Argo Expedition – (2)

The Argonauts expedition, a gathering of countless heroes.

Citizens began to watch their movements and converse with them.

Who will be the leader of the expedition force that will command about 50 heroes?

Jason who gathered the expedition? Or Meleager?

No, after all… isn’t it the great hero Hercules?

“There might be a fight over who will lead the expedition.”

“Then it seems more likely that Hercules will lead the Argo.”

Contrary to the citizens’ expectations, the discussion on choosing their captain ended very simply.

These are my companions who have gone through life and death in Thebes, or rather, the underworld.

They knew each other better than anyone else.

“Jason. You take the captaincy.”

“I have no complaints either. Isn’t this the expedition that will lead you to the throne?”

“You’re the perfect fit for a doctor. If there are any sick people, just send them to where I am.”

“Hercules, and you?”

“Of course I think it’s better for Jason to be right. I wouldn’t be good at it in the first place.”

The training he received in the afterlife wasn’t limited to just fighting monsters.

It also included cultivating academic skills, learning various etiquette rules, and holding mock battles among trainees.

Of course, Hercules, the invincible hero, beat them all up, but when he didn’t participate in the mock battle…

“Hahaha! Okay, then when you’re on my ship, you’re all my people!”

Because the side led by Jason always won.

Two days had passed since the Argo had left Iolcus.

It was a night when the sea wind blew and the cold air bit into the heroes’ clothes,

The heroes each took their places on one side of the Argo and prepared to rest.

While the sound of the lyre played by Orpheus, the hero of music, tickled his ears, Hercules approached Jason.

He was looking at the map with a thoughtful face, then he felt a presence and raised his head.

“Hercules? What are you doing here, not falling into the rest granted by Hypnos? If you have already become a god and do not need sleep…”

“It’s not like it’s that easy to become a god.”

“…Isn’t that obvious?”

Jason looked dumbfounded at the words of the great hero, who seemed to think that becoming a god was easy.

“No… In the first place, it’s hard enough to become a king, let alone a hero. Look at me, I’m going through all this trouble to get back the throne that was taken away by my uncle.”

“If you get the Golden Fleece and become the king of Iolcus, what will you do?”

“What are you going to do?… You have to rule the people. Why are you suddenly asking me this? Because of your goal of becoming a god?”

Hercules nodded with a slightly dark face.

His dull eyes turned to Jason.

“At least you’re smart enough to do this.”

“Ahem! That’s right. It’s also the captain’s job to listen to the sailors’ complaints. But isn’t it a little surprising? The trouble of a great hero famous throughout Greece is that he can’t find a way to become a god and is suffering from a headache!”

“…Stop teasing me. Speak seriously.”

Jason, who had been laughing for a moment while hitting Hercules on the back, stopped laughing.

“Um… how can I solve your problem?”

“what?!”

“No, that’s right. You’re the closest thing to a god on the Argo, so how would I know when you ask questions because you don’t know yourself?”

Hercules is filled with disappointment.

But Jason’s words were not over yet.

“Hercules, what must I do to become a hero?”

“…? Of course, you have to kill monsters or build a reputation with your specialty.”

“Then what must I do to become king?”

“You can gather the support of the people through great achievements like yours and prove your worth, or you can inherit it through your bloodline…”

“Then, to become a god, wouldn’t it require something different from what I’ve said so far?”

“…!”

At Jason’s words, Hercules suddenly realized something.

Aren’t all the tasks you’ve done so far… just walking the path to becoming a hero?

To become a god, one must walk the path of a god, but he was walking the path of a hero.

Of course, feats and one’s own power will help, but the decisive way to become a god is to walk the path of god.

“A deity exists to maintain the balance of the world. If you simply have that kind of mindset, no matter how many great achievements you make… you will never become a god.”

“It seems like you need to hang out with humans instead.”

The advice of the Lord of the Underworld and the One Who Calls the Waves flashed through the Great Hero’s mind.

You can never become a god by just beating up your enemies and performing amazing feats.

“Thank you, Jason. You’ve been a great help.”

“Huh? So now I’m a god? Oh, Hercules! Make me a king!”

“…don’t joke around.”

