In comparison, the Egyptian-Greek poet Nonnus of Panopolis suggests that Hera partook in the battles and directly aided Zeus. According to Hesiod, Theogony 927–929, Hephaestus was produced by Hera alone, with no father, see Gantz, p. 74.Poseidon (Ποσειδῶν), king of the sea and lord of the sea gods; also god of rivers, flood and drought, earthquakes, and horses The Danaides, forty-nine daughters of Danaus who murdered their husbands and were condemned to an eternity of carrying water in leaky jugs The Palici (Παλικοί), a pair of rustic gods who presided over the geysers and thermal springs in Sicily Little is known about the creator of the 'Illiad' and 'Odyssey' – we explore who Homer was and whether this poet of the Trojan War existed.

Aristaeus (Ἀρισταῖος), a Thessalian hero, his inventions saw him immortalised as the god of bee-keeping, cheese-making, herding, olive-growing, and hunting As can be expected, Hera becomes reasonably upset. She was betrayed twice by her husband, and now the Greek goddess is set into mourning the loss of a trusted friend. Upon seeking revenge for the death of her loyal giant, Hera sent a biting gadfly to pester Io and force her to wander without rest – yes, still as a cow.

The son of Zeus and Hera, all the other gods despised him except Aphrodite. His Latin name, Mars, gave us the word " martial." The story of Heracles shows Hera’s rage on full display. She torments the man throughout all stages of his life, from late infancy into maturity, causing him unimaginable torment for the actions of his father. Outside of this, the story also makes it known that the queen’s grudges don’t last into eternity, as Hera eventually allows the hero to marry her daughter, Hebe. Whence Came the Golden Fleece There is evidence for Greek religious practice involving 12 gods from the late 6th century BC. In the Homeric Hymn to Hermes, from around 500 BC, Hermes stands at Olympia on the bank of the river Alpheius and divides a sacrifice into 12 portions for the gods. According to Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War, the ruler Pisistratus established an altar of the 12 gods in Athens around 522 BC.

The youngest daughter of Cronus and Rhea. Sister and wife of Zeus. Being the goddess of marriage, she frequently tried to get revenge on Zeus' lovers and their children. God of music, arts, knowledge, healing, plague, prophecy, poetry, manly beauty, and archery. He is the son of Zeus and Leto, and the twin brother of Artemis. Both Apollo and Artemis use a bow and arrow. Apollo is depicted as young, beardless, handsome and athletic. In myth, he can be cruel and destructive, and his love affairs are rarely happy. He is often accompanied by the Muses. His most famous temple is in Delphi, where he established his oracular shrine. His signs and symbols include the laurel wreath, bow and arrow, and lyre. His sacred animals include roe deer, swans, and pythons. Some late Roman and Greek poetry and mythography identifies him as a sun-god, equivalent to Roman Sol and Greek Helios. [2] Since her union with Zeus, Hera gave birth to Hebe, the goddess of youth, and Ares, the bloodthirsty and havoc wreaking god of war. According to others, Ilithyia, mother of aches, and Eris, goddess of discord and non combatant, were children of Hera and Zeus.

In the mystery religions and Athenian literature, Plouton ("the Rich one") was his preferred name, because of the idea that all riches came from the earth. The term Hades was used in this literature to refer to the underworld itself. The Romans translated Plouton as Dis Pater ("the Rich Father") or Pluto.
