ERIS~GODESS OF DISCORD

-
Image
  Eris is the Greek goddess and personification of discord and strife. She is an unpopular figure in Greek mythology due to her problematic behaviour and her ability to stir up trouble wherever she goes. Eris is most famous for her Golden Apple of Discord, which played a key role in the cause of the Trojan War. Eris powers dangerously lie within her ability to cause rivalry among groups of individual and induce all forms of chaos and hatred. Aggressiokinesis: Eris can cause the anger flowing in a person to be brought forth. Even among the calmest can not resist and let loose every ounce of anger. Many of the Greek gods and goddesses enjoyed inflicting in pain, suffering, and destruction, but few took as much joy in it as Eris. Eris was the Greek goddess of chaos, strife, and discord. According to legend, she was the cause of many wars, including the Trojan War. She was also the cause of famine and disease. Where there was suffering, it was a safe bet that Eris would be blamed for i...

Hades~The most misunderstood god

-
Image
  Hades was the god of underworld.....doesn't really make him sound evil. However, acc. to me he is one of the purest and kind hearted god. He just ruled underworld because he only wanted to maintain balance because naturally Zeus got thunder or sky; Neptune(Poseidon) got sea and  Hades had to take it just to maintain balance. He was family faithful man. He never tried to overthrow Zeus. He could have ruled over 3 dimensions but he didn't and let his brother rule them (Look...how kind hearted).  He married Persephon. Poseidon even raped a girl named Medusa and Zeus was sexually attached with many girls...kinda he also raped girls but hades only loved Persephon. He didn't look at any other girl instead of her own girl.  His parents were----Kronos(King of Titans) and Rhea. He was also said as most cruel but comparatively to his brother HERA,NEPTUNE,ZEUS he wasn't cruel at all. This was my opinion  He had a pet dog 'Cerberus' He was a three headed dog and was the g...

NYX~The most powerful greek goddess

-
Image
  ~NYX~ Nyx, in Greek mythology, female personification of night but also a great cosmogonical figure, feared even by Zeus, the king of the gods, as related in Homer’s Iliad, Book XIV. According to Hesiod’s Theogony, she was the daughter of Chaos and the mother of numerous primordial powers, including Sleep, Death, the Fates, Nemesis, and Old Age. The Orphic Rhapsodies made her the daughter and successor of Phanes, a creator god; she continued to advise her own successors (Uranus, her son by Phanes; Cronus, youngest son of Uranus; and Zeus) by means of her oracular gifts. Aristotle, in Metaphysics, Book XII, asserted that some “theologians” derive all things from night. This idea fits the theogony of Aristophanes’ Birds. Throughout antiquity Nyx caught the imagination of poets and artists, but she was seldom worshipped. Actually she was goddess of NIGHT  The Creation of the Gods Hesiod mentions Nyx multiple times in his creation story (Theogony), where he talks about the origi...

BIRTH OF ATHENA

BIRTH OF ATHENA      Athena, also spelled Athene, in Greek religion, the city protectress, goddess of war, handicraft, and practical reason, identified by the Romans with Minerva. She was essentially urban and civilized, the antithesis in many respects of Artemis, goddess of the outdoors. Athena was probably a pre-Hellenic goddess and was later taken over by the Greeks. Yet the Greek economy, unlike that of the Minoans, was largely military, so that Athena, while retaining her earlier domestic functions, became a goddess of war. She was the daughter of Zeus, produced without a mother, so that she emerged full-grown from his forehead. SHE IS METIS(ATHENA'S MOM)👆👆 HE'S ZEUS (ATHENA'S DAD) 👆👆 SO HOW WAS ATHENA REALLY BORN ? After Zeus became king of the cosmos, he and Metis were married, but after hearing a prophecy stating that after Metis gave birth to a daughter, she would have a son mightier than Zeus who would overthrow him, Zeus tricked the still pregnant Metis and...

Medusa

-
Image
  STORY OF MEDUSA Greek mythology is no different. What we are rarely taught about is how Medusa was made to be “Medusa”. As one of the Gorgon sisters, she was originally a golden-haired, fair maiden, beautiful and kind-natured. Medusa devoted herself to a life of celibacy in the name of her goddess, Athena. However, despite her origins of beauty, Medusa’s name quickly became synonymous with malevolence, hatred, and monstrosity. Medusa was a priestess to the goddess Athena, the virgin goddess of wisdom and battle. One requirement to be a priestess for Athena is that the young women should be a virgin and give their life to the goddess. One day, Poseidon (or Neptune), the God of the Sea and rival to Athena, saw Medusa and was mesmerized. But Medusa being a loyal priestess to the Goddess rejected him. And what does he do about it? Rape her of course! And decided to humiliate Athena by raping the priestess on the steps of Athena’s temple. Poseidon vanished after he was done and left M...
