The first thing to do is gather supplies. For this Notebook Journal you only need a 1/2 inch binder to hold the pages. You can use use whatever you have on hand! Print out the pages and three hole punch them or put them in sheet protectors. Use some colored pencils or markers to color in the notebook sheets if you’d like! Start your journey into Greek Mythology! A Note to Parents There are questions and assignments in this notebook journal that will have your children doing their own research. In the course of doing my own research I found that there is some unsavory and questionable material. Some of the myths are violent and disturbing. I did not include any of these types of myths in this journal. If you are concerned with what they may come across while researching I would help them or place a filter on the search. 5 Greek Mythology The Twelve Olympians—Notebook Journal "Greek - Procession of Twelve Gods and Goddesses - Walters 2340" by Anonymous (Greece) Walters Art Museum – Wikipedia Zeus Hera Poseidon Athena Demeter Apollo Artemis Ares Aphrodite Hephaestus Hermes Hestia or Dionysus There are only twelve major deities. Dionysus or Hestia completes the twelve. Which god completes the twelve can change depending on who is telling the tale. Hades, although brother to five of the twelve major gods, was not part of the main twelve. Hades resided in the underworld, not on Mount Olympus. Because of this he was not included in the twelve major gods. 6 Zeus King of the gods and god of the sky. Last born son and child of Titans Cronus and Rhea. Siblings: Hestia, Hera, Demeter, Poseidon, and Hades. Married to Hera. Children: Ares, Hebe, Athena, Hephaestus, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Persephone, Dionysus, Perseus, Heracles, Helen of Troy, Minos, and the Muses. Weapon: Thunderbolt forged by the Cyclopes. Armor: Aegis, a sacred shield made by Hephaestus which he later lends to Athena. Sacred Animal: Eagle. Roman Name: Jupiter Zeus is the youngest of the siblings and the only one not swallowed by his father, Cronus, at birth. Rhea, right after Zeus was born, swaddled a stone and gave that to Cronus to swallow instead. There are a few varying stories on how Zeus was raised. 1. He was raised by Gaia (Mother Earth). 2. Raised by Adamanthea, who is a nymph. He was left dangling in a tree so that Cronus, who was the ruler of earth and the heavens, wouldn't find him. 8 3. Raised by Cynosura, a nymph on Mount Ida. She asked several warriors to stand outside the mountain cave and bang their weapons day and night to drown out baby Zeus's wails. Zeus put her among the stars as payment for taking care of him. 4. He was raised by a shepherd family. Zeus needed the help of his siblings to defeat Cronus, so Zeus went up to Cronus's throne, disguised so he wouldn't recognize him, and tricked him into vomiting up Zeus's brothers and sisters. When they were regurgitated, they came out in the opposite order they were swallowed. Zeus also needed the help of the Titans which were Cronus's siblings. He released the brothers of Cronus from Tartarus (Tartarus is a deity and a dungeon prison for the Titans. If judged wicked after death, you were also sent to Tartarus.) where they had been banished by their father. The brothers were Cyclops, Gigantes, and Hecatonchires. The Cyclopes gave Zeus lightning and thunder as a gift to thank him for releasing them. Zeus, with his brothers, sisters and the released Titans, defeated Cronus and sent him to Tartarus. After Cronus was defeated, Zeus shared the world with his brothers Poseidon and Hades. They drew lots to decide which part of the world they would rule. Zeus drew the sky and air, Poseidon drew the sea and Hades the Underworld. Gaia was angry at Zeus for banishing her sons, the Titans he defeated, to Tartarus. She then made the Typhon with Tartarus, the god, so that Zeus could be eliminated. Zeus was triumphant after hurling Mount Aetna at Typhon and pinning him underneath.
