Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The whole square suddenly became silent inside and outside, and the priestess seemed to be unaware of the scene outside, and squinted slowly to the platform, igniting the brazier in front of it with a torch, and the burning flame represented the gods. Blessing.

Then, facing the square, she opened her lips gently, and the soft and penetrating voice was hard to imagine coming from her seemingly delicate body, so that the people could not help but indulge in it.

Leading her, the priests sang the hymns together.The singing is full of caring for children, caring for women, admonishment of marriage, and protection of the family... so the singing is neither high-pitched nor mournful, but just like the elders, slowly and slowly. ...

After the carol is over, there is still peace inside and outside the square, and people seem to be immersed in the carol teachings.

At this moment, the flame in the brazier suddenly became vigorous.

"Hera showed up! She was watching us!" The people suddenly clamored, and they thought it was a good sign.

The priest Ignatius smiled slightly, and this smile suddenly shone like sunshine into the hearts of the people: "Great God Hera bless you!"

As soon as her words fell, the people finally cheered, and the melodious music also sounded at this time.

A couple was put in by the patrol and entered the square one after another. The whole square quickly became crowded.

They started dancing awkwardly with the music.The Greeks are a people who are good at sports, but not good at dancing. It’s just that Davis made a simple adaptation based on the ballroom dance of the previous life, and let the specially trained couples perform at the marriage festival celebration last year, which immediately attracted the public’s respect. And strive to learn.

This time, everyone held their feet and bravely entered the venue to show their family style.The couple joined together in a narrow space, stepped on a simple step, looked at each other, circled, and changed gestures...Although the movements were simple and repetitive, the people were jumping and happy, even singing and dancing outside the square.

In the dance, the wife feels that her husband is more attractive, and the husband feels that his wife is more beautiful, and everyone is intoxicated. This is precisely the purpose of this link of Davos design: the family is the cornerstone of the city-state, and the family solid is Boning.

Even the priestess on the platform could not bear the slight movement of the body, and hummed music in a low voice.

At this time, a lively priestess dared to whisper to Agnès: "Master priest, this dance was created by the ruler, do you also dance with the ruler at home on weekdays?"

The priestess' words made Agnès's ruddy mouth curl up with a smile.She was a more traditional Greek woman. At first, the Liggimus rejected Dionysius’ proposal, leading to no one daring to marry. She did not complain, and silently entered the Temple of Artemis as a priest. After several years, she thought Will live like this in plain life and grow old alone.Who knows, Artean has mercy on this beautiful girl.Syracuse's strength threatened Li Jim's survival. Agnes was shouldered with the hope of the people of the city and was sent to the strange Turiyi blankly.She thought that the rumored famous general and Dionysia's wise consul would be an overbearing person, but Davers surprised her with tenderness and thoughtfulness beyond this era.

But at the moment, she raised her face and scolded: "It is a celebration now, Hera is on, we must devote ourselves to it!"

The priestess knew that although Agnes was the chief priest of the Temple of Hera, but she had a gentle personality and was kind and friendly to her subordinates, she would not be really angry, but they still obediently stopped talking and stood up again.

……………………………

At the moment, Effie Alter in the Temple of the Rainbow Goddess Iris was mixed with excitement and tension. He looked around for years and found that most men and women were like this. Only a young man caught his attention, but he was upright Sat on the ground, eyes closed, as if asleep.

Effiart looked at it curiously and found that he did not know the person.He didn't know that the man's identity was extraordinary. The former Spartan prince Leotizides was his name.After living in Turri for several years, Leotizides is now a citizen of Dionysia, a squad leader of the First Army, and at the urging of his old servant, he also found a partner.But the Spartans have a different aesthetic than ordinary Greeks. They like women who are physically strong, have a distinct personality, and can even be said to be tough. Like his mother, when Leotizides first entered the battlefield, he personally sent Give him a newly made copper shield and tell him,'Either take it to fight or be carried back by it.'So, Leotizides got engaged to a bruti girl with a stronger personality than Bisinha.

"Everyone, please arrange in order as soon as possible. The blessing ceremony will begin soon! As soon as the music sounds, you follow me one by one into the square slowly, understand?" The priest in charge of guidance reminded these newlyweds again .

