Reversing Greek Mythology

Although the worship of gods headed by the twelve main gods of Olympus is a kind of polytheistic worship, the worship of gods with Zeus as the core protagonist is essentially the worship of one god, turning all other gods into subordinate gods of Zeus. .

It eventually evolved into the polytheistic worship of Olympus, not because Zeus did not want to eliminate other gods, but because the Mycenaeans were unable to conquer city-states that worshiped other gods.

In other words, all city-state patron gods are essentially worshiping one god.

Restricted by backward technology, city-states in the Bronze Age were unable to establish a unified centralized empire. They could only allow their own patron saints to coexist with the patron saints of other city-states, forming polytheistic worship throughout the region.

In real history, with the development of civilization and technology, powerful city-states were able to conquer areas thousands of miles away through land and sea, and highly centralized empires were born. The worship of one god replaced the worship of multiple gods and entered the stage of history.

In the process of the development of human civilization, due to the limitations of civilization and technology, the end point of the development of monotheistic worship of city-state patron saints is the worship of polytheism.

The birth of polytheistic worship can also reflect the birth of a loose kingdom in the form of a city-state alliance in a region.

After the rapid development of human civilization and technology, the end point of the development of polytheistic worship is the worship of one god.

Eastern civilization entered the era of unified empires, and the rulers implemented the policy of deposing hundreds of schools of thought and only respecting Confucianism. This was an alternative form of polytheistic worship to monotheistic worship.

The real purpose of the Western Roman Empire in abolishing polytheistic worship and replacing it with monotheistic worship was probably to use monotheistic worship to unify the thoughts of various regions.

After all, only by burning books and humiliating Confucian scholars in the same way can we integrate the vast territory of millions of miles into a country.

If within the empire's vast territory of millions of miles, different regions worship different gods and popularize different doctrines, the empire will be just a loose empire in the form of a city-state alliance.

As long as the first ruler dies, the huge empire will fall apart.

The Great Qin Empire II died, and Alexander died and the territories were divided. A very important reason is that the Great Qin Empire and the Alexander Empire did not achieve ideological unity. The survivors of the Six Kingdoms missed their homeland, and each region of the Alexander Empire went their own way.

Luo Yin was contrary to Zeus who promoted the worship of one god. Even if Luo Yin drove away Ares, he did not let himself replace Ares, but supported the local goddess to become the patron saint.

Compared with Zeus, Luo Yin is obviously a good man who treats the goddess gently.

Seeing Hestia change the target of attack to Amphitrite, and Hecate also change the target of attack to Enyo, Luo Yin said with a serious expression.

"Zeus! I don't want the goddesses to get hurt fighting over me, so let's fight quickly!"

After saying that, Luo Yin swung the divine spear with all his strength to attack Zeus.

A loud bang!

Zeus held up the golden trident with both hands to block Luo Yin's attack, and then because he could not resist Luo Yin's divine power, his body involuntarily retreated step by step.

Seeing that Zeus was suppressed by his own divine power, Luo Yin opened his mouth and spit out a stream of solar fire.

Poseidon's head on Zeus's shoulder immediately opened its mouth and spewed out endless magical sea water, trying to extinguish Luo Yin's sun fire.

But Luo Yin's divine power was far superior to that of Zeus. The sun's fire that Luo Yin spurted approached Poseidon's head while evaporating the sea water.

In the blink of an eye, the sun's fire enveloped Poseidon's head. Poseidon's head couldn't bear the burning of the sun's fire, and he screamed in pain.

"Hateful Pentheus—

Although losing to Luo Yin was an expected result, Zeus still showed an extremely angry expression when he felt Poseidon's pain.

"The pain you have caused me now, I will definitely retaliate tenfold and a hundredfold in the future."

After speaking angrily, Zeus stopped confronting Luo Yin, turned around and fled into the endless Aegean Sea.

After Zeus left, Hestia and Hecate, who were fighting Amphitrite and Enio, immediately stopped moving and looked at Luo Yin with complicated eyes.

"Honey!"

Amphitrite came to Luo Yin and said.

"Now that Zeus has escaped, let's strike while the iron is hot and occupy the city of Mycenae and destroy the temple of Zeus in Mycenae!"

After Luo Yin nodded in agreement, Enni'er asked Luo Yin.

"The city of Mycenae has been developed by the Mycenaeans into the most powerful city-state in the Peloponnese. Will you replace Zeus next, or return the city of Mycenae to Hestia?"

"Of course I want to return Mycenae to Hestia."

Luo Yin said without hesitation.

"I believe that Hestia is also my woman. Letting her sit on the throne of the patron saint of Argos again is no different from ruling the city of Mycenae myself."

"Who is your woman!"

Hestia said dissatisfied after hearing Luo Yin's words.

"I am a virgin goddess. Even Zeus has not violated my final dignity as a goddess. Are you more hateful than Zeus?"

"Well--"

Luo Yin turned his head and asked Amphitrite.

"Amphitrite, Hestia is also my woman, right?"

Amphitrite rolled her eyes at Luo Yin and did not answer the question.

At this moment, Hecate suddenly turned around and flew toward the southwest of Asia Minor.

"The goddess Hecate——"

Luo Yin immediately said loudly.

"Where are you going?"

Hecate stopped, turned her back to Luo Yin and others and said.

"I am a god from Asia Minor and have nothing to do with you. Now I want to return to my hometown."

"But your hometown of Lycia is still controlled by the Mycenaeans. When you return to your hometown, you will only be controlled by Zeus again. If you believe me, I can help you drive away Zeus and take back the patron saint of Lycia. "

Hecate turned her head and looked at Luo Yin with cold and emotionless eyes.

"Would you be so kind as to help me?"

"As long as you give up your identity as a virgin and become my woman, I will help you take back the Lycian region, and I will help me take back the Lycian region."

"Then your level of evil is really not inferior to that of Zeus!"

"Of course you can refuse me! In fact, I did this just because I didn't have time to promote centralized rule. If I had enough time, maybe I would also abolish the worship of polytheism and let all the gods lose their guardian seats and become my subordinate gods. ”

Hecate glanced at Luo Yin with complicated eyes, and then her body turned into a black stream of light and flew away.

Looking at Hecate's leaving figure, Luo Yin couldn't help but say.

"When Hecate returns to the Lycia region, she will probably either be controlled by Zeus again, or become a subordinate god of the Sun Queen."

Then, Luo Yin looked down at Mycenae and said.

"Perseus! I want you to understand that you have lost the protection of Zeus."

After saying that, Luo Yin used his divine power to condense the fire of the sun with a diameter of a hundred meters and smashed it at the Temple of Zeus in Mycenae City.

Boom!

The fire of the sun fell from the sky and swallowed up the Temple of Zeus, instantly burning the temple building and temple priests to ashes. After Luo Yin returned to his human form and returned to his army, he issued an order to attack the city of Mycenae.

At this time, everyone in the city of Mycenae, including Perseus, was in fear and panic because of the destruction of the Temple of Zeus.
