Who were the Greek gods? A pantheon of gods and goddesses living on Mount Olympus Zeus, the supreme god, was god of the sky Poseidon was god of the sea and Hades was god of the underworld The other Olympians were Aphrodite (Love), Apollo (Prophecy), Ares (War), Artemis (The Hunt), Athena (Arts and Crafts), Demeter (Agriculture), Dionysus (Wine), Hephaestus (Fire), Hera (Marriage), and Hermes (Messenger of the Gods), There were also lesser gods like Eros, heroes like Achilles and mythical beings like the Muses, Centaurs and Satyrs.

What were they like? The gods lived in a central stronghold on Mount Olympus ruled over by Zeus rather like a kingdom. Each god had a function or job. They fought battles,and granted favours to mortals but could also bring disaster.

How did the gods interact with the world? Each of the gods was connected with particular aspects of life. For example, the goddess Athene was connected with childbirth, the production of olives and the crafts. In Athens, where ceramics was a major industry, she was regarded as caring for all the workers in the city and the community as a whole. So the gods offered protection and guidance.

Greek beliefs about creation Although Zeus is the main god he was not a ‘creator’ god and there are no real myths of creation from ancient Greece. Instead the more naturalistic explanations of creation by Greek philosophers were commonly accepted. Man was believed to have been made from clay by the minor craftsman god Prometheus.

Greek beliefs about the universe The gods (immortal) and humans (mortal) lived in different realms. There was, however, a land of perfect happiness at the ends of the earth where favoured mortals lived for ever. It was called Elysium. But there was also the underworld, the world of the dead, ruled over by Hades.

Greek myths Homer’s epic poem ‘the Iliad’ tells the story of Achilles and the Trojan war while his ‘Odyssey’ is about Odysseus. These Greek heroes win glory by adventure and war. They show us what potential there is for the human mind and spirit to explore far beyond the limitations of ordinary, everyday experience.
