The order in the court was suddenly a little disordered, and someone was shouting, "Aesop, this is contempt for the court and God! Put him to death, he must be executed! " The judge knocked on the table for a long time to silence everyone. Then Antonio, the Delphi Messenger, said, "your honor, citizens of miduli, just as the city of yalen punished Socrates, if Aesop chooses this way, give him a glass of poisonous wine!"
Thales sighed. The scene in the Court seemed to be a repeat of history. A similar scene happened in the city of yalen many years ago. Aristotle's teacher was Plato, and Plato's teacher was Socrates, the famous sage of yalen. Socrates was once accused in the court of yalen city-state, and the charge was the same as Aesop today - "preaching new gods, poisoning and corrupting young people."
Although Socrates pleaded, the court of the city-state of Yaron at that time still declared his guilt: in front of the gods, Socrates was an evil doer and a strange person. He peeped into the secrets of heaven and earth, but taught others regardless of right and wrong.
The court found Socrates guilty, but he could offer another punishment instead of imprisonment. As a result, Socrates proposed to pay a fine of 30 silver coins. Such contempt angered the court and he was finally sentenced to death. At that time, many people, including his student Plato, were willing to provide guarantee for Socrates. However, Socrates did not intend to admit his guilt and gave in. He chose to be executed.
At that time, Socrates drank a cup of poisonous wine. Obviously, Aesop and Antonio, the envoy of Delphi, knew the famous allusion. So when Aesop said something, Antonio called out in court to give him a glass of poisonous wine.
Aesop's cousin and three nephews wept bitterly. Red Ackerman yelled to the judge, "no, don't do this. I'm willing to pay for my cousin the heaviest fine in the history of the city."
But the judge shook his head and said, "such a request can only be made by Mr. Aesop Ackerman himself. Isso Ackerman, do you insist on what you just said?"
Someone is shouting: "kill him, kill him!"
Aesop nodded his head and said, "yes, I insist."
The judge finally said, "in that case, the city court can only sentence you to death. Why choose this? You didn't have to die! "
Aesop replied, "your honor, may I tell you another story..."
Or the story of a wolf and a sheep, the wolf in pursuit of sheep, sheep fled into the temple. The wolf cried out outside the temple, "come out quickly, or you will be offered as a sacrifice by the priest." The sheep answered in the temple, "I am not afraid of death. I would rather give it to the gods than be devoured by you."
It was Aesop's last story, and he was given a glass of poisoned wine.
This is the fate of Socrates, even the accusation is the same, but Aesop and Socrates' behavior is different. Socrates is only questioning the way the gods exist, while Aesop's accusation of "preaching new gods, poisoning and corrupting young people" is settled.
Aesop was one of the richest merchants in miduli. Although he did not believe in the gods here, he did not offend anyone. Hermes, the patron god, and the high priest of the city had sought him out, but there was nothing to do. But his move to bring gold back to Delphi, the holy land, angered the people of miduli. It was not because they hated Aesop, but because they were afraid of the gods' sin, and the envoys of Delphi, the holy land, came here and identified Aesop as the sinner in the oracle.
Antonio's accusations cost Aesop his life, and the holy emissary said during the execution: "in the name of the gods, I have deprived Aesop of his life and taken away the evil soul. He is the one who blasphemes and offends the gods, and he is here today to be punished. "
Those who first came to the cities of the hitton Peninsula may wonder why a sage like Socrates was executed at that time? Because the atmosphere of discussion here seems to be quite open, people seem to be able to talk about various topics at will in the temple square, which is quite free. The plays in the theater also arrange gods in various ways.
But on the other hand, people regard the arrangement of gods as their freedom, and they have the right to decide what to think of their gods, but Aesop's behavior can not be tolerated. Aesop's sin was not to orchestrate the Olympian gods, but to ignore their gods, deny the meaning of this belief, and preach another faith. This is not only what the Olympian gods would not like to see, but also unacceptable to the so-called free and open city-state of hitton.
There are two oracles that push Aesop to his tragic fate, but it is the people here who judge and execute Aesop.
According to the elder's last words, his body was cremated and ashes were scattered into the sea. However, Antonio did not leave miduli immediately. As a holy emissary, Antonio gave the city-state a chance to sacrifice to the gods. The merchants offered the gold that Aesop had brought back, and entrusted the holy envoys to the Delphi temples. But Aesop's cousin and three nephews took back Aesop's share of gold and did not give it to the Olympian gods.
