Who can give me some pictures of the Twelve Gods of Olympus?

The story of the Twelve Olympian Gods began as early as the 6th century BC. Among these twelve main gods, ten will definitely appear. They are: Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Ares, Hermes, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Athena, Apollo and Artemis. Hestia was originally one of the twelve main gods, but in order to live with mortals, she gave up her position as main god to Dionysus; Demeter had half a year to be with her daughter in the underworld Living with Persephone, she would give up her position as chief god to Hades. The main god of Olympus won his transcendent status among the gods because Zeus and his brothers and sisters worked together to defeat the Titans.

Zeus's symbols were the eagle, the oak tree, and the mountain; his favorite sacrifices were the she-goat and the white bull whose horns were painted gold. When Zeus was born, his father Cronus was in power, and his mother Rhea was afraid that Zeus would be swallowed up by his father. Note: Cronus had been prophesied that his child would take his place, so he left his wife Rhea The first five children born to Zeus were all eaten, but Zeus escaped, so he was hid in Crete and handed over to three female fairies to raise him - on the island, a female goat provided him with sacred food. and an eagle brought him ambrosia; and whenever he cried, Rhea's servants would come to the cradle to dance for Zeus, and beat his daggers against the shields to cover up his cries. Ronos never discovered this secret. Zeus thrives on the island day by day. One day, while playing with the female goat, he accidentally pushed her down and broke a beautiful horn. The fairy Amalthea hurriedly treated her injury, and Zeus picked up the horn, gave it magical power, and gave it to the kind fairy. This ram's horn has since been called the "Horn of Plenty" because it can produce all kinds of delicious food.

They love black the most, and their favorite sacrifices are black ewes or black bulls wrapped in black gauze. Introduction to Hades After people die, they are taken to the underworld by Hermes, the god of guidance. Here, a black river flows fiercely, the Acheron - the river of pain. The river blocks the way forward, and only a bearded boatman named Karon can ferry the undead to the other side. However, the undead must pay a certain river crossing fee before boarding the boat, otherwise they will wander along the banks of the River of Pain and cannot find a home. After crossing the river, there is a vast gray plain called the Fields of Truth, which connects two roads, leading respectively to the place of happiness - Elysee Paradise and the place of pain - Hell. The undead were judged by the three judges of the underworld, Minos, Rhadamandas and Aeacus, in front of the judgment seat in front of the Garden of Truth. The guilty people will receive varying degrees of punishment in hell according to their crimes, while the innocent people will be able to live a happy life of having no worries about food and clothing, singing in the wind and enjoying the moon in the beautiful and peaceful Elysee Paradise.

The owl with its eyes shining at night, as well as the rooster and the poisonous snake, are all symbols of the bright-eyed goddess Athena. 8. Hermes (God of Peeping): The son of Zeus and Maia, the daughter of Atlas. With wings on his feet, he is as fast as flying. He became the messenger of the gods in the heavens and later became the protector of travelers, merchants and thieves. He often transformed into a mortal in the lower world to help protect the protectors. He was the smartest and cunning god. He moved swiftly and gracefully, and his feet wore He wears winged sandals, a low-crowned hat with wings on his head, and holds a magic wand with twin snakes in his hand. 9. Hephaestus, God of Fire: Son of Zeus and Hera. Being ugly and lame is a major blemish on the beautiful world of gods! Although she is ugly, she is gentle, loves peace, and is very popular in heaven and earth. 10. Apollo: The sun god, son of Zeus and Leto, brother of the moon god and the hunting goddess Artemis, one of the twelve major Greek gods, also known as Helios. In charge of light, medicine, literature, poetry, music, etc. Every day a golden chariot rides on a horse and rides around the sky for a week. The laurel tree is his sacred tree, and his favorite pets are dolphins and crows. 11. Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty: Aphrodite (also translated as Aphrodite) is a Greek mythology God of love and beauty, daughter of Zeus and Dione. The Latin word for Venus and "Friday" are both derived from her Roman name. The counterpart to Aphrodite in Roman mythology is Venus. Aphrodite was born from Zeus and Dione. Another theory is that she was born from the remains of the god Uranus and was born from the foam in the sea. Aphrodite has the most perfect figure and appearance in ancient Greece, symbolizing love and female beauty, and is considered the highest symbol of female physical beauty. Because of Aphrodite's beauty, all the gods pursued her. Zeus (her father) also pursued her but was rejected, so Zeus married her off to the ugly and lame god of fire, Hephaestus. But she loved Ares, the god of war, and gave birth to the little god of love Eros (Roman name Cupid) and several other children with Ares. The myrtle is her sacred tree and the dove is her love bird. Swans and sparrows are also favored. 12. Moon Goddess Artemis: Artemis is the twin sister of Apollo and one of the three virgin goddesses. Moon goddess, goddess of hunting, god of purity.

