The great Olympian goddess of the earth is Demeter and more as the goddess of producing fruit, and consequently of agriculture, whence human food or bread. She was looked upon also as the goddess of marriage and was worshipped especially by women. Demeter was depicted as a mature woman, often crowned and holding sheaf of wheat and a torch.

Demeter was the daughter of Cronus and Rhea, and sister of Hestia, Hera, Aides, Poseidon, and Zeus. Like the other children of Cronus she was devoured by her father, but he gave her forth again after taking the emetic which Metis had given him.

As agriculture is the basis of a well-regulated social condition, Demeter is represented also as the friend of peace and as a law-giving goddess.

Why are people addicted to myths? That’s the question almost everyone had been talking about. For me, reading Greek mythologies is so exciting. It is like being in a whole other dimension. Thinking about the supernatural capabilities of the gods and goddesses really enhances my imagination to the point that I consider myself as one of them too.

If I would be given a chance to be a goddess for a day, I would be Hestia. Most people know Hestia as the virgin goddess of the hearth, architecture, and the right ordering of domesticity, the family, and the state.

She is one of the goddesses of the first Olympian generation, along with Demeter and Hera. She was a daughter of the Titans Rhea and Cronus, and the eldest and youngest sister to Zeus, Poseidon, Demeter, Hera, and Hades. She also rejected the marriage suits of Poseidon and Apollo, and swore herself to perpetual virginity.

I know that most of us think that Hades, a Greek god is bad or an antagonist because he is the "God of the Underworld" but no, he is one of the Greek god who is kind and trustworthy according to our Social Science III teacher. Before I compare my personality with the Greek god Hades let me tell you something about the Greek god Hades.

Hades was the King of the Underworld, the god of death and the dead.The name Hades is also synonymous to the word "Hell". He presided over funeral rites and defended the right of the dead to due burial. Hades was also the god of the hidden wealth of the earth, from the fertile soil with nourished the seed-grain, to the mined wealth of gold, silver and other metals.

Hades was devoured by Kronos as soon as he was born, along with four of his siblings. Zeus later caused the Titan to disgorge them, and together they drove the Titan gods from heaven and locked them away in the pit of Tartarus. When the three victorious brothers then drew lots for the division of the cosmos, Hades received the third portion, the dark dismal realm of the underworld, as his domain.

Mortals! Bow down before the mighty God Hades! For your souls will be his property when your day has come... Nah just kidding.

Wazzup everybody! I created this article to give some information about the scary, hideous, "unseen one", harsh, yet soft-hearted God of the underworld, Hades.

So, the God Hades (also known as Pluto in Roman) was the ancient Greek God of the underworld, which means he rules among the souls of the dead. Hades was the Oldest among the three sons of Cronus. His mother was Rhea, and his brothers and sisters were Zeus, Poseidon, Demeter, Hestia, and Hera. Among the gods, Hades got the power to rule over the Underworld, and the souls of the dead. Because Hades lives in the Underworld, he was called the "unseen" one because only those souls of the dead ones can see him.
