Reversing Greek Mythology

After Zeus and Poseidon escaped from the battlefield, they lost the help and blessing provided by the gods. Although Perseus was full of unwillingness, he still gave the order to retreat.

Five thousand Mycenaean soldiers left one thousand to hold off the pursuers, while the remaining four thousand fled in panic with Perseus.

While Theban soldiers and Corinthian soldiers surrounded and suppressed a thousand Mycenaean soldiers, Luo Yin, who maintained his godlike appearance, strode up to Amphitrite.

Looking at Luo Yin walking in front of her, Amphitrite's eyes showed vigilance.

After all, after a hard battle, both the strength of the city of Corinth and that of Amphitrite were in a very weak state.

If Luo Yin wanted to take advantage of the situation and conquer the city of Corinth, Amphitrite would not be able to fight against Luo Yin.

Luo Yin didn't pay attention to Amphitrite's vigilant gaze, and looked at Amphitrite's beautiful face and figure with admiration.

Although Amphitrite and Athena are both goddesses of the sea and patrons of city-states, the two goddesses have little in common.

Luo Yin looked carefully and found that Amphitrite was obviously different from Thetis except for her green hair. Her delicate and beautiful face and graceful figure were very similar to Thetis, just like twin sisters.

"As the goddess who also carries the [Ocean Goddess Creation Myth], maybe you have the same origin. Your relationship is like Themis and Aphrodite, Penthesilea and Medea."

In Greek mythology, the mainstream creation myth is that Gaia, the goddess of the earth, and Uranus, the god of the sky, created all things. Therefore, Gaia, the goddess of the earth, is regarded as the mother of the gods.

Because even the great sky god Uranus split from the earth mother goddess Gaia.

The essence of this creation myth is actually the creation of the world by the Mother Earth.

After all, in the era of backward human civilization, limited by backward navigation technology, human civilization believed that the earth was larger than the ocean, so even Pontos [Ocean] was part of Gaia [Earth].

Human beings thousands of years later will definitely sneer at the idea that Pontos [the ocean] is part of Gaia [the earth], knowing that the land area is less than half of the ocean.

In fact, thousands of years ago, there were human civilizations living in coastal areas who believed that the ocean was larger than the land, so it was the goddess of the ocean who created the world.

In the creation myth of the sea goddess, after the separation of heaven and earth, the creation goddess Eurynome emerged from the sea.

Eurynome captured the north wind over the Aegean Sea and created the great serpent Ophion, and then the two combined to become the ancestor of all things in the world.

After they completed creation, Ophion believed that he had greater merit and should dominate the world, and was driven into the dark underground world by Eurynome.

The creation of the Earth Mother Goddess and the Creation of the Ocean Goddess——

From these two creation myths, it is obvious that the Creation of the Ocean Goddess is an ancient Greek native myth.

The Earth Mother Goddess created the world and was born after the Mycenaeans invaded the Peloponnese Peninsula.

Because in the myth of the creation of the world by the Mother Goddess of the Earth, even if Ouranos, the God of the Sky, was created by Gaia, the Goddess of the Earth, Uranus, the God of the Sky, who symbolizes men, is more powerful than Gaia.

In the creation myth of the sea goddess, the great snake Ophion, as a creation of Eurynome, was unable to resist the creation goddess Eurynome.

Before the Mycenaeans invaded the Peloponnese, Greece was filled with goddesses almost everywhere from south to north.

Although the Arcadia region has Hermes as a male god, he cannot challenge the goddess Artemis at all.

Ares has great authority in the Yinlis area, just because there is widespread male god worship in the western fringe areas of Greece.

Since goddess worship was the mainstream before the invasion of the Mycenaeans, the creation myth of the ocean goddess, in which Ophion, who symbolizes men, was defeated by the creation goddess Eurynome, is obviously more in line with goddess worship.

The creation myth of the Earth Mother Goddess, in which Ouranos, which symbolizes men, suppresses Gaia and can only be replaced by her son, is obviously inconsistent with goddess worship.

The Isthmus of Corinth is sandwiched between the Aegean Sea and the Gulf of Corinth.

The Corinthian civilization born on this land is most likely to give birth to the creation myth of the sea goddess.

As the patron saint of Corinth, Amphitrite was regarded by the Corinthians as the goddess of creation.

But it is clear that only the Corinthians regarded Amphitrite as the goddess of creation.

People from other regions would never regard the patron saint of the Corinthians as the incarnation of the goddess of creation.

Therefore, in addition to Amphitrite, there is another ocean goddess who carries the myth of the creation of the ocean goddess and is regarded as the incarnation of the creation goddess.

The goddess of creation who can be widely recognized by all city-states will never be the patron saint of a certain city-state.

Therefore, Thetis, who was not the patron saint of the city-state, became another ocean goddess who carried the creation myth of the ocean goddess.

The myth shared by Amphitrite and Thetis is, of course, not just the creation myth of the ocean goddess.

In mythology, Amphitrite and Thetis were both regarded as sea goddesses with prophetic powers.

Even without Poseidon, Amphitrite was regarded as the Queen of the Sea with great authority.

Thetis is also the leader of the Ocean Goddess Alliance.

There are two sea queens in the sea, which is obviously proof that the images of Amphitrite and Thetis highly overlap.

In the myth of Hephaestus, the god of fire, because Hephaestus was born with an ugly face, he was thrown into the sea as soon as he was born. As the incarnation of the ocean, the sea goddess became the adoptive mother who raised Hephaestus.

During the Trojan War, Hephaestus, in order to thank Thetis for raising him, worked at night to cast a new divine armor for Thetis' son Achilles.

Thetis is undoubtedly the incarnation of the ocean goddess who created the world.

But in another myth, Amphitrite's other identity Eurynome was also the adoptive mother of Hephaestus.

This is yet another proof that Amphitrite and Thetis carry the same myth.

"My Amphitrite—"

After confirming that Amphitrite was also his woman, Luo Yin stretched out his left hand towards Amphitrite.

Amphitrite immediately stepped back to avoid Luo Yin's right hand, and then asked dissatisfiedly.

"What are you doing? Are you not here to help me, but have the same ambitions as Zeus and Poseidon?"

Looking at Amphitrite who was wary of him, Luo Yin said with a smile.

"I just want to remind you that I am your husband so you won't be wary of me anymore."

"You--you actually used such nonsense to blaspheme a virgin goddess!"

Amphitrite raised her silver trident angrily and threatened Luo Yin.

"Although I am not in my prime, if you want to force me to surrender, I will definitely make you pay the price."

"I have no intention of fighting you!"

Luo Yin put down the divine spear, and after just a moment's hesitation, he threw his body at Amphitrite's feet, and then grabbed Amphitrite's beautiful ankles wearing silver strappy sandals with both hands.

The next moment!

Amphitrite's eyes widened as Luo Yin grabbed her ankle, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
