The Olympians

The Olympians were the gods that were worshipped the most by the ancient Greeks. The father of the Olympians was Zeus, god of lightning. He controlled the weather. He was part of the “Big Three” Olympians, who were the sons of Kronos, who was the major Titan. The other two “Big Three” were Poseidon, god of the sea and Hades, god of the underworld. Zeus’s wife Hera is the goddess of heaven and marriage. Their sons and daughters are the rest of the Olympians. They are: Athena, goddess of wisdom; Hephaestus, god of forging and mechanics; Hermes, god of messengers, travelers, and thieves; Apollo, god of the sun; Artemis, goddess of the hunt and archery; Ares, god of war; Aphrodite, goddess of love; Demeter, goddess of plantation and fertility; and Hestia, goddess of the hearth. Together, they are the Olympians. After you read this, you can comment to say who your favorite Olympian is. I’d like to see which Olympian is the favorite. So I will talk to you later.

Jobs

Everyone has a different idea of what they want to be when they grow up. As for me, I want to be an inventor. Being an inventor is a major goal for a lot of Ekats (refer to past post: The 39 Clues), as well as some people who aren’t Ekats (or Cahills). If inventing doesn’t work out, I’ll probably go for being an architect. It will help me out when I prove myself to the branch. I will be able to build hiding places. I won’t however, leave hints for other Ekats to find my clue like the Janus Lahauri did. It led ME to his clue. A forensic anthropologist would also be a very cool job. So anyway, I’m dying to know. What do you want to be when you grow up, what are you doing now, or what you wish you became. I’m just curios. You don’t have to if you don’t want to. But if you do, I’ll comment you back saying what branch you could be in. Okay. I’ll talk to you later.

The Hope Diamond

The Hope Diamond, originally called the Tavernier Blue, was cut from a big diamond found in the middle 1600s by famous diamond-hunter Jean-Baptiste Tavernier (Tomas). The Hope Diamond is supposedly cursed. Whoever has it is apparently going to suffer a tragedy in life. In fact, there was a list of five victims, the tragedy, and when it occurred, and three of the five were killed. The curse is determined real. The diamond Tavernier found was 115.16 karats. It was cut for the French King Louis XIV. The diamond given to King Louis was 67 karats. The Hope Diamond is 45.52 karats. If you do the math, there are 2.64 karats remaining. There is no record of a third diamond from the one that Tavernier found. These facts beg the question: What happened to the rest of the karats?
