Ashley Kuntz 3 hour December 2, 2013 Ancient Greek Mythology Mythology there were gods in the B. C. area, now there is a god today so truly not much has changed religion wise we all believe or believed in a higher power above our selves. Greek mythology it in many ways. The history the way they interacted with one another reason it interests me. The titans and the gods the way they fit together. Did does not matter if from the people to the gods. One of the stories of the gods is Cronus the king of the titans. His children became the gods. Cronus ate all of his children. His wife Rhea saved her youngest son and feed Cronus a rock instead of Zeus (Keenan, 62). After Zeus grow up the defeated his father and forced Cronus to throw up Zeus’ siblings.

Other titans are Oceanus, Tethys, Hyperion, Thea, Mnemosyne, Themis, Coeus, Phoebe, Iapetu, Prometheus, and Epimetheus. Those were the titans all of them got exiled, excepted for Prometheus and his brother Epimetheus. They sided with the gods. There were a lot of gods at least fifty-three gods total. The main gods Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter, Hestia. Each of the gods had a special that no other god would have power. Sometime the gods would have more than one pacific power. Like Zeus were the god of the sky and the king of the gods, Poseidon the god of the sea, or Hades the god of the underworld. The other gods’ hade different powers. The minor gods were Aphrodite, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Dionysus, Hephaestus, and Hermes. That was just some of them there is a lot more these are more of the known ones. Some gods and there special ability are Aphrodite the goddess of love, Ares the god of war, Artemis a hunter, Athena goddess of wisdom craft and protector of cities, Hephaestus no special power, and Hermes one of his grim jobs was to bring the dead to Hades. The Greeks worshipped the gods by temples, shrines, statues, and sacrifices. The gods had different ideas about marriage. An example is Zeus married his sister Hera. They also had c
