Reversing Greek Mythology

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

The sound of waves crashing on the beach kept reaching his ears. Luo Yin opened his eyes and woke up, and found that he was lying among an olive tree.

Luo Yin sat up and turned to look in the direction where the sound of the waves came from. He saw a clean beach behind him and the endless sea less than a hundred meters away from him.

What surprised Luo Yin was that on this coast suitable for human survival, Luo Yin could not see any traces of human existence.

"Did I come to an uninhabited island in the sea?"

Luo Yin walked to the edge of the beach with doubts in his heart, then turned around to observe the land behind him.

Luo Yin became even more confused when he saw that the coastline of this piece of land was endless and it obviously couldn't be an uninhabited island in the sea.

At this moment, a familiar girl's voice suddenly sounded behind Luo Yin.

"Hades——"

Hearing this familiar voice, Luo Yin instinctively turned around and looked at the sea behind him, and saw Athena and Thetis sticking their heads out of the water in front of them, looking at themselves with innocent and lovely smiles on their faces.

"Did you just call me Hades?"

Athena and Thetis swam to the beach like lazy mermaids. After lying on the beach from the waist up, Athena said with a teasing smile.

"Aren't you Hades? The eldest son of God King Cronus and God Queen Rhea, and the eldest grandson of Earth Mother Goddess Gaia and Sky God Uranus."

Thetis followed.

"I heard that you were swallowed by God King Cronus as soon as you were born. Why are you here?"

After hearing what Athena and Thetis said, Luo Yin opened his eyes wide and murmured in disbelief.

"Did I come to the golden age ruled by Cronus in mythology and replace Hades? Because this is the age of mythology, there are no humans living on the land behind me?"

Hades——

As the king of the underworld in Greek mythology, the eldest brother of the three Zeus brothers can be called the biggest grudge among the Greek gods.

In real history, because Hades was born the latest, there are almost no mythological deeds of Hades in Greek mythology. Even Hades became the king of the underworld because he was arranged to be the wife of Persephone, the queen of the underworld. husband.

Hades appeared several times in the stories of mythical heroes. His performance was completely inferior to that of Zeus and Poseidon, and he was even wounded by the human demigod Hercules with a poisonous arrow.

Of course, this is just the real-life version of Hades.

In the setting of the mythical world, Hades, as the leader of the three brothers, joined forces with Zeus and Poseidon to overthrow the rule of the first generation of Titans, and then the three brothers used their equal identities to divide the heaven, sea and underworld. dominion.

When Hades, the king of Hades, snatched Persephone to the underworld, even if Zeus personally came forward, he could not change the result that Persephone was taken by Hades as his own.

This is the mythical version of Hades.

Regarding whether Hades is strong or weak, many people who claim to be familiar with mythology always make double standards.

People who belittle Hades think that Hades cannot even defeat human demigods, so thinking that Hades is powerful is just flattering Hades.

But these people who belittle Hades turn a blind eye to the mythical setting of Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus joining forces to fight against the first-generation Titans, and the three brothers equally dividing the heavens, seas, and underworlds.

In fact, if you want to know whether Hades is strong or weak, you must first confirm whether Hades is the real version or the mythical version.

The real version of Hades, as the trinity clone of Zeus, became the eldest brother of Zeus and Poseidon because the prototype was the ancient king of gods.

But when he came to the Peloponnese Peninsula, the Mycenaean civilization was on the verge of being destroyed by the Dorians, so naturally no one created great mythological stories for Hades.

I think the real version of Hades is weak enough to lose to humans and there is no problem, even if I think Hades is weak enough to lose to ants, there is no problem.

Because Hades is neither the patron saint of the city-state in real history, nor a god of faith who rose up in the religious era.

Hades in real history was worshiped as a subordinate god of Persephone, and he was the strongest bastard among the Greek gods.

To think that the mythical version of Hades is weak is really a double standard.

While using the setting in mythology, I felt that Hades was weak enough to be shot by a human demigod, while at the same time ignoring the setting that Hades fought side by side with Zeus and Poseidon, and that the three brothers had equal status.

If people who belittle Hades feel that Hades' mythological settings are false, they choose to ignore it.

It certainly did not occur to these people that Heracles did not exist.

No matter how weak Hades' performance is, he is still a real god.

Heracles was completely fabricated from mythology. His prototype was not a person or a god, but the Mycenaeans.

"I came to the age of mythology and replaced the mythical version of Hades..."

Luo Yin came back to his senses, looked at Athena and Thetis and asked.

"Since you know my identity, you should also tell me your identities!"

Athena and Thetis looked at each other, and then Thetis spoke first.

"I am one of the three thousand ocean goddesses born to the ocean god Oceanus and the ocean goddess Thesis. My name is Eurynome."

Athena continued.

"I am the sister of Eurynome, Metis, the goddess of the sea."

After listening to what the two said, Luo Yin said with a smile.

"This world is indeed a mythical world made up by people hundreds of years later."

In real history, when the Corinthians worshiped Amphitrite, the Corinthians in the Stone Age civilization had no ability to sail across the ocean. The most the Corinthians could sail was the Aegean Sea and the Ionian Sea.

Therefore, in early myths, Amphitrite's other two identities were the fifty sea goddesses born from the creation goddess Eurynome from the Aegean Sea and the ancient sea god Nereus from the Ionian Sea. The leader.

It was not until the Greeks had the ability to sail to the Atlantic Ocean that the ocean god Oceanus appeared in Greek mythology. Then there was the ocean god Oceanus and the ocean goddess Thesis who gave birth to three thousand ocean goddesses. set up.

There is no doubt that as long as we understand the development stages of human civilization in real history, we can know the timeline of the birth of the settings of Greek mythology.

The creation myth of the ocean goddess Eurynome clearly precedes the theogony and mythology fabricated by people hundreds of years later.

"This is the mythical world created by Chaos, the god of chaos. Then we are all the grandchildren of the earth mother goddess Gaia and the sky god Uranus. My dear sisters, come to my arms quickly and let us Brother Hades gives you a hug."

"Whose brother are you?"

Eurynome rolled his eyes dissatisfied, and Metis said with a smile.

"Just like the God King Cronus is the youngest among his siblings, his children are also the youngest among the cousins, so you should call us sister."

"Who said that younger people can't be older brothers?"

Luo Yin said with a smile.

"I just want to be your brother. If you don't call me brother, then I will put you in bed clothes."
