Reversing Greek Mythology

Although before the Mycenaeans invaded the Peloponnese, the Thebans had already made up the creation myth of the earth goddess Gaia for Mnemosyne, and the Corinthians had made up the sea goddess Euryth for Amphitrite. However, when the Mycenaeans created the Greek mythology, they did not adopt the creation myths made by these local people. Instead, they made up the creation myth of Chaos, the god of chaos.

In the creation myth fabricated by the Mycenaeans, Chaos, the god of chaos, created Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, Uranus, the god of the sky, Tartarus, the god of the hell abyss, Erebus, the god of darkness, and the night. Goddess Nyx.

In unorthodox mythology, Uranus, the god of sky, was not regarded as one of the five creation gods because he was split from Gaia, the mother goddess of earth. Eros, the god of love, replaced Uranus, the god of sky, as the creator. God of the world.

But the Greeks did not worship Eros.

The fact that Aphrodite, the goddess of love, came from the Eastern Mediterranean and was not born in mainland Greece is proof.

After all, the Greek natives at that time were in a backward Stone Age civilization, and it was difficult to survive. There was no need to think about praising love.

Only those who made up myths hundreds of years later, because they were nobles who did not need to worry about survival, would have the idea of ​​praising love and regard Eros, the god of love, as one of the five creation gods.

If you carefully study the five creation gods, you will find that Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, symbolizes the earth, Tartarus, the god of hell and abyss, symbolizes the underground world, Erebus, the god of darkness, symbolizes the darkness underground, and Nyx, the goddess of the night, symbolizes the night. of darkness.

These creation gods all symbolize a part of the world itself. Only Eros, the god of love, is different from these creation gods, symbolizing illusory love.

Therefore, Eros, the god of love, is not one of the five creator gods.

Ouranos, the sky god who symbolizes the sky, is the fifth creation god alongside the four creation gods.

After Chaos, the god of chaos, created the five creation gods, he fell into eternal sleep. Uranus, the god of sky, became the first king of the gods.

Uranus married the beautiful Gaia, and the two great creation gods combined and gave birth to six sons and six daughters. They are called the first generation of Titans.

The first generation of Titans were Oceanus, Coos, Cleos, Hyperion, Apetus, Cronus, Thesis, Theia, Themis, and Mo Nemosyne, Phoebe, Rhea.

Worried that his sons would take his place, Ouranos did not allow his six sons to appear on the earth, so he imprisoned them in Gaia's body.

Gaia couldn't stand Uranus' cruel treatment of her sons, so she instigated her sons to overthrow Uranus' rule.

Among the six sons, only the brave Cronus accepted this task and used a sickle to cut off the connection between the earth and the sky so that the sky could no longer control the earth.

In the creation myths of the native Greeks, there was both an earth goddess and a sea goddess who created the world, but there was no sky god.

This myth that the sky god Uranus is more powerful than the earth goddess Gaia is obviously influenced by the Sumerian mythology of the Mesopotamia.

The creation myth of the Mesopotamia basin is that An, the god of sky, was worshiped as the supreme god, and Enlil, the god of earth, was the son of An, the god of heaven.

In addition, the patron god of the Mycenaeans, Zeus, is also the god of the sky. As the clone of Gaia, the sky god Uranus has the power to surpass Gaia.

Cronus replaced Uranus as the second generation of God-King, and married the beautiful Rhea to become the God-Queen. Rhea gave birth to Cronus three sons and three daughters, namely Hades and Poseidon. , Zeus and Hestia, Demeter, Hera.

Not wanting to make the same mistake as Uranus, Cronus swallowed his three sons after they were born.

Only the youngest son Zeus was replaced by Rhea with a stone and did not enter Cronus's belly.

After Cronus swallowed the stone that replaced Zeus, Rhea hid Zeus in Crete and raised him secretly.

In Greek mythology, there are some logically incorrect versions that believe that Uranus hid all the twelve Titans in the body of Gaia, and Cronus swallowed all the children born to Rhea.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that the only sons who pose a threat to Ouranos and Cronus are.

There was absolutely no reason for them to hide their daughters and anger their wives.

So in early myths, Uranus only imprisoned six sons, and Cronus only devoured three sons.

It is precisely because Hestia, Demeter, and Hera were not swallowed that there is a myth that Hera was given by Rhea to the ocean god Oceanus and the ocean goddess Thesis to be raised.

Zeus did not see Hera when he used herbs to make Cronus vomit his brothers.

It wasn't until Zeus went to the end of the world that he saw the beautiful Hera for the first time in the home of Oceanus.

There is a myth that Zeus and Hera met for the first time because Hera, as the daughter, was not swallowed by Cronus.

On a sunny beach.

Luo Yin looked at Eurynome [Thetis] and Metis [Athena] who were hidden in the seawater from the waist down, and said seductively with a smile.

"Sisters! Whoever calls me brother first, I will marry her first."

Wow——

Metis twisted his waist slightly, and the long blue snake body immediately appeared on the sea, slapping a stream of sea water towards Luo Yin.

After Luo Yin's whole body was wet by the sea water, Metis said with a sweet smile.

"It seems that our sisters can't get married, so we can only ask you to marry us? If you don't want to be swallowed back by God King Cronus, then just call us sister. Maybe we will be kind and hide you in the sea."

"Metis!"

Seeing Luo Yin getting wet from the sea water, Eurynome looked at Metis with a dissatisfied expression.

As Eurynome turned his waist, a long green snake body appeared on the sea, entangled with Metis's snake body.

Metis blinked his blue eyes and teased Eurynome.

"Is it because we don't have brothers, so you regard our cousin as your younger brother and feel sorry for him? Or is it because you regard him as a man and fell in love with him at first sight?"

"You girl——"

Eurynome jumped on Metis, pretending to be angry and tickling her.

Luo Yin looked at the two goddesses playing around and hesitated whether he should join them.

"Although they have not recovered their memories, my current identity is their cousin. Even if my behavior makes them feel blasphemous and offensive, they shouldn't be too angry, right?"

Just when Luo Yin was about to pounce on Eurynome and Metis, Luo Yin's familiar laughter suddenly came from the sky.

"Sister, look, it's a snake!"

"This voice is-"

Luo Yin raised his head and saw Circe and Medea, sitting upright on a white cloud in the sky with white wings stretched out from behind, wearing white dresses.

"Circe! Medea!"

After calling out their names in a low voice, Luo Yin shook his head and said.

"No! Your identities now should be Eos, the goddess of dawn, and Selene, the goddess of the moon."
