Snapshots of selected areas of the Family Tree
The Olympians
The Twelve Olympian Gods and Goddesses are the main deities in Greek mythology, ruling from Mount Olympus. Learning about the Twelve Olympians offers a glimpse into the ancient Greek worldview, where the gods were both powerful and humanlike, each embodying different aspects of life and nature.
The Titans
The Titans, ancient and colossal beings, ruled the cosmos before the Olympians. Led by Cronus, they represented nature’s primal forces, like Oceanus, the god of the seas, and Hyperion, the god of the sun. Fearing his children’s rise, Cronus devoured them, but Zeus survived and eventually led the Olympians in a rebellion called the Titanomachy.
The Muses
The Nine Muses of Greek mythology are the divine inspirers of the arts, each embodying a different realm of creativity and knowledge. Picture them, graceful and eternal, weaving music, poetry, dance, and history into the fabric of human culture. From Calliope, the muse of epic poetry, guiding the hands of Homer, to Euterpe’s melodies inspiring musicians, these goddesses stand as timeless symbols of artistic genius.
Perseus and Medusa
Perseus’ battle with Medusa is a classic tale of heroism in Greek mythology. Armed with divine gifts, Perseus faced the deadly Gorgon, whose gaze could turn men to stone. Using Athena’s shield to view her reflection, he struck her down in a moment of triumph. Medusa, like many monsters in myth, represented chaos and danger, waiting for heroes like Perseus to confront them.
