'''Fatima''' is a town in central [[Portugal]], attracting thousands of pilgrims each year, honoring the [[Virgin Mary]]. The sanctuary of Fatima features a Neo-Baroque limestone basilica and an esplanade twice the size of St. Peter's Square in Rome<ref>Eyewitness travel guides: Portugal, first American edition. Ferdie McDonald (editor). page 184. DK Publishing. 1997.</ref>

In the spring of 1916, three shepherd children: Lucia dos Santos, age nine and her cousins, Francisco and Jacinta Marto, ages eight and six, were tending their sheep on a patch of land called the Cabeco. While they were playing a game of pebbles, a strong wind moved through, revealing a transparent figure of a young man hovering over the olive trees. The young man said to them: "Do not be afraid. I am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me."<ref>Our Lady Comes to Fatima. page 3. Leaflet Missal Company. 1987.</ref> The angel knelt on the ground and asked the children to repeat after him: "My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You. I ask pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You." After repeating the prayer three times, he arose and before he departed, he told the children: "Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications."<ref>ibid. page 4.</ref>

The children were silent about the apparition but for awhile, prayed the Angel's prayer regularly. By the summer of 1916, they had begun to pray less. One day while playing by a well, the Angel appeared again and asked what they were doing? He told them that the most holy hearts of [[Jesus]] and [[Mary]] had designs of mercy for them. They were to offer prayers and sacrifices to [[God]] as an act of reparation for the sins by which He was most offended and, to accept and bear with submission the suffering the [[Lord]] would send them.<ref>ibid. pages 4-5.</ref>
[[Image:Fatima.jpg|left]]
The third and final appearance of the Angel came in the fall of 1916. Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta were in the Cabeco, praying the Angel's prayer when he appeared to them, holding a chalice in his hands with a Host above it, from which drops of Blood fell into the chalice. This time, he instructed the children to say: "Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference with which He Himself is offended. And, through the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners."<ref>ibid. page 5.</ref> The angel then gave the Host to Lucia and the Blood to Jacinta and Francisco.

On Sunday, May 13, 1917, the children were tending their sheep in another patch of land called the Cova da Iria. Seeing what they thought was a flash of lightning, they started to return home when they noticed a Lady, radiantly dressed in white, hovering over a small holmoak tree. She told them not to be afraid, that she was from Heaven and wanted them to come to the Cova da Iria for six months in succession on the 13th day. She asked the children to pray the [[Rosary]] every day, in order to obtain peace for the world and an end to the first world war, which was taking place at the time.<ref>Fatima in Lucia's own words (15th edition). Fr. Louis Kondor, SVD, editor. Secretariado Dos Pastorinhos, Fatima, Portugal. pages 174-176. </ref>

On July 13, 1917, Our Lady told the children: "Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say many times especially whenever you make a sacrifice: O Jesus, it is for the love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary."<ref>ibid. page 178.</ref> As she spoke those last words, she opened her hands and pointed to an opening in the ground. The children saw a vision of hell where demons and souls in human form, burned like embers and shrieked with pain and despair. Our Lady told them: "You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart."<ref>ibid</ref>"To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of [[Russia]] to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays.<ref>Letter from Sister Lucia dos Santos, transcribed by Rev. Fr. José Bernrdo Gonçalves, S.J. June 13, 1929.</ref> If my request are heeded, [[Russia]] will be converted and there will be peace.<ref>Letter from Sister Lucia dos Santos, transcribed by Rev. Fr. José Bernrdo Gonçalves, S.J. June 13, 1929.</ref> If not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate [[Russia]] to me and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.<ref>Fatima in Lucia's own words (15th edition). Fr. Louis Kondor, SVD, editor. Secretariado Dos Pastorinhos, Fatima, Portugal. pages 179.</ref> When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need."<ref>ibid</ref>

The children faced much ridicule from their parents, the townspeople and even faced arrest and intimidation from the local authorities. However, increasing numbers of people did believe and accompanied them on their journeys to the Cova da Iria when they received the apparitions. Our Lady promised the children that on the 13th of October, she would perform a miracle for those who did not believe.

