Reversing Greek Mythology

Looking at Hermes who was trying his best to stop his fall, Luo Yin couldn't help but say.

"Hermes! Although you only became the patron saint of Arcadia after the fall of Artemis, you are worthy of being the patron saint of Arcadia. I will give you another chance, will you? Are you willing to surrender to me unconditionally? If you refuse to surrender, my flames will cover Mount Kyulene that gave birth to you and burn everything in Mount Kyulene to ashes.”

Hermes immediately smiled bitterly.

"If I had known that you had such powerful divine power, I would have surrendered to you unconditionally from the beginning."

Hermes had already given birth to a son to Zeus, and for him, survival was of course more important than dignity.

He chose to fight Luo Yin at first just because he didn't know how powerful Luo Yin was.

"Great Tantalus! I am willing to dedicate to you my beautiful mother goddess Maia, the mountain goddess of Cyrene Mountain, so that you can become my new father god."

"I reject!"

Luo Yin refused without hesitation.

"I'm not Zeus, and I don't want a god older than me to take his mother goddess and become my cheap son."

While speaking, Luo Yin withdrew the fire of the sun, then moved from above Hermes to the top of Mount Cylene, and looked at Hermes and said.

"Zeus has always claimed that Hestia is his sister, and he inherited Hestia's territory, Argos, as his younger brother. From now on, you will serve your aunt as the nephew of Hestia, the son of Zeus. ! The relationship between the Arcadia region and the city of Mycenae will also be such that the younger generation must obey the elders.”

Hermes immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"I am very willing to serve the goddess Hestia as my aunt! But the elderly King of Arcadia, Yin Assos, may not be willing to serve you as my nephew as my uncle."

"I have no bad taste in humiliating an elderly man."

After Luo Yin finished speaking, he turned into a stream of white light and flew to the wall of Arcadia City.

Seeing Luo Yin's 100-meter-tall divine figure, Yin Assos and the surrounding Acadians immediately knelt down to worship Luo Yin.

"Yin Assos!"

Yin Assos raised his head when he heard Luo Yin's voice, and Luo Yin looked at him with emotionless eyes and said.

"You have just seen that I have more powerful power than Hermes. Now Hermes has surrendered to Hestia, the patron goddess of Mycenae, and will serve my aunt as a nephew in the future. You Arcadi The demi-humans will also submit to Mycenae, as they did to the descendants of Perseus.”

"Great Tantalus, I will fear you as I fear Zeus."

After hearing Yin Assos's answer, Luo Yin transformed into a human form and stood in front of Yin Assos and said.

"King Yin Assos! Although you have seen that I am a more powerful god than Hermes, you do not need to fear me as a god, because my identity is Tantalus, the king of Mycenae."

I have personally confirmed that you are a more powerful god than Hermes, so how can I treat you as a human being——

After Yin Assos complained in his heart, he nodded to Luo Yin.

Seeing that the only member of the royal family guarding Arcadia City was Yin Assos, Luo Yin asked curiously.

"King Assos! I heard that you have a beautiful daughter named Atalanta and a son-in-law named Hippomenes. Why is it you, an old man, who guards the city of Arcadia? , instead of Atalanta and Hippomenes—or the grandson they bore you?"

"Atalanta—"

After whispering the name once, Yin Assos said with a complicated expression.

"Just like the goddess Artemis was expelled from her hometown, I did have a daughter who was abandoned by me at birth. But she has been wandering outside like Artemis and did not marry her name Hippomene. This person has never given birth to a grandson for me.”

"I see!"

Luo Yin suddenly said.

"In the myths fabricated by humans hundreds of years later, Atalanta married Hippomenes, just like Artemis broke her sacred vow to marry a virgin. Because Atalanta is Artemis The incarnation of Artemis is the devalued image after her decline. The story of Atalanta marrying Hippomenes is a humiliation of the fallen goddess Artemis.”

After saying these words that Yin Assos could not understand, Luo Yin then said to Yin Assos.

"King Yinsos! As long as you remain a loyal ally of Mycenae City, before the end of your life, maybe I will let Atalanta, who has been wandering outside, return to you."

Yin Assos's eyes lit up immediately and he couldn't hide his excitement.

"Great Tantalus! As long as you can help me find my daughter, the enemies of Mycenae will be the enemies of Arcadia. I really don't know how to thank you. Please come with me to the palace and let I entertain the most distinguished guests with a grand banquet.”

Luo Yin shook his head and said.

"Next, I have to conquer the Pylos region. When I have enough time, I will accept your hospitality!"

After saying that, Luo Yin flapped his wings on his back and turned into a white stream of light and flew to the three thousand Mycenaean soldiers outside the city.

After Luo Yin continued marching with three thousand Mycenaean soldiers, Hermes, whose figure was hidden, flew to Luo Yin and asked.

"You just said you wanted Atalanta to return to Assos. Do you plan to let the goddess Artemis become the patron saint of Arcadia again?"

"Artemis is not my wife, why should I help Artemis replace you?"

Luo Yin teased with a joking smile.

"Hermes! In the ancient times when animal husbandry was not developed enough, the Arcadians obtained more food through hunting than animal husbandry, so your status is lower than Artemis. Now the Arcadians obtain more food through animal husbandry Food has far surpassed hunting. You can replace Artemis as the patron saint of Arcadia, not only because Artemis was suppressed by Zeus, but also because you, the god of animal husbandry, can replace Artemis, the goddess of hunting. Even if Artemis returns to the Arcadia region, she will not be able to shake your authority."

"I'm not worried that the goddess of hunting can replace me, the god of livestock!"

Hermes said with a solemn expression.

"What I'm worried about is that you will help Artemis devour me and let her replace me as the new God of Animal Husbandry."

The newly rising gods have a godhead that is more important to humans. The gods that are about to decline devour the newly rising gods in order to stay strong——

This is a very common situation in the world of mythology.

In Sumerian mythology, when the newly risen god of agriculture, Enkimdu, was about to become the husband of the fallen queen of the gods, Inshtar, the god of animal husbandry, Dumuzi, who once ruled over the gods in ancient times, abandoned the husband of the god of animal husbandry. Everything Devours Enkimutu, the god of agriculture. As the god of agriculture, Dumuzi, he became the husband of the fallen queen of the gods, Inshtar.

Even the ancient gods will become the target of being devoured by the gods who are about to decline.

The Apollo worshiped by the Greeks abandoned the ancient godhead and posture of Apollo worshiped by the Asia Minor, and devoured the sun god Helios, the time goddess Mnemosyne, the justice goddess Themis, and the god of prophecy and medicine. The heroic god Amphiaraos, a new god fused.

"Hermes! As long as you don't betray me, I guarantee that you will always be the patron saint of Arcadia."

Upon hearing Luo Yin's words, Hermes immediately stopped and watched Luo Yin lead the Mycenaean soldiers into Mount Tayinjetos.
