Classical Greek Mythology
1999
Many people have writtenon the exploits of the
mythical gods and goddesses, and titans some of whom existed
in teh imagination of the ancient Greeks, although they once
existed as humans who probably had extraordinary lives.
These stories have being passed down from generation with
slight variations. Greek mythology, in its present-day sense, is
a means of understanding the lives of the "Titans". It also
teahes us to learn from the mistakes made bu the gods. As
unlike many other religions (like Judaism and Hiduism), the
gods have human characters and behaviour, but posses super
human strenghs such as Atlas who was punished and told to
carry the world on his shoulders. Below is a list of the popular
gods. Greek names Roman names Aphrodite Venus Apollo
Apollo Ares Mars Artemis Diana Asclepius Aesculapius
Athena Minerva Cronus Saturn Demeter Dionysus Bachus
Eros Cupid Gaea Terra Hephaestus Vulcan Many variations of
the tales exist due to the different writeups by poets like
Homer and Hestiod. As this is just a short description of the
proposed entry, the website promised to have interactive
games, information on all the gods, goddesses, humans and
Nymphs that existed in the mythical land of Olympus
