He was most closely with his brother Ares they would star battles with other people and gods or who ever wanted to fight. They were close until Ares had an affair with his wife.

What are some of the essential features of Hesiod’s view of the appropriate way to live and how does it differ from Homer’s depiction of the heroic life?

The Theogony is one of the most well-known sources of ancient Greek Mythology. It was written around 700 BC and delineates the emergence of the universe as well as the gods’ births and origins. Hesiod begins and ends the poem with a reference to the Heliconian Muses, daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, goddesses of the arts as well as proclaimers of heroes and gods. In the beginning of the poem, Hesiod discloses that by order of the Muses he has to begin and end his stories of the gods with a reference to them (Hesiod quoted by Evelyn-White, Hugh G., Theogony 2004: 29-35).

Hera was the daughter of Cronus and Rhea. She was born on the riverbanks of Imbrasons, under a willow tree. When Hera and her siblings were born Cornos her father, thought one of his children was going to kill him, so he swallowed all of them. Including Hera. Later on when Zeus was born and grew up he killed Cronos, and freed his brothers and sisters.

Zeus was birthed by the Titans Cronus, the god of time, and Rhea, the goddess of female fertility. He was the youngest of six siblings, which were all consumed by his father, who out of his fear of one of his children overthrowing him, “swallowed every child Rhea…[had given] birth to” (Gods, 2017). He was able to grow up without his father devouring him since his mother and Gaia had tricked Cronus into believing

Hera, he had countless affairs and many children. His father, who he overthrew, was Cronos, and his mother was Rheas. He had five siblings, Poseidon and Hades, who he divided the realms with, Demeter, Hera, and Hestia. He was married to his sister, Hera, and had four children with her, Ares, Eileithyia, Hebe, Enyo, Eris, Angelos, and Hephaestus. Other gods that he had children with were Demeter, who gave birth to Persephone; Dione, who gave birth to Aphrodite; Eurynome, who gave birth to the Charities (Aglaea, Euphrosyne, and Thalia), and 23 other gods who bore him around 35 other children. While he had many affairs with gods, he had even more with mortals. A few of the many were Electra, who gave birth to Dardanus, Harmonia, and Iasius; Europa who gave birth to Minos, Rhadamanthys, Alagonia, Carnus, Dodon, and Sarpedon; and Leda, who gave birth to Polydeuces and Helen. He had another 43 affairs with mortals, and at least 54 other children with

would be a big help to Odysseus because he is the god of fire, also he has the ability to creat armor. If Hephaestus was the protector of Odysseus, Odysseus would be more protected because Odysseus would have armor to protect him. Hephaestus is a good protector because in book four of the Odyssey he is spoken of by the goddess Menelaus as he donates Telemachus a mixing bowl made by him. Hephaestus would be a good help to Odysseus because he's immune to harm from injury and is unable to get sick with any sickness or disease. Hephaestus is also stronger than the regular Olympian god and is able to pick up 40 ton optimally. Hephaestus is a genius among all the other Olympian gods and has created many weapons over the millennia. Hephaestus created the female shaped robots that assist him. People also refer to Hephaestus as The Great god of forge and fire, also God of volcanoes. Hephaestus was the only God on Mount Olympus who had a normal job and actually used his hands to work. The job was a Blacksmith, so he's able to make weapons and armor and more for Odysseus. It was said that Hephaestus was blacksmith for every God. Hephaestus was a craftsmen so he would also be able to craft weapons or tools for Odysseus. As Hephaestus was a skillful blacksmith he was able to forge and construct anything for all the other gods and goddesses. Hephaestus is a big strong god who is very dangerous and also powerful. Hephaestus would be a major

Zeus was birthed by the Titans Cronus, the god of time, and Rhea, the goddess of female fertility. He was the youngest of six siblings, which were all consumed by his father, who out of his fear of one of his children overthrowing him, “swallowed every child Rhea…[had given] birth to” (Gods, 2017). He was able to grow up without his father devouring him since his mother and Gaia had tricked Cronus into

The mythological character and God, Zeus, is portrayed in many ways, by many different people. Hesiod describes Zeus as being relentless in his fury. When he gets mad he unleashes all of his power. If his brother Hades wasn’t in charge of the Underworld, he’d make all of Hell break loose. For example, in Hesiod’s Theogony, which is about when Zeus defeated his father, Cronus, he says, “Then Zeus did not hold back any longer, but now immediately his heart was filled with strength and he showed clearly all his force.” (Morford and Lenardon 85) He tends to treat others, mortals and immortals, very unfairly. Two mortals could do the same exact type of sacrilege towards him, and depending on how he felt that day, he would take two very different approaches to how he would treat them. He also doesn’t take any threats towards him very lightly at all. If anyone ever threatens him, he normally punishes them very severely, if he doesn’t destroy them completely. Hesiod’s approach to Zeus’ behavior is overdramatic, and makes it seem more extreme than it probably would’ve been.

Have you ever judged a book by it’s cover. Hephaestus, god of fire and blacksmiths, is absolutely grisly, Hera, his mother despised him enormously because of his foul looks. Hephaestus grew up very unloved because of his looks. To get revenge on his mom he crafted a chair that when his mom sat in, it clasped her up in its arms and didn’t release her. She was finally released once Hephaestus had a alluring wife, Aphrodite.

There are very few surviving stories about Hestia. In myth, Hestia was the first born child of Kronos and Rhea, and she was swallowed by her father, Kronos, at birth. He had had a dream that one of his children would over throw him for the throne and one day kill him. He believed that if he killed them as they were born that would

Paragraph 4 Vulcan is the God of both beneficial and hindering fire including fire from volcanoes and the manufacturer of art arms iron and armor for Gods and heroes. His forge was believed to be situated underneath mount Etna in sicily Vulcan is often depicted with a blacksmiths hammer. The Romans identified Vulcan with the Greek smith -god Hephaestus and he became associated like his Greek counterpart with the constructive use of fire in metalworking. A fragment of a Greek pot showing Hephaestus found at the Volcanal has been dated to the 6th century BC suggesting the two Gods were already associated at this date.

1. Name and relationships: Hephaistos is son to Hera and Zeus, or of only Hera who threw him off Mount Olympus. He is husband to Aphrodite. 2. Powers, specialties, and values: He is a metalworker and patron of craftsmen.

Hera was born to Cronus, the Greek Titan god of time and the ages, and to the Greek Titan goddess queen of heaven and the mother of the gods.

Although in some myths it is said that Hera alone conceived Hephaestus and it was only to get back at Zeus for bringing forth Athena who is the goddess of wisdom. Hephaestus was born deformed and was cast out from heaven by one if not both his parents. On Olympus he had his own palace or workshop that has located right under a volcano. In his workshop he had assistants that were made of solid gold and they would help him with his projects. The only problem that he cause was that the work he did was that he would cause frequent eruptions because of his work.
