Ares

Ares is the god of war. In "Percy Jackson the Lightning thief" you overhear that Ares and Aphrodite are dating. So Ares is kind of Aphrodite's husband. His symbol is a bloody spear, his animals are the boar and the serpent. He goes into battles a lot as would imagine and fights a lot of wars as you can also probably imagine. He isn't a bad god there are no bad gods in Greek mythology as I said in the Hades part. Now hear is a picture of Ares the god of war.

Athena


Her animal is the owl. Athena was fully born from Zeus' head but her children are not. The city Athens is named after her when she won the contest to be patron of Athens. She offered the first Olive tree Poseidon offered a salt water spring. In Roman she was called Minerva and most of her battle power was removed. This is the Athena Parthenos the main attraction in the Parthenon in Greece in Athens. It's a statue of her holding Nike the winged victory goddess with her shield looking like she protecting a snake.

Aphrodite


Aphrodite is the one I'm going talk about today. She is the goddess of love, and the oldest of the Olympian gods. She was born from Uranus the God Gia married and had her sons slice into pieces. The remains of Uranus falling into the sea created Aphrodite. Her item of power is a sash. You find that out in the "The Lightning Thief" by "Rick Riordan". The sash makes you want to love. It's interesting that Aphrodite is a goddess instead of a titan. Please comment on why you think she's a goddess instead of a titan. Now here's a picture of Aphrodite.
