and god alike. Klotho, meaning "spinner", spins the thread of life. Lachesis, meaning "caster of lots", measures the thread of life. Atropus. meaning "unbending", cuts the thread of life. It is unclear who our parents are. Some say we are the daughters of Erebus and Nyx, while others say we are the daughters of Zeus and Themis. While we are considered the most powerful of the gods, Zeus can change our decisions, and we can occasionally be manipulated.
I am Venus, the Roman goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. The Greeks called me Aphrodite, but I served the same purpose in their culture. It has been said that I descended from Uranus, but others say that my parents were Zeus and Dione. My son, Aeneas, fled Troy during the Trojan war. His descendants founded the city of Rome. Many temples have been erected in my honor, demonstrating the reverence towards me of the ancient peoples.
I am: a craftsman, an inventor, a murderer, and an innovator. I am Daedalus. In some cases, it may seem that the immorality of my failures outweighs the genius of my successes. However, I am a proud man, and I feel that each of my “failures” was a success in its own way. During our escape from my labyrinth, my son, Icarus, fell to his death. This tragedy occurred because metal wings of my own creation could not withstand the scorching heat of the sun and the salty sea spray of the ocean. Fortunately, my pair of wings survived. As much as it pains me to lose my only son, I had still managed to construct a set of metal wings that were capable of keeping a grown man aloft as he flew across the ocean. In the end, I even donated the wings to Apollo: god of the skies.
Hello fellow people! Yes it is I, Phaethon the son of Helios and Clymene. I understand it is indeed impressive hearing from a demigod, the son of the sun-god, but you must know I didn’t always know who my father was or what he was capable of until later on in my life. When I did, however, I wasted no time in finding him. His control and importance excited me immensely and I could not help myself from abusing this power. For when I asked him for a favor, which he granted immediately, I asked for a wish that was too great for even me to handle-to ride the sun chariot across the sky. Once I grabbed hold of the reins, the powerful horses drug us across the sky, only to come too close to Earth, scorching it. This was when the great Zeus stepped in, finding the situation to be dangerous. So what did he do you ask? He threw a thunderbolt directly at me, killing me instantly. Falling into the Eridanus River, it was my wonderful sisters, the Heliades, who mourned for my death, and whose tears turned into amber as they transformed into poplar trees. Maybe in the future, I will learn to think before my insatiable curiosity gets the better of me. Don’t forget to look for me among the stars, as the constellation Auriga next time you peer up into the nighttime sky.
Titan, greater than the Gods of Greek mythology. I descend from Gaia and Uranus; I was one of the first twelve. My name is Rhea, the mother of all Gods. My husband and brother Cronus, took our father's ablility to produce another heir, and we took the throne of our parents, begining the time of the Golden Years. Together, Cronus and I had six children: Hestia, Hades, Demeter, Poseidon, and Hera, who my husband swallowed in order not to be over thrown by his own children like he had done to our father. It was when our sixth child, Zues was to be born that I sought out my parents, and asked them to help me hide Zues so that Cronus wouldn't swallow him as well. So it was planned that I would give birth to Zues in Crete, but to fool my husband, I handed him a stone wrapped in clothes, which he swallowed immediately. I hid Zues on Earth in Crete on Mount Ida, and it was there he stayed until he was grown. Zues came back to myself and Cronus, and forced him to expel his brothers and sisters from his stomach. But in doing so, the youngest of my children became the oldest as their order was reversed when my husband regurgitated them from his stomach. It was after all of the babies that Cronus swallowed had be emptied from him, Zues released Cronus’ brothers, the Gigantes, the Hecatonkheires and the Cyclops, which gave him thunder and lightning Gaia had hidden. Zues rallied his siblings and they attacked along with the Gigantes, Hecatonkheires, and the Cyclops, and overthrew myself, my husband, and the rest of the original twelve Titans, ending our reign over the Golden Years.
Hello, my name is Pan. I am the god of sheperds, flocks, mountain wilds, hunting, and rustic music. Also, I am also the companion of the nymphs. I am connected to fertility and springtime, and some even consider me to be the god of theatrical criticism. My name comes from the Greek word paein which means 'to pasture.' I am depicted with the horns, legs, and tail of a goat. My father is Hermes. While most gods live on Mount Olympus, I live in the forest.
Hello! My name is Agamemnon. Looking back at it all, I regret a lot of decisions I have made in my life. Being a conceited cheater got me killed. I was such a bad person that I was willing to sacrifice my own daughter to save my fleet. My daughter is still alive, and I doubt she is too thrilled with me as a father figure.
