Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses

When people think about Greek religion or mythology, they naturally think about the myriad of Greek gods and goddess - but it is important to remember that none of these divinities can be entirely understood alone. Each is defined in relation to the others and separating one from the rest is like trying to separate a single strand of thread from a blanket. The Greek gods, unlike the gods and goddesses of many other cultures, are very similar to human beings. They fight, they lie, they make war, had favorite people or cities, and they experienced the entire gamut of human emotions. To be quite frank, the Greek deities were not especially moral beings - a far cry from the moral perfection ascribed to the Christian god. The Greeks, however, did not think in such terms. The gods and goddesses were neither good nor bad, they just were. Image Gallery of Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses...
