IDE 110 MYTHOLOGY CHAPTER ONE “THE GODS” I chose chapter one because I always wondered who the Goddesses and Gods of Greek mythology were and what their features,how their attitudes to humans as well. This chapter is important because whenever I read Greek Mythology ,I’m astonished to fınd out that all features of Goddesses and Gods and I discovered informations about myths.I think that is important point for understand the pure theology. I read The Titans and The Twelwe Great Olympians,Titans are powerful Elder Gods.Cronus is Zeus’ father,he treated his children cruelly for his power,but finally Zeus dethroned him and got the power for himself.Olympus is Olympians’ home.It was held to be a mountain top in the northest of Grecee.Each of them has different missions ’’Homer makes Poseidon says that he rules the sea,Hades the dead,Zeus the heavens,but Olympus is common to all three.’’ Secondly,I read the features of Olympians Goddesses and God.Zeus is so strong God.He ruler of the Gods ,the lord of the sky,and has a thunderbolt.Hera is both his sister and his wife.Hera is the queen of the Gods and responsible for protecting of marriage.Poseidon is the ruler of the sea ,Zeus’ brother , and is called earth shoker.Hades is king of the underworld and so rich because he has precious metals in the earth .Respectively.Hestia is a virgin Goddesses like Athena and Artemis and the Goddesses of the hearth .Ares is the God of war,Athena is Goddesses of wisdom and favorite child of Zeus. Apollo is God of light. Aphrodite is the Goddesses of love and beauty.Swans and doves represent her. Hermes is the God of fertility,Artemis is the protector of the young.Hephaestus is God of fire and husband of Aphrodite.
I will summarize briefly The Lesser Gods Of Olympus. Actually we can say that they are the daughter of Zeus and there are three Graces ; Aglaia,Mirth,Thalia and they do not hold a place on the council of Gods in Olympus. The Gods Of The Waters are Poseidon,Ocean is lord of the river Ocean,Pontus ,Nereus is called the old man of the sea ,Thetis,Amphitrie is another God.Proteus has the power of foretelling the future,Leucothea.They are Gods of the sea. The Undorworld is the kingdom of the dead.This place is ruled by Hades and her wife Persephone.Hades carries away from her the earth and they rule the underwold together. Erebus is a fascinating character because his name meaning is shadow and darkness.Tartarus is lower than Hades. The Erinyes are Goddesses who punished the criminals for peace. The Lesser Gods of Earth is the myth of Earth .She is called the All-Mother,but she is not a divinity.Demeter is the goddesses of the fertility and harvest.Dionysus is the god of wine.Pan is the chief and a merry God and he is part of animal with a horn of goat and also known as a musician.Silenus ,Castor and Pollux are the special protector of sailors.They are sons of Zeus.When Castor is dead,Pollux is inconsiderable and then he prays to die.The Sileni is creatures both man and horse.The Satyrs are goat men.Goddesses and Gods of the woodland are Oreads,Dryads,Aeolus is the king of the winds.Four chief winds may be divided into four groups like Boreas,Zephyr,Notus,Eurus.Centaurs are both half man and half horse.Gorgons are earth dwellers and they are dragons such as creatures with wings.Graiae,Sirens have an appealing voices. The Roman Gods are the twelwe great Olympians as I mentioned earlier.The Roman Mythology adopted Greek Mythology,but names of goddesses and gods are different in the Roman Mythology such as Jupiter(Zeus),Juno(Hera) ,Neptune(Poseidon), Vesta(Hestia) ,
