Iliad, Achilles called his mother, “Since, my mother, you bore me to be a man with a short life, therefore Zeus of the loud thunder on Olympus should grant me honor at least. But now he has given me not even a little.”(IL. 1.352-354) It’s a universal fact that the Ancient Greeks took glory more seriously than life. Therefore, it is not surprising that Achilles called his mother to beg Zeus to bring glory to him. It is his desire for glory that brought him to Troy and led him to live a short life

In brief this is what happened next. My siblings and I are immortal, meaning we could have spent eons inside of that wacko’s stomach, but miraculously we didn’t. The way we escaped though extraordinary was extremely gross. Lord Zeus and technically my little brother got the jump on Cronos and instead of rashly swooping in on top of him, he and Metis (a good Titan) made a plan to get Cronos to drink this magical potion that would make him regurgitate us. Therein after my Grandma

The Greek civilization formed their gods and goddesses in the form of mankind. Why would they do this? Ancient Greeks had pride. They knew that the human race had come a long way to be where they were, and they saw no reason why humans were not appreciated. The human is a miracle, its strength, courage, endurance, looks, emotions, intellect, everything! Why would not one choose the most intelligent life form on the Earth to represent what might rule us as well? They should be at least equal in

Greek Mythology December 12, 2010 The Greeks looked at their gods with attributes they only wished they could attain.

especially, Hecate was goddess of the Moon, the dark hours, and the Underworld. Midwives were connected with her. Some myths say Hecate was the daughter of the Titans Tartaros and Night; other versions say of Perseus and Asteria (Starry-Night), or of Zeus and Hera. We do know her worship did not originate in Greece. One of her sacred animals was the toad, a symbol of conception. She was called the goddess of transformation as she ruled over the various passages of life, and could change forms or ages
