498 "Snake" and "Bird" and "Sword"
(Thank you very much for the po-se~_Night sky, the soul is in a desolate way, the cute and cute girl, do I have a name? I am a small weapon, the reward of the Frozen Thunder Dragon!)
In addition to snakes, Athena also has deep connections with birds.
Medusa, the goddess of the snake with evil eyes, is the best evidence to prove that Athena is closely related to birds.
The three banshee sisters, including Medusa, not only have snake hair, but also have golden wings on their backs.
The second sister of the three banshee sisters, Yuri's second sister, means a person flying in the distance, while the youngest sister Medusa is the mother of Pegasus, who has wings.
The ancient portrait of Medusa is circulated in the Mediterranean region.
In this portrait, Medusa holds a snake in both hands and has a bird on her head, which clearly shows the close relationship between the snake and the bird.
However, what really connects Athena and birds is its own identity as the god of the earth and the underworld.
In ancient times, long ago, human ancestors believed that birds had the magic of flying in other worlds and in the present world.
Moreover, the soul of the deceased will turn into a bird's posture and fly into the sky, or be guided by the bird to enter the underworld.
In order to go back and forth on the earth and the underworld, the snake symbolizing the earth and the bird symbolizing the underworld were combined, becoming a symbol of Athena, the goddess of the earth and the underworld.
So, with birds added to the essence of the snake, Medusa became a snake with wings and a winged snake.
The original Athena, who has not been spread to Greece, became the gods of Greek mythology, is a snake with wings. It is the goddess of life and death worshipped by ancient people.
The goddess of the snake who ruled the earth and the underworld and ruled the wise nature of the sky.
There is no doubt that such Athena is the highest-level existence among the gods.
This is not a divine character that evolved casually, but a true form that Athena had not yet spread to Greece.
After all, the society at that time was still feminist supremacy, and it was not surprising that the mythical God King would be the queen.
Therefore, Athena was the god among the gods that no one could match at that time, and the queen of the gods with the highest authority.
This is the real Athena, the highest existence among the gods.
However, the society of feminist supremacy soon ended. Men began to take over women and became the main end of the real society.
In this case, the myth begins to be tampered with.
The goddesses headed by Athena were driven down from the highest throne, and the male gods who held force began to rebel. The myth of dominant feminist society was greatly changed by men who ended feminist society at that time.
The Queen's Age ended, the King's Age began, and the Supreme God changed from the matriarchal Mother Earth God to the strict Father God.
So, starting from Zeus, the God King was born.
So Athena went from being the queen of the divine world who had once ruled the Mediterranean to a down and obedient queen.
When the myth was tampered with by men, the oldest Athena and her clone fell into the wife, sister or daughter of the God King, and lost the glory of the past.
Athena not only became Zeus' daughter. Metis was also humiliated by Zeus and took away his wisdom. Medusa even fell into a monster.
Not only that. Hera or Aphrodite in Greek mythology are all the Goddess of the Earth who have been tampered with myths like Athena, and are the goddesses who are the same as Athena's origin and are in charge of life and death.
The defeated Earth Mother God is also mentioned in mythology as a winged snake.
dragon.
The evil dragon, who appeared in countless myths and was defeated by heroes and gods, was the posture of the Earth Mother God who had been tampered with the myth and was defeated after it was belittled.
It is not because they are evil monsters that they are attacked, but because the winners disgraced the losers into evil monsters in order to fabricate their legitimacy, and then spread them into the story of their elimination of monsters, and established such a myth.
Because of this, the Winged Snake, that is, the dragon, became a mythical monster, and the divinity of the Earth Mother God was fundamentally denied.
"Athena in Greek mythology is one of Athena, who was once the queen of the gods and the gods after being tampered with the mythology. Metis, who became Zeus's wife, is also part of the queen who ruled the Mediterranean." Liliana said at last.
"And the essence of this great gods, Medusa, who represents the snake, was even tampered with as a banshee killed by the heroes of the Athenas. Perhaps it was precisely because of such a conflict that the manifestation of Athena would lose the essence of the snake, right?"
"In other words, once the lost snake is retrieved by this Athena, the goddess will be restored to the Queen of the Gods who once ruled the Mediterranean and the God Realm, the highest god of the Trinity!" Erica made a summary.
"Once the true queen is retrieved, Athena will undoubtedly be the highest level deity, and will never be below Vereslana and Mekal!"
After hearing all this, Noah suddenly realized.
No wonder Athena said that she was the queen who once had everything and lost everything.
In this way, this Athena is not as simple as the goddess in Greek mythology who is in charge of wisdom and war, but the queen of the divine world who is the earth, darkness and wisdom.
Think about it carefully, isn’t the darkness that filled Athena’s body last night with a heart-pounding breath of death the most favorable evidence to prove that Athena is the dark goddess in charge of the underworld?
At that time, Athena lost the most essential snake. As the symbol of the queen, the identity of the earth goddess was deprived of her identity and could only exercise the power of the goddess of darkness and wisdom. I believe that the power should be much worse than when she was in her complete state, right?
That's why Noah felt that Athena was not difficult to deal with at that time.
But if Athena retrieved the snake, it would be different.
By then, Athena will no longer be just a goddess of wisdom and war, but a queen who ruled the gods.
"kindness?"
At this moment, Noah felt that one of the patterns connected to the ten incarnations in his heart suddenly lit for no reason, as if it had turned into a dry lake and was injected with a large amount of lake water, making part of Noah's power begin to become active.
Noah raised one of his hands.
I saw that the hand was shining with golden light, illuminating the surrounding space.
"That's it?" Erica and Liliana also saw this scene clearly, and were stunned on the spot.
But Noah seemed to understand something, raised her eyebrows and raised her lips.
"It seems that even if the queen really retrieves the snake, my sword can cut off the snake!"
Hearing this sentence, Erica and Liliana seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions suddenly became brighter.
"Have you got a favorable weapon?" Erica's face reopened a gorgeous smile.
"It is worthy of being the king who can even solve the problem of two highest-level gods at the same time. If you get that sword, you may become the strongest king who is most suitable to deal with the god who refuses to follow, and even in the future, he will not be weaker than the other god-killers!"
"In this way, you will have a better chance of winning against Athena." Liliana's mood also became a little excited, but then she became a little weird.
"However, in less than ten days, he can fight with two gods of the highest level and compete with the Italian King of Swords. Now he has met the former queen of the gods. This time the disputes around the king seem to be very much."
"That's how I need my existence." Erica glanced at Noah and said with a smile.
"After all, if there are too many disputes, the king has no time to pay attention to secular affairs, right?"
Noah rolled her eyes.
"Wait, Erica." Liliana frowned.
"Did you forget my existence?"
"Lily's words cannot be suitable for being the butler of the king." Erica said bluntly.
"Lily is more suitable to be a simple knight than a housekeeper, isn't it?"
Liliana was speechless.
Liliana, who is too straightforward, is indeed not suitable for doing things like Andre that specializes in dealing with complicated matters.
"It doesn't matter what you do. To me, it's just a lack of guidance and follow-up to deal with affairs." Noah sighed again, and then turned his eyes to the entrance of the ruins.
"Go in and take a look first. Maybe the snake that Athena is looking for is inside."
