    actually i dont know anything about that.... do you like it...u can share with me

    Yes I have always liked it very much. Instead of bedtime stories, my mom used to told me about the Greek gods and all those legends, then as I grew up I read more and more about them. It's certainly very interesting.

    hi carla
    Greek mythology excellent
    lets start with the king of Gods ZEUS-DIAS-xenios
    From him is my name Xenios -Xenia for the feminin means hospitality

    Greek Mythology - Gods & Goddesses
    Zeus
    Zeus, the powerful god, the king of gods and humans. He was the sixth child of Kronos and Rhea. He managed to dethrone his father and become the ruler of the world. His symbol and his weapon was the thunderbolt. Hephaestus was making them for him. He sat on a golden throne in the god's palace, on mount Olympus. From there, he was ruling the world. He was fair but tough. Albeit to the human or god, that went against his will. The king of gods would throw the thunderbolts without mercy.
    His face had an unusual beauty. Every one of the gods respected Zeus. Next to him was the throne of his wife Hera. Zeus loved and respected his wife but was also famous for his affairs with other women.

    Zeus had many battles when he was trying to take Kronos' throne. He fought his father and the titans. He also fought with Typhoeus (Τυφωνέας) a monster, son of earth, that had 100 dragon heads. But who could go against Zeus' power and his thunderbolts?
    The ancient Greeks adored him. They believed in his fairness. Many temples and statues were built for him. One of the most renown was the statue of Olympian Zeus in ancient Olympia (Ολυμπία).
    my favorite heroe is Hercules...and most sad is the story how he killed his sons((((
