Greek Mythology
In the whole of Western culture, the most fertile and rich collection of stories is found in Greek mythology. This is if the Bible is excluded. These stories are diverse; however, they try to share a similar outlook on life (Slater, 2014). The Greeks believed in living life to the fullest since they cherished it. Death was a fact that was inevitable to them. There were small groups that believed in the idea of resurrection, such as mystery cults. It was dismal to homer death. Life in its way was glorious, thrilling, and dangerous in certain ways. Perishing of an ordinary person was believed to be accompanied by that of the mightiest heroes and the great royal dynasties. However, this idea of death did not make the Greeks be sad because it contained the Babylonian scribes that were written of Gilgamesh. The response of Greeks was enthusiasm. According to them, the only answer to death was to make carve of the legend that is imperishable by magnificent deeds. Throughout the five centuries, that is, from Homer to Alexander the Great, the Greets directed much of their effort and attention on pursuing fame. The astonishing energy was used to pursue fame. They were a unique race since they were imaginative, hard-living, ambitious, restless, and tough. They were very touchy about their honor due to the lust for their reputation. Most of them were vengeful and feisty. All of these traits in abundance are very clear in their stories.
The Greek qualities are mirrored faithfully in the Olympian Gods. Some of these qualities are fornicating, banqueting, unforgiving deities who liked warring, and quarrelsome. They were shown in the form of humans with powerful and beautiful bodies. They were very pleasing to the eye and also humanly intelligible. These people had a strong admiration for intelligence, beauty, and strength. The man was the measure of all things according to them (Dowden, 2014).
There are a few mythologies that have managed to produce a similar wealth of heroes. This was because the Greeks had a very strong urge for fame. Their heroes had desirable characters. They were fighters and adventurers. They were also bold, clever, strong, fierce, and experienced. The accomplishments of these heroes were far beyond that of ordinary humans. Irrespective of being perfect, there were some failings. Some of them were ruined by the failings. Some of these failings are cruelty (that emerged from their success), over-ambitious, overweening pride, and rashness among others. Ambition was very intense in the Greek heroes. There those who aspired godlike powers. All these were a model of human excellence because they gave the youths in the society standards to imitate.
This same ambivalence is evident in the legend of the tragic dynasty. .

From Aphrodite to Zeus, THE GREEK GODS presents an unforgettable exploration of the mythic and monumental world of Greek deities. 25 September 2009 2 Greek Mythology
3. The Titans The Titans were a race of powerful deities that ruled during the legendary Golden age. Their role as Elder gods was overthrown by a race of younger gods, the Olympians which effected a mythological paradigm shift that the Greeks may have borrowed from the Ancient near East. 25 September 2009 3 Greek Mythology
4. Titans There are twelve Titans from their first literary appearance, in Hesiod: The six male Titans are known as the Titanes, and the females as the Titanides: Ocean and fruitful earth, sun and moon, memoryand natural law. The twelve first-generation Titans were ruled by the youngest, Cronos (Saturn), who overthrew their father, Oranos('Sky'), at the urgings of their mother, Gaia('Earth'). These second-generation Titans include the children of Hyperion (Helios, Eos, and Selene), the daughters of Coeus(Leto and Asteria), and the sons of lapetus (Prometheus), Epimetheus, , and Menoetius). 25 September 2009 4 Greek Mythology
5. Titans The twelve Titans precede the Hecatonchires (100 Handers) and Cyclopes as the oldest set of children of Uranus, and Gaia: Uranus kept all of Gaia's children trapped within her womb, and Gaia groaned from the strain. Eventually, Cronus (Kronos), her youngest child at the time, volunteered to set upon his father, castrating him with a sickle, thereby freeing Gaia's children and setting himself up as king of the titans with Rhea as his wife and queen. 25 September 2009 Greek Mythology 5 RheaCronus' wife, one of the Titans.
6. Z e u s 25 September 2009 Greek Mythology 6 From all the children, only Zeus was saved from his father: Rhea gave Cronus a stone in swaddling clothes in his place, and placed the infant Zeus in Crete to be guarded by the Kouretes. A version of the myth was that Zeus was raised by the nymphAmalthea, who hid Zeus by dangling him by a rope from a tree so that he was suspended between the earth, the sea, and the sky, all of which were ruled by his father, Cronus. Still other versions of the tale say that Zeus was raised by his grandmother, Gaia.Once Zeus reached adulthood, he subdued Cronus by wile rather than force, using a potion concocted with the help of Metis, goddess of prudence, to force Cronus to vomit up Zeus's siblings. A war between younger and older gods commenced, in which Zeus was aided by the Hecatonchires and Cyclops, who had once again beenfreed from Tartarus. Zeus won after a long struggle, and cast many of the Titans down into Tartarus.
7. Primordial Deities1 Aether God of the upper air. Chaos The nothingness from which all else sprang. Chronos or Chronus The Keeper of Time.

