Devers in front of them in awe, and the body of Pollux was trembling slightly. He seemed to see Hades's majestic eyes in the torch of Daves looking at him coldly.

Daves secretly sighed, although he had practiced several times before, even specially selected sunny days, and used the square performance to extend the ignition ceremony to noon, but his heart was still awkward. After all, this was in front of tens of thousands of people. In case of messing up, his deliberate plans and the reputation of the gods will be destroyed! Fortunately, Hades blessed, he succeeded!

Davers slowly stood up, held the torch high, and walked for a week. He smiled and enjoyed the cheers of the people like the waves in the storm, pushing him to the top again and again...

Then, accompanied by the priests, he stepped into the temple and lit the dark black bronze brazier in front of the statue of Hades. From then on, the holy fire of the Temple of Hades would stay up all night and bless the prosperity of Dionia.

When Daves walked out of the temple, the loud military horn sounded, accompanied by the deep drums, headed by the three captains of Capps, Drax and Hieronymus, plus eight captains, all over the body. Three stone tablets were carried, and they were escorted by 40 captains and came to the temple.

When most of the people were puzzled and looked at the three stone monuments with one person high, the words of the high priest were sent to the ears of the people with the help of the voice: "The establishment and development of the Union of the City of Dionia, It is inseparable from the blessing of Hades! It is also inseparable from the efforts of the citizens! Today, when we enjoy peace and prosperity, please don’t forget the warriors who have given their lives to defend Diaonia! Their names are all Engraved on these three stone monuments, Hades appreciates their loyalty and heroism to the Alliance, allowing their souls to enter the temple, turn into a spirit, continue to defend Daionia, and accept the descendants and descendants of the Dionyrians. Admiration and worship!" After that, Daves looked solemnly in front of the stone tablet.

Immediately afterwards, the head of the army, the captain of the captain, the captain of the team, and all the soldiers present were facing the stone monument and squatting on the ground.

In the eyes of the public, the stone tablet full of handwriting is no longer a cold stone, but a famous figure with a surname, a vivid figure...

"Oh..." In addition to the VIPs, the people of Dionia who are stumbling over the mountains and plains are crying out in this solemn atmosphere. Those who are crying are the soldiers of the dead soldiers. .

"The warrior is not dead, the spirit is forever!"

"The warrior is not dead, the spirit is long!"

......

Davers led the people to behead the stone monument.

At this moment, there is love in the grass, the world is in sorrow, and the wind is blowing at the right time. Even the sun is blocked by the clouds, and the people are convinced that their shouts have responded.

For a time, the prayers of the people have lasted for a long time...

The military number and the drums played together, and the officers and team officers took a neat step. Under the eyes of millions of eyes, they carried the stone monument into the temple.

"The Diaonians can respect the warriors to such a degree!" Lucias had heard that Dionia had held a triumphant form for the army that had returned from victory. At this moment, they saw the stone tablets of the war dead. Into the temple, can not help but be moved.

"With such a sacred move, how can the Diaonian citizens not be willing to fight to death!" The Crotone Naval Commander Ascamas on the side also had no taunting feelings and a serious face.

He and Lucias look at each other and think in the same question: In the future, if there is a war with Dionya, can Crotone defeat such a highly moralian Diaonian?

The VIPs from the Nanyi League have more or less such feelings, and for Carnos of Elia, the power of Diaonia is exactly what he is happy to see.

After the drum sound disappeared, the harp sounded again...

In the melodious sound of the piano ~www.novelmtl.com~ Little Heraclitus and Piasix carried a half-length stone statue to the temple.

"Denian people, please tell me who designed the new city of Turui? Who led us to build it?" Dafos asked aloud.

"...is Heraclitus." The answer was intermittent.

"Who designed and built the Temple of Hades?" Daves asked again.

"Herachid!" This time the answer was much more neat.

"Whether it is building a new city or a temple, who is always the earliest to come, the latest to go, and seriously ill, still have to put all their efforts on his love of this city building, and finally dedicate his life?" Daves asked again loudly: "Who is he?!"

"Herlicke!!!" A neat and powerful answer echoed between the hills.

"In view of Heracledo, the architect's contribution to Dionya, his statue will enter the sages of the temple, get the favor of Hades, continue to use his talent to contribute to the Elysées! At the same time, in the years to come, as long as the people of Dionia make a great contribution to the prosperity and development of Diaonia, their statues will also be stationed in the temple, and will be respected by future generations. Save!" Due to the miracle of the Holy Fire, Davers is now like Hades, and his words are more motivating to the people.

Note: Regarding the fact that holding a concave copper mirror to focus on the sunlight can not ignite the papyrus, some of them are not sure at the beginning. Then I remembered the roman siege of Syracuse in the history of the past century. Archimedes designed a lot of equipment to help defend the city. One of them was to let the soldiers stand in the city, holding hundreds of concave bronze mirrors and focusing on the sun. The sails of the Roman ships anchored in the bay were ignited. The sails can be ignited, the papyrus should be easier, and the distance is too much.
