Western myths, stories and characters

Zeus

King of gods, master of Olympus, god of sky, weather, thunder and lightning, law, order and destiny. He is the youngest son of Cronus and Rhea, and the husband of Hera. Symbols are eagles, oak trees, sticks, thrones and peaks; His favorite sacrifices are a female goat and a white bull with golden horns.

At first, Gaia, the mother of the earth, supported her grandson Zeus. At the wedding of Zeus and Hera, she gave away golden apples from the sacred garden. But later, because Zeus sent her other sons of the Titan protoss to hell, Gaia bore a grudge. Gaia, the mother of the earth, gave birth to a monster named Di Feng, which posed a great threat to the world and fought against the gods.

Zeus went to fight with him, and struck him with lightning, fire and thunder. The flame burned into Di Feng's heart, making him lose his strength. About the final outcome of Di Feng, one said that he was trapped underground in the area of Mount Etna.

when he is angry, he will let the volcano flow out magma. Later, Gaia urged the Alcyoneus Alyoneus Giants King to rebel against Zeus. But under the block of Hercules and the gods, Alcyoneus finally failed and was sent to hell.

Poseidon

Poseidon's love brought him many magical children, and his wife Amphitrite gave birth to his half-man, half-fish son Triton. Demeter didn't like Poseidon's ambiguity about her. When he became a horse, Poseidon became a horse and continued to chase her.

A fine horse named Aryon is the fruit of their love. This horse can talk and will surely be the first in all horse-drawn carriage races in Greece. Poseidon also took away the beautiful girl Telfi, took her to an island, turned her into a sheep, and turned herself into a ram. As a result, the ram with golden wool appeared.

drawing lots to divide the world makes the land, sea and air on the surface equally divided by the three brothers, but the distribution of internal forces is obviously uneven. Zeus often speaks wildly, trying to pull the earth and the sea together and hang them on Mount Olympus. Poseidon had to respect Zeus' position as the main god on the surface, but he was unconvinced in his heart. The earthquake and tsunami were all manifestations of his inner indignation.

Herakler

alker Des was the son of Zeus and queen Alcmene of Thebes (Alkides, meaning the son of Alcmene). The queen was afraid of Hera's power, so she left the child in the barren hills.

One day, Hera and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, were walking in the field. Hera fell in love with the child at first sight and fed him with her own milk. In this way, alker Des had magical power. Athena also liked the child, so she gave him to her biological mother. Hera knew that she had fed her rival in love, so she sent two poisonous snakes to kill alker Des, but the baby pinched the poisonous snakes to death in the cradle.

Later, alker Des grew up, accepted the gift from the Lord God, completed the famous "Twelve Great Achievements", became the most famous hero in Greece, and got a new name "Heracles" (meaning "Glory of Hera").

Hera hated Heracles, so she sent a Remy Martin to flirt with Heracles' wife, and Heracles shot her to death. Before he died, Remy Martin gave a woman a bottle of blood and told her that as long as she smeared this blood on her husband's shirt, she could make him love her forever.

As a result, Hercules put on this shirt and died of poison. His wife also committed suicide with guilt. Hercules died and ascended to heaven as "Hercules".

Extended information:

Greek mythology covers a large number of myths and legends, many of which are expressed by Greek artworks, such as pottery painting and relief art in ancient Greece. These legends are intended to explain the origin of the world and tell the lives and adventures of the gods and heroes and their special views on the creatures at that time. These myths began from word of mouth, and most of the Greek myths or legends known today come from ancient Greek literature.

The Twelve Gods of Olympus are the twelve greatest gods in the Olympian protoss, so-called "Dodekatheon". Although it is agreed to be twelve gods, the list is quite different.

The twelve gods usually depicted in ancient poems and works of art are Zeus, Hera, Demeter, Poseidon, Athena, Apollo, themis, Aphrodite, Ares, Hephaestus and Hermes. The last one is either Hestia or Dionysus.
