The God Of 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.

People from early civilizations created myths which they followed in their everyday lives. These myths carried three details to explain how the world was created. Those three details were

The creation of the gods starts with chaos and from the chaos came the endless gods: Eros, Tartarus, and Gaea (Love, hell, and the earth). Gaea created Uranus, the first ruler of the sky and Eros

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.

She created a man and a women they populated the world. The moon and the sun had yet to be created but it would soon be something that would come into creation. The land and water god and the life creating job then had a child. It was the moon and sun god.

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.

Both Kojiki and Greek mythologies describe common belief in the creation of the world, in which gods give birth to another to form the world. In Kojiki, two of the seven gods who came into existence, Izanagi and Izanami give birth to many nature deities, creating the world. But because Izanami gives birth to too many deities, she dies while giving birth to the fire deity. In result of her death, enraged Izanagi kills the fire deity. In contrast, Greek myth describes the creation of the world with the four gods who came to existences, Gaea (earth) Chaos, Tartarus (Hell), and then Eros. Gaea asexually gives birth to Uranus (Sky) and marries her son. She then bears three types of gods; the Titans, the Cyclopes, and the Hecathonchires. However, Uranus repels at the monstrous creatures and sends Cyclopes and Hecatonchires down to Tartarus (Hell). Frustrated by Uranus’s action, Gaea forges the first sickle, gives it to her youngest son Cronos, and have him punish his father, Uranus. Once Uranus returns to make love to Gaea, Cronos emasculates him. Here we see the similarities in the creation of the world by birth and death of God by the hands of another god with fury.

According to the ancient Aztec religion, it took the gods five tries to create the world. The first four attempts had failed because the gods were fighting among themselves. Each creator-god would take a turn being the sun in order for the world to function properly so that it would be habitable. The gods had a council and decided that Nanauatl, a lowly, humble god, would have to sacrifice himself to become the sun. But there was a major problem with this, he was not moving. It was then that the gods realized that they would also have to sacrifice themselves so the humans could live. The god Ehecatl sacrificed all the other gods and a strong wind arose to help move the sun. Once they fixed the sun, they recreated the world for the fifth time.

Apache religion did not acknowledge an abundant number of gods and goddesses. Instead, their belief system focused on metaphysical cultural figures that are responsible for guiding the Apache way of life. At the beginning of the tale, nothing existed until the Creator appeared. When he looked into the darkness, light appeared. The Creator found Girl-Without-Parents, Sun-God, and Small- Boy, and together they decided to create the world.

Before the creation of this world, there were various other attempts of creating a perfect world that would support life, humans and all the natural resources for survival. The Aztecs created a story where they described five different attempts of creating the perfect world and who were the ones involved in the creation. There were five different gods who sacrificed their lives in each and every attempt of creating a world. The Aztecs referred to the legend as an “actually a story of birth, death, and rebirth” (Aztec-History). The first four worlds were first created or in other words born, and then when they weren’t stable enough to hold life they were destroyed, by either the gods or natural resources.

The creation of the world is explained through two stories where a son usurps the place of his father - Cronus from Ouranos and Zeus from Cronus perhaps referring to the eternal struggle which exists between different generations and family members. (Brummett) The Olympian gods led by Zeus twice defeated the sources of chaos represented by the Titans and the Giants. These gods then, rule man’s destiny and sometimes directly interfere favorably or otherwise. (Cartwright)

There were once a god, and a goddess whose names were The Sun Father, and the Moonlight-Giving Mother. The Zuni tribe of Pueblo, Western Mexico worshipped these two gods as night and day. One day the Sun Father, and Moonlight-Giving Mother came together during a solar eclipse causing the creation of a child who was named Lusio, The God of Light. Lusio was the creation of both the Sun Father, and Moonlight-Giving Mother, thus he had inherited both the powers of his parents. He had the ability to control the light of the sun during the day, and the light of the moon during the night, however; as he grew older he started to resent his parents because he did not see the need for two gods to control both when there could be one mighty and powerful god. One day he confronted them “Mother, father why must there be a Sun Father and Moonlight-Giving Mother if I can control both night and day, I should be the only god that can control light” Lusio said.

According to the ancient Aztec religion, in the beginning there was a God named Ometechutli who was both male and female. Ometechutli represented opposites and was both good and bad, chaos and order. Being male and female, Ometechutli could procreate asexually. Ometechutli created four Gods; Xipe Totec who was the God of agriculture, fertility and the north. Huizilopochtli, who was the God of war, the sun, and the south. Quetzalcoatl the God of learning, knowledge, and the east. Lastly, there was Tezcatilpoca; who was the God of the west and evil power. Aztec’s great empire was believed to be around the centre of the universe, so these directions were very important to Aztec’s. The four gods began created the universe; producing water and other Gods. Within the waters was born a sea monster called Cipactli who dwelled in the water and had the body of a fish but the head of a crocodile. Although, every other creature the gods created would fall into the sea and be eaten by Cipactli. The Gods destroyed the sea monster and from his head formed 13 heavens; the tail 7 underworlds and its body became the earth. However, in order to complete the world a great source of energy needed to be created, which was the sun. The sun had to be created through a sacrifice of a God. Four attempts were made through sacrifice, however, only the fifth try was successful. On the fifth attempt, Tecuciztecatl offered for himself to be

Using the power of thought, Atum created his form. To be, the great god Atum created a large dirt pile upon which he could stand. Lonely, Atum took from his shadow two children – Shu and Tefuut. He sent them forth to create the world. After a time, Atum missed his children, so he took his eye and sent it out onto the earth to search for them. Shu and Tefuut returned to the god safely, so he cried joyfully. From the power in his tears, humans arose. Shu and Tefuut gave birth to two children, Geb and Nut, who were to create a place for the humans to live. However, the god and goddess fell in love. This was forbidden, so Atum separated them forever by making Nut the Earth and Geb the sky. Nut was pregnant, and gave birth to the gods Isis, Set, Horus, Nephys, and Osiris. Osiris was given the earth to rule, and humans were placed on the

Throughout the history of mankind, there have been many great men who have left an impact on today’s world. Some of these men may have changed a certain system was run or established a better community for other people. While doing these things is certainly commendable, there is one man who stands above the rest. This man is unique in every way from His conception to His death. In addition, this man made astonishing claims and performed many great miracles. While there were many that embraced this man, there were many that called him foolish and a sinner. This man was Jesus Christ. Through the use of Old Testament prophets, various New Testament testimonies, and certain divine attributes, it is proven that Jesus Christ is unique in that He and God are one.
