Zeus

As we all know, Zeus is the king of gods and the ruler of Mount Olympus.

Zeus is the son of Cronus. Cronus is a combination of creativity and destructive power of time. His parents are Uranus and Gaia, and his wife is Rhea, the goddess in charge of the passage of time. Rhea gave birth to many children, but every child was eaten by Cronus at birth. When Rhea gave birth to Zeus, she was determined to protect this little life. She wrapped a stone in cloth and lied that it was a newborn baby. Cronus swallowed the stone in one gulp. So Zeus dodged a bullet and was sent to Cronus's sister, the goddess water lily.

When Zeus grew up, he knew his life and was determined to save his brother. He married Mitis, the goddess of wisdom, and listened to his wife's advice, making his father Cronus take emetic. After taking the medicine, Cronus kept vomiting, and all the children in his stomach vomited. They are Poseidon, Hades, Hestia and de messer. In order to reward their brother Zeus, they agreed to give him the most powerful weapon, lightning.

Zeus was so disgusted with his father's tyranny that he contacted his brothers to wage war on his father. In order to win as soon as possible, Zeus followed the advice of his brother Prometheus and released the cyclops and the child prodigy imprisoned underground. These two monsters have extraordinary power, and Zeus and his brothers finally won. Their father and many Titan gods were sent to hell. After a great victory, it's time to decide who will be king. Zeus and his brothers refused to give way to each other, and there was a war between them. At this time, Prometheus proposed to decide by drawing lots. As a result, Zeus became the king of heaven, Poseidon became the king of the sea and Hades became the king of hell.

Zeus, sitting on Mount Olympus, has supreme power and strength. He is the guide of justice, and his rule over mankind is fair and just. His suggestion is difficult to understand, his decision is irrevocable, and his will is prudent and correct.

Zeus is both the king of gods and the king of mankind, so people often describe him sitting on an exquisite throne. The solemn head shows the power to control the storm and the charm to control the starry sky. People usually sacrifice him with ewes and goats, or bring a white bull from Jinjiao.

Poseidon

Poseidon often held a trident, which became his symbol. When he is angry, monsters will appear at the bottom of the sea. He can cause tsunamis and earthquakes by waving a trident, but the sacred animal dolphin, which symbolizes him, shows the tranquility of going to sea and Poseidon's cordial divinity. Greek sailors and fishermen near the Aegean Sea worshipped him very much.

Poseidon's trident is not only used as a weapon, but also used to break rocks. The clear spring flowing out of cracks irrigates the land and makes farmers harvest, so Poseidon is also known as the god of harvest. Poseidon also gave mankind the first horse. His chariot was pulled by a golden war horse. When his chariot gallops on the sea, the waves will become calm and the dolphins will follow.

Poseidon, with a wide range of divinity, strong aggression and great ambition, always wanted to seize the throne of Zeus, but Zeus found him and exiled him to the ground to be punished, helping King Laomeiton to establish Troy. In addition, he often fought with the gods, and there was a battle between him and Athena in Athens and Tromso.

hell

Hades ruled the underground world. Underground is a vast world like the dead, and it is rich in minerals.

Hades is a god that everyone fears, and everyone keeps him at a distance. He usually sits in a chariot with four dark horses and holds a two-pronged halberd. He can get rid of any obstacles ahead. If he walks into the Yang world, it must be to lead the victim's soul to hades, or to check whether the sun shines through a gap in the ground.

Hell is dead, and there are doors connected. This is the "Gate of Hell". This gate is located near Cape Tanas and is guarded by a three-headed dog named Sa Belas. Once anyone enters the gate of hell, he will never go back to death.

There is a long way from the gate of hell to the gate of hell, and illusory ghosts often appear on the road. There are many rivers in hell, one of which is called Kokutes River, which is formed by the tears of bad people forced to work in hell, so it often makes a terrible wail, because the name of this river itself means "crying from afar". Another river, the Clone River, is the only way for those who try. The water in this river is black, and the current is so fast that no one can swim across it. There is a boatman named Caron on the ferry. He can only cross the river in his boat, but he will ask for a one-yuan fare, otherwise he will refuse to take the boat. If those waiting for trial have no money, they must wait for a year, when Caron will take the ferry for free. So when Greeks die, they usually put a dollar in the mouth of the deceased.

There are three judges in Hades' huge palace. They are Minos, Radaman Toth and Aiku. They are responsible for listening to the thoughts, words and actions of the soul. Hermes, the goddess of justice, holds a sword and weighs good and evil for every soul. If good is greater than evil, she will go to heaven, otherwise she will go to hell. Those who commit heinous crimes will be exiled to "endless hell" and suffer endless pain and suffering forever.

