If blue and white are the colors of heaven, then the Aegean Sea is a pure paradise on earth. Nothing was intentional. White railings on winding streets, white houses scattered by mountains and seas, white crosses on blue roofs, and a corner of white screen window occasionally exposed in blue windows. When the eyes touch this extreme blue and pure white, listening to the wisps of Greek music floating in the distance, there will always be an inexplicable touch, and the whole heart seems to become as clear and ethereal as the blue sky. The charm of the Aegean Sea lies not only in the water, but also in the islands full of myths and cultures.
Venus, whose broken arm is still graceful, and Helen, who caused the Trojan War but is still admired by the ages, are all beauties born in Aegean islands. Walking on such a small island, remembering the beautiful stories that have gone far away, weaving their own romantic feelings and hearts, has been surrounded by charming blue dreams, softening the islands roaming in the Aegean Sea. Maybe everyone, like me, hopes that time will stop like this. Today is an eternal day.
Tragic legend in Aegean Sea: A long time ago, a son of Minos, king of Crete island, was killed in Athens. The furious king condemned Athens and forced the king of Athens to sign a treaty: Athens would sacrifice seven pairs of boys and girls to Minos, the son of Minos, the king of Crete. Athens was afraid of the power of Crete, paid tribute on time, and the people were miserable. In order to save his people, theseus, the bloody prince of Athens, sacrificed himself to worship monsters. Before the prince left, he agreed with his father Aegean that if he could kill the monster, he would hang a white sail on the boat when he came back.
In Crete, the handsome young prince of Athens was loved by the daughter of King Minos. She helped Prince theseus get out of the maze and killed the monster, and rescued the children who were taken away from Crete as a tribute. On the way home, the Oracle instructed the prince to give up his love, or he would be punished by God. The prince had to leave the beautiful princess on a desolate island and left sadly. Immersed in pain, the prince forgot his agreement with his father, and the ship sailed back with black sails. When the king of Athens, eager to stand on the shore, saw black sails drifting near in the distance, he could not accept the reality of losing his beloved son and threw himself into the sea. Later, people named this sea area "Aegean Sea" in memory of the king who loved his son deeply.
