Volume III Introduction to the Twelve Gods of Olympus

[69 Book Bar-www.] [Everyone should have introduced the story in the future that will be related to the Twelve Gods of Olympus first]

Zeus is the son of Cronos, the king of all gods, and is in charge of the sky. The supreme god in Greek mythology, who controls thunder and lightning, so he is also called Thunder. With the support of his mother Rhea, he killed his father Cronos and became the third generation of god kings. He is extremely lustful and often has an affair with other goddesses and mortals on his back. He has countless illegitimate children. Zeus's symbols are eagles, oaks and mountains; his favorite offerings are white bulls painted with golden horns. When Zeus was born, his father Cronos was in power. His mother Rhea was afraid that Zeus would be swallowed by his father. [Note: Cronos was once predicted to be replaced by his children, so he ate all the first five children born to his wife Rhea, but Zeus escaped], so he hid him in Crete and handed him over to three female fairies to raise him.

——On the island, a female goat provided him with sacred milk, and an eagle brought him fairy wine; whenever he cried, Rhea's servants would dance for Zeus at the cradle, and knocked on the copper shield to cover his crying, so Cronos never discovered this secret. Zeus grew up day by day on the island. One day, he accidentally pushed her down while playing with the female goat, breaking a beautiful horn. The fairy Amalthea hurriedly cured her wounds, and Zeus picked up the horn, gave it magical magic, and gave it to the kind fairy. This horn was called the "horn of fertility" since then because it could produce all kinds of delicious food. After Zeus became an adult, he rescued the five brothers and sisters swallowed by his father, and worked together to overthrow Cronos, and finally ascended the throne.

2. Hera, the queen of Cronos, the sister and wife of Zeus; she is in charge of marriage and childbirth, and is the guardian of women; Hera has an elegant temperament, beautiful face, and is loyal to her partner, and is worthy of the status of the queen of heaven, but her jealousy is also famous all over the world. Therefore, Hera and Zeus often have fierce quarrels, but usually Zeus's sweet words can always make them reconcile as before. Hera's symbol is a peacock, because this bird with colorful feathers reflects the starry-filled bird symbolizing the beautiful and spectacular night sky, and the sky is the brilliant face of Hera.

3. Poseidon, the sea god: Neptune, Zeus' second brother, holds a huge trident and governs all creatures in the sea. He looks like a half man and half fish, and can summon wind and rain. His character is fierce and cruel. Horses and cows are his holy objects.

4. Hades: Pluto, Zeus, Poseidon, Demeter's brother, is in charge of the underworld. He is very powerful, but has a peaceful personality. Except for snatching the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of spring, Borsefune, the goddess of spring, as his wife, there is no other evil deeds. He loves black the most, and his favorite offering is black ewe or black bull wrapped in black veil. Introduction to the underworld after people die, Hermes, the guided god, will bring them to the underworld. Here, a black river flows, the Akerong River - the river of pain. The river blocks the way forward, and only a bearded boatman, Caron, can ferry the undead to the other side. However, the undead must pay a certain crossing fee before they can board the boat, otherwise they will be in

The river wanders along the river of pain and cannot find a home. After crossing the river, there is a vast gray plain, called the Pastoral of Truth. There are two roads connected here, leading to the place of happiness - the Paradise of Elysee and the Place of Pastoral of Pastoral of pain - Hell. The undead are judged by the three judges of the underworld, Minos, Ladamandas and Eagos in front of the judgment table before the Pastoral of Truth. The guilty people receive punishments of different severity in hell based on their sins, and those innocent people will be able to live a happy life of food and clothing, chanting the wind and the moon in the beautiful and peaceful Paradise of Elysee. Between the Paradise of Elysee and Hell, a majestic palace is built, which is the residence of Hades, the Queen of the Underworld.

