Chapter 486 (2/2)
”Trinity means that Athena has three deities, which are not inferior to the highest gods in the rank of king and Lord God.”————Snake is the essence of Athena.
Athena has always been a goddess closely related to snake.
When it comes to snakes, the first thing to think of is Medusa, who is also closely related to Athena.
Athena and medusa were originally the same goddess.
That is about Athena and medusa myth spread to Greece, become Greek mythology Athena and medusa before.
In fact, the origin of ”snake” is the ancient thing.
No, the goddess of snake.
Not only that, in Greek mythology, as Athena's mother, the goddess of wisdom - mertes, this goddess was originally Athena.
Athena was not a goddess of Greek origin, but a goddess of earth born in North Africa and worshipped by the whole Mediterranean.
At that time, Athena had many other names and images.
Medusa, Medusa, knight, yanata, yatana, yanata and ashera are all the incarnations of Athena, which can be said to be Athena's sister.
Athena is not only the goddess of the earth, but also the God of darkness who dominates the underworld, and the goddess of wisdom who masters the wisdom of heaven.
Because of these three attributes, Athena became a trinity goddess.
This is what Athena is all about.
As the God of war, it was only added to Athena's divinity with the changes of the times. It is very reasonable that the God of Hades, who manages the death, is related to the greatest disaster, that is, it has become the God of struggle.
Then, the key to the birth of Athena's Trinity is the snake.
Although animals such as cattle, sheep and pigs are also used to symbolize the harvest land, in fact, Athena's essence is ”snake”, which is the key to the oldest Earth Goddess, namely, the Earth Mother God.
Life experiences birth, growth, maturity, senescence and death. The grain of the earth also experiences four stages: growing in spring, flourishing in summer, bearing fruit in autumn and withering in winter.
Therefore, ”snake” is the real ancient symbol of the Earth Mother God.
After several times of molting, the snake, which has been hibernating and reviving, is the creature that symbolizes the cycle of death and regeneration and the migration of seasons. Compared with the cow, which symbolizes harvest and love, the ”snake” possessed by both the grace of life and the death of disaster is the real goddess of earth.
Therefore, Athena is the goddess of the earth and the snake.
But for the ancient people, it is very rare for the ancient people to have such strange and mysterious creatures as snakes.
Constantly shed the shell with molting, in winter will have a long hibernation, and then like resurrection from the dead, in spring, easily across the gap between winter and spring.
This is immortality.
Therefore, Athena is also the immortal god of the underworld. She is a God who will bring death and belongs to nature and the underworld.
This is why Athena, as the goddess of the earth, is also the God of the underworld.
Moreover, the underworld imagined by ancient people basically exists in the dark underground, which is a winter World shrouded in darkness.
Therefore, the time dominated by darkness, that is, the night, may also be a part of the underworld.
So Athena is also the goddess of darkness.
As the goddess of earth, Athena is not only the goddess of darkness who controls the underworld, but also the goddess of wisdom in charge of wisdom. Three kinds of divinities have created Athena's supremacy.
This makes Athena possess not only the essence of ”snake”, but also the quality of ”bird”.
”Bird?” Noah was stunned.
”Why is the bird involved again?”
Erica and Liliana nodded to each other, telling the true identity of Athena, the supreme goddess of the Trinity.
