Purple Night Melody

If you had a golden apple, who would you give it to?
Invited to the banquet, Luo En saw the golden apple in the plate inscribed with "To the fairest goddess" and the three goddesses embroiled in dispute before him, and he picked up a knife with a smug smile.
The first step, peeling; he gave the skin to Aphrodite.
"To be fair, you're quite pretty. As a layer of skin, you're not bad to look at."
The second step, slicing the flesh; he gave that to Hera.
"As the queen of heaven, yet everyone in Olympus from 800-year-olds to animals has cuckolded you, including males, females, and even sheep. Since you can't save face anyway, take these insides."
The third step, he gave the remaining core to Athena.
"You were supposed to be born a male god and take over Zeus's position, but due to Zeus's shenanigans, you lost that seed, so here, have this core."
Aphrodite clenched her fists, Hera raised her scepter, Athena summoned her spear and shield...
Seeing this, Luo En quickly stepped back, shielding the goddess of discord, Eris, firmly in front of him.
"And you still want to be the goddess of discord? Look at me; I got them to unite at once, even better than you with your instigation."
"..."
Surrounded by Greek gods sharpening their knives, Eris was left in silence.

The Greece Antagonist

Two days later, the Spartan Elder Council.


In the spacious and solemn council hall, aristocrats of Divine Blood, draped in white robes and accustomed to a life of privilege, sat arranged according to the rank of their lineage on the circular marble steps. Though they were of advanced age and occasionally dozed off, the muscles under their refined garments were knotted, and Divine Blood coursed through their veins, making them resemble aging lions lying in wait within their own territories.


"Gentlemen, the Trojans, under the guise of diplomacy, audaciously abducted Princess Clytemnestra within the halls of Mycenae's Royal Palace. This is not only a disgrace to King Agamemnon and the Mycenaeans but a disgrace to all Spartans! A foreign nation that once barely survived under our ancestors' rule now dares to insult us so openly. If we do not respond in kind, others might indeed think the Spartans have lost their edge!"
