In Greek mythology, twelve gods and goddesses ruled the universe
from atop Greece’s Mount Olympus. These Olympians had come to
power after their leader, Zeus, overthrew his father, Kronos,
leader of the Titans. All the Olympians are related to one
another. The Romans adopted most of these Greek gods and
goddesses, but with new names.
Zeus (Roman name: Jupiter)
The most powerful of all, Zeus was god of the sky and the king
of Olympus. His temper affected the weather, and he threw
thunderbolts when he was unhappy. He was married to Hera but had
many other lovers. His symbols include the oak and the
thunderbolt.
Hera was goddess of marriage and the queen of Olympus. She was
Zeus’s wife and sister; many myths tell of how she sought
revenge when Zeus betrayed her with his lovers. Her symbols
include the peacock and the cow.
Poseidon (Roman name: Neptune)
Poseidon was god of the sea. He was the most powerful god except
for his brother, Zeus. He lived in a beautiful palace under the
sea and caused earthquakes when he was in a temper. His symbols
include the horse and the trident (a three-pronged pitchfork).
Hades was king of the dead. He lived in the underworld, the
heavily guarded land where he ruled over the dead. He was the
brother of Zeus and the husband of Persephone, Demeter’s
daughter, whom he kidnapped.
Aphrodite (Roman name: Venus)
Aphrodite was the goddess of love and beauty, and the protector
of sailors. She may have been the daughter of Zeus and the Titan
Dione, or she may have risen from the sea on a shell. Her
symbols include the myrtle tree and the dove.
Apollo
Apollo was the god of music and healing. He was also an archer,
and hunted with a silver bow. Apollo was the son of Zeus and the
Titan Leto, and the twin of Artemis. His symbols include the
laurel tree, the crow, and the dolphin.
Ares (Roman name: Mars)
Ares was the god of war. He was both cruel and a coward. Ares
was the son of Zeus and Hera, but neither of his parents liked
him. His symbols include the vulture and the dog, and he often
carried a bloody spear.
Artemis (Roman name: Diana)
Artemis was the goddess of the hunt and the protector of women
in childbirth. She hunted with silver arrows and loved all wild
animals. Artemis was the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin
of Apollo. Her symbols include the cypress tree and the deer.
Athena (Roman name: Minerva)
Athena was the goddess of wisdom. She was also skilled in the
art of war, and helped heroes such as Odysseus and Hercules.
Athena sprang full-grown from the forehead of Zeus, and became
his favorite child. Her symbols include the owl and the olive
tree.
Hephaestus (Roman name: Vulcan)
Hephaestus was the god of fire and the forge (a furnace in which
metal is heated). Although he made armor and weapons for the
gods, he loved peace. He was the son of Zeus and Hera and
married Aphrodite. His symbols include the anvil and the forge.
Hestia (Roman name: Vesta)
Hestia was the goddess of the hearth (a fireplace at the center
of the home). She was the most gentle of the gods, and does not
play a role in many myths. Hestia was the sister of Zeus and the
oldest of the Olympians. Fire is among her symbols.
Hermes (Roman name: Mercury)
Hermes was the messenger god, a trickster, and a friend to
thieves. He was said to have invented boxing and gymnastics. He
was the son of Zeus and the constellation Maia. The speediest of
all, he wore winged sandals and a winged hat and carried a magic
wand.
Demeter (Roman name: Ceres)
Demeter was the goddess of the harvest. The word “cereal” comes
from her Roman name. She was the sister of Zeus. Her daughter,
Persephone, was forced to live with Hades each winter; at this
time Demeter let no crops grow. Her symbols include wheat.
Dionysus (Roman name: Bacchus)
Dionysus was the god of wine, which he invented. In ancient
Greece Dionysus was honored with springtime festivals that
centered on theater. Dionysus was the son of Zeus and Semele, a
mortal. His symbols include ivy, the snake, and grapes.
