Wait is mythology? Mythology is made up of twelve different Gods and Goddesses. It is made up of stories about Gods and Goddesses, but it is not to be read as a kind of Greek bible, an account of the greek religion. Those twelve Gods and Goddesses ruled the universe. The leader of all Gods and Goddesses is Zeus.

Zeus is the most powerful of all Gods. He was the God of the sky, and of the Olympian Gods. He overthrew his father,and drew lots with his brothers Poseidon and Hades. Zeus is famous for affairs with other Goddesses. His mood affects the weather, when he is mad he throws thunderbolts at the world. He married Hera, but he had many other lovers. Zeus’ roman name is Jupiter.

Hades is the brother of Zeus and Poseidon. He is the God of the underworld. He is the king of the dead; but don’t confuse him with the God of death, Thanatos. Hades roman name is Pluto. He is known as the greedy God. He is concerned with getting more followers. He does not let anybody leave the underworld. He is also the God of wealth, due to his metals mined from the earth. He also has a helmet that makes him invisible. He barely even leaves the underworld himself.

Athena is the daughter of Zeus and Metis. She is the Greek Goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill. She was Zeus’ favorite child. Athena’s mother, Metis the Goddess of wisdom Zeus’ first wife. Athena is the Greek Goddess of reason, intelligent activity, arts and literature. She is fierce and brave in battle, but only wars to defend the state and home from outside enemies. She is the Goddess of the city.

People say that is how winter was made, Because when Persephone is gone Demeter will not let anything grow.

I have told you about five of the twelve Greek Gods and Goddesses. There is still so much to learn about all of these Gods and Goddesses. Know you know that Zeus was the ruler of all of the Gods and Goddesses. That Hades was the God of the underworld, and that he took Persephone from Demeter. You also know about the birth of Athena.
