		<description><![CDATA[The way the sea horse came to be.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Poseidon thought horses were the most beautiful and elegant land creature there was. He had long looked at them from just under the water, dreaming of having one for himself. He went to Zeus and asked &ldquo;Brother, may I be aloud to have a horse in my undersea kingdom?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Zeus replied &ldquo;No Poseidon. The horse is my most prized creation. I cannot allow you to have one, especially if it was to be kept in your underwater kingdom.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Angry at this, Poseidon decided to challenge his brother to a competition.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He said &ldquo;I bet I could make a creature that surpasses your horse in beauty and power, and if I win, I will be able to keep this creation for all eternity.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Zeus did not want to look weak and not except Poseidon&rsquo;s terms, so he agreed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Poseidon went back to the sea, thinking about ways to create such an animal, but he couldn&rsquo;t think of anything that could beat Zeus&rsquo;s horse. Suddenly, it hit him. If he couldn&rsquo;t beat the horse on land, then he would have to beat it underwater. He started to create his new creature. He called it the Sea Horse.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Poseidon went back to Zeus to challenge him. Zeus said &ldquo;I have decided the fairest way to test our creations skills is to have a race. My horse against your seahorse.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Agreed. Since you picked the type of competition, I get to pick the location. I choose the sea. I will allow your horse to breath under my waters, but no more than that.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Zeus reluctantly agreed to his terms and in the end lost the race because Poseidon&rsquo;s seahorse was built for the sea, and not for the land. His horse could barely move under the water, while the seahorse sped across the finish line. And so, Poseidon got his horse, more or less.</p>

<p>In Greek mythology, Medusa &#8211; the youngest of the Gorgon, monstrous creatures of sea deities Forkisa and Keto.&nbsp;Unlike his immortal sisters, Medusa was mortal.&nbsp;Once she was a beauty, her lovers were Poseidon and Hephaestus.&nbsp;One night she sat down with Poseidon in one of the temples of Athens.&nbsp;Angered by this chaste goddess turned Medusa into covered with scales winged monster with glowing eyes, huge fangs, a drop-down language, sharp claws and snakes instead of hair (some say that Athena did it in retaliation for a daring declaration of Medusa, that she supposedly superior to the goddess of beauty).&nbsp;Terrible Medusa publish a monstrous roar, one of her eyes was enough to make people turned to stone.&nbsp;Perseus beheaded the sleeping Medusa, staring at her reflection in given to him by Athena polished to a shine copper shield. From Medusa&#8217;s dead body appeared Hrisaor warrior and winged horse Pegasus &#8211; the children of Poseidon.&nbsp;Gone in Backpack bag served as head of Medusa Persia reliable weapon with which he drew many of his enemies into stone and then he gave this eerie trophy to Athena, which hoisted him to their auspices.&nbsp;Some argue that the Aegis Athens was made from the skin of Medusa, stripped of the goddess.&nbsp;With two Vials of blood of Medusa, given him by Athena, the famous healer Asclepius could either revive people by giving them blood from the left side of the body Gorgon, or instantly kill them, giving them the blood from the right side of the body.&nbsp;Medusa&#8217;s children and Hephaestus were like &#8211; belching flames from their mouths all the terrible three-headed shepherd-eater &#8211; and his sister, Kaka, who helped Heracles to kill his ugly brother.</p>
<p> Medusa &#8211; mysterious creatures, and sometimes hostile to man.&nbsp;Where this fame does has gone and whether it was established?&nbsp;</p>
<p> Most people at the mere word &#8220;jellyfish&#8221; wince in disgust.&nbsp;And this is understandable &#8211; a pale gelatinous no special sympathy.&nbsp;Meanwhile, a few marine lives can be compared with jellyfish beauty and diversity.&nbsp;Jellyfish are round like a ball, flat as a plate, elongated like a transparent airship.&nbsp;</p>
<p> Giant Arctic waters, red &#8211; the red lion&#8217;s mane, whose dome-shaped body grows to two and a half meters in diameter and bundles of threadlike tentacles squirming, reaching 30 m in length.&nbsp;</p>