Antonio completed the task, found and killed the sinner pointed out in the Oracle, accepted a large amount of gold, and was ready to leave miduli. But on this day, two foreigners came to miduli, a young man in a carriage and another majestic knight. They entered the city court and went straight to the city court.Many people recognized them as Amun and medanzo, who escorted Aesop back to his hometown. At the beginning, people here did not hear of Amun's name. Now five years later, Aesop told so many stories about Amun here. This name has become a legend among young people in miduli.
Amun came to file a complaint. According to the regulations of the city-state, he asked Thales, a local citizen and respected sage, to write a complaint. The object of the complaint was Antonio, the envoy sent by Delphi. This incident caused a great sensation in the city of miduli. As a stranger, this kind of accusation may not be accepted by the court of miduli. However, the court gave Amun an opportunity to be questioned by the public to decide whether he could file a complaint.
Antonio, the Delphi emissary, did not have to attend such a question, but for the glory of the gods, he went to hear what Amun wanted to accuse him in person? If the court finds that Amun's complaint is unreasonable, the young man from the countryside will also be punished by the city-state of miduli.
In court, the judge asked, "young man from other countries, we all know that you were Aesop's coachman and helped him manage the farm. Aesop was very kind to you. Now that your former employer has passed away, your grief is understandable, but that does not justify your complaint. You must prove that Lord Antonio has harmed your own interests before you are eligible to file a complaint. "
Amon replied, "Aesop owes me something that he has not paid back. If this man's accusation has killed innocent Aesop and made me unable to take back what belongs to me, do I have the right to sue him and claim compensation from him? "
The judge was puzzled and said: "Aesop's entire inheritance has been inherited by the Ackerman family. If he owes you anything, you should go to red Ackerman, Aesop to repay, not to sue Lord Antonio."
Amon shook his head and said, "what Aesop owes me is not money, but a slave's identity and a finger. I can't have someone else become my slave instead of Aesop, nor can I have an innocent person cut off a finger to pay for Aesop. It is this man who deprived Aesop of his life in the name of the gods. If Aesop is innocent, then he should bear the responsibility. "
The court was in chaos again. Was Aesop a slave to Amun and owed the coachman a finger? People can't believe it. They ask people around them in surprise. At this time, someone remembered Aesop's story and whispered to the people around him that the news spread in whispers. This young man even said such words, then it shows his identity - Amun, the great general of eju at that time!
According to legend, Amun is a God who came to the world! How could he become Aesop's coachman and come to miduli again! However, Amun did not claim to be a God in court. He just came to accuse Antonio.
The judge also heard people's comments. He was sweating on his forehead, but in order to maintain the dignity of the court, he could not say anything more. He always felt that the chair under his buttocks was uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and said in a hoarse, trembling voice, "stranger, I want to remind you that if you can't provide evidence, you will be punished by the city of mituli for your words and deeds in court."
Amun took out a pupil of the earth from his arms and said, "the evidence is here. Ask a priest who knows the medium level information divinity to demonstrate the information recorded in it in public, so that people can judge whether it is true or not. This stone will be used as the court fee I pay to the city court of miduli. "
Soon a priest came and took the pupil of the earth and showed two pieces of light and shadow information by magic. They were scenes many years ago. I don't know what means Amun used to record them in the pupil of the earth and reproduce them. Aesop is still very young in the light and shadow. The first scene takes place in a shop in the city of eju promontory. Aesop, as a slave, accidentally touches the God stone and will be punished to cut off a finger.
But the witty Aesop told the story of Pythagoras to Theo, so Theo put the finger on the account, indicating that Aesop owed him a finger. In the second scene, amon buys Aesop from Theo, and Aesop becomes Amun's slave. Then his debt becomes amon's debt.
What happened in the light and shadow happened decades ago, and amon is now a young man standing in court, his face almost unchanged. When this information was demonstrated, the court was silent immediately. People didn't even dare to breathe. We already know who Amun is - he is the God from eju, standing in the court of mituli!
However, Amun did not pay attention to the reaction of the people. He asked faintly, "your honor, do I have the qualification to sue the person who caused this event for Aesop's death?"
The judge spat and said in a hoarse voice, "you are qualified to file a complaint, but it does not mean that you can win the case. What do you want to accuse Lord Antonio?"
