    DIONYSOS (Dionysus) was the Olympian god of

    wine, vegetation, pleasure, festivity, madness and


    wild frenzy. He was depicted as either an older,
    bearded god or an effeminate, long-haired youth.
    His attributes included the thyrsos (a pine-cone
    tipped staff), a drinking cup and a crown of ivy.
    HERMES ( Hermes) was the ancient Greek god of
    trade, wealth, luck, fertility, animal husbandry,
    sleep, language, thieves, and travel. One of the
    cleverest and most mischievous of the Olympian
    gods, he was the patron of shepherds, invented
    the lyre, and was, above all, the herald and
    messenger of Mt.
    APOLLO (Apollo) was a god in Greek mythology,
    and one of the Twelve Olympians. He was the son
    of Zeus and Leto and the twin brother of
    Artemis. He was the god of healing, medicine and
    archery, and of music and poetry. He was the
    leader of the Muses. He also was a god of
    prophecy, and his Oracle at Delphi was very
    important.
    Often referred to as the “Father of Gods and
    men”, he is a sky god who controls lightning (often
    using it as a weapon) and thunder. Zeus is king of
    Mount Olympus, the home of Greek gods, where
    he rules the world and imposes his will onto gods
    and mortals alike.
    Ares is the god of war, one of the Twelve
    Olympian gods and the son of Zeus and Hera. In
    literature Ares represents the violent and
    physical untamed aspect of war, which is in
    contrast to Athena who represents military
    strategy and generalship as the goddess of
    intelligence.
    Artemis. Artemis, in Greek religion, the goddess
    of wild animals, the hunt, and vegetation, and of
    chastity and childbirth; she was identified by the
    Romans with Diana. Artemis was the daughter
    of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo.
    Among the rural populace, Artemis was the
    favourite goddess.
    Poseidon was the god of the sea, earthquakes and
    horses. Although he was officially one of the
    supreme gods of Mount Olympus, he spent most
    of his time in his watery domain. Poseidon was
    brother to Zeus and Hades.
    Greek Goddess of Agriculture, Fertility, Sacred
    Law and the Harvest. Demeter is the goddess of
    the harvest and presides over grains and the
    fertility of the earth. Although she was most
    often referred to as the goddess of the harvest,
    she was also goddess of sacred law and the cycle
    of life and death.
    Greek God of the Dead and King of the
    Underworld. Hades was the god of the
    underworld and the name eventually came to also
    describe the home of the dead as well. He was
    the oldest male child of Cronus and Rhea.
    Goddess of wisdom, war and the crafts, and
    favorite daughter of Zeus, Athena was, perhaps,
    the wisest, most courageous, and certainly the
    most resourceful of the Olympian gods.
