Things to Remember:
 Zeus fathered many children and supernatural beings such as the Muses and
the Graces. He made these children with mortal women, goddesses, and
titans.
 From the various affairs of Zeus, we learn that even though Greek gods are
immortal, they are born in some way or another.
 The Greek soul is Hades was called a shade because it was a pale reflection of
what it had been while living.
 Be familiar with Dante’s version of the underworld and your opinions about
that particular set-up.
