His name may be related to that of the sky god Dyaus of the ancient Hindu Rigveda. Zeus was regarded as the sender of thunder and lightning, rain, and winds, and his traditional weapon was the thunderbolt. He was called the father (i.e., the ruler and protector) of both gods and men.]]> 2023-05-30 11:47:56 UTC https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609043746 austriaairish71 https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609047528 Poseidon, in ancient Greek religion, god of the sea (and of water generally), earthquakes, and horses. He is distinguished from Pontus, the personification of the sea and the oldest Greek divinity of the waters. The name Poseidon means either “husband of the earth” or “lord of the earth.” He was a brother of Zeus and Hades. His weapon and main symbol was the trident, perhaps once a fish spear. ]]> 2023-05-30 11:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609047528 austriaairish71 https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609056356 Hera, in ancient Greek religion, a daughter of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, sister-wife of Zeus, and queen of the Olympian gods. Hera was worshiped throughout the Greek world and played an important part in Greek literature, appearing most frequently as the jealous and rancorous wife of Zeus and pursuing with vindictive hatred the heroines who were beloved by him. From early times Hera was believed to be the sole lawful wife of Zeus; she soon superseded Dione, who shared with him his ancient oracle at Dodona in Epirus.]]> 2023-05-30 12:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609056356 austriaairish71 https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609065681 Demeter was the Olympian goddess of agriculture, grain and bread who sustained mankind with the earth's rich bounty. She presided over the foremost of the Mystery Cults which promised its intiates the path to a blessed afterlife in the realm of Elysium. Demeter was depicted as a mature woman, often wearing a crown and bearing sheafs of wheat or a cornucopia (horn of plenty), and a torch.]]> 2023-05-30 12:14:14 UTC https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609065681 austriaairish71 https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609068783 Aphrodite, ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty, identified with Venus by the Romans. The Greek word aphros means “foam,” and Hesiod relates in his Theogony that Aphrodite was born from the white foam produced by the severed genitals of Uranus (Heaven), after his son Cronus threw them into the sea. Aphrodite was, in fact, widely worshiped as a goddess of the sea and of seafaring; she was also honored as a goddess of war, especially at Sparta, Thebes, Cyprus, and other places. However, she was known primarily as a goddess of love and fertility and even occasionally presided over marriage. Although prostitutes considered Aphrodite their patron, her public cult was generally solemn and even austere.]]> 2023-05-30 12:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609068783 austriaairish71 https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609072580 Athena, also spelled Athene, in Greek religion, the city protectress, goddess of war, handicraft, and practical reason, identified by the Romans with Minerva.  She was the daughter of Zeus, produced without a mother, so that she emerged full-grown from his forehead. There was an alternative story that Zeus swallowed Metis, the goddess of counsel, while she was pregnant with Athena, so that Athena finally emerged from Zeus. Being the favourite child of Zeus, she had great power.]]> 2023-05-30 12:21:18 UTC https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609072580 austriaairish71 https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609077799 Artemis was the Olympian goddess of hunting, the wilderness and wild animals. She was also a goddess of childbirth, and the protectress of the girl child up to the age of marriage--her twin brother Apollon was similarly the protector of the boy child. Together the two gods were also bringers of sudden death and disease--Artemis targeted women and girls, Apollon men and boys. In ancient art Artemis was usually depicted as a girl or young maiden with a hunting bow and quiver of arrows.]]> 2023-05-30 12:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609077799 austriaairish71 https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609081611 Apollo (Apollon) was the Olympian god of prophecy and oracles, music, song and poetry, archery, healing, plague and disease, and the protection of the young.

Unlike his Roman counterpart, Mars, he was never very popular, and his worship was not extensive in Greece. He represented the distasteful aspects of brutal warfare and slaughter. From at least the time of Homer—who established him as the son of the chief god, Zeus, and Hera, his consort—Ares was one of the Olympian deities; his fellow gods and even his parents, however, were not fond of him. Nonetheless, he was accompanied in battle, by his sister Eris (Strife) and his sons (by Aphrodite) Phobos and Deimos (Panic and Rout). Also associated with him were two lesser war deities: Enyalius, who is virtually identical with Ares himself, and Enyo, a female counterpart.]]> 2023-05-30 12:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609084275 austriaairish71 https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609089561 Hephaestus is the god of blacksmiths and fire. Called “the celestial artificer,” he was also associated with other craftsmen (sculptors, carpenters, metalworkers) and, as evident in the name of his Roman counterpart Vulcan, with volcanoes. Even though an ugly god lamed by his own mother, he was the husband of none other than Aphrodite herself.]]> 2023-05-30 12:38:04 UTC https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609089561 austriaairish71 https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609093472 Hermes was the Olympian god of herds and flocks, travellers and hospitality, roads and trade, thievery and cunning, heralds and diplomacy, language and writing, athletic contests and gymnasiums, astronomy and astrology. He was the herald and personal messenger of Zeus, King of the Gods, and also the guide of the dead who led souls down into the underworld.

He was depicted as either an older, bearded god or an effeminate, long-haired youth. His attributes included the thyrsos (a pine-cone tipped staff), a drinking cup and a crown of ivy. He was usually accompanied by a troop of Satyrs and Mainades (wild female devotees).]]> 2023-05-30 12:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2609097303 austriaairish71 https://padlet.com/austriaairish71/6dha566ljvn7ch10/wish/2611082494 An Introduction to Greek Mythology
