Apollo In Greek Mythology

Greek gods are known as the belief of the greeks. Greeks believed that apollo made shadows. Greeks believed when they die they will meet the god of the underworld. Many greeks also believed that Zeus was god of all. This is what we call mythology. Today I will tell about a god named hephaestus. Hephaestus gave the greeks fire, and he would do it for the greeks to celebrate the gods. To the greeks he is a man of fire accidents and disasters. But they always remember he gave them ability to the greeks to forge, ability of strength, ability of fire for our olympics to start it.

Zeus was the god of thunder and lightning and basically he was like a god among gods. His symbols were lightning, an eagle, or an oak tree.

The Homeric Hymns portray Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis and Hestia as strong females who uphold their own beliefs; challenging the “typical” gender stereotypes of the time period. Women in antiquity were expected to follow and uphold certain societal rules, most of these rules emphasized the gender stereotypes that women were perceived as being. The use of the goddesses powers challenge these societal rules and ideas about women. Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, and Hestia are portrayed in the Homeric Hymns in contrast to ancient stereotypical roles of women being confined to the household; as a result this contrast emphasizes that women can showcase strength, intelligence, and power within society.

Athena’s parents were among the most powerful and skilled of the gods. Athena’s mother was Metis, and her father was Zeus. Her siblings include Artemis, Aphrodite, the Muses, the Graces, Ares, Apollo, Dionysus, Hebe, Hermes, Heracles, Helen of Troy, Hephaestus, Minos, Perseus, and Porus. Athena was Zeus’s favorite child, and she was the daughter of Zeus. She had sprung fully from Zeus’s head, fully grown and clothed in armor. Now, you might think “How did Athena come out of Zeus’s head?” Well, here is the answer to the question. Metis, being the goddess of crafty thought and prudence, she will give birth to a child more powerful than him and overthrow him. Zeus thought “This can’t happen!” Then he tricked Metis into a game of changing shapes. Halfway through playing the game, Metis forgot about her prudence and changed into a fly. Zeus opened his mouth and zip! He swallowed Metis. From then on, Metis guided him in Zeus’s head. It happened that Metis was going to have a child, and she was making armor and making a splendid robe for her child. For a while, Zeus suffered pounding headaches, and Hephaestus, being skilled at the tools, split open his father’s skull. Athena jumped out of Zeus’s head, thunder roared, and the gods stood in awe. There was this one time that made Athena very mad, when she turned one of the weavers Arachne, into a spider after the mortal girl insulted Athena and the Olympian gods. One of Athena’s pupils, Arachne, was

In spite of the fact that Homer’s Odyssey is an epic story of a man’s gallant journey, women play a huge part throughout. Their unique yet controversial personalities, intentions, and relationships are vital to the development of this epic and adventurous journey of Odysseus. The poem by Homer was written at a time when women had an inferior position in society, yet that didn’t stop them from being any less influential.

Ruled by the patriarchy in Greek society, women were left behind to attend to household needs while the men left home to fight or hunt. Outside of this societal rule were the Amazons, a race of women that were shaped to be the strongest and bravest warriors. During the Trojan war, the Trojans ask for the Amazons to aid them in battle and fight against the Greeks. Among these warrior women is Penthesileia, the female counterpart for the Greek hero Achilles in The Iliad. Despite the tragic death of both Achilles and Penthesileia, they both exemplify what it means to be a Greek hero.

These three women shape the story of Odysseus. The women in this story are aimed to the point, and are have very meaningful roles in Odysseus' life.