<p> Much the same is more modest in size jellyfish Pelagic; it strikes an experienced sailor, a bright light at night in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea.&nbsp;Smallest Medusa &#8211; the size of a thimble.&nbsp;This baby lived in the Caribbean.&nbsp;</p>
<p> Large &#8211; two types: long-eared jellyfish Aurelia and Kornerot.&nbsp;Aurelia has a flattened, slightly pink or slightly purple umbrella.&nbsp;In Kornerot umbrella closer milky-white color, and size it more.&nbsp;</p></p>

<p>Zeus &#8211; King of the Gods <br /><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Olympus_Litochoro.JPG" target="_blank"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2011/04/04/olympuslitochoro_1.jpg" alt="" width="310" height="232" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Image via <a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Olympus_Litochoro.JPG" target="_blank">Wikipedia (The mythical Mt. Olympus in Northern Greece)</a></p>
<p>Mount Olympus is generally identified with         Mount Olympus in Thessaly, which is the highest mountain in Northern Greece, but         it is also identified&nbsp; as a mysterious region high above the clouds.&nbsp; It is here, in this enormous palace that the most important Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Greece ruled.&nbsp; They are called the Olympians.&nbsp; The Olympians are a group of 12 Gods and Goddesses who took rule after overthrowing the Titans.&nbsp; The Olympians are all related in some way.&nbsp; According to the writer Homer, Poseidon says that he rules the         sea, Hades the dead, Zeus the heavens, but Olympus is common to all         three.</p>
<p><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Greek_trinity.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2011/04/04/greektrinity_1.png" alt="" width="373" height="156" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Image via <a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Greek_trinity.png" target="_blank">Wikipedia ( Zeus, Poseidon and Hades)</a></p>
<p>A great gate of clouds was the entrance to Mt. Olympus, kept by the         Seasons. Inside were the gods&rsquo; dwellings where they lived and slept         and held court. They feasted on ambrosia and nectar         and were entertained by Apollo&rsquo;s lyre, the Graces and the Muses.&nbsp; Nectar was a sweet drink made from fermented honey, and ambrosia was         said to be an uncooked mixture of honey, water, fruit, olive oil, cheese         and barley.&nbsp; The private quarters of King Zeus and his wife Hera&#8217;s private quarters were located at         the southern end of Olympus which overlooked the famous Greek cities of         Athens, Thebes, Sparta, Corinth, Argos and Mycanae. At the northern end         of the palace, facing the wild hills of Macedonia, were found the         kitchen, banquet hall, armory, workshops and the servants&#8217; quarters.&nbsp; The other Gods and Goddesses who did not live on Mt. Olympus, such as the gods of the           Underworld, the earth or the sea, would arrive when summoned by Zeus.</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2011/04/04/olymnav_1.jpg" alt="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2011/04/04/olymnav_1.jpg" /></p>
<p>The 12 Olympians are :</p>
<ol>
<li>Zeus &#8211; King of the Gods and ruler of Mt. Olympus</li>
<li>Poseidon &#8211; God of the seas and earthquakes</li>
<li>Dionysus &#8211; God of wine, celebration and ecstasy </li>
<li>Demeter &#8211; Goddess of agriculture and the seasons</li>
<li>Hera- Queen of the Gods and Goddess of marriage and family</li>
<li>Ares &#8211; God of war, violence and bloodshed </li>
<li>Athena -Virgin Goddess of wisdom</li>
<li>Appolo- God of light, music and poetry</li>
<li>Aphrodite &#8211; Goddess of love, beauty and desire</li>
<li>Hermes &#8211; Messenger of the Gods</li>
<li>Artemis &#8211; Virgin Goddess of hunt, virginity and animals</li>
<li>Hephaestus &#8211; God of master blacksmith and craftmanship</li>
</ol>
<p>There were, at various times, fourteen different gods recognized as Olympians, though never more than twelve at one time. Other Gods are associated with the 12 Olympians, they are:&nbsp; Hades, Hestia, Eros, Hercules, Pan and Persophone.&nbsp; Hestia stepped down after Dionysus was offered a seat in Mt. Olympus.&nbsp;  This would make the list a total of 13 gods, so to keep it even she  stepped down to avoid a confrontation.&nbsp; Hades is not included due to his duty in the underworld.&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Homer (Il. 15.184&ndash;93) recounts that when the cosmos was divided among&nbsp;</p>
