The Gods & Goddesses of Olympus
Zeus
The God of the Sky and the Supreme ruling God of Olympus, Zeus is the son of the titans, Cronus and Rhea. The younger brother of both Poseidon and Hades, he drew lots to decide what part of the world he would rule. He governs the sky, but is also head of the Council of Olympus. He is married to Hera, though never faithful, and has many children, including Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, and Hermes. His weapon of choice is the thunderbolt.

Hera
Hera is the Goddess of Marriage and Childbirth, taking a special interest in women and their rights. Being married to Zeus makes Hera the Supreme ruling Goddess of Olympus and a member of the Council of Olympus. However, their marriage is turbulent, resulting in Hera often interfering with Zeus's plans. Her motives generally involve her jealousy stemming from Zeus's many infidelities. She is the mother of Ares, Hebe, Eileithyia, Hephaestus, and Eris.

Poseidon
The God of the Sea, brother to Zeus and Hades, Poseidon is second in command and power to Zeus and a member of the Council of Olympus. With a somewhat quarrelsome personality, he is also known as Earth-Shaker because of his ability to cause earthquakes. His weapon of choice is the trident. Poseidon is married to the sea nymph Amphitrite. He is the father to the hero Theseus.

Hades
Overthrowing his Titan father, Cronus, with his brothers Poseidon and Zeus, Hades was given the Underworld to lord over. Hades is the eldest brother and is also a member of the Council of Olympus. He obtained his queen and consort by violent abduction and trickery. Persephone became Queen of the Underworld against her will. Hades is the father of the goddesses Makaria and Melinoë. He is very intelligent and underhanded, and while he serves under Zeus, he is always looking for ways to outwit his little brother. His weapon of choice is the bident, and he normally has Cerberus by his side.

Aphrodite
The Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Sexuality, Aphrodite was born from the castration of her father, Uranus. His genitals were tossed into the sea, which foamed and gave rise to Aphrodite, whose name means "foam-risen." Aphrodite seems to not understand the word no, as she gets what she wants frequently. And she's had her sights set on Ares for years, causing quite the disturbance in the God of War's relationship with the Queen of Muses Calliope. And with the dissolving of their relationship, it seems that the Goddess of Desire might just get her way yet.

Athena
The Goddess of War and Wisdom, Athena is unlike Zeus's other children. Athena does not have a mother, instead being born fully armed from Zeus's forehead. Athena is a member of the Council of Olympus and her father's favorite daughter. She is the Goddess of Heroic Endeavors, Wisdom, Courage, Inspiration, Civilization, Mathematics, Justice, War Strategy, Arts, Crafts, and Religion. She is one of the few virgin goddesses.

Ares
The God of War, Violence, and Bloodshed, Ares is the son of Zeus and Hera. One of the most hated gods in Olympus, Ares represents the untamed fury that accompanies war. A member of the Olympian Council, Ares was once the lover of Calliope, but his infidelity became a problem. It seems that the God of War, who isn't immune to Aphrodite's gifts and charms, has now fallen into her bed on a more permanent basis.

Apollo
The Greek God, Apollo, is god of many things. The sun, music, prophecy, medicine, justice, among many others, he refers to himself as the original overachiever. Hot headed and stubborn, Apollo is among the members of the Council of Olympus, is the son of Zeus and Leto, and is the younger twin brother of Artemis. The favorite son of Zeus, the god believes he is above those of a mortal status. Apollo has had many lovers, one of which was the goddess Enepsigos. He is the father of Asclepius.

Artemis
The Greek Goddess, Artemis, is the goddess of chastity, the moon, the natural world, and of course, the hunt. Her archery skills are known far and wide. She is the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the older twin sister to Apollo. Fierce in her own right, she has no issue dispatching problems that arise for her or her brother. Artemis is another of the virgin goddesses.

Hermes
The second youngest of the Olympian Gods, Hermes is a messenger. He is also God of Speed, Trade, Thieves, Athletes, and Travelers. Hermes is the son of Zeus and Maia, and is able to move from Olympus to Earth to even the Underworld, coming and going as he pleases. He is a god of transitions and boundaries.

Eirene
Eirene is the Greek Goddess of the Seasons and Natural Division of Time, daughter of Khronos, and sister to Enepsigos. Eirene is the Guardian of the Gates to Olympus, and is the personification of peace. She is unable to bear to children though all her historical and mythological depictions show her with an infant, a very sore spot where Eirene is concerned.
Calypso
Goddess and Nymph of the Sea, Calypso once ruled the seas beside Poseidon. She is the daughter of the Titan Atlas, and after disobeying Zeus, has been contained to the island of Ogygia ever since. She longs to be freed, to be back at Poseidon's side. Oh, and she positively despises Amphitrite.

