Greece brings evildoers

The underworld in Greek mythology can be roughly divided into three parts: "Aspedros", where the souls of ordinary people live after death; "Elysee", the blessed place where heroes and innocent and innocent souls live; and "Thar", the place of punishment for guilty souls. Talos”. In addition to all the dead souls, some of the Titans who were overthrown by Zeus were also imprisoned in the underworld.

The poet Dante, in the "Divine Comedy", mentioned the three worlds after the death of the dead - [Purgatory], [Hell] and [Paradise].

Is there a strange sense of déjà vu between the two?

Yes, as the ultimate suture monster of the future, Christian mythology is likely to draw on the triple setting of the afterlife in Greek mythology.

Therefore, now that the Dionysian Cult has been established, it is time to seize the time to create the legendary [Doomsday Judgment] and [Purgatory], [Hell], and [Heaven] one after another, and perfect their own lineage independent of Olympus. Theological worldview further increases the influence on congregants and their cohesion to the denomination.

After making this move, Lorne could already foresee that the power of faith he had gained would increase significantly again.

Moreover, he can also bury a few secret pieces of his own in the underworld.

——He doesn’t believe in Zeus, but he also doesn’t believe in the goddess in front of him who seems to have helped him a lot.

"What are you thinking about?" Hecate asked curiously, dragging her chin.

Lorne raised his head, looked at the phantom-like figure in front of him, and spoke meaningfully.

"I'm thinking that it's obviously you who made the fate of this world with your own hands, why do you want me to break them?"

"...!"

In an instant, Hecate's smile froze, and her dark eyes stared deeply at the figure in front of her, like an abyss and darkness swallowing everything.

However, facing the goddess' scrutiny and unrivaled pressure, Lorne remained unmoved and instead showed a playful smile.

"You're right? Then let me continue to guess, are you the part that was [necessarily] abandoned?"

"One step forward is a genius, one step forward is a lunatic. Being too smart is not necessarily a good thing."

Hecate picked up the wine glass and took a sip, reminding her faintly, with a hint of gloominess in her tone.

But the more this happened, the stronger the smile on Lorne's face became.

In the original scriptures of Orpheus (the original Dionysian religion), Nyx is regarded as the supreme god of the three-phase goddess, and has three different super-god identities at the same time. She can be the goddess of destiny, Ananke, the goddess of retribution. Adrasthea and Hermamene, the goddess of cause and effect, represent all inevitable fate and are also the [mothers] of the three goddesses of fate.

But Hecate, who is both a three-phase goddess and is obviously closest to Nyx, has a completely different divinity, representing [Game], [Opportunity] and [Possibility]...

So Lorne guessed that something must have happened.

——For example, Nyx, as the original body, split for some reason, forming the three goddesses of fate, which represent [inevitability] and [destiny], and Hecate, who represents [accident] and [opportunity].

In a way that is easier for Eastern people to understand, it is that the Great Dao is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, and there is one escape.

If Nyx is compared to the "Dao", then the three goddesses of destiny are the "Way of Heaven" that regulates the operation of the world, and the one that escapes is Hecate, representing the possibility of "change" and "subversion".

All the differences may have started when Zeus devoured Metis and transcended his own destiny.

Because of this, the God-King of Olympus respected and feared Hecate.

Because, like the three goddesses of destiny, she is also a part of Nyx.

Only in this way can we explain why Hecate can turn the wheel of fate and make everything no longer certain!

Lorne smiled and gently let go, and the serpentine twelve-sided die rolled in front of the two of them.

- God plays dice.

Although Einstein objected to this, more and more evidence later showed that the future of mankind is in a world where "accidentity" determines everything, whether it is big data or artificial intelligence, which are currently popular, Or biomedicine, gene editing, various disciplines and fields, including [God’s dice] that are inseparable and unavoidable in our lives.

In other words, [random] and [accidental] may be the inherent normality of the world and the background of what the world should be.

"You want to use my hand to overturn the inevitable fate and regain your original power?"

Lorne looked at the three-phase goddess in front of him and asked thoughtfully.

"And that so-called point of disagreement is Zeus?"

Hecate did not answer, but looked at the table quietly, somewhat lost in thought.

"Don't worry, I pose no threat to you, and I have no intention of becoming your enemy. You don't have to be so defensive about me."

Lorne told the truth calmly, and then spoke calmly.

"It's just that we both belong to the variables that [fate] negates, so shouldn't there be some things that we should talk about openly and honestly?"

Unexpectedly, Hecate looked up again, with a playful smile on her face.

"What do you want to know?"

"why me?"

"Opportunities and possibilities are everywhere. It can exist in the past, present, or future; it can be Boros who was never born, it can be Zagreus who has come back from the dead, it can be life. And the resurrected Dionysus..."

Lorne was thoughtful, his eyes twinkling.

"It could also be me, a [variable] from outside fate?"

Then, he laughed to himself and his eyes met those abyssal eyes.

"So? You had already planned it?"

"Accidental is also inevitable."

Hecate groaned meaningfully, also loosened her fingers and threw her twelve-sided die on the table.

With a burst of rolling, the dice finally rolled out a number composed of several petals.

- This is the emblem of Aphrodite.

Lorne looked down, his eyes a little subtle.

——His own one, too.

Most of the dice come in pairs, and the goddess Ananke, who represents the fixed number, also has a corresponding spouse-Cronos, the god of chance.

However, both Cronus and his consort Ananke are gods that are only found in the Orphic sect (Dionysianism) and not in other sects. Early Orphic sects believed that Phanes was the original god and the creator of the universe.

Later, the god Chronos was added to the "Twenty-Four Sacred Sayings" and other editions. The "Holy Sayings" believed that Chronos was the first origin and created everything.

Similarly, Ananke, who created the world with Cronus, is only one side of the three-phase goddess Nyx.

"The bets have been placed and the game has officially begun. Show your worth. I will turn the wheel of fate for you and see if you can go through death and live again with all your efforts!"

The low voice gradually became ethereal, and finally disappeared into nothingness.

The figure sitting in front of the table also disappeared into the invisible, leaving only the lingering sound of amusement.

Lorne looked at the dice spinning on the table again, his face uncertain.
