Harry Potter: Glory of the King

Chapter 57: History of Greek Magic

"But the most suitable place for giants to survive at the time was Mount Olympus. Cronus's son Zeus retrieved his exiled brothers and sisters, defeated Cronus and exiled. Cronus was unwilling to unite with his brothers. We counterattacked again, and once close to victory, Zeus cleverly found his uncles who had been exiled, the Cyclops invented magic weapons and helped the Zeus brothers to use magic to defeat the giants such as Cronus. The giant with hundreds of arms was even more powerful. Although there are only three, but as long as they are not besieged, they are invincible. This is also the famous Titan Rebellion.” Professor Bins said here, and a rare addition: “Although this history is earlier than the Twilight War, but Since the main body of history is a giant, it will be described later."

"After the Titan Rebellion, because humans supported the original Titans, Zeus exiled the humans who participated in the rebellion, which is the Silver Age. The remaining humans continued to serve the Titans headed by Zeus, but their status was not as good as before. Also known as the Bronze Age." Professor Spinner said, paused. "The Bronze Age ended in the Great Flood. What's interesting is that this great flood is recorded in many historical sources-Noah's Ark, Babylonian flood records, ancient China's Great Yu governing water, ancient Indian Aztec fourth The era of the flood era and so on. We have reason to believe that the whole world encountered a great flood at that time. Remember that after the battle between the Odin brothers and Yumir in Northern Europe, the flood was also mentioned. A certain number of magical historians believed that This time the great flood is the same. But in the end it is recognized that the wizards of the Assad faction led by Odin used this method to kill the giants, and the source of inspiration may be from Greek historical materials.

"The giants of Greece exposed a huge flaw in this flood. Although they were tall and ordinary water could not drown them, it also led to their inability to water. Once they encounter a flood that they cannot resist, then The death rate of giants is extremely high." Professor Bins returned to his original state of reading the text. "Because of the heavy casualties of the Titans, in order to continue the race, Zeus had to choose to combine the giants with humans, giving birth to many half-giants. At the same time, various magical creatures and wizards began to be active, so it was called the age of heroes. Out of the position of ruler."

"There are many major events in the Heroic Age. The earliest incident was theft of fire by Prometheus. This incident actually occurred at the end of the Bronze Age. Due to the low status of humans during that period, dissatisfaction gradually accumulated. Prometheus was Urano. The grandson of Si and the nephew of Cronus, he saw the dissatisfaction of humans and other creatures with Zeus, so he decided to use these powers. He found those humans who can perceive magic power, that is, the prototype of wizards, and taught them How to use magic. But Zeus discovered this and used Pandora’s Box to create a plague to try to kill the wizard, and imprisoned Prometheus. Then the war between the wizard and the Titan broke out, and the leader of the wizard, Lycaon, was used by Zeus. The transformation curse turned into a wolf, and the magic of both sides created a huge flood. The wizards had long been prepared. Prometheus' son Deucalion drove the human wizards to escape, and the Bronze Age ended. "Professor Bins finished reading this paragraph, and Ona noticed that almost everyone was on the ground again. Just after lunch, it was a warm noon. Professor Bins’s lecture was like the deepest hypnotic spell, which brought down all the students including Glory. Hermione was struggling to support it. Ona was The only student who listened attentively.

"Zeus found that many giants died in this flood, and humans and all kinds of magical creatures have come back. He can only choose to hide in Olympus. Human wizards occupy most of the territory, but Zeus is not willing to fail, so he lets the giants Integrate with humans. In addition, he also tried to provoke the struggle between humans. In the heroic era, most heroes fought with magical creatures. The more famous ones are Cadmus killing the poisonous dragon and Perseus wearing flying shoes. Killed Medusa and the sea monsters, Atalante shot the horses, Mele Agros assassinated the wild boar Caludon, Pelelovon rode the Pegasus and killed Camelia, the birth of Zeus The half-giant Hercules killed Hydra and the giant lion Nimea," Professor Bins paused. "According to the record, Nimea restored his human form before his death. This is also the earliest recorded one in history. Animagus."

"After that, an important event happened, Jason joined many heroes to seize the Golden Fleece, including Hercules. Along the way, he killed the six-armed giant, helped the prophet Phineus drive away the strange bird, and experienced many sufferings. In the end, Jason married the witch Medea and got the Golden Fleece with her help. On the return journey, with Orpheus's help, he resisted the temptation of the sea monster and killed the giant Talos." Bin Professor Si turned a page and read on. "The last wizard leader who is well-documented is Theseus. His deeds include killing the dark wizard Periftus, Sinnis, Schiron, Kerkuon, Masters, and killing the wild boar Feia, The bison marathon, the half-bull Minotaur, became the leader of the wizard after success, which greatly developed the Athenian faction. He married the Amazonian warrior Hippolyte and triggered a war. Although he won, he fought against Hippolyte. He died. Later, he helped his brother Piritoos to kill the crowd of expelled horses, but after a long time, the elderly Theseus later lost control of Athens and eventually died in a sneak attack by Lycomods."

"Although some of the heroes are half-giants, Zeus wants to restore his dominance all the time, and in the end he provoked the biggest wizard war-the Trojan War. This war was about the 12th century BC, and it was caused by the wizard Pa Rees eloped with Zeus’ daughter Helen, Helen’s husband, Meneolas, the leader of the Spartan faction, and the leader of the Mycenae faction, and his brother Agamemnon, attacked the Trojan faction together.” Professor Bins said here, will A series of personal names reported: "This war involves almost all Greek wizards. The attacking party, Protetheras and Paloclos, were killed by Hector, and Trepolemos. He was assassinated by Sarpedon, Perifas was killed by Titan Titan Ares, and Achilles was shot by Paris with a secret arrow. Not only that, but the contradictory attacker also had internal friction-Odysseus framed and killed it. Paramedes died, and another wizard Ayas committed suicide because of injustice in rewarding him."

"But as the final victor, the coalition has achieved brilliant results-Diomedes threw a spear to kill Pandaros, joined forces with Odysseus to assassinate Rexos, Agamemnon killed Coon, and Tecross. Kill Gorguthion, Alctopolemos, Achilles kill Hector, the Amazon warrior leader Penthesia, and the wizard Mennon from Africa, Philocthetes Shoot and kill Paris, the son of the leader of the Trojan faction that caused the war. In the end, Odysseus used a Trojan horse, and the prophet of the Trojan faction, Laocoon, saw through the plan, but was killed by two giant snakes in the dark. Death. That night, the defensive Trojans were slaughtered. So far, the ten-year-long Trojan War ended, the Trojan faction was destroyed, and the attacking Mycenaean faction also suffered heavy losses."
