Reversing Greek Mythology

Of course, Luo Yin could not hide the fact that the Athenian princes Erechtheus and Portes went to the southern coast of the Mediterranean.

Seeing Pallas Athena returning to Athens in Mycenae, Luo Yin came to Athens specially to welcome the returning fleet with King Pandion, Princess Procne and Philomela.

Port of Piraeus.

The port is only eight kilometers away from the center of Athens.

A thousand years later in real history, this port will develop into the largest port in Greece and will be the lifeline for the city of Athens to become the most economically prosperous city-state.

In order to protect the safety of the port, the Athenians built a fortress here and developed it into one of the major cities in Attica.

Under the expectant gazes of Luo Yin and others, the fleets of Erechtheus and Portes sailed into the port and finally anchored on the coast.

After Erechtheus and Portes carried the statue of Pallas out of the boat, Pandion walked up to his two sons excitedly and said.

"Erctheus! Portes! I'm so happy to see you back safe."

Erechtheus and Portus said with smiles.

"Father! Let us take the statue of the goddess to the temple on the Acropolis, and then tell you and our sisters about our experience!"

"The most important thing now is to complete the ceremony and let the goddess Metis add a new godhead."

Pandion nodded immediately and said.

"You are right, the most important thing now is to complete the goddess's ritual."

With that, Pandion made way for his two sons.

Erechtheus and Portes were like the most devout believers. They carried the statue of Pallas step by step to the Temple of Metis on the Acropolis of Athens, and then placed the statue of Pallas on the open-air altar. In front of the statue of Tis.

Having finished placing the statue of Pallas, Erechtheus and Portes turned around on the altar.

Seeing thousands of people gathered around the altar, Erechtheus walked to the top of the altar and shouted loudly.

"Dear Athenians, please witness this great moment. In order to make the goddess who protects the city of Athens more powerful, we led our brave warriors to fight with the barbarians on the southern coast of the Mediterranean and take away their statues of the goddess. Now our great goddess The goddess will absorb the barbarians and gain a new godhead and name.”

After Erechtheus finished speaking, the statue of the goddess Metis behind him immediately bloomed with divine light and enveloped the statue of Pallas.

Then under the witness of everyone, the statue of Pallas slowly flew towards the statue of Metis, and finally merged into the statue of Metis.

After the two statues were fused, the statue of Metis changed and had the facial features of both Metis and Pallas.

Seeing the miracle of the fusion of the two gods, Portus walked to Erechtheus and said.

"Dear Athenians! The name of this goddess worshiped by barbarians is Pallas. Now that Pallas has come to the city of Athens, from now on she will be the goddess of our city of Athens - Athena! Pallas Athena as our The patron saint of the city of Athens is both the goddess of wisdom and the goddess of war. The goddess’s wisdom can make our city of Athens stronger, and her bravery can allow us Athenians to defeat all enemies.”

After listening to the words of his two sons, Pandion shouted the name of the goddess loudly.

"Palas Athena!"

With Pandion, the old king, taking the lead, others also shouted the name of the goddess.

"Palas Athena!"

"Palas Athena!"

"Palas Athena!"

Amid the shouts of thousands of people, Pallas Athena descended from the sky with her wings spread out from behind, and landed quietly on the open-air altar.

The human eye cannot see the hundred-meter-tall figure of the goddess, but Luo Yin can.

Athena and Luo Yin looked at each other, then looked at the Athenians around the altar with a satisfied smile and said.

"My lovely Athenians did not disappoint me. They did not think that the new Pallas Athena was based on the barbarian goddess Pallas. Now the two-in-one Pallas Athena is still It is the Athenians’ own goddess as the subject.”

"Isn't this a matter of course? The Athenians despise the people on the southern coast of the Mediterranean as barbarians, and of course they will not let the barbarian goddess replace you."

"you--"

Athena glared at Luo Yin with a fierce look and said.

"Your reaction is really unpleasant, as if all this was expected by you. Now that I have gained new power, let me wash away the shame you gave me!"

After speaking, Athena summoned a war spear with her right hand and a divine shield with her left hand, and her gorgeous white clothes turned into golden divine armor.

Seeing Athena transform into the goddess of war, Luo Yin activated his divine power and transformed into a figure one hundred meters tall to confront Athena.

Seeing that Luo Yin did not summon a weapon, Athena sneered and teased.

"You know you can't defeat me, so you want to just admit defeat?"

Luo Yin shook his head, then looked at Athena with serious eyes and said.

"I'm just guessing about your origin in reality. In the genealogy of gods, you were originally classified as the goddess of the ocean, but your name has nothing to do with the ocean. The name Metis means wisdom. , so you are more like the goddess of wisdom from the sea than the goddess of the sea. If you want to correctly interpret your origin, you must obviously explore it in history.”

After hearing Luo Yin's words, Athena said with an unhappy expression.

"You're not stupid enough to think I'm an alien god, are you?"

"No - you are undoubtedly the local god, the patron saint of the Athenians. After all, the Greeks - it should be said that all ethnic groups in the world have the custom of treating other ethnic groups as barbarians. Proud Athenians, Of course, he would not let the barbarian goddess become his patron saint. If the Athenians went to war with the barbarians, would the barbarian goddess protect the Athenians or the barbarians who were closer to her? We all know that Athenians would not regard barbarian goddesses as their own. Just like in the era of ancestor worship, Athenians would not regard other people’s ancestors as their own.”

After a pause, Luo Yin looked at Athena with a faint smile and said.

"Although you are not a foreign god, your birth was indeed influenced by other goddesses. When the Egyptian region, Phoenician region, and Asia Minor peninsula along the Eastern Mediterranean developed mature bronze civilizations, and the Xitai Empire even invented iron tools, China The Mediterranean and Western Mediterranean coasts were still in the midst of backward tribal civilization and the Stone Age. Navigators from the Phoenician region were keen to trade with these backward areas, or directly colonize and plunder these backward areas. The Attica region was also one of the backward areas where navigators conducted trade. While trading with these foreigners from the sea, the Athenians also communicated with them and gained some understanding of the eastern Mediterranean coast and the great people. The God Queen Aphrodite is the patron saint of Phoenicians sailing on the sea. The Xitai Empire dominated the Asia Minor Peninsula under the protection of the Sun Queen. Inshtar, the God Queen of the Mesopotamia, also had a glorious past. "
