Long ago, Zeus came down from Mount Olympus to a town named Santorini in Ancient Greece to have a child with a mortal woman that was very beautiful. This woman lived near a mountain in Santorini named μεγάλο βουνό. (Great Mountain) The woman finally gave birth to the boy and named him Lavatinos. He was a very curious boy, as he grew older he asked more and more questions about where his dad was and why his mom wouldn't tell him. Eventually his mom became frustrated with all of the questions being asked, and told him that he was a Demigod, son of Zeus. The boy then wanted to meet his father Zeus, so after much convincing Lavatinos received Zeus’s permission and was sent to Mount Olympus to meet his father. After meeting his father and living at Olympus, Lavatinos became jealous of his father's power and made a plan to steal his father's bolt.

Lavatinos fell back to Santorini and into μεγάλο βουνό, the impact created a crater in the mountain. From the immense heat of Zeus’ bolt and from the height of the impact, all that was left of Lavatinos was an incredibly hot orange liquid that would burn you if you touched it. Lavatinos had power over this liquid and could make it move with him. Lavatinos’ mother named this liquid Lava in memory of her son. Lavatinos was undead he was half alive and half dead. This meant that he was able to stay on earth and in the underworld. Half of Lavatiinos was in the underworld and half stayed in the mountains in the earth. Since the underworld was a place for the dead, Lavatinos now inhabited the underworld. He was now one with Hades. Zeus took pride in what he had created because if it wasn't for Zeus, Φωτιά would have never been created. For this reason Lavatinos was named God of

    . The roles of Zeus, Athena, and Poseidon in the Odyssey either aid or hinder Odysseus’ journey home. First off, when Odysseus was held captive from Calypso,”Hermes explains that he has brought with an order from Zeus that Calypso must not detain Odysseus any longer but send him on his way home.”(Homer 1208). Zeus is considered to be helping Odysseus by agreeing to let him out of the island. Poseidon has been a burden because he heard his son, Polyphemus’ curse towards Odysseus, “O hear me, lord, blue girdler of the islands...grant that Odysseus..[shall] never see his home...dark the years between...Let him lose all his companions”(Homer 1223). Poseidon ends up cursing Odysseus and his crew by sending many storms, delaying the trip, therefore…

    Zeus is not omnipotent as he is most often perceived. He is not the most powerful Greek God, but simply the one who happened to fulfill the prophecy of Cronus’ fall. Although, he was the one appointed the task of releasing his brothers and sisters by prophecy, it was by chance that he happened to be the son that was saved. All the children of Cronus were equal, and Zeus needs the help of all of his siblings to defeat Cronus. The prophecy said a son would be stronger than Cronus but never omnipotent or stronger than other gods. In addition, Zeus did not demonstrate the power of creation alone. In one story, Epimetheus and Prometheus take the responsibility of creating mankind. In another story, it is all the gods that made mankind from metals.…

    In ancient Greek society, Gods were seen as untouchable. They could do what ever they wanted, face no consequences, and were never looked down upon. Zeus took advantage of that power and left Leda to experience the consequences of his actions. The unfortunate event that takes place between Zeus and Leda results in Leda receiving the knowledge and power of Zeus. Leda potentially has the power to see in the future which could be looked at in both negative and positive ways, and she also gained more power than she had before.…

    In Greek mythology there is an innumerable amount of gods, most of which have a specialized function in both the realm of gods and humans. Yet, no god is more striking, more memorable, or more powerful than Zeus, the father of the gods of Olympus. His authority is far-ranging and definite; there is no revoking his command once it has been ordained. In the same fashion, there are hundreds of Greek heroes, yet there are none braver, stronger, or more wrathful than the swift runner Achilles who commands respect from all the Greeks and yields to no man. However, despite all their strength and authority, neither Zeus nor Achilles appears capable of eschewing or defying the omnipresent power that holds more sway than them: fate. Sans doubt, once a human is dealt his hand, there is nothing that he can humanly do in order to prevent his fate. As for the gods, with all their power and independence, they are still undeniably bound by the hands of fate. Fate is a peculiar phenomenon in that it has no limitations, yet it is a fixed occurrence that does not change over time or through the progression of different events that may influence it. Powerful men and gods such as Achilles and Zeus may do as their hearts and minds desire, because there is no one who can stop or defy them. Thus, the role of fate becomes clear, since fate is without desire or mind; its existence is to curb the ridiculous and emotional wishes of powerful beings who cannot be stopped otherwise.…

    Essay On Greek Myths

    “The characters, stories, themes and lessons of Greek mythology have shaped art and literature for thousands of years. They appear in Renaissance paintings such as Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and Raphael’s Triumph of Galatea and writings like Dante’s Inferno; Romantic poetry and libretti; and scores of more recent novels, plays and films.” I think that it is great that the ancient Greeks came up with these myths. When I first started reading and listening about the Greek myths, I thought they were totally absurd. However, I now think that some myths tell entertaining stories and teach great lessons. Through this paper I will tell you about one of the myths we share today in our culture, share what Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung had to say about mythic structures of the human psyche, and explain why myths such as these bring us together socially and culturally.
