    OLYMPIAN GODS AND GODDESSES

    APHRODITE
    Aphrodite was the goddess of fertility, love, and beauty. During the Trojan War, Aphrodite
    fought on the side of Paris. Aphrodite and her son Eros (Cupid) teamed up to cause Zeus to fall
    in love with a human named Europa.

    APOLLO
    Apollo was the son of Leto and Zeus. He was born on the island of Delos. He and his twin sister
    Artemis, also an Olympian, shared an aptitude for archery. The nine Muses were companions of
    his; they were goddesses known for inspiring art and music.

    ARES
    He was the son of Zeus and Hera, both of whom hated him (according to Homer). Eros (more
    commonly known as Cupid) was the child of Ares and Aphrodite. Ares was most notably
    referred to as the God of War; he represented the unpleasant aspects of battle.
    ARTEMIS
    Artemis was daughter of Zeus and Leto and twin sister of Apollo. She was primarily a virgin
    huntress, goddess of wildlife and patroness of hunters. She was an important goddess in the lives
    of women, especially when it came to marriage and young creatures.

    ATHENA
    Athena was the Goddess of War, the female counterpart of Ares. She is one of three virgin
    goddesses; the other two were Hestia and Artemis. Athena served as a guardian of Athens, where
    the Parthenon served as her temple.

    DEMETER
    Demeter was the daughter of Cronos and Rhea. She was the goddess of harvest and fertility.
    Only women attended the Thesmophoria, a fertility festival held in honor of Demeter.
    DIONYSUS
    Dionysus was primarily known as the God of the Vine. Upon reaching adulthood, Dionysus
    wandered the Earth, teaching men the culture of the vine. Dionysus was the last god to enter
    Olympus.

    HADES
    He was also called the God of Wealth or “the rich one” because he possessed the precious metals
    of the earth. Hades had a cap or helmet that made its wearer invisible. His wife was Persephone,
    Demeter’s only daughter, whom he kidnapped and made his queen.

    HEPHAESTUS
    Hephaestus was the only ugly god among perfectly beautiful immortals. He was the workman of
    the immortals: he made their dwellings, furnishings, and weapons. Hephaestus was known as the
    God of Fire.
    HERA
    Hera was Queen of the Olympian gods. In the story of the Quest of the Golden Fleece, Hera was
    a gracious protector of the heroes. Hera had few, if any, redeeming qualities. She never forgot an
    injury.

    HERMES
    Hermes was considered a “trickster” due to his cunning and clever personality. He primarily
    served as the herald or messenger of the gods. Hermes was born in a cave on a mountain in
    Arcadia; he was conceived and born within the course of one day.

    HESTIA
    Although Hestia appeared in a few stories, she was not overly significant in Greek mythology.
    She was a sibling to Demeter, Hades, Poseidon, Hera, and Zeus. Hestia is completely omitted
    from the works of Homer, author of the Iliad and the Odyssey.
    POSEIDON
    Poseidon was allotted his dominion after the fall of the Titans. He wielded the trident or three-
    pronged spear, and this image of him is reflected in art. Poseidon was most notably the God of
    the sea and the protector of all waters.

    TYCHE
    Tykhe, also known as Tyche, was the Greek goddess of chance, fate and fortune. She represented
    not only the positive aspects of these characteristics but also the negative ones. The ancient
    Greeks thought she was the reason for unexpected events in their lives, good and evil. For
    example, if someone had much success in life […]

    ZEUS
    Zeus was the father of the famous Greek hero Hercules. The name Zeus
    means "bright" or "sky." His weapon of choice was the thunderbolt, made for
    him by the Cyclops.