Hades handled the affairs of hell in an orderly way, with strict discipline. He is ruthless, but impartial. He is an awesome god.

Athena (goddess of wisdom and skill)

Athena is the daughter of Zeus, and her mother is Medea, the goddess of wisdom. When Medes got pregnant, she thought she would give birth to an extraordinary daughter. She warned Zeus that the upcoming child would pose a threat to his rights, so Zeus swallowed Medea without hesitation. But Athena did not die, but absorbed the strength of her father and the wisdom of her mother.

Legend has it that Athena was born from Zeus' head. Athena jumped out when Zeus' head cracked. She shouted long live the victory and then danced. She wore a shiny helmet, gorgeous armor and a shiny spear. When they saw the girl, the gods were surprised and surprised, and the whole Mount Olympus was shocked by her dance steps.

Athena had a playmate named pallas when she was a child. She is as old as Athena, and they are always inseparable. Their favorite game is fighting. One day, they picked up spears to play again. When pallas saw Athena coming from behind, he turned and stabbed her with a spear. Zeus on Olympus saw it, fearing that his daughter would be injured, and quickly protected her with a sheepskin shield. Pallas was frightened when he saw a shield falling from the sky. Athena saw her companion in a daze and thought that the opportunity had come, so she bypassed the shield and stabbed pallas with a spear. The spear hit the nail on the head, and pallas let out a cry and fell. Athena was very sad. In memory of her friend, Athena added: pallas before her name. From that day on, her official name was Pallas Athena.

Athena once competed with Poseidon for the ownership of Artec, and the immortal Six Gods were invited by them as referees. The gods decided to let them compete, and whoever gave the most useful things to mankind would get the land. Poseidon smashed his trident on the rock and a war horse roared out. Athena poked the ground with her spear, and an olive tree with silver leaves immediately grew on the ground. The gods believe that the olive branch is a symbol of peace, which is much more useful than killing war horses.

Athena is clever and talented. She is not only the patron saint of women's knitting and sewing, but also the patron saint of men's crafts. The famous sculptor phidias once carved a statue of Athena with ivory and gold. Athena holds this symbol of victory in her right hand and an oval shield in her left hand. This precious statue was placed in the Pantheon in Athens.

Prometheus

Prometheus is the son of Hermes, the goddess of justice, and the cousin of Zeus. He and Athena are very good friends. They often play together. One day, when Prometheus came to the earth, he saw the blue sky and the earth. Everything is so beautiful, but monotonous. He pinched some clay figurines like gods with mud and water, and Athena breathed a sigh of relief at the clay figurines. These clay figurines came to life at once. This is the primitive man.

At that time, Zeus and his brothers were fighting with their father. Prometheus' mother can predict the future. She knew Zeus would win the war, so she helped Zeus and her son.

Soon after, Zeus defeated his father Cronus and became the new master. However, he turned a blind eye to human beings and refused to provide them with the last gift-fire. But Prometheus came up with a clever idea. He took a thick and long fennel pole, carried it to the approaching solar car, put it in its flame and lit it, then returned to the ground with a flickering light.

Zeus was furious when he saw the flame rising from the earth, and decided to take revenge on mankind. He ordered hephaestus, the Vulcan who is good at craftsmanship, to build a beautiful stone statue, and Athena used magic to give life to the stone statue; Hermes taught him language skills; Aphrodite, the goddess of love, endowed her with various attractive charms. Zeus named this beautiful image Pandora, which means "a woman with all talents", because all the gods gave her a gift that harmed mankind. He sent the young woman to earth. She came to Prometheus' brother Epimetheus and asked him to accept a gift from Zeus. Prometheus once warned his brother on Mount Olympus not to accept any gifts from Zeus, but to return them immediately. However, Epimetheus forgot this warning. Pandora walked up to Epimetheus and suddenly opened the lid. The disasters inside fly out like black smoke, including disease, disaster, jealousy, theft, greed, evil and so on. There is only one beautiful thing left at the bottom of the box-hope, but Pandora closed the lid quickly before it flew out according to the warning of the father of gods, so hope will be kept in the box forever. Since then, all kinds of disasters have flooded the earth, the sky and the ocean. Diseases spread and wreak havoc among human beings day and night, but they are silent.

