Hi, so if you want to continue reading Greek myths, then let me give you a list of the protagonists who are the Olympians...
Greek/Roman
Zeus/Jupiter - the supreme god
Hera/Juno - wife of Zeus and the goddess of rulership and family
Athena/Minerva - the daughter Zeus and the goddess of wisdom, strategic planning of war, handicrafts, and justice
Artemis/Diana - another one of Zeus' daughters and the goddess of hunting, archery, and the moon... imagine her as a tomboy
Apollo/Apollo - the son of Zeus and the god of arts, music, archery as well, and the sun... he is also the the twin brother of Artemis.
Ares/Mars - the god of war... the violence of war
Aphrodite/Venus - the goddess of love and beauty... the wife of Ares too
Hephaestus/Vulcan - the god of fire... He's also the blacksmith of the gods. And his ex-wife is Aphrodite
Hestia/Vesta - the goddess of home and hearth. She's the kindest of pantheon
Hades/Pluto - the god of the underworld. His wife is Persephone
Demeter/Ceres - the goddess of nature and mother of Persephone
Poseidon/Neptune - the god of the sea
Dionysus/Bacchus - the god of parties and festivities
Okay now that I'm editing the story... I saw that it was a little longer than I expected. Now there are some things that I have to say. In some versions of the Theogony, it says that Hades willingly chose to be the underworld god, because he felt sorry for the dead spirits wandering around aimlessly. Also some say that Aphrodite is the daughter of Zeus (sigh) and Dione. Oh and that son Zeus was supposed have from Metis, never ended up being born. And since Zeus didn't eat Metis normally, he always makes impulsive decisions... though sometimes he made good ones. And please don't believe the modern media for what they say about Greek mythology... Aphrodite is not sweet and gentle, and Hades is not evil... I'll prove my point in later myths. Well I guess we're done here. Please comment, vote, and share. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it :) until next time
