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
