Here's an interesting thought, what if the goddess is Ishtar/Inanna, a female goddess of love, fertility/procreation, and war in ancient Babylonia/Sumeria(with Sumeria having one of, if not the, oldest written language that we have found, circa 3000 B.C.)? She was originally Inanna, and was the main goddess of Sumeria, and a very powerful(and beautiful) one at that, having the ability to kill even other gods with her death gaze.
Later on the goddess Inanna becomes Ishtar in the transition to ancient Babylonia. She has lost a lot of her power by this point, but still very beautiful, and despite being a goddess, she is considered to be nothing more than a femme fatal, with all of her lovers, even an 'immortal' god, meeting an untimely end. The religion she was a part of was killed/phased out by Christianity in somewhere between the first and fifth century A.D. So that could be the thing that spurs her to go out and find a new planet to be the main/sole goddess of, and try to make a people to worship her. If we want to go all Campione on this, then she, in both religions, is considered to be represented by the planet Venus in the sky, so you could draw some correlation there too. |

Your point? She had affairs with more than just Ares, but she was still married to the "Horrifically Ugly" Hephaestus, and in those days not doing the deed in a marriage, especially at the beginning, wouldn't have been a thing that happened. My point is that she's had relationships with people who look far worse than Makato, and her rejection of him due to being "ugly", aka, not beautiful, would be over-the-top considering that. |

Concerned with beauty, self centered, not high tier of a god, constantly causing problems (wars and deaths of those around her) etc. I mean she didn't get the title: Helen the Woman who Sunk Thousands of Ships for nothing. She also has heavy connections to Athena and Aphrodite.

Spoiler for spoiler about ryuka and the match:
Quote:
like i wrote, i tried to give a literal translation to it; but for me i believe she deserves the credit i'm giving her, mainly because if you read the entire chapter and know the opinions of her brother and hibiki, not only the princess turned the situation around with "only" one sentence, she destroyed the fears that hibiki had about makoto helping the devils, and the main hostility that was growing in Hibiki because of that. So not only she knew many inside information about the entire mental situation of hibiki at that time , something that is confirmed by her own monologue and the talk to hibiki, she choice the complete right words to keep hibiki at ease. mainly she corrected many problems that Hibiki could have cause in the future to the firm, because they have in fact a choice to accept or not makoto's help and this was in fact the reason of the entire "section" of that chapter, they are discussing if they should or not allow makoto to do business with them and that Hibiki was against it in the start of the discussion because she was believing in her mind to be wrong to accept them in the kingdom if he was also doing businesses with the devils. because she seems to have some type of mistake in which scale makoto's help would come from both sides(in hibiki's mind at the start, she was thinking of makoto as "war lord" gaining profit because of the war); the Princess already had the conclusion that makoto would not help in the war like hibiki was thinking, so she comes to the conclusion(explain-led hibiki to reach the conclusion by herself) with Hibiki and removes her fear to him explaining ; that makoto would never help in the war, but makoto is a gentle guy, and not only the kingdom but devils have vast number of territories and people, so is impossible for them to take care of "everyone", and this is where makoto enters, since he is kind he would help those villages, that are out side of the kingdoms grasp, the same as he will do to the devil, so there is no reason for "only" the devils gain this benefits from him, since he could also help those far away villages from the kingdom too, there is no reason to refuse his help, because like i have wrote before they can in fact do so, and hibiki and the prince (not the princess), was ready to do as well, if the princess (joshua) have not led hibiki to the connection that in reality there is no downside of accepting him, even if he where to help any other power, they should just do the same as them. she not only choice the right words, she led hibiki by her palm in reaching the conclusion by herself, since she knows Hibiki, and since day One Hibiki is on the "level" of genius character, so i think that i'm giving enough credit to the princess to be able to lead Hibiki like that, even if the there was other person doing the same think to her in the arc as well: Mio for example. both Mio and the princess, have not "told" hibiki what to do, but gave clues to Hibiki to reach the conclusion that both of them wanted, without she even noticing it; and this is also why i gave gudos to Mio as well, on my previous msg. Quote:
but the discussion is a lot more profound than you have point out; and the end result as well because she is not more on the lines of "don't instigate", she just wants Io's head, and after that if she can, she will join sides with him, of course if it becomes possible, because she her self comments that just like her hates IO, many devils must hate her as well, so a complete reconciliation after killing Io would be almost impossible for her: i will explain more in the summary about the discussion Spoiler for spoiler about makoto x hibiki discussion:
i will come to read it again, after taking a break to correct some grammar mistakes , it took me 1 hours to write, and check some of the facts about the discussion in the novel. Quote:
then at asora, after Lime made the report to tomoe; tomoe shiki and mio, got together and made multiples assurances against the ability ,so Chiya would not be able to "see" Mio and Makoto in their trip. before the trip Mio had a very serious discussion with tomoe, about how to handle Hibiki, the discussion was very serious that they are almost going to fight, but in the end they reached the agreement that was to Mio to take Lime with them( well lime is mainly tomoe spy, so it would be like tomoe was there). Makoto arrives at limia with Lime and MIo; since the previous discussion, Mio simple fakes to accept tomoe's conditions and have made her own moves since the start; the first one was not warn makoto about the Mind Eye's abilities, and allow chiya do not only see her true form, the black spider, but makoto form as as well; after most of the events of the trip to ryuka's lair , and after Hibiki already knowing that Mio was in fact the spider because chiya told her , Mio and Hibiki have the second talk where: she just confirm it, and explain to her; that makoto fought her 14 days after he had arrived here and fought against her alone ; and Hibiki fought them, almost one month they arrived here, this may seems fuzzy for us reader since the dates may not seems to be right; but Mio explain this as well, saying that it seems that Makoto trip to the end of the world had some type of delay of more than 10 days: so for us reader when reading that monologue at the start; the goodness simple launched "makoto" at the end of the world , but it seems that in reality more than "10" days passed in his "trip" to the end of the world at that time. this is what i could grasp about the "time frame" explanation from Mio so after that Mio recommends Hibiki to sees makoto power by her self, like i have wrote before and she request a match with him. on a side note: Spoiler for lime-makoto- mio figures by Chiya's Mind eye.:

tomoe took him in, after they meet in tsige, and have been training him in asora even before Makoto got to know that he work for them. later on as well, lime is the doing a very hard work in Asora Spoiler for very hard work indeed.:
And to end, he is one of the most trusted aides of tomoe, so his Asora's membership card already have been made ages before his talk with Mondo. Spoiler for guess about his wish::
