Zeus

See I had to start with Zeus. If you don’t know who he is let me explain. He was the king of all the greek gods, and is basically that one guy who sets alarms on his throne if someone unauthorized sits on it. Zeus was the god of lightning and basically the boss.

If you angered him, well either get struck down by lightning or prepare to beg for mercy at his temple. If you were a god? Welp get ready for 10 years of prohibition and get turned into a mortal. See the gods call people who were not Gods and were not immortal, mortals. Me, you, your mom, your dad, and your brother are all mortals, just like everyone else on earth. If you don’t believe you are a mortal and can only live a few years or hundred, then congrats! You are either a God, Titan, or Monster, see do you get it now? Everyone else earned something cool like lighting bolts or tridents or whatever gods have to defend themselves.

See? You learn something new every day! Zeus also had this bad habit of cheating on his wife Hera, but the point is every time Zeus cheated it wasn’t really him who got in trouble, it was either his wife, or his kids. One time, Zeus fell in love with this girl named Leto, when Hera found out she went crazy mad, and told all the lands that if they let Leto give birth on the land that was rooted to the ground, than they would be punished for eternity. So all the lands forbade Leto to give birth and sent her on her way. By that time Leto was in labor with two twins and believe me is torture. So Leto went to the Oracle of Delphi and asked for her advice, but at that time Apollo hadn’t been born and the oracle was conquered by this dude, or should I say this crazy big snake that chased Leto all over the place, until she found this boat and hastily jumped in, then she had this crazy thought, what if I could find The Isle of Delos? So she thought, well it’s better to try, plus this really hurts. So she set off, after 9 days and 9 nights she finally found Delos, and prepared to step on.

Delos spoke up, “Hey should we let her on? Hera would go crazy.”

then the Oceanus god spoke up, “Hey, Hera said rooted to ground, and Delos isn’t rooted to the ground.”

“Okay, fine” Grumbled Delos “Let her come on shore”

So then Leto climbed on and gave birth to Apollo and Artemis. And they became one of the twelve olympians we will be covering in the next chapter.

Poseidon

Seriously, even though he’s Zeus’s brother we don’t need to put him second all the time.

Hera

Allow me to admit something. Hera was seriously HOT, not like the kind of hot you would feel at the beach, hot hot, like you like her. But her temper was also hot, and if you angered her (for example. cheating which Zeus just doesn't understand in). She was also queen of the gods and also Zeus's wife. If you read the first chapter you'll know. Heras kind of a psycho when it. comes to Zeus cheating on her.

Hera kinda has an interesting story, see Zeus actually had to try really hard to get Hera to marry him, and never ended up keeping his marriage vow. That’s just the kind of person Zeusy is.

There’s not much to say about Hera, all I can say is that she is the Goddess of Marriages and childbirth. One of her symbols are the dove and peacock. Apparently Zeus tricked Hera into marrying him by turning into a white dove. Lets just say Hera was not pleased.

Poseidon

This guy, is probably the most interesting person you’ll ever meet, see, he’s the type of person where he might seem so kind and friendly at first then the next second he’s getting mad and throwing tidal waves at your country or something like that.

Although being a son or daughter might’ve been rewarding considering that he was one of the big three.

Sons or daughters of Poseidon weren’t typically popular because they weren’t actually allowed to have relationships with their children after they born, so the big three (Zeus,Poseidon,Hades) except Zeus had only one or two human children.

I guess Poseidon is considered one of the calmer gods since you don’t know what types of crazed punishments some of the gods could come up with, Poseidon didn’t come up with any super crazy punishments but don’t ask me I’m not a professional on Greek gods. But let’s see what Hades can come up with.