Then Zeus took revenge on Prometheus himself. He gave the enemy to hephaestus and two servants, whose nicknames were Kratos and Pia. They were strong and violent. They locked Prometheus on the hanging rock of Caucasus Mountain, and Zeus sent an evil eagle to peck Prometheus' liver every day. How much the liver eats will soon return to its original state. He had to endure this painful torture until someone died for him voluntarily in the future. One day, Hercules came here to look for Hesperides. Seeing that the evil eagle was pecking at poor Prometheus' liver, he took out his bow and arrow and shot down the cruel evil eagle with one arrow. Then he loosened the chain, liberated Prometheus and took him away from the cliff. But in order to meet the conditions of Zeus, Hercules left Kai Long Xing, a centaur and a centaur Ken Taulos, on the cliff as body double. Kay Long Xing is an immortal god, but he is willing to sacrifice to save Prometheus. Finally, in order to carry out Zeus' judgment thoroughly, Prometheus must always wear an iron ring with stones on the Caucasus Mountain. In this way, Zeus can proudly claim that his enemy is still locked on the cliff of Caucasus Mountain.

Hera

Hera is the daughter of Cronus and the sister of Zeus.

When Zeus fell in love with Hera, he often turned into a cuckoo to approach her, so later the cuckoo became the sacred bird of the goddess.

When Zeus and Hera combined, the earth gave birth to many apple trees for them to celebrate their happy marriage. The tree is covered with golden apples, which is the tree of life.

Hera is the most prestigious goddess. She wore golden sandals and sat on the golden palace. Her glory and majesty are unparalleled. Hera is the queen of heaven and has great authority. All the gods are in awe of her majesty. She is domineering, jealous and quite aggressive. Therefore, triumphal ceremonies are held all over Greece on Hera Festival, and almost all the people who worship this goddess are military commanders with outstanding military achievements.

Hera is the model of a perfect woman, the image of a faithful wife, the patron saint of women, and the most beautiful goddess except Aphrodite.

Hestia

Hestia is the daughter of Cronus and Rhea and the sister of Zeus and Hera. Apollo and Poseidon both proposed to her, but she vowed never to get married to keep her virginity. Considering that she wanted a place to live, Zeus promised to let each family give her a seat.

She left Olympus quietly and protected every family with a stove. She is not only a cook, but also a family god. The flame symbolizes her existence, and it is also the guarantee for the permanence, stability, harmony and prosperity of the family. In ancient times, the fire on the altar was lit by ancestors, and their descendants had the obligation to keep the candle burning, because the extinction of the candle meant the extinction of mankind. Every family has its own stove and every town has its own altar. The fire on the altar symbolizes the life of this town. Whenever a small town people establish a colony in a new place, the flame will accompany these brave immigrants to other places.

Apollo

Zeus likes the goddess Leto very much. After they fell in love, Leto got pregnant, but this caused Hera's jealousy. Leto was forced to run away from home. She walked for nine days, but Kuya couldn't find a place to live. Later, she became a swan and came to a floating island. With the help of Zeus, she fixed the floating island to the bottom of the sea with four pillars. Apollo and his sister, Alsi Smith, were born on this island, which was later named Taylor Island.

When Apollo was born, his body shone with golden light. The goddess in the sky shouted happily.

In order to get the approval of the gods, Apollo decided to show his stunts on Olympus, but the gods on Olympus didn't take him seriously at all, especially Hera, and looked down on him at all. As a result, Apollo decided to travel around the world by himself, making great achievements and becoming more and more famous.

Once, Apollo met Cupid of little love god. He laughed at Cupid's arrow as a toy and could not make an immortal contribution. Hearing this, Cupid took out two arrows of different colors from his quiver, one was gold and the other was lead. The arrow of gold is the arrow of love, and the arrow of lead resists love. Cupid shot a golden arrow at Apollo and a lead arrow at Daphne, the fairy, and a love tragedy began. Apollo fell in love with Daphne, who regarded Apollo as the devil. Finally, in order to avoid Apollo, Daphne became a laurel tree. In memory of Daphne, Apollo decorated his bow with cassia twigs.

Apollo was in charge of music and harp, as well as dance, poetry and inspiration. Poets and prophets rely on his inspiration. Apollo is the god who illuminates the world, and nothing can escape this great ruling. His magical light can shine anywhere, sometimes illuminating people's wisdom, making everything a reality and possible.

One of Apollo's sons was named Asclo Pioz. He can save lives and bring back the dead. This destroys the natural order, and hell is empty. Hades was furious and asked Zeus for a verdict. Zeus killed Asclo Pioz with lightning. Although Apollo was sad, there was nothing he could do.

The symbols of Apollo are harp, bow and arrow, and crowns made of palm trees, Shenmu trees and laurel trees.

