Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 532 Darling, I love you by cutting off your head
How could Eros not know Athena's little thoughts?
It is said that after Perseus used Medusa's head, Athena placed it on her shield.

This even gave rise to a number of conspiracy theories, saying that Athena deliberately used Perseus's affairs to increase her own armaments.

Moreover, this conspiracy theory can be connected into one line, from Medusa being cursed by Athena to being transformed into a Gorgon, and then having her head chopped off by Perseus.

It was all Athena's plan, and Medusa was just an innocent victim.

However, this conspiracy theory is far-fetched and contains many loopholes.

For example, why would Athena, who was able to create the Gorgon, need the Gorgon's head as a weapon?

For example, why didn't Athena do it herself, but had to go through such a big circle and use Perseus's help?

Eros was not very clear about the problem.

"Medusa?"

After hearing what Eros said, Athena was stunned for a moment, then she remembered.

"Oh, you mean the Gorgon sisters? How do you know the name of the youngest one?"

The look she gave Eros gradually became a little strange.

How could Eros remember this unknown goddess in such a remote area?

And Eros did indeed express her original thoughts.

But she thought of Eros's original title of prophet, and felt relieved.

"You are right. The power of the three Gorgon sisters can indeed help Perseus defeat Keto. I have indeed thought so."

"If we need external help, why bother? Can't you, me, or Minos do it?"

Eros asked, still somewhat confused.

He was also very curious about this question, why did it have to be Medusa?
It would not be a problem to cut off Eros' head, hold it in your hand, and use a true hero's eye attack on Keto to kill the enemy.

Eros wouldn't mind such a small matter, just take it back afterwards.

"Um"

Athena pondered for a moment and then waved to Eros.

"If you want to know why Medusa was chosen, I must first tell you about the relationship between the three Gorgon sisters and Keto."

"Just now you asked me how Medusa's head could affect Keto. In fact, I wonder why you asked this question."

She poured the wine from the glass onto the table, and made the outlines of several monsters for Eros to show him.

In Eros's memory, Medusa usually appears as the object of persecution by Poseidon and Athena.

She is a Gorgon, but she was once a priestess of Athena. She was forcibly possessed by Poseidon, and then cursed by Athena in the name of uncleanness, turning her into a Gorgon.

In this story, Medusa appears throughout as an innocent and persecuted character.

But in the pantheon, Medusa was just one of the many monsters born to Phorcys and Ceto. She was not persecuted by Poseidon or Athena at all. She was just a pure monster.

However, this origin is not as story-filled as the above one, so naturally it is not as widely sung and well-known.

But what Athena and Eros said was a more ancient secret. "This sea has given birth to countless lives. You also know that many gods once controlled this place."

"Pontus, the primordial sea god born of the mother goddess Gaia, Oceanus, the river of the ocean, and Eurynome holding the dragon and serpent Ophion"

Because Greece is a world that is constantly being annexed and merged, and the ocean, as the main body of the world, is naturally also a disaster area where myths are merged and swallowed up by each other.

The sea is the origin of life, and the monsters that grow and spread wildly in the sea naturally have several different origins.

Among them, the largest number were the many sea monsters born to Phorcys, the son of Pontus, and Keto.

Then, Echidna among them became the mother body chosen by Gaia to create more new monsters.

Then there are the families created by various sea gods, such as the sea giants created by Oceanus, the mermaids created by Eurynome, the sirens created by Achelous, and so on.

Even Poseidon is now adding new life to the ocean.

In this chaotic ocean, the relationship between the goddess and the sea monster is often difficult to define.

The three Gorgon sisters are just like this.

Although it is called a monster, in the god list it has been degraded to a sea monster born of Phorcys and Ceto, and is a brother and sister to a group of ugly sea monsters.

But this cannot conceal the essence of the Earth Mother Goddess beneath the shell of this monster.

The three Gorgon sisters are not snake-haired banshees, but the once glorious earth goddess. The snake represents the cycle of life and death, and symbolizes rebirth and land cultivation.

But their world had long been swallowed up by Greece, and the former goddesses had degenerated into monsters.

"You have seen the power of the divine genealogy before, so there is no need for me to explain it again."

"The essence of the three Gorgon sisters is the noble earth goddess. Their power can naturally be effective against Keto."

"As for why it was her, that was what Father God told me."

At this point, Athena's voice gradually lowered.

"The Mother Earth in the depths of darkness may have some conspiracy. In order to better deal with it, we must take action before the Primordial Mother Goddess launches an attack."

"Among the monsters of Mother Earth, there are many characters that we can win over, including the three Gorgon sisters."

It is a classic way to pull a group and beat a group. There is nothing wrong with this operation, except that.
"Are you sure that asking Perseus to chop off Medusa's head is the right way to win them over?"

This doesn't look like winning over at all, but more like suppression and deterrence.

"Of course, the two elder sisters of the Gorgon still retained their immortality as goddesses despite the degradation of their divinity, but Medusa did not."

"She was deeply affected by the degradation of her divinity, and even lost part of her immortality, becoming a monster that can be killed."

"My bargaining chip to win them over is that I will restore Medusa, restore her sanity, and allow her to exist as a goddess in the name of my incarnation."

After listening to Athena's words, Eros keenly captured the singularity in it.

"They are not the only ones who benefit, right? Medusa is your incarnation? In other words, through her, you can also obtain the essence of being a more primitive Earth Mother."

"Moreover, such a brutal method can also avoid the suspicion of Keto and the others. No one would think that cutting off Medusa's head is a covenant with the Gorgon sisters."
