Greek Gods and Goddesses
  • By Adon Shapiro

2
Greek Gods and Goddesses
  • Residing on Mt. Olympus are the Greek gods.
    There are never more than twelve at one time and
    there are a few variable gods.

  • Here is a table of all the Greek gods and
    goddesses, in no particular order, to ever be
    considered Olympians.

Hermes Hestia
Demeter Dionysus

Where were they worshipped?
  • The Greek gods were worshipped in temples all
    throughout Greece. There were oracles who
    (supposedly) saw into the future and delivered
    messages from the gods.

Conclusions
  • As you can see the ancient Greeks had a very
    interesting and complex culture which they
    believed in wholeheartedly. I had a lot of fun
    researching Greek mythology and I would do it
    again more extensively anytime.
