Also he could create storms to sink ships or clear the weather to help them along. This God has many siblings like Zeus, Hera, Hestia, Hades and Dmeter. One interesting fact about him is that he won the battle with the titans along with his brothers. After their victory, he, Hades and Zues divided the earth in three sections. Zeus took the sky, Hades took the underworld and he took the sea. Lastly this deity lives in the Atlantis palace which is located deep underwater in Poseidon’s domain, which is the sea. Also he lives in Mount Olympus along with twelve other Olympian gods.
- This person is a very powerful deity coming from Greek mythology. She is the goddess of war, handicraft and practical reason. Her father is Zeus. This is the god of the sky in Greek mythology. He is considered the ruler, protector and father of all gods and humans. This goddess had a rival too, his name was Poseidon. Both her and Poseidon wanted to be the patron god of the Greek city-state of Athens. She presented an olive tree which would produce wood, olives, and olive oil. Poseidon created a horse. Athena won the contest and became the patron goddess of Athens. This goddess was blessed with incredibly high intelligence. She often helped people with war strategy and by giving heroes corrage. This made people worship Athena for her good deeds.
- This term has a very similar meaning to religion. This term is a state of the mind when we consider something true, even though we are not 100% sure or able to prove it. Religion is a collection of cultural systems, belief systems and world views that relate humanity to moral values. Moral values are behaviour, goals and habits, which are validated by the society we are part of. A good example of the term is the belief in the existence of god. This could also be faithfulness or hope to someone or something.
- A traditional story containing unrealistic events and supernatural beings that people used a long time ago to use as answers to philosophical questions like “How was the world created?” or “What happens after you die?”.
- This is the god of the sky in Greek mythology. He is considered the ruler, protector and father of all gods and humans. He is an older man with a beard and is represented with symbols such as lightning bolts and the eagle. He has many siblings like Poseiden and Hades, together they overthrew the titans and divided earth amongst them. Poseidon took the sky, Haded took the underworld and Poseidon took the sea.
- This is a non-gendered god or goddess. A god or goddess is a supernatural being that isn’t a normal human being, but can contain some characteristics that normal humans have. This god or goddess is very powerful and has the ability to do things humans can’t, by using their powers. This term could be used in any mythology or religion, especially the ones that believe in more than one god (Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Chrystian, Buddhism etc).
Down
- This is a system in which you are ranked according to authority. This could be according to your relatives. For example in the middle ages, the quality of your life would depend on whether you are royalty, a peasant, knight etc. Another example of this could be in Greek mythology. In Greek mythology you could be ranked according to power. Some deities are more powerful than others, which makes them more well known, worshiped and/or praised. The last example of this term is work positions, according to your work position, could be the amount of respect you receive from your peers. Some believe this was a reasonable rule in quality of life, but it is a very sensitive and controversial topic. Also a lot of bias includes this discussion, since you don't know the quality of someone’s life if you’ve never experienced it.
- This is a supernatural ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way that may not seem normal to regular humans. This could be something you are born with or develop over time, something that is caused by something inside you and is learnt to be controlled over time. Another way to look at this, is to picture someone doing a hard task very easily because of a simple command done with their body. For example Poseidon’s could control the entire sea and create storms, which is very hard for ordinary humans. Other examples of this term are invisibility, super speed, mind reading etc.
- Act of expression or devotion, usually towards a deity. This is the act of adoration towards their actions and identity in general. Also could be recognition of a god, performed individually or in a group. For example many people praise Zeus for his actions or decisions, they want to be just like him or help him throughout their lives as much as they can.
- olympus This is where all the important and most powerful twelve olympians live and were raised in (Poseidon, Hades, Zeus, Hera etc). This is located on the highest mountain in Greece in Thessaly. The mountain was created after the “Titanomachy”, which is an epic battle between the young olympians and the titans. Zeus, who overthrew his father (Cronos), rules the place on the throne.
- A territory or area controlled or owned by the government or a particular ruler. This could also be what a specific ruler is in charge of or their responsibilities. For example Poseidon is in charge of not letting unwanted fishermen or sailors pass the seas. This could also be where a specific deity lived, grew up in or was raised in.
