[Edit]A Closer Look at Greek Mythology
Greek mythology may not be used as a belief system anymore, but it continues to have an undeniable influence on modern society. Just take a look at popular brands like Goodyear (a tire company with the winged shoe of Hermes as its logo), Ajax (a type of cleaning supply named after a Greek hero), and Pandora (a jewelry company named for a woman made by the Greek gods).
Greek mythology has also made a name for itself in the world of modern fiction—most notably in Rick Riordan’s iconic Percy Jackson universe, which has over a dozen books, 2 movies, and a Disney+ TV show.
Whether you’re reading Greek mythology straight from the source (like Edith Hamilton’s Mythology) or through a fun retelling (like Riordian’s debut novel The Lightning Thief), one thing stays consistent: the Greek gods are one big, messy family.
Who were the Greek gods?
The Greek gods were a race of divine beings thought to preside over different aspects of society. They’re descended from the Titans, another race of divine beings that the Greek gods ultimately fought against and defeated for ultimate control of the universe (in a conflict known as the Titanomachy). Some of the most well-known gods and goddesses in the Greek pantheon include:
- Zeus: God of the Sky (and King of the Gods)
- Hera: Goddess of Marriage
- Poseidon: God of the Sea
- Demeter: Goddess of Agriculture
- Hestia: Goddess of the Hearth
- Ares: God of War
- Athena: Goddess of Wisdom
- Apollo: God of Prophecy
- Artemis: Goddess of Hunting
- Hephaestus: God of Fire
- Aphrodite: Goddess of Love
- Hermes: God of Travelers
- Dionysus: God of Wine
- Hades: God of the Underworld
- Iris: Goddess of the Rainbow
- Hypnos: God of Sleep
- Nemesis: Goddess of Retribution
- Nike: Goddess of Victory
- Hebe: Goddess of Youth
- Tyche: Goddess of Fortune
- Hecate: Goddess of Magic
Note: This is not a comprehensive list of all the aspects of life the Greek gods and goddesses ruled over. Many ruled over multiple domains (e.g., Hermes, Apollo, etc.).
What are demigods?
Demigods are individuals who are half god and half human. They’re typically born when Greek gods have affairs with mortals—Achilles (son of Thetis), Heracles (son of Zeus), Theseus (son of Poseidon), and Perseus (son of Zeus) are just a few of the more well-known figures from Greek mythology.
Riordan’s series Percy Jackson & the Olympians, The Heroes of Olympus, and The Trials of Apollo take place in a world of modern-day demigods, where children of the Greek gods learn more about their birthright and what Fate has in store for them.
