GREEK GODS AND GODDESS


In this post I'm going to talk about the gods and goddess of the Greek mythology.
You can see in the image Zeus.

Greek gods.

Apollo: God of music, prophecies, poetry, and archery. Also said to be the god of light and truth. Is associated with the sun. Also referred to as the most beautiful of the gods. He is Artemis's twin brother, and son of Zeus. His symbols are the bow, lyre, and laure.

Ares: God of war, murder and bloodshed. Brother to Athena, and is the son of Zeus. Has an affair with Aphrodite. His symbols are vultures, dogs, boars, and a spear.

Dionysus: God of wine, parties/festivals, madness and merriment. He represents not only the intoxicating power of wine, but also its social and beneficial influences. His symbols are the grape vine, ivy, and thyrsus.

There are more gods of the Greek my thology but I don't go to talk about everybody.

Greek goddess.

Hera: Goddess of marriage, women, and childbirth. Zeus' wife. Appears with peacock feathers often. Her symbols are the scepter, diadem, and peacock.

Hestia: Goddess of the hearth and home, the focal point of every household. Daughter of Rhea and Cronus. Gave up her seat as one of the Twelve Olympians to tend to the sacred flame on Mount Olympus for Dyonisus. Her symbol is the hearth.
