Chapter 272 The goddess of law, who is Queen Malika?
Athena appeared calmly with the figure of another goddess.
Themis was wearing a pure white embroidered skirt, with the waistline slit sewn with gold thread, and the loose white robe could not restrain her graceful figure.
Whose sword saint is this?
Wrong? More like Queen Malika from the Junction, Eros has watched several 3D movies.
Although I had expected it, I saw this goddess with her eyes covered with black cloth and her lips as tempting as pudding.
Eros couldn't help but feel excited.
Obviously she is the embodiment of justice and justice, but the goddess Themis does not appear cold and serious.
On the contrary, every frown and smile are full of charming and seductive feelings.
The black cloth covering the eyes brings a feeling of weakness and bullying, which makes people full of both the desire to commit violence and the tenderness of pity.
I can only say who invented the blindfold play? It's so genius.
"Dear Goddess Themis, it is a great honor to meet you for the first time."
My heart is moved, but the due respect must still be shown.
Eros stood up and saluted, greeting the goddess Themis.
After all, the status of this goddess is rare and noble in Mount Olympus.
Even Hera maintained respect for Zeus's ex-wife and his love rival, and she was the only special one among the many goddesses around Zeus.
On Mount Olympus, Themis also sits next to the throne of Zeus, controlling the entire Olympus and the world for Zeus.
She is in charge of laws and rules, a symbol of order, and the successor of Gaia.
And everything in this world, even the authority of the gods, is just a manifestation of laws.
She is seen more as the enforcer of Zeus, similar to the relationship between a king and an archon.
Eros once met Mnemosyne, who was both the wife of Zeus and the aunt of Zeus, just like Themis.
But the temperaments of the two goddesses are completely different.
Mnemosyne is like an ordinary neighbor lady who will be ignored inadvertently. Only by calming down and getting along with her can you feel the charm of her aging wine.
And Themis is the kind of beauty who will never be ignored at a glance among the crowd.
Sacred and noble, but also full of a unique sense of weakness, as if the whole body exudes the meaning of "come and hit me".
Hiss. Could it be fishing law enforcement?
Out of respect for this elder goddess, Eros temporarily restrained some of his thoughts.
“I know you, the original Eros, your existence is full of variables, but also brings a new order.”
The goddess Themis’ voice is gentle, without any hint of mystery. The seriousness and earnestness during the meeting on Mount Limpis.
There has always been a widespread misunderstanding about this goddess.
It is believed that Themis blindfolded her eyes because there is no real justice and justice in this world, so she did not want to see anymore.
But their original intention was just to blindfold them, so that they would not care about the identity of the prisoner and make a more fair decision.
In ancient Greece, there was such an interesting system.
Citizen trials will not communicate or meet with the prisoners, and will only be judged by voting based on the messenger and the objective facts of the matter.
It’s just that the possibility of black-box operation was higher, so it was abandoned again.
"I have heard what Athena said about what you are discussing. It is indeed a very interesting idea."
After sitting at the table, Themis raised the still warm wine glass.
“It’s just that I still want to hear you talk about your specific ideas and measures, and how you want to do it.”
Her friendly attitude made Eros very relaxed and approachable. When it’s full, there’s no pressure.
Only Athena and Prometheus secretly complained. This attitude was completely unlike the goddess of justice who usually treated everyone in a business-like manner.
It goes without saying that no matter how bad-tempered the goddess is, her attitude will be a few percent better when dealing with Eros. Fame, charisma and background are all important factors.
Eros and Themis will talk about the construction of the sanctuary and their thoughts in detail.
In particular, we need to focus on how to occupy the moral and moral high ground.
After hearing this, Themis was thoughtful.
"You can indeed try what you said, and I don't mind providing support to you."
"But if you build a sanctuary in this city, how should the royal power be balanced with it? ?”
“The warriors who serve God are so powerful that if they are not governed and independent, the king will be useless.”
“If the royal power is allowed to override them, selfish desires will be suppressed. Justice, your original intentions are no longer pure.”
What she said is indeed a problem.
In Greek city-state politics, demigod kings usually served as the link between humans and gods.
Although the priests represent divine authority, the priests themselves have no rights and are only microphones that convey the will of the gods.
And if a sanctuary is to be established, these saints representing Athena are not microphones like priests.
Their activity will naturally affect the operation of the city of Athens itself, causing a fierce conflict between theocracy and royal power.
Hearing this, Cecrops was stunned for a moment, looked around and said.
"How about I stop being the king? Join the Holy Domain as a member and directly include Athens?"
Completely giving up royal power and ruling with divine power is indeed the solution.
But Eros didn’t think so and rejected the idea.
“No, this is not possible. Even the purest of hearts will gradually become corrupted if they are too involved in politics and power.”
“People cannot withstand the test. Living things, and always being busy dealing with political matters are not conducive to cultivating excellent saints.”
As for how to solve this problem, Eros already has a ready-made answer that can be copied.
"Then we will separate the powers. The rulers of Athens will have administrative power, but you, as the goddess of law, will formulate the laws for management."
"And the Holy Land only retains the right to execute judicial trials, how about this?"
The classic separation of powers. Although this method has many disadvantages, that is because all parties will fight with each other. leading to friction and power struggles.
But there is no such problem in Greece. As goddesses, Themis and Athena undoubtedly have the highest right of interpretation.
God's warriors are the second echelon who rely on violence to maintain stability.
On the contrary, the king has only become a tool of management, a being at the bottom of power.
And due to the power gap among these three layers, it is difficult to cause friction.
Furthermore, what Ceclopus said, as a king, she also joined the sanctuary, which can also be used as a part of the neutralization method.
"In this case, even if the king makes a mistake, will he still be punished according to the law?"
There was a look of interest on Themis' charming face.
“Of course.”
Eros replied without thinking, and he was ready to say something else.
Now that we’ve figured this out, it’s better to continue accelerating.
Just step on the accelerator without braking.
Among Sensing Huan’s works, Malika’s is the most touching.
There is obviously no special element, just ordinary blond hair, why does it feel so good?
