Chapter 237 Rejecting the Goddess Artemis

Artemis could even sell Calypso, her subordinate god, to Roy, so how could she care about Callisto's feelings.

Seeing Callisto's reaction, Artemis said expressionlessly.

"Calisto, we goddesses want to remain unmarried for life because we are gods with eternal life and do not need offspring as the continuation of our lives. But you are only a human being, so you do not need to imitate me and remain unmarried for life. "

"I see……"

Callisto looked at Roy with sadness and said.

"King of Athens, as long as you are willing to regard the goddess Artemis as the patron saint of Athens, I will break my vow of never marrying for you."

Roy shook his head without hesitation and said.

"Goddess Artemis, even if you marry Goddess Calypso and Princess Callisto to me, I will not change my mind. I have just said that I will only consider letting you marry me. Became the patron saint of the Kingdom of Athens.”

"You guy-"

Artemis looked at Roy with angry eyes, her expression wavering.

If the Kingdom of Athens was just an ordinary large city-state, Artemis would definitely reject Roy without hesitation.

But the Kingdom of Athens was not only a very large city-state, but was also transforming into a centralized kingdom.

Now that Artemis has become the patron goddess of Athens, she will become the queen of the gods who rules over the gods of Athens in the future.

It was precisely in order to become the Queen of the Gods in the Kingdom of Athens that Artemis would not hesitate to use her subordinate god Calypso and the virgin Callisto as bargaining chips in exchange for Roy's support.

After hesitating for a moment, Artemis finally gave up the idea of ​​marrying Roy herself.

Even if Roy could make her the Queen of the Gods in the Kingdom of Athens, she didn't want to break her sacred vow of never marrying for Roy and marry a human man.

"Human! I will never marry you, you should be content with Calypso and Callisto!"

Hearing Artemis' words, Roy couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Artemis is unwilling to let go of her pride as a goddess. It seems that she has not been severely beaten by reality and does not regard herself as a wandering goddess in desolation.

Perhaps in five or even ten years, Artemis will regret the decision she made today when she finds that she cannot ascend the throne of the patron saint again.

Hestia, who is also a wandering god like Artemis, is willing to put aside her pride as a goddess and become half-siblings with Roy because Hestia has experienced the deepest despair and knows that Roy is How hard-earned it was for her to provide help in times of need.

"Goddess Artemis, since we cannot meet each other's requirements, you should go elsewhere to seek opportunities to become the patron saint again!"

After saying this, Roy turned around and left without hesitation.

Looking at Roy's leaving figure, Artemis gritted her teeth and said angrily.

"Stupid human! You would rather guard a weak new god than choose the powerful Artemis. You will definitely regret it."

"Mighty Artemis—"

Roy stopped, turned around, and teased with a joking smile.

"Since the goddess Artemis is so powerful, why did you lose your territory to Zeus and become a wandering god? Although the goddess Metis is a new god, our city of Athens defeated Metis under the protection of the goddess Metis. Cinnaean people, let the Mycenaeans not dare to be ambitious about the city of Athens. Goddess Artemis! Since Zeus defeated you, and the goddess Metis defeated Zeus, normal people can conclude that the goddess Metis is better than you. A more powerful conclusion!"

After saying that, Roy turned around and returned to the palace.

"Loy, King of Athens——"

Being shamelessly humiliated by Roy, Artemis's eyes burned with angry flames, and her body experienced strong fluctuations in divine power.

"Owner!"

Calypso reassured Artemis.

"If you turn back into a god now, it will only cause the goddess Metis to expel you as an invader. We will not be able to take revenge on King Loy of Athens."

"I know—of course I know!"

Artemis suppressed her anger and said excitedly.

"If I could take revenge on mankind, I would have killed Acrisios, the king of Mycenae, when I lost my identity as the patron saint of Arcadia. But I know that Zeus will protect Acrisios, I will only be attacked and humiliated by Zeus if I seek revenge on Acrisios."

Callisto said with a complicated expression.

"Goddess Artemis, now that we have been rejected by King Loy of Athens, where should we go to seek your opportunity to become the patron saint again? To the west of the Corinth region is the mountainous Ahai region, and to the west of the Thebes region It’s the mountainous Calydon region. The people in these two mountainous areas live a life of herding and hunting like us Acadians. Maybe they can accept the goddess Artemis.”

After hearing Callisto's words, Artemis looked to the northwest and said.

"The Ahai region is surrounded by the Argos region and the Arcadia region, and will definitely become the target of conquest by the Mycenaeans in the future. The Calydon region is far away from the Mycenaeans, and maybe it can become my new territory. "

Calypso couldn't help but said.

"Artemis, there is already a patron saint named Artea in the Calydon region. Although the goddess Artea is not as good as you in the past, you are now a wandering god. Even with my help, it is difficult for us to defeat the goddess Artea who has the patron saint's throne. Perhaps we need to develop believers for decades or even hundreds of years before you have the opportunity to replace the goddess Artea."

"Calypso, do you also underestimate my ability?"

Artemis glared at Calypso angrily, and then said with a firm expression.

"It won't be long before I can regain the patron saint's throne."

In the mythology of another world, Artemis never regained the patron saint's throne after losing her status as the patron saint.

It was not until hundreds of years later when the Dorians invaded and the exchanges between the Greeks and the northern nomadic Thracians deepened that Artemis got the opportunity to rise again.

The resurgence of Artemis has nothing to do with her own ability, but because the Greeks wanted to replace the gods of other places with local gods.

The Greeks initially just wanted Artemis to replace Bendis, the goddess of the moon and hunting worshiped by the Thracians.

In the Thracian region, Bendis, the goddess of the moon and hunting, was the sister of Helios, the god of the sun.

Later, because the Greeks wanted Apollo to replace Helios, the god of the sun, Artemis and Apollo became brother and sister gods.

The resurgence of Artemis first relied on being confused with Bendis to become the goddess of the moon, and then became a brother and sister with Apollo.

After the Dorians invaded, the Mycenaeans had become slaves of the Dorians. Zeus, the patron god of the Mycenaeans, naturally no longer had real authority, but only fabricated authority in mythology.

Athena, the patron god of Athens, and Apollo in Asia Minor became great gods whose real authority exceeded Zeus.

The gods who rose by being a parasite of Apollo were not only Artemis, but also Dionysus, the god of wine who took the initiative to be Apollo's brother.
