Apollo God

Zeus is the God of the sky, lightening, order law, and justice. He was the youngest son of Kronos and Rhea, and rose to power and became the ruler of all the Gods on Mount Olympus. Since Zeus was the most powerful God on Mount Olympus he had many different partners, which resulted in many different kids. Leto is the kid to the Titans Coues and Pheobe, she grew up to be the Goddess of Motherhood for the Titans. Leto lived on Mount Olympus where she met Zeus and they ended up falling in love.

Apollo was very energetic, and always truthful he rarely got upset or angry but, there were a few things that were to much for him, such as someone insulting his mother or when a mortal crosses over in Apollo’s world. Overall Apollo was a very lucky god to be blessed with many powers. Three of Apollo’s greatest powers are to be able to tell oracles and know the future, secondly to be able to heal, and last but not least harnessing the power of light to not be burned by the sun. Having these three great power he also was crowned the emperor of Italy after Conquering the Battle of Actium (31 BCE).

Another trait Ares should be the god of, but isn’t, is mischief. Ares is a very well-known trouble maker among the Olympians. He would constantly hook-up with Aphrodite, get in trouble for murdering people, and constantly try to defy Zeus. Perhaps Ares’ most famous of all his love affairs was that with Aphrodite. Ares was madly in love with her for a very long time, and had even bore him four sons and a daughter. However, Aphrodite was married to the smith of the gods, Hephaestus. Tipped off about his wife’s affair, he created invisible bonds and bound the two lovers in the bed while in the act. After doing so he invited the rest of the Olympians over to take a look at this spectacle, and publicly humiliate them. In Ancient Greek times adultery is one of the worst things anyone could be caught doing, so this is a serious offense on Ares’s part. Another thing Ares has been caught and got in trouble for is murdering people. Over the years he has murdered people out of jealousy, revenge, and just plain lust for blood. An example of Ares murdering out of jealousy is the story of Adonis. In the story Adonis has caught Aphrodite’s attention. With Ares’ extreme love for her, he went into a jealous rage and transformed himself into a boar and killed

Apollo, he was an important god in Greek and Roman mythology. In Greek myths he was the son of Zeus - the king of all gods. Apollo was the god of light, purity, and the sun. The Greeks and

The city of Athens viewed the goddess Athena as their patron and protector. There were multiple instances in the city’s mythology where they believed that due to their dedication she successfully protected their territory and helped them to remain successful and prosperous. The entire city of Athens is dedicated to Athena. One of the main ways that they honored her was through elaborate temples or other forms of architecture. Athena was the goddess of several different things but architecture and mathematics were some aspects of her that could explain the way that they chose to honor her and why Athens was a center for progress in technology.

Zeus, the god of the sky, ruler of the olympian gods, filler of Gaia’s' prophecy, “supreme deity in Greek religion”, (Cartwright, 2013), was a very mighty god as well as a big lothario. Zeus liked reverence, respect and morality and punished all who were impious and blasphemous, which is strange since he had forty some children or more from many women, which didn’t demonstrate much respect to his wife Hera. Zeus had many symbols such as the thunderbolt, sceptre, eagle, oak tree, and the aegis, all of which have a story behind them. The famous thunderbolt which Zeus is known for, represents ruling over the elements and was a gift given by the cyclops and turned into his major weapon which is retrieved by the eagle (which represented his ruling over the sky). The aegis was “forged by the Cyclopes in Hephaestus’ forge” (Karas, 2017), which is thought to be animal skin and offers protection to a god. The oak tree represents religion which is what Zeus stands for since he was the main god in ancient times. Lastly the sceptre represented Zeus being a ruler of the gods.

Greek gods good, bad, or both? Well, they are bad and good for the Ancient Greek Civilization. I'll explain two positive and negative effects it had on Ancient Greeks. "These effects affect virtually every aspect of their society.' As stated in Historical.

