Earth-Mother: A Divinity of Great Importance

Nowadays, Greek Mythology had been fab among children and teens. From fictional books (ex. The Lightning Thief which is the first mythological book I have read) to movies, all these things were patronage by this generation. Belong to this group, I'm also a fan of Greek Mythology. Started as a reader of Rick Riordan's book when I was in third year, I now became a big fan of Riordan's legacy. I don't know what things I find great in reading mythological stories of gods and goddesses. I just like it. Period. And if I will have given a chance to meet one Greek god, I will choose Demeter- one of the goddesses of Mt. Olympus

Demeter was my all-time favorite among the gods and demigods in Mt. Olympus. She was the most generous of the great Olympian goddesses. Born as the daughter of Cronus and Rhea, granddaughter of Gaia and sister-consort of Zeus, Demeter was beloved by it's service to mankind. Derived from the word 'ge meter' which means earth-mother, she was the goddess of harvest, corn, grain, earth and season. Also known as the Roman goddess Ceres, she was remembered as the kindest god for giving people a gift from harvest, a bountiful fruits and a perfect season. Demeter was also credited for teaching people how to grow and preserve grains and rewarded for being responsible for the fertility of the lands.

A series of entrapment operations recently conducted by police and Globe Telecom security personnel resulted in the arrest of three individuals involved in the illegal sale of WIMAX modems.

Arrested in the initial entrapment operation was Alvin Garcia, also known as Boy Pasay Wimax, a resident of Merville Km, 12 Access Road, Baranggay 20,1 Zone 20 in Pasay City. A follow-up operation at his residence led to the seizure of 4 Globe WIMAX modems, a computer set and around 100 pieces of Globe Sims, which are apparently used by the suspect to clone or reconfigure Sim cards for unlimited data surfing.

Police authorities also recovered from him his personal phone which showed various transactions of WIMAX selling activities confirming he is indeed Boy Pasay Wimax.

Aphrodite : Olympian Goddess of Love and Beauty

Aphrodite is the great Olympian goddess of beauty, love, pleasure and procreation. She was depicted as a beautiful woman usually accompanied by the winged godling Eros (Love). Her attributes included a dove, apple, scallop shell and mirror. In classical sculpture and fresco she was often depicted nude. Aphrodite may have been the most attractive goddess, but according to the Iliad (the famous poem by Homer), she was a rather weak, frightful goddess.

I chose her because Aphrodite symbolizes beauty, love and eternal youth. During the early times, Greeks used to seek Aphrodite when they have problems and concerns regarding love. Aphrodite's symbols were the girdle (which she was using to compel love), the seashell and the mirror. Her sacred animal was the dove.
