In addition to the "snake", Athena also has a deep relationship with "birds".

Medusa, the goddess of the snake with evil eyes, is the best proof that Athena has a close relationship with the bird.

The three Gorgonx sisters, including Medusa, not only possess only snake hair, but they are also said to have golden wings on their backs.

The second of the three Gorgons sisters, Yuri Ellie, whose name means "one who flies far away", and the youngest sister, Medusa, is the mother of the winged Pegasus ————.

In the Mediterranean region there are ancient portraits of Medusa.

In this portrait, Medusa is shown holding a snake in both hands and a bird on her head, clearly indicating the close relationship between the "snake" and the "bird".

However, what really connects Athena to the "bird" is her identity as a god of the earth and the underworld.

Long ago, in ancient times, our ancestors believed that birds had the magical power to fly back and forth between the otherworldly and the present world.

Moreover, the soul of the deceased will take the form of a bird and fly into the sky, or be guided by a bird into the underworld.

In order to travel back and forth between the earth and the underworld, the "snake" symbolizing the earth and the "bird" symbolizing the underworld were combined to become the symbol of Athena, the goddess of the earth and the underworld.

Thus, by adding "bird" to the essence of "snake", Medusa became a winged serpent, also a "winged serpent".

The original Athena. Athena, who has not yet been spread to Greece and became the god of Greek mythology, is a snake with wings. She is the goddess of life and death worshipped by ancient people.

The serpent goddess who rules the earth and the underworld, and rules over the heavens.

No doubt. Such an Athena is the highest level of existence among the gods.

This is not a godhead that evolved casually, but the true form of Athena before it spread to Greece.

After all, the society at that time was still feminist, and it was not surprising that the mythical god-king would be the queen.

Therefore, Athena would be the god of the gods that no one could match at that time, the queen of the gods with the highest authority.

This is the real Athena, the highest of the gods.

However, the society of feminist supremacy soon came to an end. Men began to take the place of women and became the real masters of society.

In such a situation, myths begin to be tampered with.

The goddesses such as Athena were ousted from the highest throne, and the male gods who wielded force began to rebel, and the myth of a feminist society was largely dismantled by the men who ended the feminist society at that time.

The age of the queen ended, the age of the king began, and the supreme god changed from the matriarchal earth mother god to the strict father god.

Thus, starting with Zeus, the god-king was born.

Thereupon. Athena went from being the queen of the divine realm who once ruled the Mediterranean to being a down-and-out, obedient queen.

When the myth was tampered with by men, the oldest Athena and her doppelganger degenerated into the wife, sister or daughter of the god-king, losing their former glory.

Athena not only became the daughter of Zeus. Metis was humiliated by Zeus and robbed of his wisdom, and Medusa even degenerated into a monster.

And that's not all. Hera or Aphrodite in Greek mythology are all goddesses of the Earth Mother who have been tampered with like Athena, and have the same origin as Athena. The same goddess who rules over life and death.

The defeated Earth Mother Goddess is also mentioned in mythology as a "winged serpent".

———— Dragon.

An evil dragon that has appeared in countless myths and has been defeated by heroes and gods. It is the posture of the Earth Mother Goddess, who has been tampered with and defeated by the myth, who has been degraded after being degraded.

It wasn't because they were evil monsters that they were defeated, but because the victors smeared the losers as evil monsters in order to fabricate their own legitimacy, and then spread the story of their destruction of the monsters, and established such a myth.

Because of this, the "winged serpent", that is, the dragon, became a mythical monster, and the divinity of the Earth Mother God was fundamentally denied.

"Athena in Greek mythology is one of the Athena who was once the queen of the gods and gods after the myth was tampered with, and Metis, who became the wife of Zeus, is also part of the queen who ruled the Mediterranean." Liliana concluded.

"And the essence of this great queen of the gods, Medusa, who represents the "snake", has been tampered with as a banshee killed by the heroes of the Athena faction, perhaps, it is precisely because of such a conflict that the Athena will lose the essence of the "snake", right?"

"In other words, once this Athena recovers the lost "snake", then this goddess will be restored to the queen of the gods who once ruled the Mediterranean and the divine realm, the supreme god of the Trinity!" Erica concluded.

"Once the true queen is reclaimed, Athena will undoubtedly be the highest level of deity, and will definitely not be below Vereslana and Mecal!"

Hearing this qiē, Noah suddenly became enlightened.

No wonder Athena would say that she was the queen who once had a qiē and lost one.

In this way, this Athena is not as simple as the goddess of wisdom and war in Greek mythology, but the queen of the divine realm of earth, darkness and wisdom.

If you think about it, isn't the darkness that permeated Athena's body last night with a palpitating aura of death the most convincing proof that Athena is the goddess of darkness who rules Hades?

At that time, Athena lost her most essential "snake", and was deprived of her identity as the goddess of the earth as a symbol of the queen, and could only exercise the "power" of the goddess of darkness and wisdom.

That's why Noah felt that Athena at that time was not difficult to deal with at all.

However, if Athena retrieves the "snake", it will be different.

At that time, Athena will no longer be just the goddess of wisdom and war, but the queen of the kingdom of the gods.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Noah felt that one of the patterns connecting the ten avatars in his heart suddenly lit up for no reason, as if it had turned into a dry lake, and a large amount of water had been injected into it, making a part of Noah's power begin to come alive.

Noah held up one of his hands.

I saw that the hand was shining with a golden brilliance, illuminating the surrounding space brightly.

"That's?" Erica and Liliana also saw this scene clearly, and were stunned at the same time.

But Noah seemed to understand something, raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth rose.

"It seems that even if the queen really retrieves the 'snake', my 'sword' will be able to cut off this 'snake'!"

Hearing this, Erica and Liliana seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions suddenly brightened.

"Got an advantageous weapon, right?" Erica's face was back with a gorgeous smile on her face.

"It's worthy of being a king who can defeat even two of the highest-ranking gods at the same time, and if you even get that 'sword', then you may become the strongest king who is most suitable to deal with the 'God of Disobedience', and even in the future, it will not be weaker than the rest of the 'God Slayers'!"

"In this case, it will have a better chance of winning against Athena." Liliana's love became a little uplifted, but then it became a little weirder.

"However, being able to fight with the two highest-level gods in less than ten days, and to have a duel with the Italian 'King of Swords', and now that I have met the former queen of the god realm, it seems that there will be a lot of disputes around the king this time."

"That's what I need to save zài." Erica glanced at Noah and said with a smirk.

"After all, if there are too many disputes, the king doesn't have time to pay attention to worldly things, does he?"

Noah rolled his eyes.

"Wait, Erica." Liliana frowned.

"Have you forgotten my deposit?"

"Lily's words are not suitable for being the king's butler." Erica said bluntly.

"Lily is more suited to be a simple knight than a butler, isn't she?"

Liliana was speechless.

Liliana, who is too upright, is indeed not suitable for doing things that specialize in handling complicated matters like Andrei.

"It doesn't matter what you do, for me it's just a lack of guidance and a casual way to handle things." Noah sighed again, and set his eyes on the entrance to the ruins.

"Let's go and have a look, maybe the snake Athena is looking for is inside."

Erica and Liliana both nodded. (To be continued......)