Hades

In the depths of the underworld, Hades rules with all the charm of a grumpy cat who just had its nap interrupted. He’s the CEO of the afterlife, managing an eternity of paperwork, lost souls, and the occasional rebellious demigod trying to score a discount on their stay. Despite being the god of the dead, Hades is surprisingly lively when it comes to complaining about his job. He spends his days brooding in the shadows, wondering why he got stuck with the short end of the underworld stick. Rumor has it that even Cerberus, his three-headed hound, rolls its eyes whenever Hades goes on one of his rants about paperwork being the true torture of the damned. When Persephone isn’t around to lighten the mood, Hades can be found sulking in the corner of his cavernous domain, contemplating whether a vacation to the sunlit surface might be a good idea. Perhaps he just needs a break from the eternal grind – a chance to trade his pitchfork for a tropical drink and retire from the “God of the Dead” gig for a week or two.

Hermes

In the divine lineup of Olympian deities, Hermes is the celestial prankster, the speedy messenger, and the ultimate multitasker. With winged sandals and a mischievous glint in his eye, Hermes is the celestial equivalent of a cosmic courier with a flair for mischief that even Zeus himself would raise an eyebrow at. Hermes, the son of Zeus and Maia, burst onto the mythical scene with a zeal for adventure and a pair of winged sandals that put every modern express delivery service to shame. If there were celestial pizza deliveries on Mount Olympus, you can bet Hermes would be the first to offer ‘guaranteed delivery in under five lightning bolts or your ambrosia back!’

Known as the “Divine Herald,” Hermes had a hotline to the gods, delivering messages with the speed of a cosmic FedEx. His winged sandals weren’t just for show; they were the ancient equivalent of divine sneakers, allowing him to zip around the heavens faster than a shooting star. Picture Hermes doing celestial parkour while delivering Zeus’s proclamations – “Now introducing express lightning bolts, for when you absolutely, positively need to smite someone ASAP!” But Hermes wasn’t just about divine deliveries; he was the ultimate trickster among the gods. Forget Loki and his Nordic antics; Hermes brought a Mediterranean flavor to divine pranks. He once stole Apollo’s sacred cattle, turning them backward to confuse the god of prophecy. Imagine the celestial chuckles as Apollo tried to decipher his own oracular cows.

Hermes wasn’t just the prankster; he was also the celestial multitasker, juggling more responsibilities than an overworked intern. As the god of commerce, he presided over trade, merchants, and thieves. Yes, even the underworld had a touch of Hermes in its black-market dealings. No wonder he became the celestial patron saint of side hustles. In art and literature, Hermes often appears with a mischievous smile, a winged cap, and a staff known as the caduceus – the ancient symbol of commerce and negotiation. It’s as if he’s saying, “If you can’t laugh in the face of divine bureaucracy, you’re not living your godly life right.” His legendary charm and wit made him the celestial equivalent of the ancient stand-up comedian, with Mount Olympus as his stage and the gods as his audience.

Hermes’s influence wasn’t confined to the celestial realms. The ancient Greeks, recognizing the importance of swift communication, adopted him as the patron of messengers and travelers. If they had Twitter back then, you can bet Hermes would have had the most followers, dishing out divine wisdom and celestial memes in 280 characters or less. Hermes was more than just the divine equivalent of Amazon Prime with wings; he was the charismatic and mischievous force that brought laughter to Mount Olympus. As the swift-footed prankster and multitasking messenger, Hermes showed that even in the divine realms, a sense of humor could lighten the weight of celestial responsibilities. So, the next time you see a shooting star streaking across the night sky, remember – it might just be Hermes on another cosmic delivery, leaving a trail of celestial chuckles in his wake.

Apollo&Artemis

Apollo, the celestial charmer of Mount Olympus, is the divine embodiment of sunbeams and smooth talk. With hair that shines brighter than a solar flare and a lyre that could give any modern rockstar a run for their money, Apollo is the god of music, poetry, and prophecy. Picture him strumming his lyre, hosting divine concerts on Mount Olympus, and every time he hits a high note, the sun itself decides to stay up just a little longer. As the god of prophecy, Apollo’s oracles were the ancient equivalent of celestial horoscopes – you might not believe them, but you can’t resist checking what the gods have to say about your future. And let’s not forget his archery skills; Apollo’s aim is so impeccable that even Cupid would take notes, though he might be too busy shooting heart-shaped arrows to notice.

