Greeks gods

Gods and Goddesses

  • What is unique about the Greek's relationship with their gods is the interaction with humans.
  • Poseidon (God of the sea) interfered with Odysseys trying to return home in the Odyssey
  • Aphrodite (Goddess of love) had lovers of both God's and men
  • Dionysus (God of wine) was a son of zeus (a God) and of Semele (a human princess)
  • and on and on and on
The Greek Gods were important and they had a lasting impact in the society and Greek culture. They shaped the lives for the citizens and carried many stories that enriched Greek culture. Even though they were not real, they were a crucial aspect in the lives of Greeks.
