ok for those who want to make d-mods about this
here is a list of all the greek gods and what they are gods of:
APHRODITE(Roman name Venus)-was the goddess of love, beauty and fertility. She was also a protectress of sailors.
APOLLO(Roman name Apollo)-was the god of prophesy, music and healing.
ARES (Roman name Mars)-was the god of war, or more precisely of warlike frenzy. Though an immortal deity, he was bested by Heracles in battle and was almost killed when stuffed into a jar by two giants. When another hero wounded him during the Trojan War, he received scant sympathy from his father Zeus.
ARTEMIS (Roman name Diana)-was the virgin goddess of the hunt. She helped women in childbirth but also brought sudden death with her arrows.
ATHENA (Roman name Minerva)-was the goddess of crafts and the domestic arts and also those of war. She was the patron goddess of Athens. Her symbol was the owl. She was originally the Great Goddess in the form of a bird. By the late Classic, she had come to be regarded as a goddess of wisdom
DEMETER (Roman name Ceres)-was the goddess of agriculture. Demeter as the sister of Zeus and the mother of Persephone.
DIONYSUS (Roman name Bacchus)-was the god of wine. Dionysus was the son of Zeus and the mortal heroine Semele
HEPHAESTUS (Roman name Vulcan)-was the lame god of fire and crafts or the two together, hence of blacksmiths. Hephaestus was the son of Zeus and Hera or, in some accounts, of Hera alone. He limped because he was born lame, which caused his mother to throw him off Mount Olympus. Or in other accounts he interceded in a fight between Zeus and Hera, and Zeus took him by the foot and threw him from Olympus to the earth far below.
HERA (Roman name Juno)-was the goddess of marriage. Hera was the wife of Zeus and Queen of the Olympians
HERMES (Roman name Mercury)-was the messenger of the gods and guide of dead souls to the Underworld. A prankster and inventive genius from birth, Hermes aided the heroes Odysseus and Perseus in their quests.
POSEIDON (Roman name Neptune) was the god of the sea, earthquakes and horses. Although he was officially one of the supreme gods of Mount Olympus, he spent most of his time in his watery domain
ZEUS (Roman name Jupiter) was the supreme god of the Olympians. He was the father of the heroes Perseus and Heracles, the latter of whom once wrestled him to a draw.
HADES, god of the dead and brother of Zeus and Poseidon,he dwelt in the Underworld and not on Olympus. His Roman name was Pluto.
the other gods
PAN
Pan was a god of shepherds and flocks. Pan was the son of Hermes and a nymph. He was born with the legs and horns of a goat, which caused his own mother to spurn him.
Nor was the adult god more popular with the nymphs. Echo ran away from him and lost her voice as a consequence, being condemned only to repeat the words of others. Another fleeing nymph was transformed into a reed, which inspired Pan to invent the shepherd's pipe of bound reeds of varying lengths.
Pan was considered to be the cause of the sudden fear that sometimes comes for no reason, especially in lonely places. That's why it's called "panic".
Originally Hestia, goddess of the hearth, was one of the twelve, but she grew tired of the godly bickering and gladly gave her place to the god of wine, Dionysus.
Heracles was made into a god when he died, and he was given the goddess Hebe as his wife. They lived together in a palace on Olympus. Only the Olympians themselves, however, met in supreme council, seated together in Zeus's royal hall on twelve ornate thrones
