In Greco-Roman Culture, humans imagine the deities of mythology to be and act certain ways, due to the needs they must fill. People invented certain deities for reasons that align with what they needed from them. To examine how a deity has a certain purpose, one must first examine what they are like. Athena and Ares are examples of deities invented for very specific purposes. One must first look at Athena and Ares’ similarities and differences in relation to their characteristics, their sexuality and physical appearances, as well as their different powers and how they are worshipped, to discover why they were created.

The Titans were an amazing team, but Legend 27’s team was better. He jumped over anybody in his way to make a shot. When an opponent tried to score, he jumped high and blocked it. Nobody could stop Legend 27. The crowd loved him and cheered every time he scored. The game finished with a score of 120-3. Legend 27 had won the National championship! After the game was finished and everybody was leaving, Legend 27 walked over to the disguised Hera and thanked her for help. “I hope to see you again soon,” Legend 27 said to the beautiful goddess. She smiled back at him and disappeared. Two days after Legend 27’s win, he went out with his team to celebrate their win. They were having a nice dinner when suddenly a tall god appeared in front of the team. Zeus was visiting Legend 27, and he wasn’t happy. “Legend 27, come forward,” Zeus spoke. His voice was loud and deep, shaking the tables around him. Legend 27 slowly stood and walked to Zeus. He noticed Zeus’s angry expression, but couldn’t think of anything he could have done to anger a god. “Hello, mighty Zeus,” Legend 27 said to Zeus, trying to hide any nervousness.

In the image of a black figure vase, we can see a clear distinction between the different characters involved during the games. We can see the umpire on the right of the vase, naked and with a whip in his hand, ready to punish any athletes who cheated. The lower bodied athlete signals submission to the umpire, who then forwards the submission to the hellanodikai. The hellanodikai, on the left of the vase, wears a robe, which would have been purple, and a crown to signify his more honourable roll. The five days of the Olympics each had their own special event; the first included the athletes and hellanodikai swearing an oath of honesty and sportsmanship before the statue of Zeus, an unbreakable promise. The second day hosted the horse races and the pentathlon, consisting of discus, the long jump, javelin, running and wrestling, all went on in one afternoon. The third day saw a more religious side to the Olympics; rites for the hero Pelops were given, a procession of all participants, hellanodikai and ambassadors of the different cities took place, and a sacrifice of a hundred cows was given to Zeus. The fourth day was for the running and combat sports, including wrestling, boxing and pankration, which was a sport that combined both the rules of wrestling and boxing. In contrast to the Pythian Games at Delphi, musical events were never added to the Olympic Games. Victors in any of the contests received a crown of leaves as a symbolic prize for their achievements, and

It was his home court, and Zeus had never missed a shot, and of course, he made it. They checked the ball and Legend XXVII was playing lockdown defense not letting Zeus go anywhere. Zeus couldn't get passed Legend XXVII but was winning by 4, 9 to 5, because he still couldn’t miss a shot. On the other hand Legend XXVII was not his normal self, he was missing shots left and right. Then the game changed, Zeus missed a shot. After he missed one, Zeus wasn’t going to make another shot, and with Legend XXVII”s defense Zeus couldn’t get a shot other than a long jump shot. Miss after miss, Legend XXVII finally caught up and tied the game with Zeus, 9 to 9. After many back and forth battles, the game was still tied up, 15 to 15. Zeus had never in his life been challenged like this. But it was not over and Zeus was slowly gaining the lead, and his confidence back. It was only 17 to 15, but Legend XXVII felt like he was already defeated.

Lastly, the gods had a problem with being deceitful, especially with each other. When they really wanted something, they didn’t care if they had to lie or be dishonest to get it. Earlier in the battle, Zeus had told the gods that they couldn’t fight in the battle yet. Some time later, Zeus left the battle scene and went elsewhere to Mount Ida. If any of the gods would dare cross Zeus, the time was now and Poseidon

There was one god, known as God Quakes. He was the 13th son of Zeus. All the other sons were always were prejudice about him, and always said that Quakes can’t do anything. In addition, they even said he was a sign of bad luck everywhere, since he was the 13th son. They proved it, too. For example, the year before he was born, Zeus had conquered the war between the Titans. But the year after God Quakes was born, they had lost as badly as a fight between a cat and a rat, which made the Titans start to form a territory of their home, which was on a mountain, called Mt. Olympus. Even Zeus had second thoughts of his son, but it was a rule of the god to never abandon their son. No matter how much criticizing, God Quakes had never hated
