The previous article about three major religions was mentioned. A friend mentioned ancient Greek mythology, so he prepared to create a collection of ancient myths from all over the world. Today I will talk about ancient Greek mythology first.
is different from ancient Chinese myths. Foreign myths and family relationships are relatively complex, but like most myths, ancient Greek myths also start with chaos.
In ancient Greek mythology, the god of chaos, Kaos, was the earliest god of gods, and then the god of abyss, was born, the god of darkness, the goddess of darkness, the god of love, and the goddess of earth, Gaia.
earth goddess Gaia
Among them, Gaia gave birth to the original ocean god, the mountain god and the sky god Uranus. Gaia and her son Uranus became husband and wife and gave birth to three cyclops. Three Hundred Arms Giants and Twelve Titan Gods Six Men and Six Women.
Other gods are not important, as long as you know the youngest son, Cronos, ancient Greek mythology has also become interesting from here.
After Gaia gave birth to such a lot of children, she felt very painful. She didn't want to have another child, so she encouraged her twelve Titan gods to kill Uranus.
No one else dared to go, only the youngest son Kronos listened to her mother, cut off his father Uranus's genitals and threw them into the sea.
Uranus's genitals and sea water are mixed with Aphrodite, which is Venus.
Cronos' worries
Cronos has thus become the eldest of the twelve Titan gods and married one of the Titan goddess Rhea as his wife.
After taking the throne, Cronos was worried that one day he would be killed by his children like his father, so he made a decision to eat all his children and eat one of them.
Ria
His wife Ria could not accept all this, so when she gave birth to her sixth child, she transferred the child into a stone, allowing Cronos to eat the stone, and the child was hidden by her. This child was the later god Zeus.
When I grew up, Zeus, who learned the truth, decided to save his brothers and sisters and seize the throne of God.
Zeus and his father fought and won a victory, forcing his father to spit out the five brothers and sisters he had eaten before, they were Pluto Hades, Poseidon, Demeter, Hestia, and Hera, the goddess of fire.
From then on, Zeus became the new supreme god who ruled the sky, Poseidon ruled the ocean, and Hades ruled the underworld.
In addition to having a few children with the queen Hera, Zeus also gave birth to a lot of children with countless beauties.
Among his children, the goddess of wisdom Athena, the sun god Apollo, the god of love, the god of wine, the god of war, the messenger, etc. are all very important gods in the ancient Greek mythology system.
The following mainly introduces the 12 main gods in Greek mythology:
Zeus incarnated as white bull
Generally in Western oil paintings, Zeus is like a god who is tall and high, but he is particularly fickle. In order to date a beautiful woman, he tastes incarnated into various images.
For example, animals such as swans, white cows, eagles, etc., they sometimes transform into natural phenomena such as wind, rain, thunder, and electricity.
day later, Hera is the goddess of marriage and childbirth, and she always sees peacocks around her.
In Greek mythology, the god envoy brought a baby to Hera, hoping to suck Her milk while she was sleeping and gain eternal life.
Who knew that Hera suddenly woke up and before she could dodge, the milk splashed out, forming a galaxy.
The most obvious sign of Neptune Poseidon is holding a trident in his hand, and there are often huge waves around him.
The most artistic image of Hades is that he fell in love with one of Zeus's daughters and snatched them back to the underworld. After becoming the underworld, he often followed a three-headed dog.
Sun god Apollo is the first handsome guy among the Greek gods, and he is romantic and suave.
At the same time, he is also the god of music and the god of poetry. He often holds a piano and likes to drive the sun cart to swim in the sky.
Dionysus, wearing a vine on his head, holding a fine wine. In this painting of Titian, it tells of a girl abandoned by a prince meeting a Dionysus, who fell in love with her at first sight.
The place where the goddess of agriculture Demeter appeared always has rich land, with abundant harvests of fruits and pots. Sometimes she holds a sickle and wheat ears in her hand, bringing joy to people.
Vulcan God Hephaestus, the gods in Greek mythology are all beautiful and handsome guys, but he is more sorry for his appearance and often holds a hammer. His craftsmanship is superb.
Legend Zeus's lightning spear and Poseidon's trident were all made by him. Although the image was a bit regrettable, he married the most beautiful goddess Aphrodite.
Aphrodite is called Venus in Roman mythology. He is the goddess of love and beauty. He is produced by the mixture of Grandpa Zeus's genitals and sea water, so she must be the one who stepped on the shells in the sea.
Wisdom is equally extraordinary as the origin of Athena, the goddess of war. She was born from Zeus's head after Zeus ate his first wife.
The image of Athena usually wears a helmet, with a spear and a shield in her hand. She has a very high status in Greek mythology. It not only represents wisdom and military strategy, but also is also the god of technology and craftsmanship.
Legend she teaches the art of textile, gardening, pottery and painting and sculpture to mankind, and she is also the guardian of navigation, medical care, law and order.
Moon goddess Artemis, she is Apollo's twin sister, known for her chastity, often decorated with the moon on her head, bows and arrows are always with her hands, and she is accompanied by puppies or deer.
The God of War Ares is very warlike and cruel, and is a symbol of strength. Although he is brave, his mind is relatively simple. He was beaten up by Athena during the War of the Gods.
God Mess is a very secondary god. He has wings on his head and feet. Because he is the messenger of the gods, he must run very quickly, and at the same time he is in charge of business and sports.
or above is an introduction to the twelve main gods in ancient Greek mythology. Careful friends will find two more, because Hestia gave up his position to Dionysus, the god of wine, because he lived with humans.
And Pluto Hades is sometimes included in the twelve gods of Olympus, but generally Hades is excluded because he is the ruler of the underworld.