On October 13th, 1917, a crowd of people gathered with Lucia, Francisco and Lucia in the rainy field. Our Lady told the children that she wanted a chapel to be built on the site in her honor; she called herself the Lady of the Rosary. She asked them to continue to pray the [[Rosary]] every day. "The war is going to end," she told them, "and the soldiers will soon return to their homes.'<ref>ibid. page 182.</ref> Our Lady departed from the children and Lucia told the crowd to look at the sun. The people gathered in the Cova da Iria saw the sun turn into a huge silver disk. It spun like a wheel of fire, then rotated, casting hues of color onto the crowd below. Then, the sun fell from its orbit toward the earth, causing many people to make acts of contrition, thinking it was the end of the world. The sun though retracted and left the rain-soaked crowd dry and many of those who had arrived with infirmities, cured.<ref>Our Lady Comes to Fatima. page 31. Leaflet Missal Company. 1987.</ref> ''O Seculo'', a free-thinking newspaper would report, "...the sun has trembled...unprecedented and outside of all cosmic laws - the sun has danced..."<ref>O Seculo. October 15, 1917.</ref>

Francisco died on April 4th, 1919 from bronchial influenza<ref>Our Lady Comes to Fatima. page 34. Leaflet Missal Company. 1987.</ref> and Jacinta died February 20th, 1920 following complications from pleurisy.<ref>ibid. page 39.</ref> Lucia became a nun and continued to receive apparitions from Our Lady and Jesus. She lived to be 97 and passed away on February 13, 2005 at the Carmelite Convent in Coimbra, [[Portugal]].<ref>http://www.cwnews.com/news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=35248</ref>

Today, Fatima is one of the world's most visited Marian sites. The site of the apparitions of Our Lady in the Cova da Iria is now called the Capelinha. During the evenings, the [[Rosary]] is said by visiting pilgrims from all over the world and a candlelight procession in the esplanade follows.

'''Lyon''' is a city in south-central [[France]] in the Rhône-Alpes Region. After [[Paris]] and [[Marseille]], it is the third largest city, however with its suburbs, it is the second largest city. It lies between the two cities, and is only 2 hours from Paris by the [[TGV]].

Lyon is located at the convergence of the Rhône and Saône rivers where the medieval city and beyond that two large hills give panoramic views of the city. Lyon is a [[UNESCO]] [[World Heritage Site]] and tourism is an important industry, along with film, finance and light industries. A large church, the Notre-Dame de Fourvière, looks over the city from the western hill and nearby there are Roman amphethers which are the largest outside of [[Italy]].

Dieppe

2008-04-04T18:20:44Z

ChrisGomez:

'''Dieppe''' is a port town in the North of [[France]] on the English Channel.

In [[World War II]], Dieppe was the site of a [[Allied]] attack on [[Nazi Germany|Nazi German]] occupied France on August 19, 1942. It was code named Operation Jubilee for over 6,000 men, mainly [[Canadian]] soldiers to attack the beach, march inland, disrupt German defences and retreat back to the beach and wait for evacuation.

The raid was a military disaster, as the 2nd Canadian Infantry division failed to make it off the beach, and more than 900 men were killed and another 2340 were taken prisoner or captured in the face of 1500 well protected German defenders. The Allied air forces failed to lure the [[Luftwaffe]] into open battle, and would loose 119 planes, and the Royal Navy suffered 555 casualties supporting the landings.

The defeat at Dieppe yielded important lessons for Operation Torch (the invasion of Africa) and Operation Overlord (the [[D-Day]] Invasion).

Dunkirk

ChrisGomez:

After the surrender of [[Belgium]], French and [[British]] forces in Belgium retreated to Dunkirk, a town on the northern coast of [[France]]. Here they held off the Germans while more than 300,000 Allied troops waded out to British rescue-vessels in late May 1940. The tiny British [[Royal Air Force]] formed aerial umbrella to hold off the German bombers.

