I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 490 Arzava Goddess Hecate

The leaders of the rebel army, including the governor of Adana, launched the rebellion in order to live a better life, not to die with their families.

Therefore, under the threat of Roy, the leaders of the rebel army finally chose to give up their power and become big businessmen under Roy's arrangement.

The leaders of these rebels were willing to surrender to Roy, not only because they knew they could not defeat Roy, but also because the policies of the Athenian Empire favored low-level civilians.

After the city of Adana was truly incorporated into the territory of the Athens Empire, Roy led an army of [-] to Tulsa, another large city-state in the Kizuvatna area.

The leaders of the rebel army in Tulsa also succumbed to the threat of Roy and surrendered their power.

After Roy led an army of [-] to take over the city of Tulsa, he implemented the policies of the Athens Empire here.

1599 BC.

late April.

The policy of the Athens Empire was implemented throughout the Kizuvatna area, and Roy returned to the city of Adana alone, and took Nefertiti back to the city of Athens on an Athens warship.

three days later.

The Athenian warship on which Roy and Nefertiti took passed through the waters between the island of Cyprus and the Kizuvatna area and entered the waters south of the Antalya Plain.

The Antalya Plain is the most beautiful region of the Asia Minor peninsula.

It is located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, surrounded by countless mountains, with the beautiful Konyaat Beach in the east, the endless Lala Beach in the west, the clear Mediterranean Sea in the south, and the lush Taurus Mountains in the north.

The port city of Paalha on the Antalya Plain is one of the important trading ports on the northern coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

Now the Antalya Plain is ruled by the Arzavas who worship the goddess, and the west of the Antalya Plain is the Lydia region.

In the history of another world, the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Arzawa were originally Arzawa.

From the Mycenaean era—before 1600 BC, the branch groups of the Aryans began to migrate here, giving the Kingdom of Arzava a new group.

In the mythology of another world, Bellerophon is the Mycenaean hero who migrated to the Kingdom of Arzava.

In the hero myth of Bellerophon, Bellerophon came to the Lydia region. Although the local king Iobates accepted him, he also arranged many difficult tasks for him.

Bellerophon's first mission was against Chimera, son of Typhon and Echidna.

The prototype of Echidna is actually Istanus, the patron saint of the Kizuvatna area.

Echidna's son was the Cilician guarded by Istanus.

Bellerophon's first mission was to help the Arzawas against the Cilicians in the Kizuvatna region.

Bellerophon's second task was to deal with the savage Solumerians.

The prototype of the Solumo people may be the Palek people in the northern part of the Kingdom of Arzawa.

Bellerophon's third mission was to deal with the Amazons.

The Amazon kingdom ruled by queens in Greek mythology is actually the Hittite kingdom that worshiped the goddess.

The Amazons in Greek mythology lived on the Asia Minor peninsula. Their territory reached the south coast of the Black Sea in the north and bordered on the Lydia region in the south.

In actual history, only the Hittite Kingdom in the Asia Minor Peninsula fits the setting of the Amazon Kingdom.

Although the Paleks fit the setting of the Amazons, the Apollo worshiped by the Paleks is a male god, and there is no historical record of a princess inheriting the throne.

The Hittite kingdom not only worshiped the goddess, but also had many historical records of princesses and her husbands inheriting the throne.

When Roy's warship passed by the southern waters of the Lydia region, he stood on the deck and looked north at the territory of the Kingdom of Arzava. Roy was full of curiosity about the guardian goddess of the Kingdom of Arzava.

The territory of the Kingdom of Arzava mainly includes the Antalya region, the Lydia region, the Caria region, and the Ionian region.

In the history and mythology of another world, there is no clear record of the guardian goddess of the Kingdom of Arzava.

But Hecate, the goddess of Greek mythology, is thought to have probably originated in the Caria region.

In Greek mythology, Hecate was the daughter of Asteria, the goddess of meteors.

The name Rhea may be a word related to mother.

Interpreting the name Asteria separately, Rhea's [mother] Aster——the name Aster is obviously derived from the name of Istanus.

In other words, Hecate is also a branch of the ancient earth goddess.

Perhaps just as Metis and Athena are both the names of Metis Athena, in mythology, these two names are arranged as a mother-daughter relationship.

The names Hecate and Asteria were originally the names of the same goddess.

In Greek mythology, Hecate was regarded as the most respected goddess of Zeus.

Zeus gave Hecate a costly gift to share the earth and the barren sea.

She was honored also in the star-studded sky, and was greatly revered by the Immortal Gods.

She is both the goddess of the earth, the goddess of the sky, and the goddess of the sea, which is the trinity of Hecate.

In Greek mythology, there are only two goddesses who did not leave myths like the transparent man, nor became the wife or daughter of Zeus, but were greatly respected by Zeus.

The first goddess was Hestia, the eldest sister of Zeus in mythology.

The second goddess is the goddess Hecate.

As the eldest sister of Zeus, Hestia is revered as the oldest and most sacred goddess of Olympus, and the chief of all goddesses.

Hestia will be respected by Zeus because when the Mycenaeans brought Zeus to migrate to the Argos area guarded by Hestia, the Argos guarded by Hestia accepted Mycenae It gave the Mycenaeans a chance to conquer the Argos and Zeus a chance to usurp the territory and authority of Hestia.

Zeus gave Hecate great respect, apparently because the Arzavans guarded by Hecate accepted the Mycenaean immigrants brought by Bellerophon.

The Argives guarded by Hestia accepted the Mycenaeans guarded by Zeus—

The Arzavas guarded by Hecate also accepted the Mycenaeans guarded by Zeus—

This is why Hestia and Hecate, like transparent people in mythology, did not leave any mythological stories, but they were respected by Zeus the most.

The Athenians, Spartans, Thebes, and Pylos fought against the Mycenaeans, and their goddesses were humiliated and belittled in mythology, and became the wife and daughter of Zeus.

"Goddess Shoska from the Kingdom of Isuva, Goddess Hecate from the Kingdom of Arzava, and Goddess Hesione from the Troy region—"

When the Athens warship sailed from the Mediterranean Sea into the Aegean Sea, Roy looked at the Asia Minor Peninsula with a bright smile and said.

"You are also a branch of the ancient goddess of the earth, and soon I will reunite you with other sisters and become the goddess of the Athens Empire."

woohoo-

With the help of the howling southeast wind, Roy's Athens warship sailed towards the city of Athens at the fastest speed like an arrow leaving the string.

The city of Athens at this time.

The Royal Opera House in Athens, which was planned by Lowy, can accommodate [-] spectators, was officially completed.
