All of these gods have something in common. What they have in common is that they are not human. These characters are superior and that is what human nature admires. All of these Gods and Goddesses are powerful and respected. Also, they are ingenious and intelligent.

Demeter is the goddess of harvest, fertility, and grain. Demeter was one of the twelve Olympian gods that lived on Mount Olympus. She was very important to farmers in Greece. Demeter was very powerful and immortal. Her powers were having control over the growing of grains and the harvest. She had control over making plants grow or not grow and control over the seasons. Demeter had control over the weather sometimes and could make people hungry.

Hermes is the son of Zeus. He is the messenger of the gods and the conductor of the death of Hades. He also was the god of roads and doorways, he was the protector of travellers. Any fortunate occurrence would be attributed to Hermes. He was also the patron of music and sometimes he created music itself.

Character Traits

What human nature is reflecting is we must like some traits and admire this stock character because it is still a familiar character. Over the years, Gods and Goddesses have been really important characters in myths, legends, and cultures. Something almost every of these characters have are powers, infinite knowledge, and power over certain things. These are some characteristics I believe people admire of Gods and Goddesses. Also, usually Gods are worshiped, meaning they have a high position and they are powerful. Goddesses are also portrayed as beautiful. Gods and Goddesses are portrayed like this because we like these traits. Most humans want to be powerful so we can also agree that we see Gods and Goddesses as someone we desire to be in the future. Some people even imitate them because they want to feel that type of power over different things, people, or animals.

Differences

Not always Gods think humans are useless, some want to help them like Prometheus.

Towards others

Thoughts

Another difference is that each God and Goddess have a different role and powers. Also, some Gods are superior to others as well as Goddesses. This could be because of their powers or achievements.

Roles and Values

Some of the Gods and Goddesses use their powers correctly and with good intentions but some do otherwise and use them with bad intentions.

Good vs Bad

IB Learner Profile

An IB learner profile I think this stock character lacks is reflective. I think this because in many myths, when a God or Goddess make mistakes they get mad and make the wrong choices and usually punish themselves or even other people for their mistakes. In conclusion, most of the time, Gods and Goddesses won't like to accept their mistakes and move one, instead they blame it on others.

Lacks

An IB learner profile my stock character possesses is thinkers. The reason why I chose this Ib learner profile for my stock character is because Gods and Goddesses make ethical decisions and used their knowledge to create humans with different characteristics.

Possesses

The significance of Gods and Goddesses in many religions and myths is that they created humans. Since they created humans, people think they have to pray these gods to recieve protection and help from them. Myths sometimes include characters that aspire to be like Gods and Goddesses but in real life people who believe in this worship them and respect them. Also, their purpose is to put order in people's lifes. Usually, people and characters think that the world was created by a God and that is why they respect them.
