  7. Gods Hades Zeus Apollo Hermes Poseidon Ares

  8. Goddesses Aphrodite Athena Hera

  9. Mythical Creatures Pegasus Satyr Cerberus

  10. ZeusKing of all the Gods Zeus had more powers than anyone. Zeus could throw his voice, and sound like anybody. He could shape shift, and look like anybody. In fact, he was so good at shape shifting that he could shape shift into the form of an animal. He could throw lightning bolts. His horse, Pegasus, carried his lightning bolts for him. Zeus had a quick temper, a big sense of humor, and lots of girlfriends. He was not afraid of anything except Hera, his wife.

  11. HadesGod of the Underworld Hades was NOT the lord of death. His job was to run the Underworld. He was a good ruler. Parts of the Underworld were very nice, like the Elysian Fields, where heroes dwelled after they died. Parts were not so nice. Those were for people who were not so nice during their lifetime.  Hades had everything he needed. He had an invisible helmet, which he liked very much. He had a golden chariot, which was his pride and joy. He had his faithful and deeply loved companion, his three-headed dog, Cerberus. He was perfectly content. At least he was content, until he fell in love with the beautiful Persephone.

  12. PoseidonGod of the Sea Poseidon was very powerful. He could raise his hand and a new island would appear! The Greeks were terrified of Poseidon. All the Greeks, but especially those who lived in coastal towns, built a temple to honor Poseidon. They brought special gifts to the temple every day, hoping to keep him happy. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it didn't. Poseidon was very moody. Poseidon had many wives. But his main wife was not jealous, so Poseidon did not have the problems at home that Zeus did. 

  13. ApolloThe Sun God Apollo is associated with beauty and he is portrayed as a young man with curly hair in color of gold. He symbolizes the Sun and light. It is believed he crosses the sky in his chariot everyday and he carries his lyre. Apollo does not marry or have many children, though sometimes he falls in love. Apollo is a wise god who can tell the future, and his temple at Delphi was a famous oracle, a place where people went to find out what was going to happen. Apollo is also a musician who plays the lyre.

  14. HermesMessenger of the Gods Hermes was Zeus' youngest son. Hermes was born mischievous. Even as a baby, Zeus could tell that Hermes was going to be a whole lot of fun to have around.  Things were alwaysgoing on in the mythical world. The job of messenger to the gods allowed Hermes to have the inside scoop on just about everything. It is no wonder that there are probably more myths that include Hermes than any other god. The other gods trusted Hermes. Hermes had a true warmth. He was playful enough to be interesting. He was very bright and very loyal.  He was the best negotiator in the world.  He was always cracking deals to get himself and others out of trouble

  15. AresGod of War Ares was tall, handsome, mean, and self-centered. His sidekick, Eris, the spirit of disagreement, traveled everywhere with him. They carried four spirits along as well - the spirits of Pain, Panic, Famine, and Oblivion.  In Greek mythology, Ares did not care who won or lost a battle. He just liked to see bloodshed.  Most of the other gods stayed as far away from Ares as possible. He only caused trouble Game

  16. HeraQueen of the Gods Hera was married to Zeus. She was the queen of all the gods, and also the goddess of marriage.  Hera was very jealous of her famous and powerful husband, Zeus. Hera was rarely nice to the many children Zeus had by other mothers.  There are many myths about Hera's jealously, anger, and revenge. 

  17. AphroditeGoddesses of Love Aphrodite was the exception to the Greek God family tree. Some say her parents were unknown, and that she was born of sea foam. Others, like the poet Homer, said she was a daughter of the mighty Zeus, king of all the gods. However she was born, Aphrodite was the goddess of love and beauty. She was an essential element of many Greek myths. Legend says that Aphrodite could be kind or merciless. But the truth is that most of the myths about Aphrodite are, well, rather focused on Aphrodite. Not that she was vain. Aphrodite knew that she was the fairest in the land.   

  18. AthenaGoddesses of Wisedom Athena was born without a mother.  Her father was the mighty Zeus, king of all the gods. Athena was born directly out of Zeus' brain.   Zeus loved all his children, but if he had to pick a favorite, it would probably have been Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Athena was a powerful force, and one of the 12 deities who held a seat on Mount Olympus.

  19. Pegasus Pegasus, the flying horse, was the son of Poseidon, king of the ocean, and Medusa, a horrible monster with snakes for hair. Yet the stories of Pegasus are wonderful and warm. Some tell how Pegasus carried wounded Greek soldier from battle.  Many people tried to kidnap this famous horse. Some succeeded. But the gods always intervened, always on the side of Pegasus, and always to the disadvantage of whomever had kidnapped him.  Ultimately, after many adventures, Pegasus found a home on Mount Olympus. He became the thundering horse Zeus rode in the stars. 

  20. Satyr In Greek mythology the satyrs are deities of the woods and mountains. They are half human and half beast; they usually have a goat's tail, flanks and hooves. While the upper part of the body is that of a human, they also have the horns of a goat. They are the companions of Dionysus, the god of wine, and they spent their time drinking, dancing, and chasing nymphs.

  21. Cerberus In Greek mythology, the three-headed watchdog who guards the entrance to the underworld. It is a child of the giant Typhon a monstrous creature herself, being half woman and half snake. Game