<p>the gods, Poseidon received the sea as his lot. Yet his first worshipers probably&nbsp;</p>
<p>did not live within sight of the sea. Poseidon was a powerful god among the&nbsp;</p>
<p>Mycenaean Greeks, and his cult is strongest among populations established&nbsp;</p>
<p>in the Greek world before the so-called Dorian invasion. His status was&nbsp;</p>
<p>gradually eroded in the Archaic period, as the process of Panhellenization&nbsp;</p>
<p>required that all the gods of the canon be subordinated to Zeus. Little&nbsp;</p>
<p>concerned with the spheres of justice, invention, or the arts, Poseidon is in&nbsp;</p>
<p>origin a god of elemental, geological forces: life-giving springs, disastrous&nbsp;</p>
<p>floods, chasms through which water flows or recedes, and tremors in the&nbsp;</p>
<p>earth. Ultimately he ruled the vast and unpredictable sea, causing storms and&nbsp;</p>
<p>tidal waves.</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2011/03/24/poseidonart_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>He is often found partnered with Demeter, a clue to his probable origin as&nbsp;</p>
<p>a deity of fresh water. The most commonly cited etymology of his name&nbsp;</p>
<p>recognizes it as a compound: Greek posis or potis, &ldquo;lord, spouse&rdquo; is combined&nbsp;</p>
<p>with an element of unknown meaning, possibly &ldquo;earth.&rdquo;1</p>
<p>&nbsp;Poseidon&rsquo;s name,&nbsp;then, contains the masculine version of the word potnia, or mistress, which is&nbsp;</p>
<p>familiar from the Linear B tablets, while he himself appears in the tablets&nbsp;</p>
<p>from Knossos and especially Pylos. One of his most widespread cult epithets,&nbsp;</p>
<p>Asphaleios (Steadfast), was apparently a euphemism, emphasizing his power&nbsp;</p>
<p>to still earthquakes rather than induce them. In both poetry and cult he is&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ennosigaios (Earth-Shaker) and Gaieochos (Embracer of Earth). This control&nbsp;</p>
<p>over the forces in the earth only occasionally spilled over into agricultural or&nbsp;</p>
<p>chthonic, underworld functions, as at Tainaron, where Poseidon hosted an&nbsp;</p>
<p>oracle of the dead.</p>
<p>Poseidon was also a god around whom many Greeks shaped their ethnic&nbsp;</p>
<p>identities. For the Thessalians, the Boiotians, the people of Trozen, and many&nbsp;</p>
<p>others, he was an ancestor, comparable to Zeus in the large number of heroes&nbsp;</p>
<p>he sired with mortal maidens. Poseidon was an important amphictyonic&nbsp;</p>
<p>deity, which means that his cult was the focus for many federations and&nbsp;</p>
<p>leagues, whose shared interests were based sometimes on tribal affinity and&nbsp;</p>
<p>sometimes on geographical proximity. According to the Homeric Hymn in&nbsp;his honor (22.5), Poseidon is &ldquo;a tamer</p>
<p>of horses and a savior of ships.&rdquo; Myth&nbsp;made him the father of the horses Areion and Pegasos, while he was </p>
<p>honored&nbsp;in many places as Hippios and was a master of chariot races from earliest times. He was the central </p>
<p>deity at the Panhellenic sanctuary of Isthmia,&nbsp;worshiped with his consort Amphitrite.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[This half blood of a God goes on an adventure to save the world and find Zeus Lightning bolt to prove his innocense.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The other night we watched Percy Jackson &#8211; The lightning thief.</p>
<p>It was fantastic.&nbsp; A bit like a Harry Potter movie but not if you know what I mean.&nbsp; Along the same lines though. A fantasy story like Eragon, The seeker for example.</p>
<p>I was really intrigued at how it is a story about the gods but based in the modern times we live in today.&nbsp; Percy is suppose to be the son of the God Poseidon.&nbsp; God of the sea.&nbsp; In the story Percy follows the story as though he is Perseus which would explain his modern day name of Percy.&nbsp; He never knew he was the son of a God until Zeus lightning bolt had been stolen and he was the accused.&nbsp; After experiencing threats and being taken to a half blood camp he was told that his son was a God.&nbsp; Poseidon.</p>
<p>Percy goes on an adventure and kills Medusa by chopping off her head. He finds the lightning bolt and prevents a war between the gods.&nbsp; It is really good and the graphics are great.</p>
<p>After watching it I decided to investigate the story a little more&nbsp; I must admit that I was fascinated.&nbsp; In story&#8217;s reported on the Internet Perseus was the one that beheaded Medusa and I was really thrilled that this story had stuck so close to the facts they have. Percy was following most of Perceus`adventures the only difference is that percys mother is normal human being.</p>
