My Greek mythology project By: Keaira Thompson Period: 4

Aphrodite/Venus The Goddess of Love, Desire, and Beauty She is the daughter of Zeus and Dione. She was always searching for a new lover. One of the most known, Ares, the God or War. She abused the fact that she could have anyone she wanted. Of all of her affairs, and children, the most known is Eros, also known as Cupid. She had the power to make people fall in love with her, and other people. She was also connected with the death and rebirth of animals and humans. Aphrodite's symbols were the girdle, the seashell, and the mirror. Her animal was the dove.

Artemis/Diana The goddess of hunt and the moon. She is the daughter of Zeus and a mortal Leto. Artemis twin is Apollo, the god of the sun. When she was younger she asked Zeus to be an eternal virgin. She was one of the three eternal virgins in the Greek mythology. Her symbol was the bow and her sacred animals were the snake and the deer She had all control over nature. Her legend says she would bring good harvest to wherever she was worshiped. Strangely, she killed wild animals, and their protectors.

Hera/Juno Goddesses of marriage. She was the wife of Zeus. She was one of the three sisters of Zeus. His sister, and wife.! (Eww!!) They had four children. Hera's symbol was the pomegranate, and her sacred animal was the peacock.