Ares

Ares is also called Mars. Legend has it that Hera was born smelling a strange flower.

Ares is very violent and often carries out bloody killings. His divinity is a battle between good and evil, so no one likes him. He is tall and strong, but he is slow and lacks strategy. He usually fights on foot and occasionally rides in chariots. The horse that pulls the cart is born of the north wind, and the angry god is born.

Accompanying him on the battlefield are mainly his sons, representing terror, trembling, panic, fear and so on, as well as Elis, the goddess of disputes, and Ennu, the daughter of the urban destroyer.

Ares' brutal behavior made all the Olympians hate him very much.

Ares' main enemy was Athena. The goddess of extraordinary wisdom resolutely resisted the cruelty of Ares. She often stood up and fought face to face with Ares to protect the soldiers who fought for the just cause.

Hephaistos

Hephaestus was the son of Zeus and Hera. He lived in seclusion in Mount Edona, developed rich mines together with Cyclops, and specially made sophisticated instruments.

Hephaestus is ugly and lame in one leg. But his soul and wisdom are outstanding. He is smart and full of enthusiasm. He built the palace of the gods on Mount Olympus, made lightning and armor for Zeus, and also made articles and weapons of the gods such as Cupid's bow and Hercules' carriage.

Although ugly and disabled, he has a beautiful wife, Aphrodite. However, Aphrodite often met Ares, and hephaestus covered them with a delicate golden net, making them make a fool of themselves in front of the gods. Finally, the couple broke up in discord.

The word hephaestus means Vulcan in Greek. Be regarded as a patron saint by blacksmiths and carpenters. He is a gentle and peace-loving god, and he is equally popular in heaven and on earth.

healthy

Antai is the son of Poseidon and Gaia, the mother of the earth. He never feels tired. As soon as his body touches the earth, he can absorb the power of the earth.

His favorite food is cubs, and he takes pleasure in killing people. In the territory he occupied, neither man nor animals were spared. Whenever a stranger came to Libya from sea or land, he forced the stranger to duel with him and executed him, and then decorated the temple he built for his father by the sea with the skull of the deceased.

Hercules, the great hero, came to Antai's territory. The gods gave him a task, that is, to destroy all monsters that hurt people and animals on the seashore and on various roads. When Hercules and Antai competed, both sides were surprised by the strength of their opponents. Although Hercules constantly knocks Antai to the ground, every time Gaia, the mother of the earth, restores Antai's strength. Finally, Hercules discovered the secret of Aetna's growing strength. He grabbed the terrible giant, let his feet off the ground, held him tightly in his arms, and finally strangled him.

Aphrodite

Aphrodite is Venus. She is the goddess of love and beauty. According to legend, she was born from the foam in the sea.

On Mount Olympus, Hera and Athena said they could compete with Aphrodite. Once, when the gods were holding a banquet, the goddess of dispute quietly came to the banquet hall of Olympus, and she put a golden apple engraved with "belongs to the most beautiful" on the table. Hera took the apple, but Athena and Aphrodite disagreed and asked Zeus for a ruling. It was so difficult that Zeus had to give it to a shepherd named Paris. Paris studied three goddesses. After much consideration, he gave the golden apple to Aphrodite. After the dust settled, Aphrodite became the undisputed beauty god.

Aphrodite's beauty not only conquered the gods on Olympus, but also completely conquered people's hearts. She used sweet wishes to ignite people's passion, make them love, and make them feel happy or miserable.

Her influence is all over nature. On the vast sea, she appeared in the form of light. When the stormy waves see her, they will calm down immediately and the storm will stop immediately. She is also the mother of plants, making the earth full of vitality and flowers.

Alsi Missy

Alsi Smith, the goddess of the moon, is the sister of Apollo, the sun god. She is a lively, healthy and hearty goddess. Almost as divine as my brother. The first quarter moon is her bow and the moonlight is her arrow.

She is the goddess of hunting and the protector of wild animals. She loves small animals very much, so she turns pasture and cultivated land green. The goddess also often leads the fairies who serve her to explore and hunt. Whenever she is tired, she plays the harp or flute and dances with the fairies. Muses and elegant goddesses often come to entertain.

Alsi, the goddess of the moon, brought morning dew, rain dew and frost to the earth. She brought the hope of a bumper harvest to cultivated land, grain and fields. But if people forget to offer sacrifices to her, she will freeze the crops with hail and drive away wild animals to trample on them.

Miss Alsi likes to gallop on the forest grassland. Her face is childish, she has a quiver on her shoulders, and she often has a stag or hound beside her.

I suggest you look at Greek mythology, hoping it will help.