Hecate
Hecate is the Goddess of Magic, Witchcraft, Night, Moon, Ghosts and Necromancy. She is the daughter of Titans Perses and Asteria. She moves freely between the worlds of the living and the dead, but loses much of her power in the daytime. Most powerful at night, she has many duties in the Underworld. She is the wife of Hermes, who is also a liminal figure able to move between both worlds.

Persephone
The Greek Goddess of Spring, Grain, and Agriculture, Persephone is the daughter of Demeter. She was taken by Hades while picking flowers in a field, abducted and taken to the Underworld. Married to Hades and Queen of the Underworld, Persephone's time is split between the world of the living and the dead. Fall, spring, and summer, she is allowed to spend her time topside, being the goddess of vegetation. But when winter comes, Persephone must spend her time in the Underworld next to her King.

Muse
Calliope
The Queen of all Muses, Calliope presides over poetry, song, and eloquence. The Muse who inspired Homer to write the Iliad and the Odyssey, Calliope was named for her beautiful voice. Once the lover of Ares, she has parted ways with the god and has chosen to remain on her own. Though recently she met the Archangel Michael and the two have formed quite the bond.

A Goddess of Vengeance, Tisiphone is one of the three Furies. Her sisters are Alecto and Megaera. The Furies are responsible for punishing crimes, murder being the crimes that Tisiphone punishes. Guardian of the Gates of Tartarus, Tisiphone is the ice to her sister Alecto's fire. Clothed in a blood-wet dress and carrying an icy longsword, Tisiphone looks sweet, but...looks can be deceiving.

Chimera
Chayse Lykaios
Chayse Lykaios is a chimera, which according to Greek mythology is a hybrid, fire breathing creature. A mix of lion (bravery), serpent (cunning), and goat (diabolical), the chimera is a very rare creature. A chimera is dazzling, wildly imaginative, and exceptionally difficult to acquire. The most adept at playing hard to get, Chayse is a party planner for the social elite.

The Oracle of Delphi
Pythia
Pythia was born into her role as the Pythia. Though since her mother passed away in childbirth, she was never given the name. Those who cared for her simply named her Pythia because it was what she was destined to be. Pythia has been awaiting her first glimpse of Apollo her whole life. Now that the current Oracle of Delphi has passed away, Pythia has been thrust into the role she has learned about for her entire existence.
The Hesperides
Aigle
Aigle, or Airlea, as she has come to be known, is one of the Hesperides. One of three nymphs charged with guarding the golden apples beyond the ocean in a garden located near the Atlas Mountains, the nymphs are known as the Daughters of the Sun and Evening. Aigle, which means dazzling light, is in charge of the shining sunlight which nourishes the apples she and her fellow nymphs tend.
Hesperia
Hesperia is known in modern times as Halia, though her task is the same as when she was first created. Representing the reddish-golden light of the setting sun, Hesperia's name means sunset glow. She is responsible for the pruning of the tree branches and the picking of the ripe golden apples.
Erytheia
Erytheia has taken the much more modern name of Eden, which is slightly ironic since she, indeed, tends a garden. Representing the darker light of evening, she is responsible for the watering of the orchard. The golden apples grant immortality, and belong to the Goddess Hera, the grove of trees planted from the fruited branches which Gaia gave to Hera as a wedding gift when she married Zeus.
Pegasus
Aherin Athanas
One of the most well known creatures in Greek mythology, Pegasus is a winged stallion, divine in his creation. Sired by Poseidon, his mother was Medusa. Raised by the nine Muses, Pegasus, or Aherin as he has come to be known, has a very close relationship with the Goddess Athena.
Titans
Cronus
Cronus is the Titan King of the Cosmos and God of Ages, particularly the aspect of time which is destructive and all-devouring. Cronus is the father to Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon, and was overthrown by his sons in a ten year war: Gods versus Titans. Eventually the Titans were defeated and forced into the pit of Tartarus. Cronus despises his offspring and vows one day to rise again.
Japetus
Japetus is Titan of Craftsmanship and God of Mortality. He is known as "The Piercer," as his name literally translates to such. Japetus resides in the pit of Tartarus with his brother Cronus after losing the decade long war against the Gods of Olympus. Japetus was known to be one of the Titans responsible for holding the Heavens and the Earth apart, a role he later gave to his son, Atlas.
Phoebe
Phoebe is the Titaness of Brilliance and Radiance. She is the mother of Leto, and therefore, is the grandmother to the twins, Apollo and Artemis, who are sometimes referred to as Phoebe and Phoebus. Phoebe was the third Oracle of Delphi, her predecessors being Gaea and Themis. Phoebe then blessed her grandson, Apollo, with the power of prophecy before being locked away in the Tartarus.
Mnemosyne
Mnemosyne is the Titaness of Memory and Remembrance. She is believed to have been the inventress of speech and writings. She is also the mother of the nine muses: Calliope, Clio, Erato, Euterpe, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Terpsichore, Thalia, and Urania. Mnemosyne dwells in the Tartarus with the other Titans and Titanesses.