On the other side of the divine sibling duo is Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, wilderness, and moonlit mischief. She’s the original nature enthusiast, probably the only deity with a preferred camping spot on Mount Olympus. Artemis is the celestial trailblazer, rocking a quiver of arrows and a “don’t mess with nature” attitude. Her divine deer squad and woodland creatures are basically the OG furry companions. Artemis, a skilled huntress, could give Katniss Everdeen a run for her money in an ancient version of the Hunger Games. And let’s talk about her moonlight parties; Artemis’s lunar shindigs are the stuff of mythological legend. You haven’t experienced a party until you’ve danced under the moonlight with the goddess of the hunt leading the celestial conga line. Just don’t forget to respect the wilderness; Artemis might be the goddess of the hunt, but she’s also the guardian of eco-friendly festivities.

Aphrodite

Aphrodite, the celestial queen of love and beauty, struts around Mount Olympus with a divine charisma that would make even Cleopatra blush. With her radiant smile and hair that puts shampoo commercials to shame, Aphrodite is the ultimate goddess of allure. If she had an Instagram account, it would have more followers than the combined pantheon, and every post would be hashtagged #GoddessGoals. The goddess of love had a way of turning heads even among the immortals, and it wasn’t just her divine charm – rumor has it that when she walked on the shores of Paphos, flowers sprang up from the earth in a desperate attempt to get noticed.

Aphrodite’s birth was the stuff of divine drama. Emerging from the foamy embrace of the sea, she didn’t miss the opportunity for a grand entrance. It was like the first season finale of a celestial reality show – “The Birth of Love.” Picture the gods on the edge of their thrones, throwing popcorn and ambrosia at the unfolding spectacle. Even Zeus, the king of the gods, couldn’t resist asking, “Is this a romantic comedy or a divine drama?” As the goddess of love, Aphrodite had a knack for matchmaking that rivaled any ancient Tinder. Her celestial dating service was the original “Love Island,” with gods and goddesses vying for her expertise in matters of the heart. Even the famously stoic Hades couldn’t resist her charms – talk about turning the underworld into a hotbed of passion.

Now, let’s not forget the infamous golden apple incident. Eris, the goddess of discord, threw the ultimate divine shade by tossing a golden apple into the crowd on Mount Olympus, labeled “For the Fairest.” And guess who got caught in the celestial crossfire? Yup, our radiant Aphrodite. The ensuing beauty pageant among Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite was like the first-ever Miss Olympus contest. Picture the goddesses strutting their stuff, each vying for the title of “Fairest of Them All,” with Zeus playing the role of the perplexed judge. Aphrodite, with her irresistible charm, won the golden apple and secured her spot as the ultimate beauty queen. The whole affair was a divine version of a reality TV show finale, with drama, beauty, and a touch of divine comedy.

Aphrodite’s love stories were the original romantic comedies of Mount Olympus. From the tempestuous affair with Ares to the heartwarming connection with the mortal Adonis, her romantic escapades kept the divine gossip columns buzzing. It’s like she had a celestial subscription to “Love Weekly,” with her escapades being the hottest headlines. If there were a celestial rom-com film festival, Aphrodite would be the leading lady in every blockbuster, with Cupid as her adorable sidekick shooting heart-tipped arrows at unsuspecting gods and mortals alike.

Aphrodite wasn’t just the goddess of love and beauty; she was the celestial mastermind behind the greatest love stories and divine dramas on Mount Olympus. With her enchanting allure and a sense of humor that could rival any stand-up deity, Aphrodite turned love into the ultimate cosmic comedy. So, the next time you feel a surge of love or catch a whiff of a fragrant rose, remember – Aphrodite’s divine touch might just be at play, orchestrating another celestial love story with a wink and a sprinkle of divine charm.