Amun: it is clear in my complaint that I will accuse him of forging Oracle and abusing the name of gods to frame up innocent people
Antonio called out: "shameless lies! People who have participated in Delphi's Oracle are aware of the content of the oracle. There is an emissary of a city-state who has profaned and offended the gods. I came to mituli just to find out and punish this man. "Amun asked coldly, "Antonio, did the Oracle name Aesop? It is you who accuse Aesop in court, and you are the one who finds Aesop blasphemous and offensive to the gods. I want to ask your honor, if he had not used Delphi's Oracle to accuse Aesop, would Aesop have been executed? Aesop's death has brought me irreparable losses. Shouldn't I ask him for compensation? "
The judge wiped the sweat and said, "the court of miduli city-state cannot rule on such a complaint. Only gods can be witnesses, and this court is not qualified to ask gods to testify. "
Amun: Dear judge, where can we make a ruling
Although the judge was still sitting in his chair, he almost wanted to kneel down and beg Amun. He said in a hoarse voice, "you are accusing the emissary of Delphi temples in holy land. Your accusation is that he forged the oracle and killed innocent people indiscriminately. Only the temple that issued Delphi's Oracle can rule."
Amun turned, looked at Antonio calmly and said, "I hear you are going back to Delphi tomorrow? This is just right. Dare you go with me to Delphi temple and let Delphi's priestly court accept my accusation and make a judgment? "
Under the gaze of Amun, Antonio also felt his heart and back were sweating, but he could not say no, because the purpose of Aesop calculated by the gods was to lead amon. Antonio was not only a priest, but also a nine level God envoy guided by Apollos.
Antonio was also very surprised that Amun had the courage to come to miduli. He even dared to go to Delphi! Where is Delphi? That is the holy land of Olympus God in the world, and also the protection place of the gods! Don't Amun go there to file a complaint, isn't it sheep that join the wolves?
Antonio bravely replied in public: "as long as you have the courage to come to Delphi, you are ready to face the consequences of your choice. I am willing to meet you in the Delphi court!"
When he spoke, he kept murmuring in his heart. Amun had come to Olympus again and accused him in public in the city court. However, Hermes, the God who guarded the city-state, said nothing and did not show his face, and the story of Aesop was caused by Hermes' Oracle.
Unfortunately, Antonio didn't know that Hermes didn't want to show up, but he didn't dare to show up. Amun seemed calm, but actually he was very angry. If Hermes really dares to show up, amon will dare to kill him. Without the support of Olympus and the gods, Hermes would not dare to cause such trouble alone.
Looking at Amun and medanzo out of the court, the judge breathed a sigh and almost fell into a chair. Although Amun never claimed that he was a God from a foreign land, the judge was so nervous that he almost lost his voice and finally sent the God away. But I hope that he will never find trouble again. I hope the Delphi temples can solve this matter.
Amun walked out of the court, and madanzo, who was following him, suddenly turned around and said, "people of miduli, will you be happy? For God has not sinned against you. Are you suing Aesop with Antonio because he has blasphemed the gods and violated your interests, or are you afraid of God's sin? I don't know how many things you have done to offend the gods. Why are you afraid? "
This sentence made many people shiver before he left, and a number of them fell ill when they came home that night. In the early morning of the next day, the people of miduli flocked to the city-state temple, praying for the protection of the gods, and praying for the gods to "solve" Amun in Delphi, and never come back to their troubles.
Amun drove the carriage like an ordinary passer-by, while medanzo rode like the guard of the carriage, but the carriage was empty, no one was riding and no goods were transported. They followed Antony's Olympic gold team and went all the way to Delphi, the holy land of Olympus.
On the way, medanzo said quietly, "my God, are you going to Delphi to find the Olympus Gods to settle accounts?"
Amun asked, "shouldn't it?"
Medanzo: "when Aesop was in trouble, I went out with the Macedonian army. I was very sorry that I couldn't save him."
Amun shook his head. "He had a chance to save himself, but he chose to be executed."
"If you do it in Delphi, I'm afraid the two of us are alone. Do you want to call all the angels?"
Amun shook his head again and said, "if I do this, I will launch a direct war between the two gods, involving too many people who should not be involved. Don't forget what we're here for, so fix it. It was you and I who sent Aesop back to his hometown. It was me and Zeus who made an agreement to cooperate. Let us deal with it. "
At the foot of the mountain where Delphi is located, Amun stops the carriage to rest and tells Antonio to go back first. When Antonio went up the mountain, Amun's voice was heard in his soul: "go back to Delphi and get everything ready. I'll give you one day. I'll see you in Delphi's court at noon the day after tomorrow."
