In Greek mythology, there were 12 Gods!

Let's watch a video about the symbols of the Gods.

In Greek mythology, there were 12 Gods who resided at the top of Mount Olympus. Each God possessed power, beauty, and mysterious abilities, as well as unique symbols that characterized them.The 12 gods were Zeus, the father of the gods and ruler of all, who hurled lightning bolts to punish mortals. His symbol was the lightning bolt. Hera, the queen of the gods, sister, and wife of Zeus, was the goddess of marriage, women, and family. Her symbol was the scepter. The father of Hercules was the god Zeus and Alcmena, not the wife of Hera. Apollo, the god of the sun and music, had the lyre as his favorite and symbolic musical instrument. Poseidon, the god of the sea and earthquakes, had the trident as his symbol. Hades, brother of Zeus, resided in the underworld, and his symbol was the scepter with an eagle. Athena, daughter of Zeus and goddess of wisdom, was symbolized by the owl. Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, had symbols of doves and the rose. Artemis, the goddess of hunting and archery, was symbolized by the deer. Hephaestus, the god of fire, metalworking, and sculpture, had symbols of the anvil and the hammer. Hermes, the messenger of the gods, god of commerce and travelers, had symbols of a caduceus with two small wings and two snakes wrapped around a staff. Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and fertility, had the torch as her symbol. Ares, the god of war, who loved battles, was symbolized by the shield of war.

Apollo was the god who symbolized light, rebirth and protected the music and divination art.The Oracle of Delfhi was the largest and the richest one in the Ancient Greece.You can read more about the oracle by pressing the button down below.

The Goddess Athena and the God Hermes helped Hercules in every difficulty

Eurystheus was born prematurely!

Until the age of 18, he grazed his father's flocks

Amphytrionas, knowing from the seer Teiresias about the future of Heracles, took care to raise and train him, offering him all the supplies.

Τhe children saw Amphitryon's palace and through google map we found its location which was in Thebes. After, they found the mountain of Kitherona, where he sent him to trusted sherherds to guard the flocks in the mountains.

Iphicles (sometimes spelled Iphiclus) was the twin half-brother of the Greek hero Hercules, born one night after Hercules. But they didn't have the same father. Iphicles never became a king, being more of a freelance hero.Both Heracles and Iphicles grew to be robust and brave men. The spotlight was on Heracles since birth, but Iphicles wasn’t a weak man. Although this had limits, and of course Iphicles was not able to match the god-enhanced strength of Heracles.

HERCULES HAD A TWIN BROTHER

Zeus, in order to bring forth Hercules as the leader of his generation on Earth, chose Alcmene. Not only for her beauty and many virtues but also for her divine lineage. He appeared before her in the form of her husband, Amphitryon, and on the night they lay together, she conceived Hercules. The next day, from her union with Amphitryon, the conception of Iphicles emerged.When Hercules was born,he resembled his father Zeus in strength. Hercules resembled his father Zeus in strength. Amphitryon, aware of Hercules' future through the seer Tiresias, took care to raise and train the child, providing him with all the necessary tools. He learned to read and write, the lyre, archery, wrestling, boxing, chariot racing, and horsemanship. He also learned how to use the spear and shield and even studied music. However, Hercules was so strong and quick to anger. To prevent him from unintentionally causing harm, he was sent away from the city and sent to Cithaeron to guard his father's herds in the mountains.

Multiple choice questions

Hercules was at a crossroads considering which career path to take and was contemplating his options. As he stood there, two beautiful women approached him. Vice and Virtue. Vice advised that true happiness could only be achieved through hard work and the pursuit of noble goals. Virtue argued that her path was the easier and more enjoyable option. In the end, Hercules made the difficult choice to follow Vice and pursue a virtuous and fulfilling life. He understood that the path to true happiness was not always easy, but it was worth the effort.
