Greek Mythology Can you think of examples of Greek gods and goddesses in other cultures?

Mythology A rich collection of stories about the exploits of gods and goddesses that sought to explain natural phenomena and life events

The Significance of Greek Mythology Often there were multiple, opposite stories about the gods and goddesses  This is possible because there is no sacred text and no single set of beliefs could be elevated as supreme.  Therefore, people are fairly religiously tolerant, there are no heretics (someone who does not conform to a certain belief system) Religion brought the community together and faith was a more personal affair

Greek Gods and Goddesses Polytheistic Represent human qualities Incorporated into western art and literature Evident in Greek art and architecture

Zeus God of the gods Hurled lightening bolts at those who displeased him Famous for having multiple affairs and fathering many other gods

Hera Goddess of marriage and wife of Zeus Most stories dealing with Hera involve her getting back at Zeus for his cheating

Hades God of the Underworld Also the god of metal because metal come from the earth

Athena Goddess of Wisdom Legend of the Birth of Athena  Zeus was once married to Metis, who was renowned for her wisdom  When Metis became pregnant, Zeus was warned that a son born to Metis would overthrow him  Zeus swallowed Metis and in time he was overcome with a splitting headache from which he birthed Athena Goddess of Athens

The Parthenon – temple built and dedicated to the Athena in Athens

Aries God of war Patron god of Sparta Legends of Aries:  Though an immortal deity, he was bested by Hercules in battle and was almost killed when stuffed into a jar by two giants  When another hero wounded him during the Trojan War, he received scant sympathy from his father Zeus

Hermes Messenger of the gods and guide of dead souls to the Underworld

Aphrodite Goddess of love and beauty Daughter of Zeus

Apollo God of music Legends of Apollo:  When someone died suddenly, he was said to have been struck down by one of Apollo's arrows  Homer's epic of the Trojan War begins with the god causing a plague by raining arrows down upon the Greek camp

Artemis Goddess of hunting and the moon Daughter of Zeus and twin sister of Apollo Patron goddess of the city-state Ephesus

Greek Mythology in Western Civilization Many of Western civilization’s symbols, metaphors, words, and idealized images come from ancient Greek mythology, such as…

Nike – Goddess of Victory

Atlas – Astronomy and Navigation Doomed to hold the heavens on his shoulders Examples include an atlas (book of maps), as well as the moving company which bears the same name

Apollo – God of Music Apollo Theatre in New York City

Trident The three-pronged spear of Poseidon, god of the seas Trident is a popular brand of gum  'Tria' is Greek for 'three' and 'donti' means 'tooth'; hence, Trident translates literally as 'three-teeth', or 'triple-toothed‘  Trident Gum, if one is to believe the advertising, helps to clean your teeth, thus the allusion