Amun's arrival caused a stir in the Delphi temples. When he went up the mountain, medanzo reminded him in the back: "my God, the people here are watching us with hostile eyes. There are dozens of gods mixed among these priests, which I have seen before."**(to be continued.

Socrates was once accused in the court of yalen city-state, and the charge was the same as Aesop today - "preaching new gods, poisoning and corrupting young people." Although Socrates pleaded, the court of the city-state of Yaron at that time still declared his guilt: in front of the gods, Socrates was an evil doer and a strange person. He peeped into the secrets of heaven and earth, but taught others regardless of right and wrong. The court found Socrates guilty, but he could offer another punishment instead of imprisonment. As a result, Socrates proposed to pay a fine of 30 silver coins. Such contempt angered the court and he was finally sentenced to death. At that time, many people, including his student Plato, were willing to provide guarantee for Socrates. However, Socrates did not intend to admit his guilt and gave in. He chose to be executed. At that time, Socrates drank a cup of poisonous wine. Obviously, Aesop and Antonio, the envoy of Delphi, knew the famous allusion. So when Aesop said something, Antonio called out in court to give him a glass of poisonous wine. Aesop's cousin and three nephews wept bitterly. Red Ackerman yelled to the judge, "no, don't do this. I'm willing to pay for my cousin the heaviest fine in the history of the city." But the judge shook his head and said, "such a request can only be made by Mr. Aesop Ackerman himself. Isso Ackerman, do you insist on what you just said?" Someone is shouting: "kill him, kill him!" Aesop nodded his head and said, "yes, I insist." The judge finally said, "in that case, the city court can only sentence you to death. Why choose this? You didn't have to die! " Aesop replied, "your honor, may I tell you another story..." Or the story of a wolf and a sheep, the wolf in pursuit of sheep, sheep fled into the temple. The wolf cried out outside the temple, "come out quickly, or you will be offered as a sacrifice by the priest." The sheep answered in the temple, "I am not afraid of death. I would rather give it to the gods than be devoured by you." It was Aesop's last story, and he was given a glass of poisoned wine. This is the fate of Socrates, even the accusation is the same, but Aesop and Socrates' behavior is different. Socrates is only questioning the way the gods exist, while Aesop's accusation of "preaching new gods, poisoning and corrupting young people" is settled. Aesop was one of the richest merchants in miduli. Although he did not believe in the gods here, he did not offend anyone. Hermes, the patron god, and the high priest of the city had sought him out, but there was nothing to do. But his move to bring gold back to Delphi, the holy land, angered the people of miduli. It was not because they hated Aesop, but because they were afraid of the gods' sin, and the envoys of Delphi, the holy land, came here and identified Aesop as the sinner in the oracle. Antonio's accusations cost Aesop his life, and the holy emissary said during the execution: "in the name of the gods, I have deprived Aesop of his life and taken away the evil soul. He is the one who blasphemes and offends the gods, and he is here today to be punished. " Those who first came to the cities of the hitton Peninsula may wonder why a sage like Socrates was executed at that time? Because the atmosphere of discussion here seems to be quite open, people seem to be able to talk about various topics at will in the temple square, which is quite free. The plays in the theater also arrange gods in various ways. But on the other hand, people regard the arrangement of gods as their freedom, and they have the right to decide what to think of their gods, but Aesop's behavior can not be tolerated. Aesop's sin was not to orchestrate the Olympian gods, but to ignore their gods, deny the meaning of this belief, and preach another faith. This is not only what the Olympian gods would not like to see, but also unacceptable to the so-called free and open city-state of hitton. There are two oracles that push Aesop to his tragic fate, but it is the people here who judge and execute Aesop. According to the elder's last words, his body was cremated and ashes were scattered into the sea. However, Antonio did not leave miduli immediately. As a holy emissary, Antonio gave the city-state a chance to sacrifice to the gods. The merchants offered the gold that Aesop had brought back, and entrusted the holy envoys to the Delphi temples. But Aesop's cousin and three nephews took back Aesop's share of gold and did not give it to the Olympian gods. Antonio completed the task, found and killed the sinner pointed out in the Oracle, accepted a large amount of gold, and was ready to leave miduli. But on this day, two foreigners came to miduli, a young man in a carriage and another majestic knight. They entered the city court and went straight to the city court.Many people recognized them as Amun and medanzo, who escorted Aesop back to his hometown. At the beginning, people here did not hear