I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 584: The Gods of Gaul and Britain

1597 BC.

August.

All the Germanic areas between the Rhine and Vistula rivers were included in the territory of the Athenian Empire.

It has to be admitted that the Athenian Empire was able to conquer the Germanic regions thanks to the blood feud accumulated by the native Germanic people and the Aryans for thousands of years.

The Athenian Empire came as a savior and helped the weak native Germans defeat the powerful Aryans. It had a huge debt of gratitude to the native Germans.

Coupled with the oracles sent down by the nine goddesses, the Germans naturally surrendered to the Athenian Empire.

As for the Aryans—

The defeated have no choice.

They could only abandon the Aryan gods [Aesir gods] under the arrangement of the Athenian Empire and become the new subjects of the nine Germanic goddesses.

After leaving 20,000 Athenian soldiers in the Germanic region to ensure that the policies of the Athenian Empire are smoothly promoted in the Germanic region——

Roy led 30,000 Athenian cavalry into the Gaul region west of the Rhine.

In ancient times, humans lived in Gaul.

So far, quite systematic human cultural relics from various periods from the Paleolithic Age to the Iron Age have been discovered in Gaul. There are human sculptures and animal murals about 20,000 years ago in caves in Lascaux and other places in southwestern Gaul.

The land in Gaul is fertile, with plains accounting for more than two-thirds of the total area.

When the ancient Aryans migrated westward, they naturally did not miss Gaul, which had fertile land and a warm climate.

Therefore, the Gaul region also had a war between the local Gauls and the Aryans competing for living space.

Roy entered the Gaul region non-stop because Roy knew that he could copy the pattern of the Germanic region and incorporate the Gaul region into the territory of the Athenian Empire by helping the Gauls defeat the Aryans.

Although the Alps separated the Gaul region from the Roman provinces of the Athenian Empire, the Gauls and the Roman provinces still had exchanges, so Roy was no stranger to the Gaul region.

The current Gaul region——

The fertile plains to the north were occupied by the Aryans.

The Aryans, who have worshiped male gods since ancient times, are now divided into the Nuada tribe, which worships Nuada, the god of war, the Taranis tribe, which worships Taranis, the god of thunder, and the Luge tribe, which worships the sun god Luge, who worships the god of wine. The Sucrus tribe with Sucrus, the god of the forest, the Vesucius tribe who worshiped Vesucius, the god of fauns and war, and the Cornunnos tribe who worshiped Cornunnos, the god of hunting.

The native Gauls live in the southern part of Gaul and have a goddess worship inherited from ancient times.

Komedova, Griselika, and Ofanière are considered to be a trinity - goddesses with the same origin. As the patron goddess of harvest and medicine, they are influenced by the tribes of Komedova, Griselika, Worship of the Ofanie tribe.

Due to the long-term war with the Aryans, the goddess Nimidona worshiped by the Nimidona tribe has evolved into the goddess of war. The goddess Epona worshiped by the Epona tribe has evolved into the horse god under the influence of the Aryans. and patron saint of knights.

In the history of another world, the Gaul region was also called the Celtic region, so these gods also became the main gods in the Cetel mythology.

The British Isles and Gaul are separated from each other by the sea. The narrowest point of the British Channel that separates the two places is only 34 kilometers.

So in this era, Britons and British gods often came to Gaul.

Morrigan, the goddess of war, is the most famous British goddess. She and her two sisters, Macha and Neman, are considered to be a trinity - goddesses with the same origin. The three sisters jointly control war, death, harvest and many other powers.

Their trinity is called Babokach, and the name means "the goddess of war in the form of a black crow".

Morrigan is the most famous war goddess in the group. Folks often regard Morgan Le Fay and Morrigan in the legend of King Arthur as the same character. Some legends and documents also describe Morgan Le Fay's previous life as Morrigan.

Morrigando appeared on the battlefield as a female warrior, sitting on a carriage pulled by two bright red horses, holding two spears, wearing red clothes and coat, and her eyes were shining with an unknown bright red light. .

However, most of the time, she would transform into a black crow or nighthawk and hover in the smoke-filled battlefield, terrorizing soldiers or announcing the coming of death, and often feeding on dead bodies.

As the British-Irish war goddess, Morrigan may also be the prototype of the heroine Scathach in Irish mythology.

The commander who now leads the Britons to invade Gaul is named Balor.

Because of repeated sneak attacks by the Britons, the Aryans now call Balor the Evil-Eyed Demon.

Legend has it that one of Balor's two eyes was always closed, making it impossible to see his eyeball.

Once this closed eye is opened, anyone caught in its sight, whether human or god, will die immediately.

But this closed eye is also his only weakness.

In the Norse mythology of another world, the sun god Baldr became the final winner of the Ragnarok battle because Roy did not appear.

The Aryans, guarded by the sun god Badr, also replaced the native Germanic people and became the real masters of the Germanic region.

The same goes for Gaul.

If Loy had not appeared, the sun god Luger would have led the Aryan gods to defeat the native goddesses of Gaul and the goddesses of the British Isles and become the king of the gods in Gaul and the British Isles.

Five hundred years later, when Caesar of the Holy Empire conquered Gaul, he left a record that the sun god Luger was the supreme god in Gaul.

The sun god Luger was equivalent to Jupiter, the sun god worshipped by the Romans. The Celtic tribes in Gaul generally worshiped this god.

In fact, the sun god Luger was not only equivalent to Jupiter, the sun god worshipped by the Romans, but also equivalent to Helios, the sun god worshipped by the Thracians.

The sun god Balder rose in the Ragnarok War and became the king of gods in the Germanic region.

However, when Roy incorporated the Germanic region into the territory of the Athenian Empire, the original Ragnarok War had not yet occurred, so the king of gods in the Germanic region was still Odin.

The sun god Luger rose in the war between the Aryan gods and the Gaul gods, replacing the god of war Nuada as the king of gods in the Gaul region.

When Roy came to Gaul, the war between the Aryan gods and the Gaul gods had not yet broken out.

So the sun god Luger was not yet the king of gods in Gaul.

Even the king of the gods among the Aryan gods was still the war god Nuada who came to Gaul earlier than the thunder god Tanilas and the sun god Lugu.

Thinking of the thunder god [Zeus]'s clone Thor in the Germanic region and the clone Tanilas in the Gaul region, Roy sighed with sympathy.

"In the Germanic region, Zeus's clone Thor had not yet replaced Odin as the king of the gods, and the sun god Balder came to the Germanic region as the natural enemy of the thunder god. In the Gaul region, Zeus's clone Taranis had not yet replaced the war god Nuada as the king of the gods, and the sun god Lugu came to the Gaul region as the natural enemy of the thunder god. I don't know if the thunder god [Zeus] shouted to the sun god [Helios] - Don't come over!"
