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.
