I Was a Priest in the City-State Era

Chapter 341: The Guardian of Athens Fights One Against Two

In the history of another world, the Thracians would migrate to the Asia Minor peninsula five hundred years later and establish the powerful Phrygian kingdom.

However, only the coastal areas of the Asia Minor Peninsula have a Mediterranean climate, and the inland plateaus have a subtropical summer-dry climate.

The Asia Minor Peninsula was obviously not suitable for nomadic people to survive, so the Thracians transformed into an agricultural people in the Asia Minor Peninsula.

For nomadic peoples, most of their food comes from grazing or hunting, so it is difficult for nomadic peoples to become the highest gods over the gods such as the earth goddess, plant god, and harvest god.

But for agricultural people, most of their food comes from the output of the earth, so the earth goddess will have the supreme status among the gods.

In the creation myth of another world, the creation goddess Gaia split herself into Gaia, the mother of the earth, Uranus, the god of the sky, and Pontos, the god of the sea.

The trinity of Gaia, the mother of the earth, Uranus, the god of the sky, and Pontos, the god of the sea——

This is the original creation goddess Gaia, and she can also be called Chaos, the god of chaos.

The earth goddess Gaia has such a lofty status in Greek mythology, of course because the Greeks are an agricultural people.

Today's Thracians are nomadic people who live by herding, fishing and hunting. Therefore, as the Thracian earth goddess, Cybele's power and divine power are far from comparable to that of Mnemosyne, who is also the earth goddess. .

After seeing the goddess battle between Mnemosyne and Cybele begin, Cybele was completely suppressed by Mnemosyne. Heros, the harvest god of the Zelas tribe, immediately spoke to Helios.

"Your Majesty Helios, I am going to help the goddess Cybele."

After saying this, Heros rushed towards Mnemosyne with a wooden harvest scepter.

Because Helios did not object, he agreed with Helios to help Cybler.

In the history of another world, after the Thracians transformed into a farming people, not only the earth goddess Cybele was worshiped as the great goddess by the Thracians in Asia Minor, but Heros was also worshiped as a high-status goddess in the Thracian region. Lord God.

Heros is not only the horse-riding god of war, but also the god of plants, harvests and the underworld. The ram's horn symbol that symbolizes him is even engraved on coins by the Thracians to pray for harvest - this shows the status of Heros.

But that was all after thousands of years, when the Thracians transformed from a nomadic people into an agricultural people.

Now that the Thracians were still a nomadic people, Heros was just the harvest god and one of the many war gods in the Thracian region.

Seeing Horos wielding the harvest stick to attack her, Mnemosyne easily fought one against two without falling into any disadvantage.

Cybler and Heros joined forces, but they were unable to suppress Mnemosyne.

Gebelezis, the sky god of the Dacian tribe, immediately said to Helios.

"Your Majesty Helios, I will also go to help the goddess Cybele."

"Do you want to disgrace us Thracian gods?"

Helios scolded angrily.

"Don't you think it's embarrassing enough that Cybler and Heros couldn't suppress Mnemosyne two-on-one?"

Hearing Helios's words, Sky God Gebelezis said in disbelief.

"Your Majesty Helios, do you think that I, Cybler and Heros, can't defeat Mnemosyne even if we fight three against one?"

Helios said nothing, apparently acquiescing to Gebelezis's guess.

At this moment, a stream of sea water fell from the sky like a torrent.

Sizzling sizzling——

Under the wash of this sea water, the fire of the sun around Helios' body was extinguished by the sea water.

Immediately afterwards, Amphitrite came to the battlefield holding a silver trident and asked Mnemosyne, who was one against two.

"Dear sister, do you need me to help you?"

"Of course not!"

Mnemosyne said as she launched a violent attack on Cybele, the earth goddess, and Heros, the harvest god.

"Do I look like I'm going to lose?"

Seeing that Mnemosyne did not need her help, Amphitrite turned to Helios and said.

"Are you my enemy?"

"etc--"

Bendis immediately came to Amphitrite and said dissatisfiedly.

"Brother Helios is the king of the gods in the Thracian region. Only I am qualified to be his opponent. As a foreign god, you should be like Mnemosyne and compete with brother Helios. The subjects fought."

Amphitrite was not angry because of Bendis' words. She looked at Bendis with worried eyes and said.

"I have no intention of stealing the spotlight from you! But I am the goddess of the ocean, and my attributes can restrain each other from the sun god. The sun god's flame can evaporate the sea water, and my sea water can also extinguish the sun god's flame. As the moon goddess You, in terms of attributes, are the same as the Sun God——"

"This is not something you should worry about. Helios is my opponent."

"I see!"

Faced with Bendis's tough attitude, Amphitrite said with a gentle smile.

"Then I will fight with Helios's subjects and help you weaken Helios' divine power."

After saying that, Amphitrite pointed her silver trident at the gods behind Helios.

"Which of you will fight me?"

Gebelezis, the sky god of the Dacian tribe, immediately rushed over and fought Amphitrite with a blue stick.

"Fight me with this backward weapon——"

Amphitrite said sympathetically while waving the silver trident to suppress Gepelezis.

"You nomadic gods are so pitiful. My fight with you is unfair."

Seeing the patron god of the Kingdom of Athens suppress the patron god of the Thracian region in a one-on-one battle, Helios's face was extremely ugly.

Zalmoxis, the god of the underworld of the Geta tribe, took the initiative to say.

"I will help Gepelezis."

Zalmoxis, the god of the underworld, is also a god of the underworld and harvest.

The Geta people who worship him will use human sacrifice ceremonies to pray to Zalmoxis to let them harvest more food.

In order to beautify this human sacrifice ceremony, the Geta people claimed that they were immortal and the dead just went to Zalmoxis.

Every four years, the Geta people would draw lots to select a person as a messenger and send him to meet Zalmoxis so that they could convey their needs to Zalmoxis through the messenger.

The specific method of dispatching is to lift the messenger and throw him into the air, and let others holding sharp spears catch him below.

If the messenger is stabbed to death by the upright spear tip when falling, it means that the messenger is accepted by Zalmoxis.

If the messenger is not dead, he will be regarded as a bad person who is not accepted by the gods, and another person will be replaced.

Zalmoxis used a shepherd's whip as a weapon to attack Amphitrite. Amphitrite used the silver trident to suppress the sky god Gepelezis with ease, and used her left hand to create a huge water snake to attack Zalmoxis, the god of the underworld.

Seeing Zalmoxis dodging the attack of the water snake in a panic, Amphitrite smiled and said.

"If it was inland far away from the sea, my strength would be seriously weakened. This battlefield is only a few dozen miles away from the Aegean Sea. I will not lose even if I fight one against three."