Hemera Goddess of daylight and the sun. Zephyrus God of the west wind. 25 September 2009 Greek Mythology 7

He banished his children, the Cyclopes and the Hecatonchires, to the underworld because they did not please him. 25 September 2009 Greek Mythology 8
9. Aquatic Deities1 Poseidon(Latin: Neptune) was the god of the sea and, as Earth- Shaker," of earthquakes. Linear B tablets show that Poseidon was venerated at Pylos and Thebes in pre-Olympian Bronze age Greece, but he was integrated into the Olympian gods as the brother of Zeus and Hades. Poseidon had many children. There is a Homeric hymn to Poseidon, who was the protector of many Hellenic cities, although he lost the contest for Athens to Athena. Poseidon ruled over the Mediterranean. Oceanus was personified as a Titan, a son of Uranus and Gaia. In Hellenistic and Roman mosaics, this Titan was often depicted as having the upper body of a muscular man with a long beard and horns (often represented as the claws of a crab), and the lower torso of a serpent. Oceanus' consort is his sister Tethys, and from their union came the ocean nymphs, also known as the three-thousand Oceanids, and all the rivers of the world, fountains, and lakes. 25 September 2009 Greek Mythology 9
10. Aquatic Deities2 Cetusalso called Ceto or Cetea was a hideous sea monster, a daughter of Gaia and Pontus. Her husband was Phorcys and they had many children, collectively known as the Phorcydes or Phorcydides. In Greek art, Cetus was drawn as a serpentine fish. Cetus also gave name to the constellation Cetus. Nereuswas the eldest son of Pontus (the Sea) and Gaia (the Earth), a Titan who (with Doris) fathered the Nereids, with whom Nereus lived in the Aegean Sea. Glaucuswas a Greek sea-god. Glaucus began life as a mortal fisherman living in the Boeotian city of Anthedon. He discovered by accident a magical herb which could bring the fish he caught back to life, and decided to try eating it. The herb made him immortal, but also caused him to grow fins instead of arms and a fish's tail instead of legs, forcing him to dwell forever in the sea. Glaucus was a son of Nereus, he assisted Menelaus on his homeward journey with good advice. He also helped the Argonauts. 25 September 2009 Greek Mythology 10
11. Aquatic Deities3 Silver-footed Thetisdisposer or "placer" is encountered as a sea nymph, one of the fifty Nereids, daughters of the ancient one of the seas with shape-shifting abilities who survives in the historical vestiges of most later Greek myths as Proteus (whose name suggests the "first", the "primordial" or the "firstborn"). While most extant material about Thetis concerns her role as mother of Achilles and, as such, she is largely a creature of poetic fancy rather than cultworship in the historical period, there is one notable exception. In a variant of the myth, Thetis tried to make Achilles invulnerable by dipping him in the waters of the Styx (the river of Hades). However, the heel by which she held him was not touched by the Styx's waters, and failed to be protected. 25 September 2009 Greek Mythology 11
12. Aquatic Deities4 Amphitritewas a sea-goddess. Under the influence of the Olympian pantheon, she became merely the consort of Poseidon, and was further diminished by poets to a symbolic representation of the sea. Tethysdaughter of Uranus and Gaia was an archaic Titaness and aquatic sea goddess, invoked in classical Greek poetry but no longer venerated in cult. Tethys was both sister and wife of Oceanus. She was mother of the chief rivers of the world known to the Greeks, such as the Nile, the Alpheus, the Maeander, and about three thousand daughters called the Oceanids. Considered as an embodiment of the waters of the world she also may be seen as a counterpart of Thalassa, the embodiment of the sea. 25 September 2009 Greek Mythology 12
13. Aquatic Deities 5 Tritonis a mythological Greek god, the messenger of the deep. He is the son of Poseidon, god of the sea, and Amphitrite, goddess of the sea, whose herald he is. He is usually represented as a merman, having the upper body of a human and the tail of a fish, "sea-hued", according to Ovid "his shoulders barnacled with sea-shells". Triton's special attribute was a twisted conch shell, on which he blew like a trumpet to calm or raise the waves. Its sound was so terrible, that when loudly blown, it put the giants to flight, who imagined it to be the roar of a mighty wild beast. According to Hesiod’s Theogony,Triton dwelt with his parents in a golden palace in the depths of the sea; Homer places his seat in the waters off Aegae. The story of the Argonauts places his home on the coast of Lybia. Ophioneus- In some versions of GreekMythology, Ophion "serpent", also called Ophioneus ruled the world with Eurynome before the two of them were cast down by Cronus and Rhea. 25 September 2009 Greek Mythology 13
14. Aquatic Deities6 Proteusis an early sea-god; one of several deities whom Homer calls the “Old Man of the Sea" whose name suggests the "first", as protogonos is the "primordial" or the "firstborn". He became the son of Poseidon in the Olympian theogony, or of Nerus and Doris, or of Oceanus and a Naiad, and was made the herdsman of Poseidon's seals, the great bull seal at the center of the harem. He can foretell the future, but, in a mytheme familiar from several cultures, will change his shape to avoid having to; he will answer only to someone who is capable of capturing him. He is "versatile", "mutable", "capable of assuming many forms". "Protean" has positive connotations of flexibility, versatility and adaptability. 25 September 2009 Greek Mythology 14
15. Aquatic Deities7 Phorcys(also Phorkys, a primordial seagod, generally cited as the son of Pontus and Gaia. According to the Orphic hymns, Phorcys, Cronos and Rhea were the eldest offspring of Oceanusand Thetys. Pontus(or Pontos: "sea") was an ancient, pre- Olympian sea-god, one of the protogenoi, the "first- born". Pontos was the son of Gaia, the Earth: Hesiod says that Gaia brought forth Pontos out of herself, without coupling. The Oceanidswere the three thousand daughters of the Titans Oceanus and Thetys. One of these many daughters was also said to have been the consort of the god Poseidon, typically named as Amphitrite. Each was the patronessof a particular spring, river, ocean, lake, pond, pasture, flower or cloud. 25 September 2009 Greek Mythology 15
