Dionysius

Hi my name is Dionysius and I am also called Bacchus. I am the god of wine, festivals and parties. Some of the symbols that are most commonly used to represent me are grapes, wine and ambrosia. One of the stories I am most known for is the story of my birth. The story of my birth is that Zeus, my father raped my mother and when she was about to give birth to me, one of the thunderbolts of Zeus killed her. But someone managed to rescue me. Although I have no special powers, I’m immortal.

Perseus And Medusa

Hi, my name is Perseus, im a Greek legend, im Hero, the son of Zeus and Dannaë, daughter of Acrisius, king of Argos. An oracle foretold my mon that a son of Dannaë would cause the death of Acrisius, I was abandoned in the Mortal world as a Mortal in the island of Seriphus, where I was protected by the king of the island under promise that he would slay the Gorgon Medusa and bring her head to him. In this he was aided by Hermes and Athena, who protected him from danger. After reaching the dwelling of Medusa near Tartessus, I cut off her head with the sickle furnished by Hermes, and on my return I liberated the beautiful Andromeda from a sea monster. Later I rescued my mother from Polydectes by turning the latter into stone. Shortly after I became king of Tiryns, and in the course of time founded the cities of Mycenæ and Midea.

Hi I am Pandora

Zeus made me because he was mad at Prometheus who had given the mortals special gifts. So he gave them one more gift and that was me, the first mortal woman. Each god gave me something to make me perfect. Mercury gave me persuasion, Venus gave me beauty, Apollo gave me music, Hephaestus voice...etc.

Zeus gave me to Epimetheus my husband, he accpeted me even though Prometheus his brother had said to him "don't accept anything form Zeus". My beauty convinced him.

One day Epimetheus gave me a box that I was forbidden to open. I was so curious that I didn't support not not knowing what was inside the box so I open it. When I open the box all evil, hate, anger and jealousy flew out into the world. When I saw in the bottom of the box, there was still one thing inside and that was hope.

I'll be always remembered as the mortal/goddess who let out all the bad things into the world. Also I'll be known as the "Mother of troubles".

Pandora means, "The one who gives all gifts".

Bellerophon

Hi, my name is Bellerophon and I am one of the most important mortal heroes of Greek Mythology. I am son of Eurynome and Poseidon. My mother is the wife of Glaucus, who raised me as his own child.

Both of my fathers were very good horse riders, so I became an excellent one, and also an incredible archer. One day, they decided to give me a horse that would make me more powerful in battle, so they gave me Pegasus, a horse that can fly. I tried to ride him lots of times but it seemed imposible. After many failures Poseidon told me I should pray for Athena for help. After a night praying on her altar she gave me a golden bridle, which helped me a lot. Finally I was able to ride the horse.

I became a very good and powerful fighter so King Pittheus gave me his daughter Aetrha in marriage. It was all perfect but they remembered I had once killed a man that apparently was my own brother. For some reason they thought this was very bad so I wouldn't be able to marry her.

I went to visit King Proetus to be purified and while I was there his wife Stheneboea tried to seduce me. I controlled myself but she was angry at me and told his husband that I was the one that tried to seduce her. The King was so mad at me that he wanted to kill me, but that wouldn't have been good for him, so he went to King Iobates.

King Iobates also wanted to kill me so he send me to do many things to be purified. First he send me to kill the terrible Chimera, and I returned victorious. Then, the send me to conqueer the Solymi tribe and I was also victorious. He was starting to get mad so he made me fight the Amazons. When I came back he was so mad at me that he attacked me with all of his army and I killed them all, until the last man.

King Iobates saw that I was blessed by the gods so he gave me part of his land and his daughter Philonoe, who was the sister of Stheneboea, who ended up suiciding.

I had children and one day I went to visit the gods. Zeus was so mad at me that he pulled Pegasus and made me fall. I was left alone wandering all around the place until I died.

Orpheus and Eurydice
I was the greatest musician and poet of Greek myth, my songs could charm wild beasts and coax even ricks and trees into movement. I was one of the Argonauts, and when the Argo had to pass the island of the Sirens it was my music which prevented the crew from being lured to destruction.

When I was young I fall in love with a kid called Eurydice, our love was so deep that we were practically inseparable. We thought allot of times that we can’t live without the other. Eurydice was bitten by a serpent, the poison of the serpent killed her and she descended to Hades immediately. I was so sad about the loss of my love that i start to composed music to express the terrible emptiness. I went down to the underworld to bring Eurydice back. But have to meet one condition it was that i must not look back as I was conducting Eurydice to the surface.
