I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 355 Consider Accepting Artemis

In the history of another world, the Church of the Messiah was able to grow because the teaching of the Church was to make the common people suffer.

Because it is beneficial to the exploitation and extraction of the ruling class, the church is supported by the royal power-this is the fundamental reason why the church can eliminate polytheism.

As a wandering goddess without royal support, it is not normal for Artemis to be able to replace Althea in Calydon.

"Goddess Artemis! Although there is no royal support, you cannot use force to replace Goddess Althea. There is no large number of Acadian immigrants, so you cannot assimilate Goddess Althea. But I believe that as long as you persist, maybe After hundreds of thousands of years, you will be able to subtly replace the goddess Altea."

What Roy said sounded more like a joke.

Artemis stared at Roy with angry red eyes and said.

"I won't waste any more time. The Illyrians in the Calydon region will never abandon their own gods and regard me, a foreign god, as their patron saint."

In this era, foreign gods replaced native gods, often ruling the natives on behalf of foreign conquerors.

Without the support of force, the result will only be local gods absorbing foreign gods.

The goddesses Metis and Knight are a good example.

As a foreign god, Nate [Pallas] did not replace the patron saint of Athens, Metis [Athena], but Metis absorbed Nate to become the city of Pallas Athens.

In order to emphasize the master-slave relationship between Metis and Knight, the story of Athena killing Pallas and inheriting the name of Pallas was born in the myth.

Knight [Pallas] did not replace Metis [Athena] as a foreign god, because the Egyptians did not conquer the city of Athens, but the Greeks had a history of conquering Egypt.

The Egyptians were the objects of conquest by the Greeks, and the Greeks naturally would not willingly worship the gods of the conquered.

Feeling Artemis' anger, Roy said helplessly.

"Are you the guests who came to the wedding? If you are not the guests of the wedding, I will ask you to leave my palace."

"You bastard—is that how I annoy you?"

"Does Goddess Artemis like me very much?"

Of course Artemis would not like Roy.

After all, Roy once refused to regard Artemis as a patron saint.

Now Artemis came to Roy again because she had no choice.

During these months, the operation of Artemis to replace Althea failed completely.

Metis, Mnemosyne, and Amphitrite became more powerful goddesses as the Kingdom of Athens expanded.

This made Artemis envious of his sisters, and also dissatisfied and hated Roy.

Roy accepted Artemis at the beginning, and Artemis would definitely become a more powerful goddess than before in the process of expanding the Kingdom of Athens.

"Great King of Athens!"

Callisto suddenly knelt on the ground and begged.

"The goddess Artemis will love her people like a mother loves her children. I beg you to accept the goddess Artemis and let the goddess Artemis have a foothold in the Kingdom of Athens."

Goddess Calypso followed suit.

"West of the Great Plains of Macedonia - this land has no owner yet, you can give this land to Artemis. The Dorians living there will also use hunting to obtain food and destroy enemies. They can become Artemis the people of Sri Lanka.”

"You want me to give the western part of the Great Plains of Macedonia to the goddess Artemis—"

Roy couldn't help frowning and said.

"That's 3 square kilometers of land and more than [-] people. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's equivalent to three city-states. If I dedicate the land and people there to the goddess Artemis, what good will it do me? "

"I will marry you Calypso and Callisto."

Seeing that Roy was still expressionless, Artemis gritted his teeth and said.

"If you can become a god in the future - I will marry myself to you."

"Another promise that cannot be kept immediately."

Roy shook his head and said.

"Goddess Artemis, if I can't become a god in the future, then you don't need to marry me. Even if I become a hero god who can be a god after death, how can I marry you as a husband and wife with only a soul but no body? ?”

"That's your problem!"

Artemis said through gritted teeth.

"I've already said that I want to marry you, what else do you want me to do?"

"I said let you marry me now—you certainly wouldn't accept it."

Lois pondered.

"Goddess Artemis! If I accept you, what blessings can you give me?"

"I can make you a sharpshooter with every shot, and I can also make you run as fast as the wind."

"The perfect archery and the wind-like running speed—"

Roy said with a hesitant expression.

"Goddess Artemis, I have to seriously consider whether to accept you or not. You can stay in the guest room of the palace as guests!"

Apart from the Royal Palace of Athens, the most luxurious residence in Athens is the villa built by Roy for his cheap father-in-law Pandion.

In the past, only the mother-in-law Zeuxiper lived here alone, but now not only Pandion, Danae, Erechtheus, but even Perseus want to live here.

Villa lobby.

When Perseus walked into the hall, Danae immediately jumped over happily and hugged Perseus and said.

"My child! My Perseus, I see you at last."

"Dear mother, how have you been during this time?"

"I'm fine, Pandion dotes on me like your father."

After the mother and child separated, Danae lowered her head in shame and said.

"Perseus, I have a child now."

"It's a good thing that my mother and stepfather have my younger brother or sister!"

Perseus looked at Danae's abdomen and said.

"The birth of a younger brother or younger sister will make me and my stepfather's family a real family."

After finishing speaking, Perseus took the initiative to drag Danae to Pandion and said.

"Dear father, do you accept my son?"

"Perseus—"

Perseus took the initiative to recognize his father, and Pandion stood up happily and said.

"You are the son of Danae, and you are my son. How could I not accept you! From now on, I will be your father, and Erechtheus, Procne, and Philomela will be your younger brothers and sisters. "

Seeing Pandion, Danae, and Perseus standing together like a family of three, Erechtheus said dissatisfied.

"Father, are you confused? People are willing to call you father because the Kingdom of Athens can easily eliminate the Mycenaeans and change his status from a noble prince to a humble commoner."

Of course Pandion was not foolish, he knew that Perseus took the initiative to recognize his father in order to take advantage of him.

But he really loves the house and the bird.

For the sake of Danae and the child in her womb, Pandion did not mind being used by Perseus.

"Perseus, you don't have to pay attention to what Erechtheus said. As long as I am the head of the family, Erechtheus will recognize you as an elder brother. After Roy marries my daughter, he will also recognize you as an elder brother." Uncle."

Hearing Pandion's words, the smile on Perseus' face became brighter.

I have to say that this father did not recognize him in vain.

Seeing that her husband regarded Danae and Perseus as family members, Zeuxiper sighed helplessly.
