Believe it? No. Enjoy it? Yes. I’ve always thought the stories were interesting and have a greek mythology book on my shelf in fact.

Apollo, Bacchus or Dionysos (I can never remember which is Greek and which is Roman), umm…that’s pretty much it, I guess.

Greek Gods > Roman Gods. All i got to say about that even though they are basically the same gods. Greek gods were always chiseled and always pissed off at something.

Anything that has sex in Greek Myths are interesting like Oepidus.

books say they were real people in the world but just immortal in just living a regular life with special powers

Heracles (more commonly known as Hercules) had his share (“countless” to be precise)of male “relationships,” but if they put that in the Disney movie, it would be rated NC-17 or something :O

I say we have a vote for the “busiest” god.

I’d have to say Zeus… He raped some chick as a swan.
Or maybe Hermes.. He had it on with some sheep and stuff. Oh, and his name looks like herpes :o

Yeah. Greek Mythology is kinda weird o.0

Oh yeah… naming:
Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Athena, Hermes, Aphrodite, Dionysus, Ares… I could go on and on. Thanks to the Odyssey.

Hephaestus was a bit of a dude

Greek Mythology is interesting, with some excellent and epic tales. However no-one has believed it for ~2000 years. Around then the Romans absorbed it and eventually replaced both with christianity. Excellent stories lieve on however. As for bustiest god, I’m gonna say Athena.

Greek God-Roman God

Posidon-Neptune

Ares-Mars

etc.

Demeter, Persephone, Artemis (Apollo’s twin), Cronos, Gaia, Hera, Thetis, Helios, Hestia… in addition to important gods and goddesses there are a whole slew of lesser functional gods, like Nike, the god of victory, who inspired a line of footwear you may have heard of. Plus, a bunch of demi-gods like Pan, the goat-god of the forest, who we named a flute after, other crazy immortals like the nyads and dryads, and you got some Titans, like Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Atlas, who has a really cool story and is being referenced any time you see one of those statues in a public square with a dude holding up a globe on his back.

I love this stuff. :P

have you guys played god of war 1 and 2? it kinda relates to some greek methology

 
avatar for ZachAttack ZachAttack 1311 posts

It BARELY relates to Greek Mythology. I personally like how the Greeks thought how the Universe began.

 
avatar for unproductive unproductive 4000 posts

It relates to Greek mythology in the same way that The Mighty Thor relates to Norse mythology.

 
avatar for JudeMaverick JudeMaverick 3062 posts

It does resemble a bit. Kratos is a son of Zeus.

 
avatar for Trotim Trotim 134 posts

I don’t believe it either, but it’s more enjoyable than say Christianity.

 
avatar for chiuy1 chiuy1 648 posts

was kratos a god then??? or was he just a mortal god?

 
avatar for mrhthepie mrhthepie 1025 posts

Kratos was made up for God of War I think. I’ve never heard of him before then, but it’s easily possible he’s a minor character I’ve forgotten/missed.

Interesting point, Artemis is god of the moon, and Apollo is her brother, and god of the harvest. So NASA failed in naming the missions.

they should name their next mission zeus…lol
