I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 91 Zeus Also Asked to Marry Metis

After all, Perseus was only the grandson of King Acrisius of Mycenae.

Although he has the right to inherit the throne of Mycenae, normally speaking, the throne of Mycenae cannot be inherited by Perseus at all.

The only way for Perseus to inherit the Mycenae throne is to forcibly seize the Mycenae throne by force.

Pandion was willing to marry Procne to Perseus not only because the Mycenaeans were powerful, but also because Perseus himself had great potential.

But Perseus only wanted the eldest princess of the Athenian tribe to be his concubine.

After listening to Perseus' words, Zeuxippo, Erechtheus, and Philomela glared at Perseus angrily, and tears glistened in Procne's eyes.

It is undoubtedly a huge humiliation for Procne that the husband candidate that Pandion is optimistic about wants to marry himself as a concubine.

Pandion's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he stared at Perseus.

Before Pandion could speak, Erechtheus shouted angrily.

"Mycenaeans! Do you think we are begging to form an alliance with you and to marry my sister to you? If you want to marry Andromeda, go and propose to her. My sister will never marry you."

Perseus said calmly.

"Actually, I haven't finished my words. Not only will Princess Procne become my concubine, the goddess Metis who protects the Athenian tribe, but she will also become the concubine of Zeus, our great patron saint of the Mycenaeans."

Bang Bang!
Roy swung his right palm angrily and slapped it on the stone table.

Procne looked at Roy with delighted eyes, as if a person who fell into the water saw a life-saving straw.

Unbeknownst to Procne, Roy reacted so angrily because Perseus wanted Metis to marry Zeus.

Pandion said with a sneer.

"Prince Perseus! You Mycenaeans want the goddess Metis, who protects the Athenians, to become the concubine of your Mycenaean god Zeus. It seems that you Mycenaeans do not want to ally with us Athenians, Instead, you want us Athenians to submit to you Mycenaeans and become your Mycenaean vassals. It is precisely because you treat us Athenians as vassals that you want my daughter to be your concubine."

As the patron saint of the Athenian tribe, the goddess Metis is the symbol of the Athenian tribe, more representative of the Athenian tribe than the leader.

The goddess Metis of the Athenians became the concubine of Zeus, the god of the Mycenaeans, which not only represented the surrender of Metis to Zeus, but also the surrender of the Athenians to the Mycenaeans.

Perseus looked at Pandion without fear and said.

"Great Pandion! The goddess Metis became the concubine wife of our god Zeus, which symbolizes that the Athenians and our Mycenaeans have become a family. Perhaps you see this relationship as the Athenians becoming a vassal of the Mycenaeans , but we Mycenaeans sincerely regard you as allies."

"Perseus! No matter how powerful you Mycenaeans are, I will not accept this kind of humiliation. I will not marry my daughter to you, and I will not let the goddess Metis become your god." Only the side chamber of Zeus."

Seeing Pandion's repressed anger and firm expression, Perseus said with a smile.

"Chief Pandion, maybe you have misunderstood my words. We Mycenaeans do not mean to humiliate the Athenians, so we will not force the goddess Metis to marry the great Zeus. In our Mycenaeans claim that the goddess Metis As the concubine wife of Zeus, as long as you people of Athens don’t publicly deny it, you can meet our request. If you don’t want Princess Procne to be a concubine, I can also give up proposing to Princess Procne.”

Perseus was willing to give up the marriage proposal——

Roy frowned.

"Perseus! It seems that the bottom line of your Mycenaeans is that the goddess Metis has become Zeus's concubine. When you Mycenaeans claim that the goddess Metis is Zeus's concubine, as long as we Athenians acquiesce, we will can be an ally of the Mycenaeans."

"That's right!"

Perseus nodded.

"Compared to my proposal to Princess Procne, the marriage of Goddess Metis to the great Zeus will allow us Mycenaeans and Athenians to build mutual trust."

After listening to what Perseus said, Roy said with a sneer.

"Perseus, there is actually one thing that I have always wondered about. You Mycenaeans were originally a Phoenician nomadic group that ruled northern Egypt. After the southern Egyptians began to rebel against the rule of you foreign conquerors, , you Mycenaeans originally migrated to Crete under the leadership of King Acrisios of Mycenae. But ten years ago, King Acrisius of Mycenae brought Mycenae People migrated from Crete to the Argos region of the Peloponnese. I originally thought that you Mycenaeans left Crete because of the eruption of the volcano Thera on the west side of Crete , making you feel unsafe to live in Crete. Now I understand that you arrogant Mycenaeans must have claimed in Crete that the goddess Europa of Knossos was the concubine wife of Zeus, So Minos, king of Knossos, expelled you Mycenaeans."

Perseus did not deny Roy's words, but said calmly.

"Goddess Europa was originally the concubine wife of Zeus. It was precisely because King Minos was the son of Zeus and Goddess Europa that King Minos was able to rule Knossos, the most powerful city-state in Crete."

"Pfft haha-"

Roy couldn't help laughing.

"You are indeed a Mycenaean who likes to deceive yourself! In the future, you Mycenaeans will fabricate myths about Zeus. I am afraid that you will not only fabricate the story that the goddess Europa is the concubine wife of Zeus, and King Minos is the son of Zeus. Because Mino King Minos expelled you Mycenaeans, you will surely make up stories to humiliate King Minos, saying that he is a minotaur who lives in a labyrinth, born of the previous queen of Knossos and a white bull Half man, half bull."

"You really know us Mycenaeans! Inventing stories about humiliating the enemy's gods and kings in your own mythology is a normal operation of fabricating myths. I have nothing to deny."

Perseus glanced at Roy in surprise, and then said to Pandion.

"Great Pandion! As long as you Athenians keep silent when we Mycenaeans declare the goddess Metis to be the concubine wife of Zeus, the Athenians can become our Mycenae Allies of people [vassals]. If you Athenians reject the goodwill of our Mycenaeans, then you Athenians will become enemies of our Mycenaeans. For the future of Athenians, I believe you will make the right choice .”

Before Pandion could speak, Roy said angrily.

"Do you think we Athenians are your self-deceiving Mycenaeans? We acquiesce to the goddess Metis as the concubine wife of Zeus, which is tantamount to admitting that the goddess Metis is the concubine wife of Zeus. As the priest of the goddess Metis, I No human or god is allowed to blaspheme the goddess Metis, so we will not accept your request from Mycenaeans."