5. The God of Chastity, Vesta Vista (called Hestia in Greek mythology) is the guardian of the stove and family, helping Juno to be responsible for family life affairs. She represents the chastity, virtue, kindness, hard work of women. She will never marry for life. She will have a position in every family. The fire on the stove represents her existence, but she is less involved in the affairs of the gods and has little status on earth. This is also a side reflection of the low status of women in the paternal society. In Greek mythology, she is the daughter of Cronos and Rhea, the sister of the Lord Zeus, and helped Hera to be responsible for family life affairs. Zeus arranged a position for her on Mount Olympus. She was originally one of the twelve Lord Gods, but in order to live with mortals, she gave her position as the Lord God to Dionysus of the wine (wine) god.

6. Ares: The God of War is a brave, cruel, cunning, irrational, and god of war for war. He once had an affair with the wife of the God of Craftsman, Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, and was put into a large net specially made by the God of Craftsman and could not escape. (Aphrodite was originally a Greek god, but later absorbed by Roman myths, and was called Venus.) The vulture was his holy bird, and his pet beast was a dog.

7. Athene, goddess of wisdom: the goddess of wisdom and the goddess of war of justice, is the only only daughter of Zeus and the goddess of intelligence. She is the goddess of wisdom and goddess of peace (or goddess of war). She is brave, powerful, kind, and kind, but sometimes she is a little bit petty and does not want others to be stronger than her. When she was born, Zeus' head was painful, and then split with a big axe, Athena held a spear and wore armor. Athena was the goddess of wisdom and strength, and was the most beloved daughter of Zeus. She was one of the three virgin goddesses of Olympus. The patron saint of Athens. Owls with shiny eyes at night, roosters and poisonous snakes, and for the goddess of bright eyes, Athena was her symbol.

8. Hermes (the god of peeping) Hermes: the son of Zeus and Atlas' daughter Maia. He had wings and was as fast as he could. He became the messenger of the gods in the heavenly world. Later, he became a protector of travelers, merchants, and thieves. He often turned into a helping protector of mortals. He was the smartest and cunning god. He was quick and elegant, wearing winged sandals, a low-crowned cap with wings, and a demonic battle coiled by two snakes.

Nine, the god of fire Hephaestus: the son of Zeus and Hera. He is ugly and lame, which is a great failure in the beautiful god world! Although he is ugly, he is very gentle and loves peace. He is very popular in the heaven and earth.

Ten, God of Light Apollo: Note: Helios is the sun god, the son of Zeus and Leto, the brother of the moon god and the goddess of hunting Artemis, and one of the twelve Greek gods. He is the main leader of the light, medicine, literature, poetry, laurel is his holy tree, and his favorite pets are dolphins and crows, songs, music, etc. Apollo and Helius are not the same. In most records, the sun god is still Heli.

Russia, not Apollo. It was precisely because Helios was not completely annexed by Apollo like Forpos that later writers compiled many "myths" about how Helios stepped down and Apollo succeeded. In essence, the part where Apollo was regarded as the sun god was Helios. In ancient Greek mythology (except the indigenous Pilaki mythology), there was always only one sun god, that is Helios: Helios can also be called Helios-Apollo.

11. Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty: Aphrodite (also translated by: Aphrodite) is the god of love and beauty in Greek mythology, and the daughter of Zeus and Dione. The Latin Venus and "Friday" both come from her Roman name. In Roman mythology, Aphrodite is the birth of Zeus and Dione, and another saying is the birth of the bubble in the sea by the remains of the god Uranus. Aphrodite has the most perfect body in ancient Greece.

and appearance, symbolizing love and the beauty of women, are considered the highest symbol of female physical beauty. Because of Aphrodite's beauty, all the gods pursued her. Zeus (her father) also pursued her but was rejected, so Zeus married her to the ugly and lame god of fire Hephaestus. But she loved the god of war Ares, and gave birth to the little god of love (Roman name Cupid) and several other children with Ares. Myrtle is her holy tree, dove is her love bird. Swans and sparrows are also very favored.

Twelve, the goddess of moon Artemis: Artemis is Apollo's twin sister, (Roman name: Diana) one of the three virgin gods. The god of moon, the goddess of hunting, the god of purity.