<p>When viewing the family tree of the Gods however I noticed something that really puzzled me.&nbsp; Perseus was actually the son of Zeus and not of Poseidon like in the Movie.&nbsp; Why would they not stick to the original information? Why change it?&nbsp; I have searched and there is no reference to Perseus ever been the son of Poseidon. It was Zeus son perceus that killed Medusa.&nbsp; In this movie Percy even carrys medusas head in a shirt and uses it later.</p>
<p>I still think that it is a great movie.&nbsp; If you have not already seen it, I would still recommend it.&nbsp; It was really interesting and a great family night movie.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A new story about a son of Poseidon.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ceres&nbsp;and a god&rsquo;s Curse</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In a northern Greek village, there once lived a family who were cursed by Ares. They had lost a battle in the War God&#8217;s Name and their punishment was to give their daughter to him as payment so she could serve as a maid in his house for the rest of his life. Frightened and helpless against the daunting god, the parents had little choice but to bow before his commands. However, from a river near the family&rsquo;s house stood the Sea God Poseidon and his view was different of that of the family. On the night Ares came to take the young 16 year old maiden Helia, Poseidon sent a beautiful white horse shaped from the crest of the ocean&rsquo;s waves and a message attached to its mane telling her to ride away. He was able to save the girl, but was too late for the parents for Ares came and in rage burned the house with the residents in it. Poseidon was not allowed to interfere directly with other god&rsquo;s powers because Zeus considered it an illicit act. Unknown to him and Helia however, no matter what happened there would always be a bond to the maid&#8217;s spirit with Ares&rsquo; curse that would allow him to find her someday.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Taking the young Helia for a ride of her life, the horse ran for many days without stop to avoid any pursuing war hounds that had been following them. Eventually they came to a small town by the sea where she at last met her rescuer. Falling in love, the god and mortal had a baby demigod son called Ceres. Once the boy was born, Poseidon was called away &nbsp;to leave by Zeus who said to his brother that he was turning mortal and that their uncles, the old Titans of the sea, were getting hard to control without his help. But before returning, the god told Helia that their son was to be a great hero and all who knew him would remember him in stories of bravery, but he would be doomed to fall to the flaw of all the sons of the sea. His fatal flaw was to be unyielding loyalty towards all that he cared about to the point of death.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She raised him to be a good and gracious man with super-human strength and a strong mind. By age 20, he was famous within the village for his intelligence and strength. He could stand on a fishing ship, and the nets would fill until the ship nearly went under with the weight of so many fish. He helped build a temple to the god of the sea and Zeus, so the great king of Olympus would not be jealous of his brother. Finally one day his mother told him that it was Poseidon who was his father and that he should guard this secret for it would help him defeat many enemies one day.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One day while Ceres was helping a group of fishermen to round up some food to trade with travelers who brought grains and other food to the village, a band of men stole into the town and abducted Helia. Hearing across the waters his mother&rsquo;s screams he jumped off the boat and swam for shore. The current had always bent around him as he swam and he could move faster than any ship could even in the windiest days, but today the water pulled him under in a funnel right before he reached the shore, and he was held under as a shadow floated up to him from the depths of the ocean floor. Up rose a great kraken with a man riding his back carrying a trident who spoke to him in a powerful voice that made the ocean swell and come alive.