6. Who created the gods?
The gods were created by the Titans, Kronos and Rhea. Kronos is the Father of Time.

7. Who created the titans?
The titans were created by Gaia, Mother Earth, and Uranus, the father of the sea. Gaea turned out to be evil, and she created the giants to destroy the gods. Uranus was cut up by Kronos with his signature weapon, the Scythe, and threw him into the sea. Aphrodite was born from Uranus’s sea foam. (In my point of view, she should be a Titan, not a God, but that is just how mythology went.)

Phoebe

Persephone: Goddess of plants (Also Hades prisoner/wife in the Underworld)

12. Are Roman gods similar to Greek gods?
Yes, the roman gods are very similar to the greek ones. Actually, they are the same people, but with different personalities. See, if you met a grouchy god(dess), like Hera, you would rather meet her in her Hera mood rather than a Juno mood (her roman form). The roman gods are more strategic and fight-y , while roman gods, well, are just the opposite.

13. What is Tartarus?
Tatarus is the endless pit of death that the Titans were thrown into after the first Titan war. Kronos, was thrown onto the abyss after being chopped up into a million pieces with his own scythe by his son Zeus. The worst monsters are there while they are re-forming (we’ll get to that later), or while they are waiting to be awoken by the worst forces imaginable.

14. Monsters
There are many monsters in the greek mythological world. Some, are very famous, like the Minotaur, and others, like the empousa, are not so famous. Some monsters, like Medusa, have special powers. Medusa can turn things to stone by looking at them. Empousa, can turn their hair and other things on their bodies to flame. Harpies, can fly (they are half human nad half bird). Some monsters, are good. Like Hippocampi. They live in the oceans, with their half fish and half hippopotamus friends. Centaurs, are also good, and so are some Cyclopes. Cyclopes have a power to withstand any type of fiercely hot flame. They work at Hephaestus's Forges. A Neman Lion’s coat is like armor; any weapon thrown at it will bounce off.

15. What happens to monsters after they are killed
Some monsters (unless they are hit in certain spots), go to Tartarus, only to re-form. It may take years, weeks, months, or days for a monster to re- form. Quite annoying actually.

16. To wrap things up….
Greek Mythology is a confusing world of monsters, gods and demi-gods. I wish these things were real, but they aren’t (as far as the human race knows …).
