Reversing Greek Mythology

In the polytheistic worship of Olympus, in which Zeus was the central protagonist, Hestia, the goddess of fire, was enshrined as one of the twelve main gods of Olympus.

In Greek mythology, Hestia was not only set as the eldest sister of Zeus, but was also regarded as the oldest and most sacred goddess on Olympus.

In order to show Zeus' respect for Hestia, Zeus also made Hestia the chief among all the goddesses in Olympus.

The twelve main gods of Olympus: Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Athena, Demeter, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hel Mess, Hestia——

They are able to dominate other gods because most of them were already the patron saints of powerful city-states before they became gods of faith.

For example, Zeus is the patron saint of Mycenae, Hera is the patron saint of Sparta, Poseidon is the patron saint of Inlis, Athena is the patron saint of Athens, and Demeter can be regarded as the clone of Persephone. Pylos is the patron saint, Apollo is the patron saint of Troy, Aphrodite is the patron saint of Cyprus, and Hermes is the patron saint of Arcadia.

Although Artemis and Ares lost their status as patron gods of the city-state, in order to eliminate the gods of the colonies, the Greeks used Artemis to confuse and annex the moon goddess and hunting goddess in Thrace and Asia Minor. Ares also He is the tool to destroy the colonial gods.

The prototype of Hephaestus was Ptah, the god of fire and craftsman who was worshiped as the supreme god in the city of Memphis in Egypt.

But Hestia, the goddess of fire, is an anomaly.

She is neither the patron saint of the city nor the tool used by the Greeks to annex colonial gods.

For Zeus, Hestia has neither awesome strength nor value worth utilizing. Why does Zeus worship Hestia as the oldest and most sacred goddess for no reason?

Also as brothers and sisters of Zeus, Poseidon and Hades were both suppressed by Zeus. Not only were Demeter and Hera not respected by Zeus, they were also desecrated by Zeus and became the two wives of Zeus.

In addition to Hestia, the goddess of fire, Hecate is also an outlier in Greek mythology.

Although Hecate is not one of the twelve main gods, Zeus gives Hecate far more respect than the other twelve main gods.

In early mythology, Hecate had three attributes: sky god, earth god, and ocean god at the same time. Perhaps this is why she was called the three-phase goddess.

In the setting of Greek mythology, Hecate was the daughter of Asteria, the sister of Leto, the mother of Apollo. Therefore, she was the niece of Zeus and the cousin of Apollo and Artemis.

Hecate was regarded as the most respected goddess of Zeus. Zeus gave Hecate precious gifts, allowing her to share the earth and the sea that did not produce grains.

Hecate was also honored in the starry sky and revered by the immortal gods.

Zeus never harmed Hecate, not only did he not deprive her of the authority she already had on the earth, sky and sea, but he continued to increase Hecate's authority, making Hecate the goddess of the underworld.

In Greek mythology, Hecate is simply the supreme queen who rules the sky, earth, ocean, and underworld with Zeus.

Not to mention Zeus's biological brothers Poseidon and Hades, even Zeus' biological father Cronus and biological mother Rhea cannot get this kind of respect.

Zeus never harmed Hecate—

In addition to Hestia, which god in mythology has not been harmed by Zeus?

Before Athena was born, Zeus swallowed Metis to prevent Athena from being born.

Poseidon and Apollo were punished by Zeus for serving humanity.

Hera was punished for defying Zeus.

Demeter was forced to become the wife of Zeus.

Zeus respects Hecate. It can be said that Hecate is more like Zeus's biological mother than Zeus's biological mother.

However, Hecate is a virgin goddess. Hecate cannot be Zeus's biological mother, nor can she be Zeus's woman.

In other words, Zeus did not get any benefits from Hecate, so he took the initiative to respect Hecate like his own grandson.

Luo Yin looked at Hestia and Hecate, who were like beautiful dolls, and said with a faint smile.

"Zeus! I want to know why you respect Hestia and Hecate without any reason in mythology. It seems that the only way to find the truth is to trace their origins in reality. In mythology, Hestia and Hecate are both transparent people without any mythological stories, which shows that in the Mycenaean era, Hestia and Hecate were already declining gods who had lost their status as patron saints of the city-state, and became three sisters with Hestia. Of Demeter and Hera, Demeter represents Persephone, the patron goddess of Pylos, and Hera is the Spartan goddess of the Peloponnese, if that is not a species. Coincidentally, Hestia was also the patron saint of the city-states of the Peloponnese Peninsula. Apollo and Leto were the gods of Asia Minor, and Hecate was set as their cousin and niece in the myth, indicating that Heka was their cousin. Theta was originally the patron saint of the city-states in Asia Minor. Precisely because Hecate was a foreign god, the Greeks did not understand Hecate. They had no idea whether Hecate was the god of the sky, the earth, or the sea. They could only describe the sky as a god. The attributes of God, Earth God, and Ocean God were all given to Hecate, and finally, Hecate was given the attributes of the God of the Underworld.”

"You guy-"

After hearing Luo Yin's words, Zeus's two heads showed displeasure at the same time.

"Why do you want to know about Hestia and Hecate? Do you want to take the two goddesses I respect as your own? You are so greedy. I almost want to call you the enemy of the goddesses."

"You are the real enemy of the goddess, right?"

Luo Yin rolled his eyes and said.

"And you said Hestia and Hecate are the goddesses you respect the most, which is ridiculous. They are obviously the two goddesses you have hurt the most."

Luo Yin turned his head, looked at Crete and said.

"Zeus! After the West Semitic people's rule in Egypt was overthrown by the southern Egyptians, the West Semitic people were forced to migrate to other places. Some West Semitic people migrated from the land back to the Phoenician area, and some West Semitic people migrated from the sea to Crete, and some West Semites who migrated to the Peloponnese and Asia Minor. Now I want to ask you an interesting question. The question is, before the Mycenaeans ruled the Argos area and regarded you as the patron saint of the Mycenaean kingdom, who was the original patron saint of the Argos area? In Greek mythology, Lyum in the southwest of the Asia Minor peninsula? In the Kaya region, Zeus was also regarded as the patron saint. Before the Mycenaeans migrated to the southwest of Asia Minor, who was the original patron saint?

"Hehehehe...hahahaha..."

After listening to Luo Yin's two questions, Zeus immediately burst into hearty laughter.

"You really know what you are asking. Before I arrived, Hestia was the patron saint of Argos, and Hecate was the patron saint of Lycia in the southwest of Asia Minor. This is why I respect Hestia and Hecate. Carter’s reason.”