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;I am your father, and the king of the sea, Poseidon. Great powers are yours because you are my son. Even when you are on land, there is power in your blood that can cause water and even water animals from freshwater to obey your every whim if you can only summon the power from within yourself. Your cousin Ares has taken away your mother to his earthly kingdom where even the rocks brood over war. I wish you good luck. However, be careful of Ares. He often plays his games of deceit wherever he can and always gets his way one way or another. Farewell.&rdquo; <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At once Ceres told the townspeople what had happened to his mother and asked for a volunteer to come with him. No one even thought to impugn his sanity, for he was their idol and hero and would lay down their immediate jobs at hand to help him. Every man, boy, and even many brave women raised their hand to help save the mother of their hero. In the end Ceres settled with Phelixous who had been a friend since the two were too young to walk. They set out at once for the Rocks of Spears which the sea god had hinted at as the location of Ares&#8217; fort. Crossing the immense snow-covered mountains in a few weeks and deep wild forests that held many dangerous animals and bandits, none of which could stand before the young hero and his best friend as they continued their journey. <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At long last the two reached the fulsomely decorated bronze doors that showed pictures of war that marked it as Ares&#8217; palace. Just as they were about to walk through the two huge doors unopposed, a lion the size of a small house leaped on Phelixous and tore his chest open with just a few swipes of its razor sharp claws. With &nbsp;a leap in his gut that provoked the power of the sea, Ceres sent a wave of water from the stream outside the great walls and drowned the huge beast. The gruesome sight of Phelixous&rsquo; chest was a sure sign of a fatal wound, and he died in Ceres&#8217;s arms leaving the heartbroken hero to face the god of war alone. Haughtily striding into the throne room, the most pissed-off demigod that ever walked the face of the earth found his mother&#8217;s kidnapper standing with his sword drawn. Taking control over the fountain in the corner of the room, Ceres wrapped the tidal wave around Ares putting all his energy into the task of trapping the bully in a blanket of thousands of pounds of pressure so that only his immunity to mortal harm could save him. Then cutting through the rock-hard water as if it were butter, he disarmed Ares and cut him across his arm and leg letting golden blood of the gods flow from his opponent. In amazement Ares realized he had been beaten by this powerful demigod of the the sea. He told Ceres that his mother would be outside, waiting for her son.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;But remember this,&rdquo; Ares told the hero, &ldquo;I know you&rsquo;ve beaten me now in this battle, but I&rsquo;ll get the last word in. When you seem to be covered in victory, you will be cut down from behind.&rdquo; With that Ares evaporated into thin air leaving Ceres alone in a palace of dead bandit body guards and puzzlement at the war god&rsquo;s new curse. Stepping outside the palace, the hero found his mother, lying in an old torn rug and, dead. Crushed with grief, he carried his mother and friend home to the village where they had lived so long. Most would have considered this an impediment &nbsp;to the journey, but Ceres did it just the same. Parting a path between them, the residents of the village watched as the young man buried his mother and friend.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For years there was peace in the town and it was more prosperous than ever before. It grew more than any other town in Greece and became known throughout the Mediterranean&rsquo;s trading countries and shores. It was all like a calm before an unknown storm that any seamen could feel coming, and Ceres felt it&nbsp;clearly and knew this storm would come from land.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Then the day came, the news brought by a farm boy who he had seen a small army marching over the countryside heading for the town. Its purpose was an easy one to to figure because &nbsp;on their helms&nbsp;the crest&nbsp;was that of a competing country that Greece had always defeated. They were here to capture the harbor to use for their country as a start to bring their ships closer to all the major cities on the coast, but they did not need the town so it would be razed and the residents with it if they would refuse to work as slaves. Being a fishing town, very few of the people knew how to fight. Unarmed they were defenseless.