In this world people have different beliefs, different perceptions, and different point of views and to make it simple all of us have our own individual differences. Some people won’t agree that there are such gods and goddesses. For me, there are gods and goddesses but they did not exist in our world, they exist in other world. When I was reading about the Olympian gods and goddess, I feel like I am in their world.

Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, just warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill. Athena is also a companion of heroes. She is the goddess of heroic endeavor. She is the virgin patroness of Athens. Athena is a symbolism of brave woman who can fight for what is right. She also has the abilities and skills in being a warrior. She has the strength to fight and the strategy to win a battle. She has the intelligence that helps to make strategic battle in the Athens. She is not just good in battles and intelligent but she also can make arts and crafts in a strategic way also.

Artemis : The Untamed One

When Greece is one of the topics on a discussion, we never forget talking about their Gods and Goddesses. Well, If I'm going to pick one, I will surely pick Artemis. I think that she is very unique among all the Goddesses.

She's the daughter of the God Zeus and Leto, twin sister of the God Apollo. In Rome, she is known as Diana. She's the goddess of the moon, hunting, wild, animals, wilderness , and protector of young girls, bringing and relieving disease in women; she often was depicted as a huntress carrying a bow and arrows.

Artemis as the sister of Apollo, is a kind of female Apollo, that is, she as a female divinity represented the same idea that Apollo did as a male divinity. Pretty cool right? When Apollo was regarded as identical with the sun or Helios, nothing was more natural than that his sister should be regarded as Selene or the moon, and accordingly the Greek Artemis is the goddess of the moon.

Do you guys know who the major Greek gods and goddesses are? Do you even know what Greek mythology is? 

If not then let me give you a quick discussion about them. 

So first, Zeus, which is also the god of sky, the king of all gods has a queen named Hera. Hera is the goddess of marriage. She is responsible for keeping her family united and punished those who will try to make mess with it. Zeus has other siblings named Poseidon (god of the sea), Hades (god of the underworld), Demeter (goddess of harvest and grain), and Hestia (the calm goddess of the hearth). Zeus is a very loving person that is why he ended up having children to other goddesses and nymphs. Two of the offspring of Zeus are Apollo and Artemis. The former is a boy, and the latter is a girl. These two faced many problems even before they were born. But they both conquered and even become one of the major gods and goddesses. They are both my favorite, but I like Artemis most.
