Most people are probably familiar with Zeus. He is the supreme god of the Olympians and conquered the throne because he defeated his father Cronus and the Titans. Two of his brothers rule over other realms: Poseidon over the sea and Hades over the underworld. Three of Zeus’ sisters reside in Olympus itself: Hestia, the virgin goddess of the hearth, Demeter, the goddess of fertility, and Hera, the goddess of family, motherhood and childbirth. The latter is not only his sister, but also his wife – usually very jealous.
Zeus also had several children on Mount Olympus, whom he fathered with Hera or other goddesses, including the god of war Ares and the goddess of love Aphrodite, the goddess of hunting Artemis and the god of poetry Apollo. They are all described as major gods who fathered countless children with deities or mortals and ruled over many minor deities. Two children that Zeus fathered with mortal women later ascended to Olympus: Heracles and Dionysus. Sounds complicated, doesn’t it? Would you be able to draw an ancient Greek family tree of gods, no? Don’t worry, at first try our Ancient gods quiz- a perfect training!
The ancient deities were no strangers to humanity: they argued and fought, loved and respected each other, formed camps and schemed against each other. It was precisely their humanity that led to cult worship in antiquity.
