Ares Greek God
Greek God-GoddessAres Greek God
In Greek mythology, Ares is the son of Zeus and Hera. Though often referred to as the Olympian god of war, he is more accurately the god of savage war, or bloodlust, or slaughter personified. Among the Greeks Ares was always distrusted and although Ares' half-sister Athena was also considered to be a war deity, Athena's stance was that of strategic warfare while Ares' tended to be the unpredictable violence of war. His birthplace and true home was placed far off, among the barbarous and warlike Thracians, to whom he withdrew after he was discovered on a couch with Aphrodite.Hermes Greek God

Hermes is the son of Zeus and Maia who was a nymph, one of the Pleiades, daughters of Atlas, taking refuge in a cave of Mount Kyllini in Arcadia. Hermes was born on Mount Kyllini in Arcadia. On his first day he escaped from the blanket that his mother had wrapped around him and went to Thessaly where he stole some cattle from Apollo's herd and hid in a cave where he created his first lyre from a cow' s intestines and a tortoise shell. Apollo complained to Maia that her son had stolen his cattle, but Hermes had already returned in his mother's blanket so she refused to believe Apollo's accusations. Zeus took the side of Apollo but when Hermes began to play music on the lyre that he had invented, Apollo, a god of music, fell in love with the instrument and offered to allow exchange of the cattle for the lyre. Hence, Apollo became a master of the lyre and Hermes invented the syrinx, a pipe-instrument which was also acquired by Apollo later on by exchanging it with a caduceus.
Aphrodite Greek Goddess

Aphrodite is the classical Greek goddess of love, lust and beauty. She was born from the foam of the sea near Pafos in Cyprus covering a part of Uranus' body (his testicles) that were cut off by his son Kronos. After the testicles fell in the sea near the island of Kithira they were led by the water to Cyprus and from the foam covering them the most beautiful woman of all made her appearance, the goddess named Aphrodite.
Athena Greek Goddess

The myth says that Zeus had swallowed his first wife Metis when he found out that she was pregnant. He was afraid that the prophecy of his son taking his throne would come true if the child was a boy. In remorse, he asked another god to split his head from where Athens popped out, a beautiful full-grown daughter, dressed in golden battle armor. She soon became his favorite and the only one of his children that Zeus ever entrusted with his magic shield and the secret of where his lightening bolts were stored. Athena remained his constant ally and fierce protector, promoting his interests, serving as his advisor.Artemis Greek goddess

Artemis is the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo. She is the goddess of the hunt and the wild and at some point she replaced Selene, the goddess of the moon. In statues she is shown with deer, bow and arrows usually in a forest setting.
In Ephesus, an ancient Greek city located in the western part of Turkey where she was a principal deity, there is a temple of the goddess which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and probably the best known center of her worship apart from Delos. Many Athenian festivals such as Elaphebolia, Mounichia, Charisteri, Vravronia were organized in her honor.
