The Ancient Greece Olympians
- 1. The Ancient Gods of Greece By Carson Jenkins
- 2. The Mighty ZEUS Zeus is basically the most powerful guy on Mount Olympus. Hes the king of the gods. Gods and mortals have to do what he says. It's Zeus' job to make sure that the good are rewarded and the evil are punished. He has plenty of children: Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Athena, Dionysus, Hebe, Hephaestus, Hermes, the Muses, Pan, Persephone, Helen, Hercules, Minos, Orion, Perseus, and so many more. Zeus Lightning Bolt
- 3. HERA Queen of the Gods Hera is Zeus' wife and sister, and was raised by the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. She is the supreme goddess, goddess of marriage and childbirth, having a special interest in protecting married women. At one point Zeus married Hera, but after a while, he Zeus ended up constantly tricking Hera. She stays on Olympus with Zeus. Herascow(Oneofher manySymbols
- 4. POSEIDON Lord of the Sea Poseidon, god of the sea, has some anger issues. I think Poseidons personality makes a lot of sense for the god of the ocean because sometimes water is calm, and other times the waves are crashing and destroying things. If you make Poseidon mad, he will probably end up sending storms, floods, and earthquakes out to get you. He is married to the sea goddess, Amphitrite. He of course spends his time in the sea, or Mount Olympus. Poseidons (hard too see) trident, both his symbol and weapon.
- 5. Goddess of the House HESTIA Hestia was a beautiful goddess, both Poseidon and Apollo tried to marry her. Hestia didnt like either of them so she had Zeus make her a virgin forever. When Zeus gave her this favor she asked for he asked (made) her take care of the sacred hearth fire of Olympus. She did it and ended up loving taking care of the warmth in people's homes. Heras symbol: fire, and/or hearth
- 6. DEMETER Goddess of the Harvest Demeter is the goddess of agriculture and all that fun stuff. She taught the art of agriculture to some guy named Triptolemus, who then spread this knowledge to the rest of the earth. Since agriculture is necessary for existence, we owe her big time. I think she was probably a very important god in the Ancient Greece culture. She spends her time on Olympus harvesting. Demeterssymbol,the cornorplants.
- 7. The Master of War ARES Ares is the Greek god of war. He is one of the Twelve Olympians, and the son of Zeus and Hera. In Ancient Greece Ares is the god of the violent and physical part of the war compared to his sister Athena, who is a goddess of intelligence including military strategy and generalship. Ares stays at Olympus. AresSpear+Shield Obviouslyhisweapon
- 8. ATHENA The Wise Athena is the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, and so many more things. Athena is known for her calm temper, its hard to make her angry. She is noted to have only fought for just reasons, and would not fight without a purpose. Athena spends her time on Olympus much like every other god. Athenas spear (weapon)
- 9. APOLLO Of the Sun Apollo is one of the most popular gods, and everybody wanted to worship him. Is it because he's the god of prophecy and everybody wants to know the future? Who knows? But the bottom line is that Apollo is for sure the coolest kid in school. Apollos twin is Artemis. He spends his time on Olympus. Apollos Bow + the Sun his symbol and weapon
- 10. ARTEMIS Of the Moon Artemis, Apollo's twin sister, is the goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, female fertility, and the moon. She's also a sworn virgin. Artemis is known to be nice to mortals but she also has a big temper. This goddess carries a hunting bow and she knows how to use it. Artemis Moon and Bow her symbol and weapon
- 11. HEPHAESTUS God of Fire and Technology Hephaestus is the god of fire, blacksmiths, stonemasons, technology, and volcanoes. Hephaestus is famous for making beautiful and fabulous things. Aphrodite's girdle, Achilles' unbreakable armor, and the sun-chariot of Helios are all things Hephaestus' forged. He is always on Olympus. HephaestusAnvilandHammerwere heforgesweaponsandsuch
- 12. APHRODITE Goddess of Love Greeks may call her Aphrodite, but everybody calls her drop dead gorgeous. Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty. She provides Olympus with more scandal and trouble than it could ever want. She is often untrustworthy. I assume she takes on these traits because of her looks. There's no one quite like her. Aphrodite spends her time on Mount Olympus. Aphrodites most useful weapon was her beauty
- 13. Messenger of the Gods HERMES Hermes is the messenger of the gods and the guide to the dead, so he's a busy guy. You better watch your wallet, though if you ever run into Hermes, (even though you wont.) Although Hermes is easy to get along with in general, he is the god of thieves, and he's known for finding sneaky ways of stealing anything that catches his eye. Hermes will be on Olympus, when not traveling of course. Hermes weapon/symbol called Caduceus