The successful operation saved the entire British army. If the Dunkirk rescue had failed, the British troops would certainly have been defeated or captured. However, as British Prime Minister [[Winston Churchill]] noted afterwards, "Wars are not won by evacuations".

'''Paris''' is situated on the [[River Seine]] and is the capital and largest city of [[France]]. The population of the Greater Paris urban area is approximately 10 million, or almost one-sixth of the total population of France.

==History==
[[Image:Notre Dame.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Notre Dame cathedral]]
As with many other important cities in Europe, the Romans set up a military outpost (52 B.C.) on the location that would one day become Paris. In the 6th century A.D., King [[Clovis I]] established Paris as his capital. This was confirmed when [[Huge Capet]] became king of France in 987 A.D. Growth increased under the reign of [[Philip II]] (1180-1223) and Paris remained the capital when [[Louis XIV]] set up his court in [[Versailles]] in 1682. The [[Germans]] occupied Paris in [[World War II]]. It was liberated near the end of the war, but was largely undamaged.<ref>The New American Desk Encyclopedia, Penguin Group, 1989</ref>

Famous Paris landmarks include:
*[[Eiffel Tower]]
*[[Arc de Triomphe]]
*[[Louvre]]
*[[Notre Dame cathedral]], which was the setting for [[Victor Hugo]]'s novel, ''[[The Hunchback of Notredame]]''.
*Montmartre

==Urban Unrest==
[[Image:Sacre Coeur.jpg|thumb|right|240px|Sacre Coeur]]
The suburbs around Paris (''les banlieues'') are known for large apartment blocks, housing many of the newest Muslim immigrants to France. These have been rocked by violence as youths have rioted against long term unemployment and perceived intolerance by the police forces.

Roman mythology

Bacchus: '''Bacchus''' was the Roman equivalent to the Greek god [[Dionysus]]. He was the god of wine and revelry.

Ceres (goddess): '''Ceres''' is the Roman equivalent to [[Demeter]].<ref>{{Nuttall|Ceres}}</ref> She was said to be the goddess of [[agriculture]] especially grains.

Cupid: [[Image:Cupid.jpg|right|thumb|Drawing of Cupid by [[Adolphe William Bouguereau]], 1875]] '''Cupid''' is the messenger of love under [[Roman]] mythology. In [[Greek mythology]] he was known as [[Eros]]. He was the son of [[Mercury]] (the messenger god) and [[Venus]] (the goddess of love). Cupid is usually depicted as a winged baby boy, with a bow and two kinds of arrows to cause mischief. One would invoke [[love]], the other [[hate]]. Venus would use her son's power to gain revenge, as when she planned to have the beautiful [[Psyche]] (a mortal) fall in love with the ugliest man in the world. This backfired when Cupid pricked himself with his arrow. Because of this, Cupid fell in love with Psyche instead. Later she gained immortality when she married him and her job became sorting out family love problems. The myth of Cupid and Psyche was retold by [[C.S. Lewis]] in [[Till We Have Faces]].

Flora (goddess): '''Flora''' was an early Roman goddess of the blossom of flowers and the spring.<ref>{{Nuttall|Flora}}</ref>

Jupiter (god): '''Jupiter''' was the king of the [[Roman]] gods. He was the husband of [[Juno]]. The ruler of the deities in Greek culture was [[Zeus]]. The pantheons were mixed with the Roman conquest and absorption of Greece into the [[Roman Empire]] and Jupiter and Zeus were then loosely considered to be the same god.

Norse mythology

2008-04-04T18:14:46Z

ChrisGomez: /* Vorbis */

'''Norse mythology''' is the legends and [[pagan]] religious belief of the [[Vikings]]. They believed that the World (Midgard = 'Middle Earth') was supported on the World Tree (Yggdrasil) and lay between [[Asgard]] (Over-Heaven, the abode of their gods) and Hel (the underworld). They believed in [[dragon]]s, who hoarded gold and treasure, and the greatest of these the Midgard Serpent, encircled the world. They believed in other supernatural beings such as [[troll]]s, [[dwarves]] and [[elves]].

