Greek gods

Greek Gods There are many Pagan Ancient Greek Gods in the pantheon. These are the same as Roman Gods. Zeus the God of the sky, Poseidon the God of the Sea, Hades the God of the Underworld. These three make up the main components of the pantheon.

The pantheon is made up of 12 Gods called Olympians, which turned into the word "Olympics." These Gods took power after defeating the Titans, which included the God of time Cronos, the father of the Gods. Cronos himself is the son of the primordial deities Uranus and Gaia.

These Gods include Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter, Hestia, and the offspring of Zeus; Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Area, Hephaestus, Hermes, and Dionysius. Hades is usually not considered one of the Gods as he does not live on Olympus. Hades has a wife, Persephone.

Zeus

God of the sky, lightning, thunder, law, order and justice. He is the youngest child of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. He is the brother and husband of Hera, brother of Poseidon, Hades, Demeter, and Hestia. He is known for having many affairs with goddesses and mortals including titans. His symbols include many fascist iconographies including the Eagle, oak tree, bull and justice scales. Jupiter.

Hera

The queen of the Gods, goddess of women, marriage, childbirth and family. The youngest daughter of Cronus and Rhea. Her symbols include a cow, peacock and cuckoo. Juno.

Poseidon

God of the seas, water, storms, earthquakes and horses. Middle child of Cronus and Rhea. Symbols include the trident, bull, dolphin and horse. Married to Nereid Amphitrite. Neptune.

Cronus

Other Aspects of Greek Gods

According to myth, the Gods do not have blood instead they have Ichor which is a fluid for Gods and other immortals. It's toxic to humans, and contact kills them instantly upon contact. It retains the qualities of the drink and food of the Gods, nectar and ambrosia. Talos guarded Europa on Crete and threw boulders at intruders until Argonauts came after the acquisition of the Golden Fleece, and the sorceress Medea took out the nail, releasing Talos' ichor and killing him.

Relevance to Fascipedia

In most Greek mythology, there is an explicit fascist bias. The Gods and Titans are explicitly immortal, none of them have been killed even when defeated or cut into pieces or imprisoned. Likewise, the concept of the younger usurping the older; Cronus castrated and lobotomized his father Uranus. Cronus was then usurped by his son, Zeus who freed his siblings that Cronus ate. Afterwards, they cut Cronus into pieces (though he did not die). This can be seen as the Greek concept of immortal bloodlines, from father to son.
Despite this, mortals can rise to Godhood through great acts, Hercules is the best example, a demigod who ascended to Godhood. This is another Fascist concept, that of a humanity as a rising creature, from mortal to immortal. Interestingly, many Greek immortals are constellations, and are made immortal by being turned into stars Greek mythology also details multiple races of man through the ages. First was the Golden race, followed by the Silver Race, Bronze Race, Race of Heroes and finally, the modern Race the Iron Race. It is said that the Bronze race was killed by a flood. These races are defined through a decline and increasing impurity. The Golden Race was marked by a great happiness of all people and a type of equality. Next was a race of greed and disrespect, the Silver race. The Silver Race was destroyed by Zeus. The current race, the Race of Iron has no explicit ending in the Greek mythos.
