Aurora, Goddess of the Dawn


Greetings. I am Aurora, Goddess of the Dawn. My name is related to the Latin term "aurum", meaning gold. Each morning, I awake wearing my purple cloak, bringing the good news of the arrival of the sun. I have two siblings - my brother is Sol (the sun) and my sister is Luna (the moon). I have had multiple mortal lovers. One was the prince of Troy: Tithonus. I begged Zeus to make him immortal so I could be with him for all eternity, and my wish was granted. Being forgetful as I often am, I forgot to ask for eternal youth, therefore leaving him to age for all of eternity. I knew I could not deal with the baggage of an older man while I was still young, so I turned him into a grasshopper.

Hercules Bio


My name is Hercules, son of Jupiter. I am famous for my great strength. My favorite weapon is the gnarled club. In Greek mythology, I am known as Heracles and am the son of Zeus and Alcmene. However, Zeus was married to Hera and had cheated on her. When Hera found out that Zeus had cheated on her with this mortal woman, she was furious. One night, while I was sleeping, Hera made me go into a frenzy in which I killed my wife and kids. To make up for what I had done, I sought out the Oracle at Delphi, who then told me to serve Eurystheus, King of the Myceneans. He sent me on a series of tasks that would later be known as the Labors Of Hercules. I fought many different and horrible monsters. Due to my extreme strength, I accomplished all these tasks and became a hero. I truly am one of the coolest people in all of Greek mythology.

Eve, Mother of all Living and Humanity


Hey, I'm Eve. You could say I'm rebellious and extremely nieve. I was made for Adam, to be his wife and companion when we lived in the Garden of Eden. One day though, I took an apple apple from the forbidden fruit tree because the serpent convinced me it was okay, even though God told us no to. God was angry, but I wasn't punished as bad as Adam because my crime was one of ignorance, as I didnt know the difference between good and evil.
I'm rebellius because I was made to serve Adam, to live under man. However, when Adam was banished from the Garden because he ate the apple knowing it was wrong, I was allowed to stay. I followed him though, because, well we were made for eachother. I think that kinda puts us on equal footing though, considering he damned the human race, so hes so no longer the boss of me. As if he ever was...
Anyways... I'm the mother of all living and Humanity. I had children which started humanity. Remember when I said I took the fruit from the tree? Well, I did get punished... with childbirth. It hurts really bad, all because of that fruit. That was how God punished me, before he forgave me. Now you know my story, come back and read about my life!


Calypso Bio


I am a nymph that inhabits the island Ogygia. My name in greek means to conceal and I'm symbolized as what keeps men from their goals. Personality wise, I'm selfish yet willing to help others. My father is Atlas and my mother is Tethys. I was banished to the island because I stood behind my father in the battle between Titans and Olympians.

I am most well known for my encounter with Odysseus. When I was on the island Odysseus shipwrecked among it. Since I had been lonely for so long, I wanted to make him become my husband. Since he was married to Penelope, I tried to seduce him and give him everything he wanted to so he would stay. He reluctantly stayed for 7 years and in those years I had three children, Nausithous, Nausinous, and supposively Latinus. However, Athena made Zeus make me send him back and reluctantly, I did. I helped him make a boat and he left the island.

Cupid Bio


Hello fellow gods and goddess's!

My name is Cupid, son of Venus and Mars.

Guess what my favorite holiday is? Valentine's Day of course! I'm frequently seen shooting my bow and inspiring romantic love. Many people even consider me the icon of Valentine's Day. You can never find me without my wings, my bow, and a quiver of arrows.

My story is quite simple really. My mother, Venus, became madly jealous of the princess Pysche. You see, Pysche was so beloved by her subjects that many forgot to worship my poor mother. Distraught by the situation my mother ordered me to make Pysche fall in love with the vilest thing in the world. It was a nasty thing to do, but I had no choice. So I sharpened my finest arrow and flew away to complete my mission.

I silently crept into her room, but while preparing my arrow I accidently scratched myself instead. It was too late to fix- I was madly in love with her. Night after night I visited Pysche and secretly watched her sleep. Eventually she fell in love with me as well and the god Jupiter gave her the gift of immortality so we could always be together. Don't you just love happy endings? <3

Agamemmon's Bio

Hello. My name is Agamemmon. (Ancient Greek: Ἀγαμέμνων; modern Greek: Αγαμέμνονας, "leader of the assembly") I am the son of King Atreus, and Queen Aerope. My father murdered my twin brother, Thyestes's children. Thyestes was then fed his children, because my father discovered he had committed adultry with his wife.

Ares Bio

I am Ares, God of War! Worship me, or die! Just kidding. I'll only kill you if I don't like you personally. My name means "war," or "battle." Of course, unlike my sister, Athena, I like to go into battle and totally destroy stuff rather than be careful and strategic. That takes too long. That is why most people don't like me as much as her. I like to ride in my sweet chariot. I love to shoot people with arrows or stab them in the chest with my sword. No big deal. Also, don't forget about my dog, Killeties, and my vulture, Paragon. And if you're in my way, I will destroy you! Bye.