of Amun's name. Now five years later, Aesop told so many stories about Amun here. This name has become a legend among young people in miduli. Amun came to file a complaint. According to the regulations of the city-state, he asked Thales, a local citizen and respected sage, to write a complaint. The object of the complaint was Antonio, the envoy sent by Delphi. This incident caused a great sensation in the city of miduli. As a stranger, this kind of accusation may not be accepted by the court of miduli. However, the court gave Amun an opportunity to be questioned by the public to decide whether he could file a complaint. Antonio, the Delphi emissary, did not have to attend such a question, but for the glory of the gods, he went to hear what Amun wanted to accuse him in person? If the court finds that Amun's complaint is unreasonable, the young man from the countryside will also be punished by the city-state of miduli. In court, the judge asked, "young man from other countries, we all know that you were Aesop's coachman and helped him manage the farm. Aesop was very kind to you. Now that your former employer has passed away, your grief is understandable, but that does not justify your complaint. You must prove that Lord Antonio has harmed your own interests before you are eligible to file a complaint. " Amon replied, "Aesop owes me something that he has not paid back. If this man's accusation has killed innocent Aesop and made me unable to take back what belongs to me, do I have the right to sue him and claim compensation from him? " The judge was puzzled and said: "Aesop's entire inheritance has been inherited by the Ackerman family. If he owes you anything, you should go to red Ackerman, Aesop to repay, not to sue Lord Antonio." Amon shook his head and said, "what Aesop owes me is not money, but a slave's identity and a finger. I can't have someone else become my slave instead of Aesop, nor can I have an innocent person cut off a finger to pay for Aesop. It is this man who deprived Aesop of his life in the name of the gods. If Aesop is innocent, then he should bear the responsibility. " The court was in chaos again. Was Aesop a slave to Amun and owed the coachman a finger? People can't believe it. They ask people around them in surprise. At this time, someone remembered Aesop's story and whispered to the people around him that the news spread in whispers. This young man even said such words, then it shows his identity - Amun, the great general of eju at that time! According to legend, Amun is a God who came to the world! How could he become Aesop's coachman and come to miduli again! However, Amun did not claim to be a God in court. He just came to accuse Antonio. The judge also heard people's comments. He was sweating on his forehead, but in order to maintain the dignity of the court, he could not say anything more. He always felt that the chair under his buttocks was uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and said in a hoarse, trembling voice, "stranger, I want to remind you that if you can't provide evidence, you will be punished by the city of mituli for your words and deeds in court." Amun took out a pupil of the earth from his arms and said, "the evidence is here. Ask a priest who knows the medium level information divinity to demonstrate the information recorded in it in public, so that people can judge whether it is true or not. This stone will be used as the court fee I pay to the city court of miduli. " Soon a priest came and took the pupil of the earth and showed two pieces of light and shadow information by magic. They were scenes many years ago. I don't know what means Amun used to record them in the pupil of the earth and reproduce them. Aesop is still very young in the light and shadow. The first scene takes place in a shop in the city of eju promontory. Aesop, as a slave, accidentally touches the God stone and will be punished to cut off a finger. But the witty Aesop told the story of Pythagoras to Theo, so Theo put the finger on the account, indicating that Aesop owed him a finger. In the second scene, amon buys Aesop from Theo, and Aesop becomes Amun's slave. Then his debt becomes amon's debt. What happened in the light and shadow happened decades ago, and amon is now a young man standing in court, his face almost unchanged. When this information was demonstrated, the court was silent immediately. People didn't even dare to breathe. We already know who Amun is - he is the God from eju, standing in the court of mituli! However, Amun did not pay attention to the reaction of the people. He asked faintly, "your honor, do I have the qualification to sue the person who caused this event for Aesop's death?" The judge spat and said in a hoarse voice, "you are qualified to file a complaint, but it does not mean that you can win the case. What do you want to accuse Lord Antonio?" Amun: it is clear in my complaint that I will accuse him of forging Oracle and abusing the name of gods to frame up innocent people Antonio called out: "shameless lies! People who have participated in Delphi's Oracle are aware of the content of the oracle. There is an emissary of a city-state who has profaned and offended the gods. I came to mituli