Cronus gained supreme power by overthrowing his father Uranus. Knowing that he would be overthrown by his own children like his father, he swallowed his own children. His wife Rhea couldn't bear to be swallowed by Zeus, so she took a stone and pretended that Zeus had swallowed it for him. When Zeus grew up, he rebelled against his father with his brothers and sisters and launched a fierce struggle. (European history) After ten years of war, he defeated his father with the help of his grandmother Gaia, the goddess of the earth. Zeus and his brothers Poseidon and Hades were in charge of heaven, the sea and the underworld. Since then, Zeus has become the ruler in charge of the universe. Jupiter's Latin name comes from him. The stone swallowed by Cronus was later put in Delphi and became the center of the world.

Zeus had a lustful nature, and had many offspring with many goddesses and women, including Apollo and Artemis, Dionysus, Heracles and so on. Zeus tried his best to get close to the goddess and the woman, and he was always sneaking around, so he always made Hera angry. In order not to let Hera know the location of his affair, he always obstructs Hera in various ways. Zeus also had some male lovers, such as Ganymede.

Although it was made of goatskin, it was full of magic, and even Zeus's thunder was not damaged at all.

Hera

Hera is the goddess of heaven in ancient Greek mythology. What is the original meaning of the name Hera? Lady? Zeus' third wife, Juno in Roman mythology, owned a sacred peacock, as well as sacred pomegranate and apple trees. She is the eldest daughter of Cronus and Gaia and the elder sister of Zeus. The patron saint of women is in charge of marriage and childbirth, but she is very jealous and hurts the object of Zeus' affair in every way. She is also a symbol of power.

Poseidon

Poseidon (&&s182; ; ? ), the Greek god of the sea, the brother of Zeus. His weapon is a trident that can shake the earth. Corresponding to Neptune in Roman mythology, Neptune's Latin name comes from him. His mount is a golden chariot driven by a white horse. Of all the gods, his strength is second only to Zeus. Although Poseidon married Sarasia, he was also fascinated by Demeter, the god of the four seasons. In the process of trying to please her, Poseidon vowed to create the most beautiful animal horse. But in the process of his unremitting efforts, Poseidon created many other animals. When he finally succeeded in creating a horse, his enthusiasm for Demeter faded.

Dmitri

Demeter, the goddess of the earth and harvest in Greek mythology. She is the sister of Zeus, the goddess in charge of agriculture, giving life to the earth and teaching human farming. She is also the goddess of justice. She and Zeus gave birth to Persephone, who was later taken away by Demeter's brother Hades. Because she lost her daughter, she didn't care about farming, which made the earth lose its vitality. It was not until Zeus came forward to reunite their mother and daughter that the earth was reborn. Every winter is a day for her to reunite with her daughter. She left work to accompany her daughter, which is not suitable for farming at this time.

Dionysus (Dionysus)

Dionysus, the same god as Bacchus believed by the Romans, was the Dionysus believed by the Thracians in ancient Greece. He not only possessed the intoxicating power of wine, but also became a charming god by giving joy and love. He promoted the civilization of ancient society, established laws and safeguarded world peace. In addition, he also protected Greek agriculture and drama culture. In the legend of the Holy Mountain of Olympia, he is the son of Zeus and Semele, and some people say that he is the son of Zeus and Persephone. The ancient Greeks offered sacrifices to Dionysus, which was one of the secret religious ceremonies, similar to the secret ceremony held by Alexis for De milt and Persephone. In Thrace's ceremony, he wore fox skin, which is said to symbolize rebirth. The carnival ceremony of Dionysus, the exclusive Dionysus, is the most secret religious ceremony.

The first theory holds that Dionysus is the son of Zeus and Semele. Semele is the princess of Thebes. Zeus fell in love with her and had a tryst with her. Hera was so jealous when she learned that she became the princess's nanny and urged the princess to ask Zeus for Zeus' real body to verify Zeus' love for her. Zeus could not resist the princess's request and showed the appearance of Thor. As a result, Semele was burned to death in the thunder fire. Zeus rescued Dionysus, a baby less than one month old, and sewed him in his thigh until he was full-term. Because Zeus walks like a cripple, he got the name (? Dionysus? Namely. A cripple? Meaning).

The second theory holds that Dionysus is the son of Zeus and Persephone. Hera Roland killed the newborn Dionysus and destroyed his body, but Zeus saved his heart and reincarnated his soul into Semili's body again. As a result, the story about Dionysus's rebirth and immortality spread all over Greece, which made people admire him.

As an adult, Dionysus still refused to let him go, driving him crazy and wandering around. In the process of wandering the earth, he taught farmers how to make wine, so he became one of the favorite gods of ancient Greek farmers, Dionysus, and commemorated him with Dionysus's sacrifice every year, which developed the ancient Greek tragedy. Dionysus, also known as Bagus in Rome, is the god of plants and the patron saint of grape cultivation and wine making. At first, it was not the main temple of Olympus.

Athens (Athena)

Athena is the goddess of wisdom in Greek mythology, the patron saint of agriculture and gardening, and the patron saint of law and order. She is one of the twelve gods of Olympus. Her name is abbreviated from the Greek Athenaa or Athenaia (also written as Athene or Athenaie in Ionian dialect).

One legend is that ...

Athena was born of Zeus and the goddess of wisdom, Metis. God predicted that the children born to Metis had the ability to overthrow Zeus. Zeus thought it would threaten him, so he swallowed her. After swallowing, he had a terrible headache, so he had to summon Vulcan hephaestus. From his head, Athena, the goddess of the clean and jerk, jumped out.

Patron saint

Athena won the battle with Poseidon and became the patron saint of Athens. Today, the Parthenon in the Acropolis is dedicated to her.
