Hi everybody! I just found interesting information about a Greek Goddess. Her name is Athena. Some of you might hear about a city in Greece called Athena, which I think that years ago there was a World Cup. Also, she is a Goddess. I know that in the ancient Greece, Athena was the god of wisdom. But I didn’t know anything about what I’m about to tell you. Here is quick information about her and what she represents or the symbols that represents her. “Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill. She was the favorite child of Zeus. She had sprung fully grown out of her father's head. Her mother was Metis, goddess of wisdom and Zeus' first wife. Athena's companion was the goddess of victory, Nike, and her usual attribute is the owl.” (Tuccinardi, 1997) So, as the information says, she is the goddess of wisdom, war, justice. I think that a there is a series based in her, but I don’t really know the name of it. I think that an interesting fact about her is that she grown out of her father’s head (Zeus). I think is quite wear about it, but she might got all the thought of Zeus and the thinks that he knows about the world. So guys, this is all the information that you need to know about Athena, the goddess of wisdom. I’ll post information in some other time!

Hi guys! I hope you’re doing fine this week and this is the post of today. Hera. A lot of people don’t know her because we obviously know her husband, Zeus! Yeah, I know a little from her but it doesn’t mean I do know all of her. The first thing you have to know is that she is the queen of marriage and childbirth. We’ve been seen a lot of gods but there is no one like her. Here is an interesting fact, she is daughter of Cronus and Rhea and Zeus too. Therefore, SHE IS WIFE AND SISTER OF ZEUS! I mean, it’s quite interesting that the two of them married between each other. Now, here is short information about her. “Hera is Zeus wife and sister. She was raised by the Titans Ocean and Tethys. Shea is the supreme goddess, goddess of marriage and childbirth and takes special care of married women. She was usually depicted as a beautiful women wearing a crown and veil and holding a royal, lotus-tipped staff." (greekmythology.com,2011) So guys, this is all you need to know about Hera. I’ll post next week like I always do. Thanks for comment!

Hey people! Here Alan who I will talk about Dionysus. You probably don’t know who he is. But, As I Investigated, he’s a Greek God that he’s based on wine and ecstasies. So, it’s pretty interesting that there is actually a Greek God about wine, alcohol and drugs. I should tell you guys, that I laugh really hard when I found this article, so in every country there’s something related with this kind of things, like alcohol and drugs. So here is the main information about him. “He was the god of fertility and wine, later considered a patron of the arts. He invented wine and spread the art of tending grapes. He has a dual nature. On one hand bringing joy and divine ecstasy; on the other brutal, unthinking, rage. Thus, reflecting both sides of wines nature. If his choses Dionysus can drive a man mad. No normal fetters can hold him or his followers. Dionysus is the son of Zeus and Semele. He is the only god to have a mortal parent. Dionysus is represented by city religions as the protector of those who do not belong to conventional society and thus symbolizes everything which is chaotic, dangerous and unexpected, everything which escapes human reason and which can only be attributed to the unforeseeable action of the gods.” (greekmythology.com, 2011) So guys, this is everything you have to know about Dionysus. I’ll post next week and keep doing this. Bibliography Greekmythology. Greekmythology.com. 2000. 3 October 2011 .
