I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 534 Goddesses Hecate and Dione

In 1600 BC, the world's population was only about 3500 million.

There is no doubt that this is an era of fewer people and more land.

Therefore, the Arzawas not only did not object to the migration of Bellerophon and the Mycenaeans who followed him to the Lydia area, but even welcomed it somewhat.

Because in their view, as long as the Mycenaeans led by Bellerophon are assimilated, the strength of the Arzawas can be enhanced.

It was also during this era that Teucros led his followers to migrate to Mysia in the Troy area. Because he abandoned the patron saint worshiped in the past, he enshrined Smintheus Apollo, the god worshiped by the local Paleks, as the new patron saint, which integrated well with the local ethnic groups.

But in this era, not all ethnic groups are willing to integrate with the locals, or even be assimilated by the locals.

The ancient Aryans who migrated to the Asia Minor peninsula before 3000 BC not only refused to integrate with the local people, but also regarded themselves as wolves on the grassland, and regarded the local farming peoples as sheep, and believed that the local ethnic groups should be conquered or even enslaved by them.

Any local group would not welcome such a foreign group.

As the spiritual totem of the ancient Aryans, the God of Thunder is undoubtedly their symbol.

If Bellerophon had first told the truth that their patron saint was Zeus, the god of thunder, the Arzavans would have recognized them as barbarians—descendants of ancient Aryans who had a bloody feud with the Earth-worshiping peoples.

It is perfectly understandable that Bellerophon lied to survive and disguised Zeus as a goddess.

But this is clearly a deception to the people of Arzawa.

Apasa City.

royal palace.

Iobates had an extremely angry expression on his face.

At this time, compared with the fact that Bellerophon and his followers worshiped the god of thunder, what Iobates could not bear was Bellerophon's deception and fooling him.

"These barbaric and shameless nomads are indeed born with a bad character of lying, stealing, and robbing."

Iobates said through gritted teeth.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor of Athens, I would like to make a request to you. As long as you help me eliminate Bellerophon and his followers, I will marry my daughter Philonoe to you and make the Arzava region the territory of the Athenian Empire."

"can!"

Roy said with a smile.

"In fact, even if you don't make this request to me, I will destroy Bellerophon and his followers. Because worshiping Zeus-is their unforgivable original sin."

The day after the agreement with Iobates.

Roy's large fleet left the port of Apasa City in a mighty manner and headed for the Lydia region.

Roy himself did not go with the fleet, but went alone to Mount Supyros in the Lydia region.

In the mythology of another world, Dione is the goddess of Mount Hypyros.

In other words, Dione, mother of Zeus, as the goddess of Lydia, lived on Mount Supyros.

Roy came to the mountains of Lydia with great speed, and soon found the Temple of Dione on the top of Mount Supyros.

Walking into the Temple of Dione, Roy was surprised to see two goddesses working hard in the Temple of Dione.

Kneeling beside two wonderful looms, these two goddesses are weaving from purple thread the beautiful robes worn by the gods.

One of them is a black-haired and black-eyed goddess, with a face and figure very similar to Aphrodite and Istanus, who was split from the ancient earth goddess-Hecate, the earth goddess of the Arzawas.

The other goddess is the goddess Dione with blonde hair and blue eyes. Although she wears the robes and accessories of the goddess, her tall figure and strong arms make her look unattractive.

When Roy observed the two goddesses, the two goddesses also saw Roy.

"who are you?"

Hecate asked curiously.

"Being able to set foot on a peak that humans cannot reach, you must be a god disguised as a human being! What is your purpose in coming to the temple of my sister Dione? Is it because you want to pursue the beautiful goddess Dione?"

vomit - vomit - vomit -

Hearing Hecate's words, Roy couldn't help but vomit immediately.

It's okay for Hecate to regard Dione as a sister.

She actually suspected that Roy was the suitor of Zeus' mother Dione, which made Roy a little bit intolerable.

"Beautiful goddess Hecate, even if I come to pursue you, it is impossible to pursue the male god Zeus."

After responding to Hecate, Roy teased Zeus' mother Dione.

"Zeus, how long are you going to pretend to be a goddess? Could it be that you have been pretending to be a woman for a long time, and you really like the feeling of being a woman?"

Facing Roy's ruthless ridicule, Dione immediately threw away the spinning thread in her hand and stood up expressionlessly.

"You hateful Satan [devil], you have already eliminated so many clones of me, and now you want to destroy Dione [Zeus] in the Lydia region?"

"Zeus! Do you think of yourself as an innocent victim?"

Roy said with a sneer.

"During the migration of the ancient Aryans, how many local gods did you mercilessly wipe out. Your priests were complacent and made up stories about beheading the goddess of the earth for you."

With thunder brewing in Dione's eyes, she said with a playful sneer.

"You stupid human, now you have made a stupid mistake. The Lydia region is my territory, and you cannot summon the goddess of the Athenian Empire here. Don't think that you have become a hero god, and you have the strength to fight against our gods. Now I will kill you, a hateful human, and make you regret appearing in front of me alone."

Where the Athenian army is located is the territory of the Athenian Empire, and Roy can summon any goddess of the Athenian Empire to descend.

However, Roy came to the Lydia region alone, obviously unable to turn this place into the territory of the Athenian Empire, let alone summon the goddess of the Athenian Empire to descend in the Lydia region.

Seeing that Dione wanted to use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy herself, Roy said with a smile.

"I have long longed to be able to fight you personally, instead of relying on the protection of the goddess."

"You arrogant human being!"

Rumble - boom - boom

Rays of thunder burst out from Dione's body.

Under Hecate's wide-eyed disbelief, the originally heroic goddess Dione directly turned into a blond and blue-eyed male god.

"You...you...you are really a male god, you deceived me..."

"Dear Hecate, I didn't mean to lie to you."

Zeus immediately explained to Hecate.

"I came to this strange land, and in order to let you accept me, I used white lies to disguise myself as a goddess. I am very grateful to you for accepting me, so I will treat you as a sister and share with you the authority I have."

"What authority do you have?"

Roy said with a sneer.

"Is it to let your priests make up myths, make you the king of the gods in the myths, and then let Hecate share the authority with you in the myths? Poor Zeus, not everyone is willing to live in the false myths you made up like you, because false myths can never change reality."
