I was a priest in the city-state era

On the steppes of southern Russia 3000 years ago, the ancient Aryans who worshipped the god of thunder began to migrate southward, eventually entering the Anatolian Peninsula, the Armenian Plateau and the Mesopotamian Plain.

But before the ancient Aryans entered the Anatolian Peninsula and the Armenian Plateau, they had to cross the Greater Caucasus Mountains and the Lesser Caucasus Mountains, as well as the Caucasus region between the two mountains.

The Caucasus region is located between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, covering an area of ​​about 150,000 square kilometers.

It is rich in natural resources, including manganese ore, iron, molybdenum, copper, gold, natural gas, oil, bleaching earth, chalcedony, diatomaceous earth, agate, refractory materials and clay used to make concrete, cement raw materials, lead, zinc, building stones and other resources.

In the Colchis region in the west of the Caucasus, the Rioni River irrigates fertile plains, giving it about 30,000 square kilometers of agricultural land.

In the Azerbaijan region in the east of the Caucasus, there are the Shirvan Plain and the Mugan Plain irrigated by the Kura River, where agricultural land exceeds 40,000 square kilometers.

In other words, the entire Caucasus region has more than 70,000 square kilometers of agricultural land.

In the Paleolithic Age 40,000 years ago, people already lived in the Caucasus.

When the ancient Aryans crossed the Caucasus and headed south, there lived a group that worshipped the goddess of the earth, forming an early agricultural civilization.

After the ancient Aryans who worshipped the sun god drove out the ancient Aryans who worshipped the god of thunder and became the new owner of the southern Russian steppes, the neighbors of the Caucasus region, the Caucasus region began to worship the sun goddess and the moon goddess under the influence of its northern neighbors.

Now, 1,500 years later, there are three major groups living in the Caucasus region - the group that worships the goddess of the earth Samzmari, the group that worships the goddess of the sun Mzekali, and the group that worships the god of thunder Kopala.

Around 2000 BC, the Hittites, who worshipped the sun goddess, entered the Anatolian Peninsula from this area that worshipped the sun goddess Mzekali.

So the sun goddess Alina of the Hittite Kingdom did not become a sun goddess after coming to the Anatolian Peninsula and being influenced by the earth goddess worshipped by the Hittites. Alina was a sun goddess from the beginning.

In addition to the three major ethnic groups, there are also ethnic groups that worship the wolf god Mamber and the hunting goddess Dali in the Caucasus region.

On the Armenian Plateau in the south of the Caucasus, there lived a branch of the ancient Aryans - the Armenian tribes that worshipped the sun god Areg and the moon goddess Atslik, and the Hayasaazi tribe that worshipped the thunder god Taishub and the plague god Nergal. The Colchis region in the west of the Caucasus.

In the mythology of another world, this is the place where the Greek hero Jason led the Greek heroes to seize the Golden Fleece and kidnapped the immortal goddess Medea.

Prometheus was punished by Zeus and became a prisoner in the Caucasus Mountains.

In Greek mythology, the Colchis region is the territory of the sun god Helios, so the ruler of the Colchis region is Aeetes, the son of the sun god Helios.

Mythology is a novel story similar to [Journey to the West], so mythology is certainly not the same as reality.

In reality, the Colchis region is indeed the territory of the sun god.

But the sun god worshipped here is not Helios, so the ruler of the Colchis region is not a descendant of the sun god Helios.

Perhaps this is why the sun god Helios did not interfere with Medea's tragedy in Greek mythology.

Although the sun god Helios has nothing to do with the Colchis region, Eos Circe and Selene Pasiphae Medea, who became Helios' family in mythology, are really goddesses in the Colchis region.

The prototype of Eos Circe is the sun goddess Mzekali of the Colchis region and the sun goddess Alina of the Hittite Kingdom.

The prototypes of Selene Pasiphae Medea are the moon goddess of Colchis and the moon goddess of the Hittite Kingdom.

Because their prototypes are the sun goddess and the moon goddess, they become the family of Helios in the myth.

In the myth, Circe and Medea are both goddesses who are good at using magic and potions. This is because they have seized some of the powers of Samusmare, the earth goddess of the Caucasus.

Samusmare is not only the earth goddess, but also the goddess of magic, potions and prophecy.

In Greek mythology, Medea is the priest and disciple of the goddess Hecate.

The real goddess Hecate is the earth goddess worshipped by the Arzavas in the southwest of the Anatolian Peninsula and has nothing to do with the Caucasus.

It is obvious that the myth maker who does not understand the specific situation directly regards Hecate, the earth goddess in the southwest of the Anatolian Peninsula, and Samusmare, the earth goddess in the Caucasus, as the same goddess.

The relationship between Medea and Hecate in mythology can reflect the reality that the sun goddess and moon goddess in the Colchis region did not originally have the power to control magic, potions and prophecy. They were influenced by the earth goddess Samuel and then gained the power of magic, potions and prophecy.

Colchis Plain.

Colchis tribe on the east coast of the Black Sea.

When the sun rose from the east, Roy found himself lying on the grass with his head facing east, and two ten-meter-high goddess statues came into Roy's eyes.

One of the two goddess statues held the sun wheel and the other held the moon wheel. It can be seen that one of them is the sun goddess and the other is the moon goddess.

Roy took his eyes off the two goddess statues, and a series of questions popped up in his mind.

Who am I?

Where do I come from?

Where am I going?

Just when Roy was confused, a beautiful silver-haired girl wearing a beautiful pure white dress, a golden belt around her waist, and golden strap sandals appeared beside Roy, looking down at Roy with her beautiful golden eyes full of smiles and said.

"You woke up."

"You——"

Looking at the familiar beautiful face of the silver-haired girl, Roy instantly widened his eyes and asked.

"Who are you? Who am I?"

"Don't you remember your name?"

The silver-haired girl said in surprise.

"Think about it carefully, can't you remember anything?"

Roy frowned and thought carefully, and a scene of a raging fire burning the grassland emerged in his mind.

"Phaethon [burning]..."

"Phaethon - is that your name?"

Roy just recalled the raging fire burning the grassland, and subconsciously said Phaethon.

Because in Greek, Phaethon means burning.

The silver-haired girl took Phaethon as her own name, and Roy said with a wry smile.

"I can't remember my name now, you can take Phaethon as my name. Now that you know my name, it's time to tell me your name."

"Medea!"

The silver-haired girl said with a beautiful and lovely smile.

"You can call me Medea."

"Medea -"

Roy said as he stood up from the grass.

"I think I must have seen you, do we know each other?"

Medea turned her back to Roy and said.

"We are strangers who met for the first time! If I really knew you, why would I ask your name."