Zeus, the god of the sky, ruler of the Olympian gods, filler of Gaia’s' prophecy, “supreme deity in Greek religion”, (Cartwright, 2013), was a remarkable god as well as a tremendous lothario. Zeus liked reverence, respect and morality and punished all who were impious and blasphemous, which is peculiar since he had forty some children or more from many women, which didn’t demonstrate much respect to his wife Hera. Zeus had many symbols such as the thunderbolt, sceptre, eagle, oak tree, and the aegis, all of which have a story behind them. The famous thunderbolt which Zeus is known for, represents ruling over the elements and was a gift given by the Cyclops and turned into his major weapon which is retrieved by the eagle (which represented his ruling over the sky). The aegis was “forged by the Cyclopes in Hephaestus’ forge” (Karas, 2017), which is thought to be animal skin and offers protection to a god. The oak tree represents religion which is what Zeus stands for since he was the main god in ancient times. Lastly the sceptre represented Zeus being a ruler of the gods.

The Apollonian and the Dionysian is a philosophical concept based on different mythologies, many Philosophers and figures have invoked this dichotomy in critical and creative works. Both are one of the important themes within Nietzsche’s first major work, The Birth of Tragedy and they are terms used to designate the two central principles in Greek culture.

While caring for others is an admirable trait, it can be associated with aggressiveness, leading to vindictiveness. When caring for someone, a psychological protective barrier is put up for the person being cared for and when an interference occurs, conflict occurs. Also, when facing competition, a protective barrier will be put up in order to make the person feel in control. Similarly, the Greek god Apollo is strongly admired for being caring and handsome while also being known for failed relationships and vengefulness. He is the god of music, truth and prophecy, healing, the sun and light, plague, poetry, and more. Apollo is the twin brother of the goddess of

Hermes (called Mercury in Roman mythology) was considered the messenger of the Olympic gods. According to legend, he was the son of Zeus, king of Mount Olympus, and Maia, a nymph. As time went on, he was also associated with luck, shepherds, athletes, thieves, and merchants.

Zeus was known for a number of things, but his love affairs was one of the numerous things he was famous for. Zeus was the king of all the gods, he was known for the god of the skies, weather, fate and laws. Out of all of his lovers he had over the years, his first was known as Aphrodite. She was the goddess of beauty and was followed by Zeus when she first emerged from the great sea, but she managed to escape him. It did not take much time for Zeus’ wife Hera to realize that their marriage was falling into the deep end. Zeus had a deep lust which then made Hera’s jealousy fester. (Summary 1).

Every human being has within him an ideal man, just as every piece of marble contains in a rough state a statue as beautiful as the one that Praxiteles the Greek made of the god Apollo.Greek myth is comprised of many Gods and Goddesses and the stories of how they came to be and of their life stories. And this is the story of the God apollo One God that caught my eye was Apollo, was associated with many aspects of life in the time of the Greek gods. Apollo’s father was Zeus, the king of the gods. Zeus, though married to Hera, had some problems with fidelity. He impregnated Leto, the daughter of a Titan.When he was four days old, he asked Hephaestus to make him silver bows and arrows. Hephaestus created them for him. Apollo was

Both Homeric hymns to Apollo and Aphrodite feature classic mythology that explains various situations between the god and goddess and the mortals. In particular how each god and goddess elude mortals into behavior that both favors each party and has negative consequences. Apollo and Aphrodite have similarities and differences in which they manipulate the humans in the stories that lead to very different outcomes. A similarity between the manipulation on Apollo’s and Aphrodite’s part is that they each have a clear motive before their actions begin and some differences are that they have very different intentions and methods of the manipulation.

In The Birth of Tragedy, Nietzsche explained Greek culture as a battle between what he called the Apollonian and Dionysian forces (Campbell 334). The Apollonian, named after the god Apollo, is “order, lawfulness, perfect form, clarity, precision, self-control, and individuation” (Schact). Fiona Jenkins describes it as “an art of the visible: it is linked to the power of dreams, illusion . . . Through the Apollonian moment of art the individual is reconstituted as a product of his own ‘dream.’” Joseph Campbell adds that Apollo is the god of prophecy, light, and the sky (336). He is also associated with purification of guilt and error (Fagles 17).
