The Greece Antagonist

Luo En pondered for a moment before expressing his views with careful seriousness.

"First are Themis and Astraea, the mentor and student pair. Although they have already completed the Codex, there will undoubtedly be various issues during its execution. You can use this excuse to retain them, hoping they will take up the position of executive judges to oversee the practice of the laws and observe their effects. Given the responsible nature of the two Goddesses of Justice, they should not refuse.

In the actual execution process, you can model it after the operating mode of the three Judges of the Netherworld, forming the Court of Judgment on War God Mountain with you and the two consecutive generations of the Goddesses of Justice. The action-oriented Astraea will be responsible for capturing criminals, the experienced Themis for conducting trials, and you, with your wisdom, for the final judgments and reviews.

If you encounter cases with significant disagreements, you can vote collectively and proceed with the final judgment according to procedure.

Of course, the most important task of the Court of Judgment is not to handle ordinary trivial cases.

Mortals, or common demigods who break the law, can be judged by King Aegeus of Athens himself, as it is within the scope of his responsibilities and duties; cases that involve deities, however, need to be resolved by the Court, with the fair trial of the three Goddesses.

In this way, what belongs to the gods will be for the gods, and what belongs to humans will be for humans. This not only saves face for the gods but also effectively practices justice, should greatly reduce the resistance in implementing the Codex, and builds a virtuous social order for Athens."

Excellent idea!

Athena nodded subconsciously, her eyes lighting up.

"Next are the Goddess of Memory Mnemosyne and the Nine Muses, her daughters, who could be invited to be guest professors or honorary professors at the Academy of Athens, mainly responsible for compiling and organizing textbooks on subjects such as poetry, medicine, history, rhetoric, philosophy, and so on. These tasks are easy for them, not only allowing them to spend their leisure time but also binding them to War God Mountain for a long time, and on this foundation, to enlighten the populace and bring cultural prosperity to Athens."

Not bad!

Athena gave an approving internal assessment and continued to nod.

"Then there are the Three Graces. Currently under the command of Lady Hestia, it is too wasteful for them to simply indulge in their own small circle. You can combine the culture of dining with the promotion of festivals and entertainment related to the Athenian deities, such as the Feast of the God of Stove, the Festival of the God of Wine, the Festival of the Goddess of Victory, the Olympic Games led by Athens, and so on, thereby expanding your divine authority and Hestia's, thus gaining more strength through worship.

With the right promotion, you could even extend the concepts of divine authority associated with festivals, banquets, and pleasure in tangible ways to the surrounding city-states, attracting more people to join or follow. In doing so, combining the 'entertainment' attribute of Lady Hestia and the Three Graces with the 'cultural' attribute of the Goddess of Memory and the Nine Muses just might shape Athens into the center of entertainment and culture."

Athena frowned slightly, "How is that useful?"

Luo En smiled enigmatically with a profound reminder, "Don't underestimate them; these might just be the sharpest weapons in the world.

The situation on Crete has proven that merely enhancing oneself is never enough to contend with the Pantheon of Gods; that path leads nowhere.

Conquest isn't limited to war and brute force.

Civilization is a bloodless knife, silently altering everything around it, moisturizing things quietly.

As long as we wield this weapon properly, we can mark Athenian culture on all lands with the guise of 'culture,' 'festivities,' and 'entertainment,' transform all city-states into followers of Athens, and assimilate all humankind into – Athenians!

At that time, the glory of Athens will be the glory of Greece!

Unless the Divine King of Olympus dares to stir up a new apocalyptic calamity, cleansing all humanity, you will stand invincible!"

As Luo En's resonant depiction reverberated in Athena's ears, a grand blueprint seemed to unfold before the eyes of the Goddess of Wisdom, rendering her no longer able to maintain a composed and calm expression.

The practice of jurisprudence builds a stable social order;

The prosperity of culture turns Athens into a Holy Land of intellectual convergence, attracting countless gazes;

The assimilation through festivals and entertainment, moisturizing things quietly, brings the ultimate victory of civilization!

These are not three separate things but a comprehensive system that progresses step by step!

Furthermore, based on the repeated simulations in her mind.

The plan seems feasible.

Brilliant, truly brilliant!

Watching the once-composed Goddess of Wisdom now animated in front of him, Luo En's face showed a hint of ill-intended satisfaction.

Coming from a future era of information explosion, he was well aware of the weight of "entertainment" and "culture," and he knew all the more how infusing some private agenda into festivals and entertainment and continuously propagating its influence could affect the entire Greek civilization.

According to incomplete statistics, the Ancient Greeks celebrated over 300 festivals related to their deities, during which people would offer sacrifices and hold celebrations. Among these, the Festival of the God of Wine, the Festival of Artemis, and the Festival of Hermes, etc., were quite famous. In the renowned city-state of Athens, the number of festive days in a year reached over 140, indicating the Ancient Greeks' fervor for festivals.

With so many festivals and entertainments, it would be too much to focus on them all, and missing one or two should probably be considered normal, right?