The serious atmosphere disappeared like the wind, and Jason returned as a playful young man with a big smile.

Hercules chatted with him for a while and then returned to his cabin.

The next day, there was an archery competition while watching the seagulls flying by.

Atalanta, the only female heroine on the Argo, won the competition with an amazing feat of firing a dozen arrows in quick succession…

“Atalanta, your archery skills are still intact.”

“Huh. I am the best archer in Greece.”

“But there’s an island over there. Let’s go replenish supplies on that island!”

They soon arrived at an island.

A fairly large island that appears to be populated by many people.

But even as the Argo got closer, there were no people in sight.

“It’s a big island, but aren’t there people living here?”

“No way, there’s a house over there…”

They found this strange and went deep into the island.

There was an amazing sight unfolding there…

In front of a woman with water-colored hair who gave off a mysterious aura, a man who looked like he had been beaten up was seen crouching.

Other people around him were also trembling in fear and bowing their heads to the woman.

“Are you going to kill the people passing by again?”

“Ah. No! I was wrong! Goddess Rhodes!”

“If rumors about you reach the bottom of the ocean one more time… I will send you to the afterlife, no matter what Father says.”

Jason and the heroes of the Argo were momentarily confused,

I was able to figure out the situation from the voice I heard from the mysterious woman.

“Are you heroes trying to find the Golden Fleece? Don’t worry, I’m only punishing you for defiling the name of the sea.”

“Wait a minute! Are you God? Who are you…”

“I am Rhodes, the legitimate daughter of Poseidon.”

The goddess with water-colored hair disappears in an instant, and the man who was lying on the floor slowly gets up.

He approached the expedition team with his eyes wide open and cautiously opened his mouth.

“Is there anything you need? Just let me know.”

“…Why were you being punished by the goddess?”

In response to Jason’s question, the man looked embarrassed and said that he was King Amucos.

All the while, he was a demigod with Poseidon as his father, and the fact that the goddess Rhodes had come to see him because he had killed passersby with his fists.

The expedition team went back to the island with a heavy heart, got supplies, and set out again.

* * *

The Argonauts set out again and met a king named Phineus on an island.

He was blinded by the wrath of Zeus, and whenever he tried to eat food, harpies would fly down and eat him, so he was on the verge of starving to death.

“Zethys! Calais! You can fly, so chase away the harpies!”

“Understood, Jason!”

Fortunately, Zethys and Calais, the twin sons of Boreas, god of the north wind, were with the expedition and were able to drive away the harpies.

“Now that I have driven away the harpies, I will warn you of the dangers that await you.”

Based on the various pieces of advice he received from the king, he also told them how to get past the huge rocks that were colliding with each other and provided information that could serve as various landmarks.

The expedition, which brought together heroes from all over Greece, continued.

There was an incident where Hercules’ attendant, Hylas, suddenly disappeared on the island they landed on…

“Damn it. I’m going on a busy trip, so I’ll just leave and come back here later to look for Hylas.”

“Hmm? Is that okay, Hercules?”

“There’s no choice. We have to get the golden fleece quickly.”

“No… I just thought you and that servant were on good terms…”

Hercules looked bewildered when asked by Telamon, who was one of the expedition members.

He is from Thebes, where Pluto is worshipped as the god. Naturally, his values ​​are a little different from those of the Greeks.

“The people of Thebes do not like homosexuality.”

“Ah… ah. Right. Ahem! Sorry for being rude.”

The Argo expedition cruised amazingly.

The monsters that appeared in the middle were no match for the power of the heroes trained in the underworld, and they also had the blessings of various gods.

However, there were some who were not happy with this journey.

The gods that heroes revere and fear. Among them, the Protogeni are at the pinnacle of divinity.

The earth thought.

This is your last chance.

There is no monster that can kill Hercules, unless you send Gigas.

Neither the method of killing with the hand of God, nor the assassination by poison, nor the attack by Chrysaor and Lamia worked…

The hero of that prophecy was clearly the weapon of the gods that would bring down her and Gigas.

If you fail to kill the great hero Hercules, you will be defeated.

Backed into a corner, she decided to make some sacrifices.

Even though she had the nature of a mother goddess who cherished life, her resentment towards Olympus was no less.