just to find out and punish this man. "Amun asked coldly, "Antonio, did the Oracle name Aesop? It is you who accuse Aesop in court, and you are the one who finds Aesop blasphemous and offensive to the gods. I want to ask your honor, if he had not used Delphi's Oracle to accuse Aesop, would Aesop have been executed? Aesop's death has brought me irreparable losses. Shouldn't I ask him for compensation? " The judge wiped the sweat and said, "the court of miduli city-state cannot rule on such a complaint. Only gods can be witnesses, and this court is not qualified to ask gods to testify. " Amun: Dear judge, where can we make a ruling Although the judge was still sitting in his chair, he almost wanted to kneel down and beg Amun. He said in a hoarse voice, "you are accusing the emissary of Delphi temples in holy land. Your accusation is that he forged the oracle and killed innocent people indiscriminately. Only the temple that issued Delphi's Oracle can rule." Amun turned, looked at Antonio calmly and said, "I hear you are going back to Delphi tomorrow? This is just right. Dare you go with me to Delphi temple and let Delphi's priestly court accept my accusation and make a judgment? " Under the gaze of Amun, Antonio also felt his heart and back were sweating, but he could not say no, because the purpose of Aesop calculated by the gods was to lead amon. Antonio was not only a priest, but also a nine level God envoy guided by Apollos. Antonio was also very surprised that Amun had the courage to come to miduli. He even dared to go to Delphi! Where is Delphi? That is the holy land of Olympus God in the world, and also the protection place of the gods! Don't Amun go there to file a complaint, isn't it sheep that join the wolves? Antonio bravely replied in public: "as long as you have the courage to come to Delphi, you are ready to face the consequences of your choice. I am willing to meet you in the Delphi court!" When he spoke, he kept murmuring in his heart. Amun had come to Olympus again and accused him in public in the city court. However, Hermes, the God who guarded the city-state, said nothing and did not show his face, and the story of Aesop was caused by Hermes' Oracle. Unfortunately, Antonio didn't know that Hermes didn't want to show up, but he didn't dare to show up. Amun seemed calm, but actually he was very angry. If Hermes really dares to show up, amon will dare to kill him. Without the support of Olympus and the gods, Hermes would not dare to cause such trouble alone. Looking at Amun and medanzo out of the court, the judge breathed a sigh and almost fell into a chair. Although Amun never claimed that he was a God from a foreign land, the judge was so nervous that he almost lost his voice and finally sent the God away. But I hope that he will never find trouble again. I hope the Delphi temples can solve this matter. Amun walked out of the court, and madanzo, who was following him, suddenly turned around and said, "people of miduli, will you be happy? For God has not sinned against you. Are you suing Aesop with Antonio because he has blasphemed the gods and violated your interests, or are you afraid of God's sin? I don't know how many things you have done to offend the gods. Why are you afraid? " This sentence made many people shiver before he left, and a number of them fell ill when they came home that night. In the early morning of the next day, the people of miduli flocked to the city-state temple, praying for the protection of the gods, and praying for the gods to "solve" Amun in Delphi, and never come back to their troubles. Amun drove the carriage like an ordinary passer-by, while medanzo rode like the guard of the carriage, but the carriage was empty, no one was riding and no goods were transported. They followed Antony's Olympic gold team and went all the way to Delphi, the holy land of Olympus. On the way, medanzo said quietly, "my God, are you going to Delphi to find the Olympus Gods to settle accounts?" Amun asked, "shouldn't it?" Medanzo: "when Aesop was in trouble, I went out with the Macedonian army. I was very sorry that I couldn't save him." Amun shook his head. "He had a chance to save himself, but he chose to be executed." "If you do it in Delphi, I'm afraid the two of us are alone. Do you want to call all the angels?" Amun shook his head again and said, "if I do this, I will launch a direct war between the two gods, involving too many people who should not be involved. Don't forget what we're here for, so fix it. It was you and I who sent Aesop back to his hometown. It was me and Zeus who made an agreement to cooperate. Let us deal with it. " At the foot of the mountain where Delphi is located, Amun stops the carriage to rest and tells Antonio to go back first. When Antonio went up the mountain, Amun's voice was heard in his soul: "go back to Delphi and get everything ready. I'll give you one day. I'll see you in Delphi's court at noon the day after tomorrow." Amun's arrival caused a stir in the Delphi temples. When he went up the mountain, medanzo reminded him in the back: "my God, the people here are watching us with hostile eyes. There are dozens of gods mixed among these priests, which I have seen before."**to be continued.