Dionysus, the god of wine, is the same god as Bacchus believed by the Romans. He is the god of wine believed by the Thracians in ancient Greece. He not only holds wine With his intoxicating power, he also gave joy and love and became a very inspiring god at that time. He promoted the civilization of ancient society, established laws, and maintained world peace. In addition, he protected Greek agriculture and theater culture. In the legend of the Holy Mountain of Olympia, he is the son of Zeus and Semele, and some say he is the son of Zeus and Psephone. The ancient Greeks' sacrifice to Dionysus was one of the secret religious rites, similar to the Eleusinian secret rites for Demeter and Persephone. In Thracian rituals, he wore fox fur, which was said to symbolize new life. The Dionysian carnival ceremony dedicated to Dionysus is the most secret religious ceremony. The first theory is that Dionysus is the son of Zeus and Semele. Semele was the princess of Thebes. Zeus fell in love with her and had a tryst with her. Queen Hera was very jealous when she learned about it and became the princess's nanny. She encouraged the princess to make a request to Zeus to see the true body of Zeus to verify Zeus's love for her. her love. Zeus couldn't resist the princess's request and showed his true form - the God of Thunder. As a result, Semele was burned to death in the thunder and fire. Zeus rescued the infant Dionysus, who was less than a month old, and sewed him in his thigh until he was full. The moon took him out, because when he was in Zeus's thigh, Zeus walked like a lame, hence the name ("Dionysus" means "lame person"). The second theory is that Dionysus is the son of Zeus and Persephone. Hera sent the Titans to kill the newborn Bacchus and destroy his body, but Zeus rescued his heart and allowed his soul to be reincarnated into Semilie's body for rebirth. As a result, the story about the rebirth and immortality of the god of wine spread throughout Greece, making people worship him endlessly. When Dionysus became an adult, Hera still refused to let him go, driving him crazy and wandering around. In the process of wandering on the earth, he taught the farmers how to make wine, and thus became the God of Dionysus. He was also one of the favorite gods of ancient Greek farmers. Every year, he was commemorated with sacrifices to Dionysus, and from this, ancient Greek tragedy developed.
Dionysus, also known as Bagus in Rome, was the god of plants and the patron saint of grape growing and winemaking. Originally not the main god of Olympus. 14. Vesta, the goddess of chastity (called Hestia in Greek mythology), the protector of stoves and families, helps Juno take care of family life affairs. She represents female chastity, virtuousness, kindness, and diligence. She never marries and has a place in every family. The fire on the stove represents her existence. However, she rarely participates in the affairs of the gods and has a low status in the world. This is also the reason why women have a low status in a patriarchal society. A side reflection. In Greek mythology, she was the daughter of Cronus and Rhea, the sister of the main god Zeus, and helped Hera take care of family life. Zeus arranged a place for her on Mount Olympus. She was originally one of the twelve main gods, but in order to live with mortals, she gave up her position as main god to Dionysus, the god of wine. 15. Demeter, the goddess of spring, is the goddess of fertility, agriculture and forestry. She is the daughter of Cronus and Rhea, the second sister and fourth wife of Zeus. She has a gentle attitude and a warm smile. She is beautiful and gentle. She controls the growth of plants and gives birth to life on the earth. She taught people to cultivate and give life to the earth. She gave birth to Persephone with Zeus. But don’t think that her sacrifice is forever and without price. If you anger our gentle goddess with laziness and greed, her punishment will not be inferior to that of any angry god. Persephone was later kidnapped by Hades to become Queen of the Underworld. Because of the loss of her daughter, she had no interest in farming, causing the earth to lose its vitality. It was not until Zeus came forward that the mother and daughter could reunite, and the earth was reborn. Every winter is the day when she reunites with her daughter. She puts down work to be with her daughter, making this time unsuitable for farming. In Roman mythology she was mixed with Ceres. She was kind and gentle, but when Pluto stole her daughter, she was furious.