Effie Alter's spirit is revived: it is finally starting!

A soothing and gentle but solemn music was introduced into the temple. The priestess with a flower basket took the lead out of the temple. Efiart's fiancee took his arm and followed.

The moment they entered the square, the two were stunned: this is already a sea of ​​flowers!Colorful petals spilled out from the hands of the people on the side of the field, from the cutely dressed children on the square...dropped down, turned into flower carpets, let them step forward...

Outside the venue, thousands of people also waved colorful cloths and cheered them loudly, and even acquaintances directly shouted their names and blessed them.

In this lively scene that attracts the attention of thousands of people, every couple is excited and excited, as if they have become the happiest couple in the world.

At the end of the music, they were already standing under the steps in front of the Temple of Hera.

After the noise from Agnes and other off-sites was calmed down, she said, "Young men and women, Cupid hits you with arrows of love. Under the guidance of Aphrodite, you fell in love. , Came here under the attention of Hera.

Hera asked me to ask the men on the court, would you like to be the husband of this beautiful woman beside you?Willing to respect her until she is old, doing her best to build a new home, not to work hard, not to break the law, do her best to become an excellent citizen of the city-state, build and defend her home?!"

"Yes!" Every man replied loudly without hesitation, because the priest's question was their goal.

"Women on the field, Hera asked me to ask you, would you like to be the wife of this strong man beside you? Willing to love him, respect him, take care of him until he is old, and take care of his housework and manage slaves , Raise children and make them grow up to be excellent citizens of the city-state?!"

The delicate women replied extremely resolutely at the moment; "Yes!"

Agnes looked out of the court: "Does anyone now object to any couple on the court becoming couples? If so, please say it now!"

No one disagreed.

Agnes exhaled lightly, opened her arms, and declared aloud: "Now I declare that you will become a couple under the witness of Hera, and hope you will love each other in the future forever! If anyone destroys your marriage and family , Then no matter who he is, he will bear the anger of Hera and the justice trial of the Dionysian Union! Now, every husband on the field can kiss your beautiful wife."

The voice of Agnes just fell, and the brazier beside him burst into flame again, sparkling with sparks.

"Hera! Hera!" the people and newcomers exclaimed.

At this time, the music sounded.Compared with the solemn and sacred melody when entering the field, this piece of music is beautiful, warm, sweet and full of happiness.

Effiart's wife blushed and closed her eyes.When my lips and lips are together, there is only one thought in my heart: Effie Alter insists on attending the Turri Marriage Festival is correct, no regrets in this life!...

And Leotizides's wife opened her eyes and looked at her husband with tears lingering in her eyes when she kissed her, but she was a little surprised: Has a husband who always has a hard character even cry?!

She did not know that Leotizides thought of the humiliated and suicide mother in the blessing of ten thousand people. At this important moment, he still lacks the blessings of loved ones!...

At this time, it was already afternoon.The people who arrived at the temple early in the morning and the newlyweds in the square were tired and hungry, but none of them turned back home, but everyone was eager to try, because the last celebration of the marriage festival is about to begin.

When Agnes just spit out the word "splashing water", all the people immediately picked up the earthen jar filled with fresh water and threw it at the nearby people.But the children who were in charge of flowering at the moment got into the field and sprinkled water on the couple, causing the bride to scream and the groom to stand up for protection.Among the playful children are Cynthia, his younger brother Adoris, and school classmates...

For a time, the inside and outside of the venue were boiling, and the water was splashing.

The people who splashed the water rushed to the Krati River next to the temple, scooped the water and continued to fight, which is one of the reasons why the Temple of Hera was built by the river.

The water was wet on Heaton who was wearing it, and the men directly lowered their upper body clothes and tied them only around their waists to reveal a strong body.The Greeks admired the beauty of the body, and the Dionysians were no exception. Moreover, the population of this newly established city-state alliance was mainly composed of immigrants, and most immigrants were still young. After working and living, they accepted In general, there are far more military trainings in Greek city-states. They are more robust, more agile, and more willing to show the results of these trainings.

The women's coats are all wet, the curves are full, and they don't care much, because everyone is like this.
