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.

Hera

Image result for HeraNow I'm going to talk about Hera. She is married to Zeus the king of the gods. She was the only girl child that came from Khronos. The king titan not from (Teen Titans) from Greek  mythology. She is the wife of Zeus, actually the godly wife of Zeus. Her animals are the cow, the lion, and the peacock. She usually punishes her husband's demigod children because she's jealous of her husband going around giving birth with other woman. She usually hates her husband's children but some got on her good side. Like Jason in the old stories. Here's a picture of her with a peacock.

Hades

Today I'll be talking about Hades the Greek god of the Underworld. Hades is kind of different from the other gods. After all he's the only god that doesn't completely control his area. He needs Thanotos but that's another story. He I think is the only god with a pet. Cerberus is his pet. People who don't know about Greek mythology always think he's a bad guy. Which is wrong because all the gods are good. Here's a picture of the ruler of the Underworld himself with his pet Cerberus and holding his helm of darkness. Cerberus is a dog with three heads raised by Hades. His helm of darkness allows him do melt into shadows and become invisible.

Poseidon

Today I'll be talking about Poseidon the Greek god of the water. There is a lot to talk about with Poseidon. He has many minions to such as mermaids, fish centaurs, and his sons and wife. Well not all of his sons and daughters. Here's a picture Poseidon the ruler of the sea. He basically owns the ocean.
He also has his Trident his weapon he uses for battle. He created horses so that is technically his sacred animal. In Athens (The ancient Greek capitol) Which he lost a contest to Athena to be patron of Athens he gave a saltwater fountain as his gift and Athena gave them the Olive tree. She won because of that.
