In Greek mythology, Medusa is a monster.

She is a symbol of evil, a snake demon.

Legend has it that anyone who is caught by her eyes will be turned to stone.

Correction, it should be said that as long as you look into Medusa's eyes, you will be turned to stone.

In mythology, Medusa's troubles were finally defeated by a hero.

This hero is the son of Zeus - Pa-seus.

Of course, Perseus's crusade was not smooth at first, but with the help of the goddess Athena, he finally killed Medusa.

However, there are several versions in the myths woven about Medusa.

Medusa was actually not a ferocious snake succubus at the beginning, but a beautiful woman whose appearance was not inferior to that of the goddess Athena, and she was also said to be a believer of Athena.

However, this believer had a subtle relationship with Poseidon, and Poseidon did not deal with Athena, so he heard that he had sex in Athena's temple and deliberately disgusted Athena.

This move angered Athena, who cursed Medusa and turned her into a monster snake.

Of course, on the surface it looks like Athena was punishing her followers for their betrayal, but in fact it is said that Athena deliberately allowed or calculated the relationship between Medusa and Poseidon, thus having an excuse to deal with Medusa. Shah.

The reason for such a calculation is very simple, that is, the jealousy of the goddess Athena, who was jealous that Medusa was as beautiful as her.

So, why did Medusa's hair also turn into a snake?

That's because it was said that Medusa's hair was better than that of the goddess Athena, so she turned into an ugly snake.

So back to the question, is Medusa’s true identity the snake girl?

According to mythology, snakes have been closely related to the Earth Mother Goddess since ancient times.

There is a saying that the snake is the incarnation of the Earth Mother Goddess.

Of course, this statement is actually a statement that downgrades the identity of the Earth Mother Goddess.

In addition, there is another situation, that is, the goddess of this myth will be woven into an evil existence in another myth, and evil existences often have some terrifying incarnations, and snakes are one of them.

Therefore, the Medusa here should also be a goddess in this world and in ancient existence. What is its prototype?

Bai Yue couldn't figure it out with her current knowledge of mythology.

However, we can speculate from the characters related to Medusa.

First, let’s trace Medusa’s family relationships.

Medusa's father was Phorcys, and in ancient Greek mythology, her identity was the original sea god.

His mother is Ceto, who is also a sea god. One theory is that her image is half snake and half fish. So could Medusa be this sea god?

Both mother and daughter? Such a strange relationship?

Yes, but these are two different versions of a mother-daughter relationship combined. how to say?

Let’s talk about the god currently associated with Medusa—Athena.

In the more ancient Greek times, the local god of wisdom was not Athena, but Metis.

In addition, Metis in this myth has nothing to do with Zeus. This is a matrilineal pantheon of gods dominated by Metis.

Subsequently, with the migration and integration of ethnic groups, the myths weaved also changed.

The ancient myths were swallowed up by the newly woven myths. The god of wisdom in the new Greek mythology became Athena, and Metis became the mother of Athena.

Therefore, there is a saying that the prototype of Athena, the god of wisdom, was taken from Metis, and the ancient mythological stories of the prototype Metis were woven into Athena, so the past myths related to Metis disappeared.

This is actually a change brought about by the transformation of human matriarchal society into a patriarchal society. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

So, does Medusa have such a similar relationship with Ceto, the mother who gave birth to her?

But Bai Yue simply couldn't find two versions of the myth involving Medusa that were similar to the relationship between Athena and Metis in this world.

The information that can be found is that Medusa is the evil snake woman in mythology.

Of course, Medusa may have another identity in the knowledge stored in the brain of the witch in this world.

After all, in this world, some secret myths will not spread to society. Only witches know about them.[]

Moreover, it is passed down almost as if it were passed down orally, making it even more difficult for others to know the truth.

As for why we don’t want to spread some prototypes related to gods, this is the limitation of humble and weak humans on the power of gods.

Once it spreads widely, it will make this god even more powerful.

And through such division, hiding part of it is equivalent to dividing the original power, splitting it into two and three gods, and its power is divided, instead of hitting one person.

So, does Erica know?

She knew it, so she was telling him about the true identity of Medusa.

However, if you want to explain it completely through pure dictation, it will take several days to finish.

So, why not go through [Professor]?

With this ability, wouldn't Bai Yue be able to understand it immediately?

In fact, there is a disadvantage of using [teaching], that is, the knowledge gained in this way can only last for a period of time before disappearing.

This so-called transfer was not actually transferred through memory, allowing him to read Erica's memory knowledge.

This kind of [teaching], to describe it more appropriately, should describe a BUFF effect, rather than knowledge entering his brain, so the BUFF effect fails and he does not remember the relevant content.

Therefore, if you want to know, you can only truly record all the deeds of this god through your ears and eyes—through vision and hearing, and record them in your brain and memory.

However, just at the beginning of the story, they said that the other party was the Holy Trinity of Darkness, and then at this point, Luculachia asked Erica to come over and help.

A monster suspected to have broken into this world from another world was found there. Luculazia also wanted to try to understand the situation. She needed Erica to come over to attract attention and let her peek secretly.

Therefore, Bai Yue, who also heard such information, was also very surprised.

Isn't this world also being targeted by some other world? Want to be invaded?.
