The Greek gods


The number of Greek Gods is huge
since the ancient Greeks believed in
many deities and spirits. Because
knowledge of the world was limited in
antiquity, the Ancients were attributing
natural phenomena to higher powers.
Gods and goddesses could be found
everywhere and defined the lives of the
people. The twelve gods of Olympus are
the most famous ones and were indeed
at the center of the ancient Greek
religion. However, there were many
more than the twelve, and many of them
were rulers of the cosmos before the
well-known Olympians.

The goddess of beauty and love, born when
Cronus castrated his father, Uranus, and
threw his genitalia into the sea. Her Roman
