other than Zeus, should ever hold the honor of kingship. From Metis, wise
children were destined to born, first a daughter, Athena, Endowed with
courage and prudent counsel, equal to her father. But then, after that, she

Apollo:
Apollo: the god of light
What is Apollo's weakness? Apollo, the Greek god, is known for his many
strengths, but he does have a few weaknesses. His main weakness is
his unlucky love life. He had numerous love interests, but many of them
met tragic ends or did not return his affection.
the god who made men aware of their own guilt and purified them of it;
who presided over religious law and the constitutions of cities; and who
communicated with mortals through prophets and oracles his knowledge
of the future and the will of his father, Zeus (Roman: Jupiter). Even the
gods feared him, and only his father and his mother, Leto (Roman:
Latona), could easily endure his presence.
Artemis:
Artemis: goddess of the hunt
Artemis was an Ancient Greek Goddess known for her supreme hunting
skills and expertise. Specifically, she was the goddess of the hunt, the
wilderness, wild animals, the moon and chastity.
Artemis was the daughter of Zeus, the King of the Gods; and she is one of
the twelve major Olympian Gods. She thus possessed the powers of the
Olympian Gods which include super-human strength; immortality; eternal
youth; and the ability to bless and curse. Moreover, as the Goddess of the
hunt, she was extremely observant and had exceptional strategic skills.
As a goddess of the hunt, Artemis took pleasure in roaming wild places
and in hunting wild animals. The bow and arrow were her signature
weapons.
Her primary weaknesses are her lack of mercy and her pride. There
are several versions of the death of her friend, Orion, but all seem to lead
back to Artemis being his killer, either directly or indirectly.
Vigor was another of Artemis’ character traits. She was the firstborn
of her mother Leto’s twins, preceding her brother by several days. When
Apollo emerged, she assisted her mother with his delivery, becoming the
champion of pregnant mothers. Her mother’s protectiveness led her to
commit crimes against another mother, revealing her weakness of a
lack of mercy. Artemis’ strengths and weaknesses often coexist, creating
paradoxical stories of her doings.
Ares:
Ares: god of war and courage
Powers of Ares Ares was the Greek god of war, and he personified the
passion for destruction and bloodshed. He was considered to be one of the
most bloodthirsty gods, and his superpowers were mostly related to
warfare. For example, he carried with him weaponry blessed by the gods,
such as spear, shield and sword.
For example, he carried with him weaponry blessed by the gods, such as
spear, shield and sword. His combat skills were enhanced beyond mortal
capabilities; he was endowed with absolute speed and stamina as well as
supernatural senses. These weapons at his disposal helped him lay waste
to his enemies. Furthermore, he could easily manipulate whole armies and
violence-induced bloody conflicts broke out at his will.
Unlike his Roman counterpart, Mars, he was never very popular, and his
worship was not extensive in Greece. He represented the distasteful
aspects of brutal warfare and slaughter. His fellow gods and even his
parents were not fond of him.
Ares’ most glaring attribute (perhaps weakness) was his crude and
uncontrollable urge for violence. Because he was not so much
endowed with strategic thinking or wisdom, he relied on mostly his
strength and love.
Hephaestus:
Hephaestus: the god of fire, metalworking, stone masonry, forges and the
art of sculpture.
Hephaestus has to walk with a walker because he broke both of his legs
after being thrown off Mount Olympus by Hera. Hephaestus can be
underestimated due to his size and form; compared to the other gods he is
quite small. He can also be crafty and vindictive. Forgiveness doesn't come
easily to Hephaestus, so instead he chooses the path of revenge. In the
story of Hera and Hephaestus, Hephaestus makes an inescapable chair for
Hera in order to get revenge for her throwing him off of Mount Olympus.
Hephaestus has always been a lightweight drinker since he was very
young. This comes into effect when Dionysus and Hephaestus meet. All
gods and goddess's have weaknesses, Hephaestus was born with them. It
affects his everyday life and relationships with the other gods/goddesses.
Aphrodite:
Aphrodite: goddess of sexual love and beauty
Powers:
4. Magic Belt (or Girdle): Another tool that added to her divine
capabilities.
Weaknesses:
But Aphrodite’s personality was not limited to love and harmony. She had
flaws. For example, she was known for her jealousy, vanity, and fierce
competitiveness. Her seductive allure and vanity caused rivalries among
gods and mortals, highlighting her penchant for using her powers in a
destructive way.
Hermes:

Dionysus:
Dionysus: the Olympian god of wine, vegetation, pleasure, festivity,
madness and wild frenzy.
Dionysos was a son of Zeus and the princess Semele of Thebes.
Powers:
Dionysus's Powers Dionysus holds power over the very essence of life,
death, and the process of rebirth. His control over nature and
agriculture, where he possesses the extraordinary capacity to make vines
burgeon and thrive, showcases his role as a bringer of life and a nurturer
of the natural world.
Weaknesses:
Hestia:
Hestia is the Greek goddess of the hearth
Hestia’s name means “hearth” or “fireplace,” and her status shows how
important the hearth was in the social and religious life of Ancient Greeks.
Making and preserving fire was both essential and difficult for more
primitive societies, which made the household fire a sacred element at a
very early stage of history. In later days, Hestia became its embodiment.
Powers:
Weakness:
Her strengths: She was constant, calm, gentle, and supportive of the
family and home. Her weaknesses: Cool emotionally, a little too calm,
but could defend herself when necessary. Affairs and relationships: Though
she was courted as a potential wife or lover by Poseidon and Apollo,
Hestia, like the Greek goddess Artemis, chose to remain a virgin.
Hercules:
The son of Zeus and the mortal woman Alcmene
Demi-god
Centaur
myths
In Greek mythology, the Moirae are the three goddesses of fate. Clotho,
Lachesis and Atropos. The three sisters weave the fate of humans and
gods alike. Neither human nor God has the power to influence or question
their judgment and actions! Clotho, the youngest one, spins the thread of
life; she is the very origin, the creation of life itself and her thread is spun
upon the birth of a person! Lachesis, the second sister, is the one that
allocates the fate of people during life. The name comes from the Greek
word ‘λαγχάνω’ which means to obtain from lots. In that sense, one can
understand that their destiny is chosen out of a myriad of possibilities. It is
said that Lachesis measures the thread of life with her rod, determining its
length and nature. The last sister of fate is Atropos, the unturning. Atropos
is the cutter of the thread of life and with her shears she determines how
someone will die.

Pandora’s Box
Echo was a wood Nymph, cursed by Hera to not be able to speak properly,
but rather repeat the last words addressed to her. One day, she was
wandering around the mountains, until she saw a handsome young man
that no one could resist his charm, Narcissus. The Nymph fell in love with
the youth, but could not speak to him because of Hera’s curse. So, she
was following him from the shadows, silently and in love, waiting patiently
for the proper moment. At some point, Narcissus felt her presence and
asked “Is anybody here?”, to which Echo replied “here”. A confusing and
repetitive conversation followed until Narcissus called her to come out and
make love with him. But, as soon as Echo stepped out, Narcissus told her
that he’d rather die than give himself to a wood nymph. Echo,
heartbroken, took refuge in a cave and lost her appetite for food or water.
After a while, poor Echo started growing skinny from starvation until her
body disappeared, living only dust and her voice. Nemesis, the goddess of
revenge against those who show hubris, decided to punish Narcissus for
the treatment of poor Echo. The goddess made Narcissus fall in love with
his own reflection that he saw in a pond near Echo’s cave. Narcissus could
not leave his own reflection out of love and starved to death, like Echo.
But, before he dies, Narcissus cried out to his reflection “Farewell, dear
boy. Beloved in vain.” Echo’s voice repeated his last words from the cave
as Narcissus drew his last breath. To this day, Echo still repeats the last
words or phrases in caves or labyrinths.
