Reversing Greek Mythology

Palace hall.

After Luo Yin and Medea left, Yin Asong immediately fell into a panic at a loss and couldn't help but wonder whether Aphrodite, the goddess of love, had abandoned him.

Because Yin Asong knew that only by gaining Medea's love could he obtain the treasure Golden Fleece, and help the Argonauts representing various Greek city-states purchase important grain from the Kingdom of Colchis.

Without Medea's help, Yin Asong would not only be unable to regain his throne, but would also be ruthlessly abandoned by his companions.

Seeing Yin Asong's uneasy reaction, Kalchiope sighed in disappointment.

"Stranger! Even if you are related to my four sons, I can't help you without any reason, so you must have a reason to convince me."

After saying that, Calchiope got up and left the hall to check on Luo Yin and Medea.

Flowers blooming in the courtyard lawn.

Luo Yin held Medea and sat in the grass, playing with her beautiful silver hair with his fingers and looking around cautiously.

"Brother, what are you looking at?"

Medea asked curiously.

"Even if our current appearance is seen by others, there is no need to feel shy."

"I'm not worried about others seeing us the way we are now."

Luo Yin looked at Medea and explained.

"Before Yin Asong came here, he performed a sacrificial prayer to Aphrodite, the goddess of love."

"So my brother is worried that I will be plotted by Aphrodite——"

Medea said with a teasing smile.

"Brother's worries are unnecessary. Aphrodite has no guts to provoke me."

Seeing Medea's cute and confident expression, Luo Yin immediately understood.

When people made up myths hundreds of years later, the empires guarded by the Sun Queen and Moon Queen had perished, so humans made up many stories about Aphrodite, the goddess of love, making the Sun Goddess and Moon Goddess fall in love with human men.

But at this moment in the contemporary era, the Eastern gods, including Aphrodite and Apollo, are all nominal subordinate gods of the Sun Queen and the Moon Queen.

Just like the island of Cyprus guarded by Aphrodite and the Trojan region guarded by Apollo, they were nominally surrendered to the empire guarded by the Queen of the Sun and the Queen of the Moon.

Even if Aphrodite wanted to help Yin Asong, she could only enhance Yin Asong's charm and dare not directly attack Medea with the arrow of the God of Love.

After all, the myths fabricated by people hundreds of years later are not reality. It is impossible for Aphrodite to attack her nominal master for a group of Greeks who have nothing to do with the island of Cyprus.

"Since Aphrodite won't bother us, can we do something interesting?"

Luo Yin deliberately knocked Medea down, then pressed on her and looked into her eyes.

"Medea, I have gotten to know your sister Circe well enough, and now I want to really get to know you."

Medea immediately spread her hands and said to Luo Yin in a defenseless manner.

"Everything brother wants to know can be explored from me. Just ask my body directly, brother knows how to do it!"

After saying that, Medea closed her eyes shyly.

Seeing Medea at her mercy, Luo Yin suppressed the emotion in his heart and took a deep breath, lowered his head and spoke into Medea's ear.

"I don't want to do night things during the day. You have to wait patiently."

"Well……"

Medea opened her eyes with an unhappy expression, turned over with Luo Yin in her arms, then sat on Luo Yin and asked.

"Then how does brother want to get to know me?"

"I heard that there is a temple of Hecate outside the city of Kitea. You are the priestess of the temple of Hecate. You learned the knowledge of magic and potions from the goddess Hecate, and even mastered the ability to resurrect the dead. His underworld magic can be called a disciple of the goddess Hecate——"

Before Luo Yin finished speaking, Medea rolled her eyes and said disdainfully.

"They actually say that I am Hecate's disciple - Hecate is my disciple, which is more like it! Do the Greeks understand what magic is and what potions are? Even the Greeks don't understand what magic is and potions are. How can the human goddess Hecate know the knowledge of magic and potions?”

Then, Medea rubbed Luo Yin's cheeks with both hands and said.

"It's okay if others don't know. Don't you know, brother? Hecate became the goddess in charge of the night, magic, potions and souls. It's just-"

Before Medea could finish speaking, Luo Yin hugged her head and raised her head, letting their lips touch each other.

After a few long minutes, Luo Yin reluctantly separated from Medea and said with a satisfied smile.

"Of course I know that night, magic, potions and souls are all powers you have as the moon goddess of Colchis. In the myths made by people hundreds of years later, in order to improve Hecate's status, To belittle the fallen moon goddess, the Greeks deliberately confused Hecate with the moon goddess, allowing Hecate to take away the power that the fallen moon goddess had. In Roman mythology, Hecate was one of the many moon goddesses, and it was she. Confused with the moon goddess Selene, evidence preserved by the Romans.”

After listening to Luo Yin's words, Medea first showed a satisfied smile, then pinched Luo Yin's cheeks with both hands and said.

"Brother, you know Hecate so well, do you have any inappropriate thoughts about her?"

Luo Yin immediately shook his head and said.

"There is a high probability that the origin of Hecate is the fallen goddess who was annexed by Persephone, or a nature god who is not the patron saint of the city-state. As long as I get Sister Persephone, I can buy one and get one free. Hecate, there is no need to deliberately understand her. "

"Brother idiot, don't say in front of me that you want another woman!"

Medea lay down on Luo Yin's neck and took a bite, leaving a red strawberry mark, then she cooed with a puffy face.

"Isn't my brother interested in my secret?"

"Of course I want to know everything about you!"

Luo Yin held Medea in his arms and comforted her while stroking the waist-length silver hair on her back.

"Although you and Circe have the same origin as the Moon Queen and Sun Queen of Asia Minor, they have developed into different forms over thousands of years. Circe is the sun goddess who brings light and fire to the world. After she was accepted by the Greeks as a foreign goddess, because the sun god Helios was not only a male god, but also had a higher affinity with the Dorians who ruled Greece, Circe was devalued into the morning sun - the goddess of dawn. Eos. As the moon goddess, you were not deprived of your identity as the moon goddess by the Greeks. You also benefited from the fact that the Greeks wanted Artemis, the goddess of hunting, to merge with the real sister of the sun god Helios - the person in charge of the moon and the moon. Bendis, the goddess of hunting. But what I want to spy is your true posture in the Colchis region. As the goddess of the moon, you are not only the master of the night, the goddess of magic and potions, but also the goddess of death. -A goddess related to the underworld. This is what makes you confused with Hecate, the goddess of the underworld. Selene, the moon goddess who rules the night and the soul, can you really resurrect the dead? "
