Answer 2

Each Olympian God represented real feelings that people had.  They gave creedence to human actions and emotions.  They also gave reason for them to explain things within nature that they otherwise could not comprehend.  If something bad or good happened they could attribute that to a god or goddess being angry or happy.  The Greeks also did not believe that their gods were perfect.  They were immortal, but they had a lot of human passions, which people could relate to.

There were 12 &quot;supreme gods&quot; who were said to live atop Mount Olympus (Olympian Gods).  They were known as the Supreme 12.

Aphrodite:  Love

Dionysus:  God of wine

Athens: Goddess of wisdom and war

Apollo: God of prophesy, music, and healing

Artemis:  Goddess of Hunt

Hera: Goddess of Marriage (wife of Zeus)

Poseidon: God of the Sea (very important to the Greeks)

Hestia:  Goddess of Hearth and Home

Ares: God of war

Demeter:  Goddess of agriculture

Hermes: Messenger of the gods and guide of dead souls

Zeus: Kind of the gods

There were many OTHER GODS besides the Olympians.

Hades: God of the Dead

Hephaestus: God of fire and craft

Pan: God of the woods