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Seeing all of this Ceres thought of how his mother and Phelixous had died which angered him deeply. Then he thought how all the villagers could not protect themselves against such an attack even though their whole life they had been good people and had never sought to harm anyone. This made up his mind; he would not let them suffer. Taking up his old sword and shield, he went to stand at the pass by the sea from where the army would come. At first sight, he saw the whole army laugh as they appeared before him, just one man and no one behind him. As they continued towards him, however, their laughing stopped just as quickly as out of the grey waters by the pass&rsquo;s base erupted a great kraken that with three flailing tentacles took almost a fourth of their men. Some began to run, but only towards Ceres who in such a display of power and control cut down all that had came to harm the village. As the last man running towards him drew his sword a man the young hero had thought to be dead leaped up and thrust his sword right into Ceres&#8217; back. Forced to kill the men, he quickly severed both of their heads in two giant strokes with the blade cursed by Ares still in his back.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Back in the houses of the town, the villagers watched in awe as their hero slunk into the ocean&rsquo;s shallows and disappeared in a golden flash of mist. Because of his loyalty to the people, they made the golden mist their flag&rsquo;s emblem and named the town Ceres.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[With the release of Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and the revamped Clash of the Titans, I began finding my knowledge of Greek mythology quite lacking. There&#8217;s a lot out there, so I have tried to combine some of the more interesting information into a series of documents.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The focus of the Greek pantheon (which means all the gods of a religion) is sometimes referred to as the Twelve Olympians, who reside at Mount Olympus, which is a real mountain located in Greece. These Olympians are generally known as:</p>
<p>Zeus<br /> Hera<br /> Poseidon<br /> Demeter<br /> Athena<br /> Dionysus<br /> Apollo<br /> Artemis<br /> Ares<br /> Aphrodite<br /> Hephaestus<br /> Hermes</p>
<p>Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, and Demeter were siblings, along with Hestia, Hades, and Chiron. Athena, the Charities, Heracles, Hebe, Persephone and the others were all children of Zeus, the king of the gods who led the Twelve Olympians into battle against the Titans led by Atlas.</p>
<p>The War of the Titans is also known as the Titanomachy, which happened before the birth of man on Earth (who is known as Gaia &ndash; Zeus&rsquo; mother.)</p>
<p>As you might have guessed, the the Twelve Olympians make up only a portion of the Greek pantheon of gods, and there are many more: Titans, Gods, and Demigods.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A brief biography of the Greek Goddess Pandora.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever wondered how a woman came to be? Well, according to the Greeks, the first woman was actually created as a punishment for the men. It all started because of two inseparable brothers: Epimetheus and Prometheus.</p>
<p>Epimetheus, a foolish Titan, had distributed positive traits to every animal, except mankind. Prometheus, the clever one, had decided that man shall be given fire, which he stole from the gods. As a result of Zeus&rsquo;s anger, Pandora was created to live with the men. Zeus summoned the Olympians and asked them all to give a gift to Pandora. Aphrodite adorned Pandora with beauty, grace, and desire. Hermes gave her cunning and boldness. Demeter taught her how to tend a garden. Athena, the goddess of wisdom, taught Pandora how to spin and weave. Apollo instructed her to sing and play the lyre. Hera gave her the quality of curiosity. Finally, Poseidon, the sea god, gave Pandora a pearl necklace, and promised her that she would never drown. However, Zeus had also given her a gift and that was to make her foolish and mischievous. She became the wife of Epimetheus, after he ignored his brother&rsquo;s warning of not accepting the gift. A big banquet was held and there, Hermes presented Pandora with a well crafted box. Hermes warned Pandora that she must never open the box. But, Pandora was gifted with curiosity and she was eager to know what the box contained. One day, she took off the cover and peeked in. Out of the box released all forms of evil. Pandora hastened to close the box, but all the contents of the box had already escaped except one evil, hope. So whenever evils are presented, hope will always remain by our side.</p>
