In ancient Greece, Adus was a handsome and combative prince. One year, his father, Krossos, had a strange dream, predicting the doom of the prince's assassination. In order to prevent trouble, the king tried his best, but that day came quietly...
In ancient Greece, Kingdom (Lydia) Croesus (Croesus, 595 BC) In 546 BC, another translation (Cloisos) was the monarch of all the peoples west of the Harus River, and was the first to conquer Greece. Under his rule, "all Greeks are free".
Krossos had two sons, one of whom was deaf and mute, born disabled, and even his name was not recorded by the historian. The other son is Atys, who is brave and good at fighting, often leads a large army in battle, and is a very good prince.
One day, Krossos had a dream. The dream predicted that his son Adus would be stabbed to death by an iron sharp weapon. After waking up, he recalled his dreams carefully, and he couldn't help feeling terrified.
To take precautions, the king dismissed the military affairs of Adus. All sharp weapons such as spears, throwing spears , etc. were removed from the prince’s bedroom.
Just when the king was talking about the prince's marriage, a young man with blood stained hands came to the capital, asking for asylum, and begging to cleanse him from sin. The young man named Adrastos (abbreviated as Ade) was the royal family of Prigia. He killed his brother because of a mistake, and was driven out of the kingdom by his father Gordias, depriving him of everything.
In ancient Greek culture,There is a ritual to cleanse sin karma. Those who bear the crime of killing relatives will be cleansed by the king, oracles, and priests to forgive his sins.
Otherwise, the person will have to spend the rest of his life in long-term exile and atonement in order to be purified. If someone fails to pay for their sins, Ernyes, the three goddess of anger, will come to the world from the nether land, arrest him, and slap the sinner with a long whip.
To the guilty, they will chase the guilty day and night, causing them to suffer tribulations until they go crazy.
The young man feared the punishment of the goddess, and asked the king for mercy to wash his sins. So Krossos held a washing ceremony for him.
The king urged the young people that since they came to a friend's house, just stay, don't take the tragic experience to heart, and tell him to take care of himself. So Ade lived in Lydia and became friends with Prince Adus.
A huge pig monster appeared in Mesiah, and no one was able to subdue it. They sent people to Lydia for help and asked Prince Adus to lead his army to help them destroy the pig monsters.
Thinking of that terrible dream, Crossos only promised to send Sergeant Lydia and all the hounds, but he would not let Prince Adus participate in this matter. Nevertheless, Mesiah was very satisfied with the king's reply.
Prince Adus has always believed that fighting and hunting are the most beautiful and noble things that can make him win honor. But the father refused him to participate, so he ran to ask the father, did he think he was a cowardly and cowardly person?
So Krossos talked to him about the oracle in his dream. He didn't want to see an accident happen to his beloved son.
Adus said, since the dream is about being stabbed by an iron sharp object,It must be an iron gun. Pig's teeth are not made of iron. Pig monsters are not humans. Without hands, how could they throw a gun? So insisted on going.
Krossos thought his explanation was reasonable, so he agreed to go. Just in case, he called Ade and asked him to take care of Adus and don't let him suffer any harm.
Ade thought he was a sinner. Fortunately, he came to Lydia and the king held a "washing" ceremony to wash away the blood of the murder.
He also wants to have the opportunity to repay the king’s favor. He promises to take care of Adus as instructed and use all his strength to protect the prince. "Please believe that I will do my best as a protector to keep him safe. To send it back."
So they set off with the army and hounds. When they came to Mesiah, everyone besieged the pig monster and threw iron guns at it. Ade also shot one, but the iron spear stabbed Prince Adus.
When the news reached Lydia, Krossos was in great grief, and all the precautions were in vain. His son was stabbed to death in the end, and he was stabbed to death by the bloodstained man he washed himself.
He was heart-stirring, painful, but powerless, he could only shout the names of the gods loudly.
Everyone returned the body of Adus, and Ade stood in front of him, leaving the king at his disposal. He willingly died by the prince.
Although Krossos could not bear the pain of losing his son, he still comforted Ad: "Since you have pronounced the death penalty on yourself, then I have received the full compensation I need from you."
The king knew that this was what was predicted to happen, and the young man was not at fault.Because he got the instruction from the oracle, the death of his son is irreparable. The king forgave Ad and buried his dead son. However, after the funeral was over, Adelaide waited for the people to disperse, and stood alone on the cemetery to commit suicide to atone for his sins.
A strange dream oracle. In the story, there is the impermanence of human destiny, and the virtue of the king's temperance, which is fully displayed in the life of Krossos.
