He was terrible and majestic1 , and his march2 shook the world. Of all the major gods at Olympus, he was the most hateful, loving struggle and war and ever thirsty for blood .On the other hand he signified3 courage and victory in battle, and was devoutly4 worshipped by soldiers going to war. Prayers were addressed to him before the war and spoils5 presented at his altar after it. He was the one god who ever had to submit6 to the power of his inferiors. At one time lack of tact and good judgment led to his shame. He was fighting with two giants, and finding himself no match for7 the two monstrous creatures, laid down his arms and was imprisoned in chains. He was set free in the end by the artful Hermes, but not before8 he had suffered all the humiliations. He was as thoughtless as he was unkind. A son of Poseidon’s, attempting to kidnap his daughter, made the war-god unhappy, so that he killed the youth without
hesitation. In retaliation, Poseidon dragged him before a group of Athenian judges for trial. The court was held on a hill outside Athens. Ares presented his case and was declared innocent. The hill was ever after called Areopagus, the hill of Ares", and the judges received the names of Areopagitae Hermes Immediately after he was born, Hermes was appointed god of thieves at Olympus. And a thief he became when he was barely a few hours old. Feeling hungry, the infant left his cradle after nightfall to hunt for food. He chanced upon Apollo's oxen grazing on a meadow and drove a number of these animals away, tying tree branches around the feet of the cattle to make their footsteps dim. He killed two of these oxen and had a magnificent" dinner. Then he slipped back into his little bed in his mothers house. When apollo came to question him, Hermes pretended to be innocent. The angry sun god dragged him up to Olympus, where he was accused of the stealing and made to return the cattle to their master. In reconciliation little Hermes gave Apollo the lyre he had made out of a tortoise shell, and Apollo was so pleased with the gift that he presented his little brother with a magic stick. The stick could pacify hostile forces In due time, Hermes was appointed messenger of Zeus and the gods. The gods equipped him with a pair of winged sandals and winged cap to enable him to travel swifter than sight. It was Hermes who took the messages of Zeus to the world below Hermes was a patronof travelers. His busts and statues were set up as dividing marks at crossroads or street corners to guide passers by. The Hermes, as these statues were called, were regarded as sacred, and their mutilationwas sacrilegious and punishable by death. The destruction of the numerous Hermes within the city of Athens caused a terrible excitement among its citizens that it might e no exaggeration to state that it changed the whole course of historic development of Athens Poseidon(Neptune) Poseidon was son of Cronus and rhea, and brother of Zeus. After the war with the Titans he became the mighty and majestic god of the ruling all the waters around the earth. He was considered to have the greatest power next to Zeus Poseidon ruled his kingdom with cold shaking. He could call up all the big winds and stir up or calm down the stormy oceans. With a trident in his hand he flew across the waves in a carriage drawn by horses with bronze hoofs and golden hairs Although he had a seat on Olympus, he lived, most of the time, in his shining golden palace in the deeps of the oceans

Poseidon (Neptune) Poseidon was son of Cronus and Rhea, and brother of Zeus. After the war with the Titans, he became the mighty and majestic god of the sea, ruling all the waters around the earth. He was considered to have the greatest power next to Zeus. Poseidon ruled his kingdom with cold shaking. He could call up all the big winds and stir up or calm down the stormy oceans. With a trident in his hand, he flew across the waves in a carriage drawn by horses with bronze hoofs and golden hairs. Although he had a seat on Olympus, he lived, most of the time, in his shining golden palace in the deeps of the oceans
Poseidon was ambitious and aggressive. Unhappy with the part of power given to him, he planned to throw down Zeus from his high position. The plan did not come off, and he was sent away to serve a human being on earth. With the help of apollo he built the famous walls of Troy for king Laomedon. On one occasion he argued with Athena over the naming of the new city Athens and was forced to give in to goddess of wisdom. On another he entered into a bitter dispute with apollo over king of corinth and won the case in the end Poseidons loves produced strange children. His wife bore him the children whe were half man and half-fish in form. When demeter did not like his attention and changed herself into a horse. shameless Poseidon turned himself into a horse to continue his seeking.

Poseidon robbed Theophane, a beautiful maiden, and taking her to an island changed her into a sheep and himself into a ram. as a result the golden-fleeced ram came into being Hephaestus Hephaestus, the god of fire, especially the blacksmith's fire, was the patron of all craftsmen, principally those working with metals. He was worshiped predominantly in Athens, but also in other manufacturing centers. He was the god of volcanoes. Later the fire within them represented the smith's furnace. Hephaestus was associated with Mount Etna", which is on the island of Sicily. Known as the lame god, Hephaestus was born weak and crippled. Displeased by the sight of her son, Hera threw Hephaestus from Mount Olympus, and he fell for a whole day before landing in the sea. Nymphs rescued him d took him to Lemnos, where the people of the sland cared for him. But other versions say Zeus threw him from Mount Olympus after Hephaestus had sided with his mother in a quarrel. This legend says that Hephaestus fell for nine days and nine nights, and he landed on the island of Lemnos. It was on Lemnos where he built his palace and his forges under a volcano To gain revenge for his rejection by Hera, Hephaestus fashioned a magic throne, which was presented to her on Mount Olympus. When Hera sat on the throne, it trapped her, making her a prisoner. The gods on Mount Olympus pleaded with Hephaestus to return to their heavenly domain, as to release Hera, but he refused Dionysus gave the smith god wine, and when Hephaestus was intoxicated, Dionysus took him back to Mount Olympus slumped over the back of a mule. Hephaestus released Hera after being given the beautiful Aphrodite as his bride. Dionysus was rewarded by being made one of the Olympian Pantheon Hephaestus is known as the son of Hera and Zeus, although Zeus had nothing to do with the conception.

with Metis, from which the goddess of prudence was pregnant with Athena However, Gaia had warned Zeus that metis would bear a daughter, whose son would overthrow him. To prevent this, Zeus swallowed Metis, so he could carry the child through to the birth himself, although Zeus could not give birth naturally.

In a similar version the semen fell fro Aphrodite Hephaestus. and he was suspicious that Aphrodite had omitting adultery. to catch her being unfaithful he fashioned an extraordinary chain-link net, so fine and strong no one could escape from it. Then one day he surprised Aphrodite and the war god Ares as they lay together in bed. He threw his magic net over them and hauled them before the Olympian gods and exhibited them as they were, naked and wrapped in each others arms. Hephaestus asked the assembled gods for just retribution, but they did the total opposite.

According to Homer's Hliad, Hephaestus had a wife called Aglaea, who was one of the Charites(graces Being a great craftsman Hephaestus manufactured wonderful articles from various materials, primarily from metal. With help from the Cyclopes, who were his workmen and assistants, he fashioned the thunderbolts for Zeus and his scepter. He made weapons and armor for the other gods and heroes. For Athena, he made her shield or aegis and for the god of love, Eros, he made the arrows. The wonderful chariot which the sun god rode across the sky was made by Hephaestus. He also fashioned the invincible armor of Achilles. Hephaestus helped to create the first woman, with the assistance of other gods, after Zeus had ordered that there be a new kind of human. Zeus plotted against Prometheus because he and his race of mortals had only included one gender, which was male, and so Hephaestus formed the first woman from clay. Her name was Pandora(all gifts) and from a supernatural jar, she eleased the evils of the world on mankind Hephaestus is usually shown as an animated cripple bent over his anvil.