I was the leader king in the Greek forces in the Trojan War. My problems started when I bragged to everyone by saying I was a better hunter than the hunting goddess, Artemis, which I still believe it to this day, but she got angry and caused my ships to be stuck in the middle of the ocean from winds. She would only let my fleet go if I sacrificed my daughter, Iphigenia. I agreed, and then Artemis threw me under the bus and saved my daughter by replacing her with a deer. Jerk.
After the destruction of Troy, I picked up a chick, even though I was married with several children. I took the girl home with me to Greece, only to find that my wife, Clytemnestra, got herself a boyfriend as well. They murdered me. Hypocrite.
y riches. Throughout my life gold has been my number one priority and nothing else mattered more to me. One day, some of my people found Silenus, a satry in my gardens. I recognized him and cared for him knowing he belonged to a friend of mine. In return, he gave me a reward, a wish. My wish was for everything I touch to turn to gold. I was astonished by my new power. It became known as the Midas Touch. Everything I touched turned to gold. It worked! My wish came true! At first, I was completely fascinated by this power, but after a while it became old. I could no longer eat or drink, for when I touched it, it turned to solid gold. My power was slowly loosing its appeal. To make matters worse I managed to turn my own daughter into gold. What had I got myself into? I prayed to Dionysus, the person who granted my wish, to reverse it. After seeing my struggles, Dionysus told me to wash my powers away in the river of Pactolus. I did as I was told and my powers were diminished. This is the greatest lesson I have ever learned and I hope you learn from my mistakes and don't take things for granted like I did.
Hey all, I’m Zeus, the God of Gods. I keep order and justice between mortals and immortals. I can control thunder, lightning and rain. I used to be considered the God of Weather and now I have become the God of Justice. You could consider me as the president or the king of the Gods. I am the son of Cronus. My father tried to swallow me and my other five siblings, Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon. Cronus did this to try and prevent us from overthrowing him. My mother Gaia saved me by wrapping a stone in rags in my place and I was sent to the island of Crete to be secretly raised. When I grew older I returned to my father and forced him to regurgitate my siblings. Once my father was defeated by my siblings and I, his universe was divided into three. Hades gained the underworld, Poseidon gained the sea and I, Zeus, gained the heavens. My best known son is the strongest mortal to ever live, Hercules. I now reside at Mount Olympus.
I, Helios, am Greek mythology's god of sun. My day consists of riding my sun chariot across the sky in a circling pattern around Oceanus. I had a son named Phaeton who had a bit of a juvenile delinquent problem(driving my chariot into the earth, how dare he!). People often get me confused with Apollo(god of light) but we are very seperate gods. I see and know all.
Salutations. I am the son of the river god, Cephissus and the nymph, Leriope. My mother was told that I would have a long life if I never saw my own reflection. The nymph, Echo, fell in love with me, but I rejected her. Aphroditē then punished me for my cruelty by making me fall in love with my own image reflected in waters of a spring. My fruitless attempts to approach my beautiful reflection led to my despair and I wasted away until I died. Then, the gods transformed me into the flower that bears my name. The narcissus flower.
I am the former lover of Pyramus. We had grown up living next to each other in adjoining houses. Our neighbors brought us together and we soon fell in love. The only problem was that our parents forbid us to see each other. The flame of our relationship was too strong to burn out so we found other ways to see each other. The walls of our rooms were next to each other and had an undiscovered crack so we talked and passed notes through it. One night when meeting up, we decided to sneak out of our village the next day. We agreed to meet up in a cave. I got to the cave before Pyramus so I through off my veil. A hungry lioness quickly grabbed my veil with her bloody mouth, ripping it to shreds. I hid because the lioness looked hungry. While I was hiding Pyramus came to our meeting spot and spotted my bloody, torn veil. He wept and killed himself with his sword. I, at the time, had just come out and went to find Pyramus to tell him what had happened. I stumbled upon his lifeless body. I knew that I could not spend my life without him so I had no choice but to kill myself. My wish was that Pyramus and I would be buried together. My parent granted me that wish and Pyramus and I are enjoying spending time together in the afterlife.
XOXOXO Thisbe
light, inaccessibility, virginity, and I have a preference for dwelling on high mountains and in sacred woods. I deeply care for the hunt, and all nature, and offer support to those who pray to me. Though I completely believe in chastity, I am seen as active in ensuring the succession of kings and in the preservation of mankind through the protection of childbirth.
