Chapter 79 I, Eros, may not be invincible in the world
There are particularly many creation gods in this area of Greece.
There was what Eros had already seen before, the river around the world, Oceanus.
There was also the creation goddess Eurynome who became the daughter of Oceanus, one of the seven wives of Zeus, and controlled the dragon and snake Ophion.
Of course, more importantly, the ones who won the final victory and the right to compose the divine genealogy were the Olympus lineage.
Chaos, as the cornerstone that carries everything, gave birth to the earth Gaia out of chaos.
Then Gaia gave birth to the sky and the ocean alone, and Chaos gave birth to Night Nyx and Erebus, and the world was born.
This is also the most widely circulated version of the theogony.
And Nyx naturally has another origin.
That is the goddess of destiny and necessity named Ananke who is acting and transcending time and the world.
Born from the world egg, the first god-king was also the creation god, and his name was Phanes.
As a creator god who has both genders and is aloof from things, He also has many names.
Such as: Phanes (light), Prodognos (primordial), Metis (wisdom), Elico Pao (impulse), Pan (all)
Of course, there is another name, Eros (eros).
And Nyx, or Ananke, is the mother, wife, and daughter of Phanes at the same time.
In this version, Ananke gave birth to the world egg, and the creation god Phanes was born in the egg.
The feminine part of Phanes is also Nyx, and they gave birth to the sky Ouranos and the earth Gaia.
And Nyx, as the second generation God King, seized the power of the world.
What follows is the familiar triple patricide from Uranus to Cronos and Zeus.
It’s just that in this version, Zeus’s adoptive mother became Nyx, with the help of Nyx.
Zeus swallowed the world egg of Phanes and became the supreme and truly almighty god.
According to the version of theogony, even if Eros is really one of the original gods, it doesn't matter. After all, he has nothing to do with any god.
There is no so-called parent-child relationship between the four primitive gods, Chaos, Gaia, Tartarus and Eros.
They were just born in chaos one after another. It was not Chaos who gave birth to the other three primitive gods.
But if we follow the Orphic version, then the identity of Eros is quite famous.
If nothing else, at least the Nyx in front of her is Eros's mother, his wife and daughter.
This is too exciting for me!
Eros suddenly felt that it was good not to be a human being.
In this way, he created a great goddess who can be both a mother, a wife, and even a daughter.
“This is just a possibility.”
Seemingly sensing Eros's thoughts, Nyx shook his head slightly and spoke softly.
“Destiny has countless possibilities, but the fact that you have this name proves that you have the possibility of embarking on this path.”
Just like the emperors of later generations who made a fortune, they had to make a living for themselves. Go back to the source and find a good birth.
If Eros reaches the summit of the Supreme God in the future, he can also tamper with theogony and history.
Modify yourself into the original god king born from the world egg, the creator god Phanes.
"Is this the meaning of divinity?"
Combined with the concept of divinity of gods, Eros seemed to understand what Nyx meant.
The name itself is the embodiment of the god's divinity, just like Eros, the name of Eros, means love.
The extension of Zeus is Deus, which generally refers to the concept of "god" in Latin, similar to the English God.
This great divinity also proves that Zeus will become the great Almighty God. Looking back in this way, we understand why Hera did not allow Eros to integrate the divinity obtained from Cleos at any time.
Once that happens, maybe Eros will turn into Pallas or Perses and follow their path.
Nix nodded slightly, confirming Eros's guess.
"Yes, the name is the embodiment of divinity. Although you have not yet become a god, the name itself is precious."
"As for the three gods you have obtained Sex, I can also give you a hint.”
After thinking for a while, Nyx spoke.
"Athena, the goddess of wisdom, understands that only wisdom is useless in the face of strength. You know what to do to help her."
"The great goddess from the Near East is distressed by There is no divinity that can be integrated into this world, but you can get a lot from her."
"The last one. The movement of the stars has its own rules, and it will be one of your important puzzle pieces."
Although there are some riddles in these words, Eros basically understands them.
Athena only inherited the wisdom and guardianship of her mother Metis, and was far from the Athena Eros knew.
The divinity of Pallas in the hands of Eros happens to be a god who once had priesthoods related to war and the art of war.
And coincidentally, there is another case where Athena’s full name is Pallas Athena.
But after remembering who Pallas was, Eros felt that there was one more thing to do before exchanging this divinity with Athena.
I happen to be in the underworld and must go to Styx to have some serious fun using the divinity and identity of her husband Pallas.
The second one refers to the three-phase goddess Hecate, also known as Hecate.
Although she is not a native of Greece, her greatness is beyond doubt.
The goddess of magic and witchcraft, the great goddess who once enjoyed the sky, the earth and the sea, and was also a goddess associated with the underworld.
Her divinity and priesthood are so complex and diverse that they are not far behind Nyx.
But because she is not a local, she needs a good background to integrate into Greece.
In Eros' memory, she was sometimes the maid of the Queen of the Underworld, sometimes the daughter of Nyx, and sometimes the daughter of Zeus.
In the theogony, she is the only daughter of Perses, the god of destruction, and Asteria, the goddess of meteors.
What a coincidence, Perses is one of Cleos' children, and now the divinity is in the hands of Eros.
I’ll do it! This stupid guy, Zaclios, really made a lot of money!
Of course, we must also thank Nyx for his guidance, otherwise if we just let Eros think about it by himself, we don’t know when he will think of this.
There are many things that no one else has mentioned, and they can't even remember that there is such a thing.
As for Astraeus, the God of the Stars?
Everyone knows the twelve signs of the zodiac and their usefulness to Eros.
This time Eros was not even angry with Typhon at all.
Without brother Typhon, how could Eros get into Tartarus? How did you meet Cleos? How did you find such excellent wool?
Listen to me, thank you.
"By the way, finally, I want to give you a piece of advice."
Nyx raised two fingers towards Eros.
“You have two fixed numbers, and there is a contradiction between these two fixed numbers.”
“So you have to be careful about the other me. Anan is watching you and targeting you. .”
In this chapter, there is a lot of mythological talk, such as whether Ananke and Nyx are the same person.
There are indeed versions in which Phanes is regarded as the same as Eros, and there are also versions in which Eros is the father of Phanes.
The version of "Bird" in which Eros is the son of Nyx, but there are also versions in which Eros is the father of Nyx.
So I just mixed it up. Anyway, no matter what kind of relationship it is, it’s fun, right?
