For example, Zeus knows that he is the ruler of everything, if he wants to have a baby by a human(which he has done) he will do it just because he is the ruler of everything.

    Gaius, a young boy, that called himself a detective wanted to solve every mystery there was to solve. He was about the age of eight when the Greek goddess of harvest went missing.

    While he is terrible and unsympathetic towards his subjects, he is just, and not an evil god, as he only punishes who deserved to be. His wife is Persephone, whom he abducted from Earth. When an author alludes to Hades, they are portraying a character who is usually reclusive and ill-natured. He or she is not evil, but very selfish and indifferent to other people’s feelings and needs. Although he may be terrible, he or she is not unfair, and will act unforgivingly to those who have committed crimes.…

    Most of the Greek shamanistic tradition relates to oracles, specifically the Oracle at Delphi, who display similar shamanistic traits of communicating with the spirits and gods via altered states of consciousness. That said, this story also relates to themes of spiritual communication and healing, but with a slight twist. This spiritual descent is forced upon Persephone instead of being a willing choice, like Inanna, perhaps being an extension of the idea of evil spirits toying with people. Then, just as she is about to escape, Persephone is permanently bound to the Underworld by eating the pomegranate. The Underworld punishes her for taking from it and thus becomes a part of the Underworld herself.…

    Based on the conflict between Artemis and Aphrodite in Hippolytus, the conclusion which can be drawn is that the Greeks perceived their gods to be selfish, amoral, vengeful and petty, pursuing their own goals in disregard of the moral and responsible path and killing humans to attack the deities which favored said humans; the conflict between Demeter and the rest of the Olympian gods in Hymn to Demeter reinforces the notion that the gods did not care for mortals when solving conflicts between each other, and used mortals as a way to attack each other; and from the conflict between Apollo and the Furies in The Furies, the conclusion is that the Greeks believe the deities will not go to the point of actually harming each other directly, but will…