The gods ([[Odin]], [[Thor]] etc.), and their human allies would be defeated and destroyed at [[Ragnarok]], the last battle when the Ice Giants, the Midgard Serpent and the Wolf Fenrir would destroy Asgard and [[Midgard]]. But the [[Vikings]] still thought it better to fight on the side of the gods, even with knowledge of their ultimate defeat.
==Baldr==
'''Baldr''' is according to [[Norse]] [[mythology]], the second son of [[Odin]], and the son of [[Frigg]] and died because of spear made of mistletoe made by [[Loki]] being thrown at Baldr by his blind brother upon the suggestion of Loki.
==Freya==
In [[Norse mythology]], '''Freya''' (also spelled Freyja) is the [[love]] goddess. She is very beautiful and highly desirable. When the evil giants in these myths get the gods in some kind of a bind, they usually demand possession of Freya as the price of ransom. Of course, this price is always unacceptable, and some other solution to the problem must be found.

One of Freya's noteworthy attributes is her necklace, ''Brisingamen''. She bought the necklace from four "dark elves", masters of the making of things, and she paid a very high price for it: among other things, it cost her her beloved husband.

Freya's brother is Frey, who is closely associated with the mythic history of the kings of [[Sweden]]. He is a male "love god" counterpart to his sister, and also a god of agricultural fertility.

There is an ongoing debate among people who study this [[mythology]] about whether the modern English word "[[Friday]]" was originally "Freya's Day", or if it is "[[Frigg]]'s Day", named after [[Odin]]'s wife.

==Frigg==
'''Frigg''' is a goddess in [[Norse mythology]], she is said to be the wife of [[Odin]].

==Loki==
'''Loki''' is the god of mischief or evil from [[Norse mythology]]. He is sometimes viewed as the enemy of [[Thor]].

==Odin==
In [[Norse mythology]], '''Odin''' is usually said to be the ruler of the gods. Odin has many alternate names, and many areas of interest, including [[war]] and [[death]], [[poetry]] and [[art]], and wisdom in general. Also, Odin is credited with the creation of [[human|humans,]] along with two other gods, either his brothers Vili and Ve, or his friends Hoenir and Lodur, depending on which mythological source you happen to read.

In the myths, Odin is easy to recognize, even when he is disguised as Wegtam the Wanderer. He traded one eye for a drink from the Well of Wisdom, so he wears a large floppy hat pulled low over his face, or drapes his long gray hair over the missing eye. He is said to wear a blue or gray cloak. Of course, as things tend to go in myths, the humans he encounters don't usually know who he is when he arrives on their doorsteps dressed this way. Some people treat their visitor poorly, while others treat him well, with predictable results.

Odin is said to have children by several different giantesses, including his most famous son, [[Thor]]. His wife, however, is [[Frigga]], the goddess of marriage, motherhood, and the home. Odin and Frigga have a son named [[Balder]].

When Odin goes to war, his special [[weapon]] is a spear named Gungnir. He sometimes travels on his eight-legged horse Sleipnir. He knows what's happening in the world of men because his two ravens Hugin and Munin (Thought and Memory) fly over the world each day, then come home to tell him what they've seen and heard.

"Odin" is this god's [[Scandinavian]] name. In Old [[Anglo-Saxon]], his name is "Woden", from which we get our modern English word "Wednesday". In German, his name is "Wotan", and you will see him in [[Wagner]]'s famous Ring Cycle operas. Although these are all names for the same god, his personality changes a little in these different Northern European subcultures: Wotan is more of a stern war general, while Odin is more of a politician.
==Thor==
In [[Norse mythology]], '''Thor''' is the god of [[thunder]]. These old stories say he is the son of [[Odin]] and a giantess Iorth (Earth). Thor is described as having red hair and blue eyes. He is enormously strong, and he enjoys doing battle with evil giants. His special weapon is a magic hammer named Mjolnir that always hits whatever Thor throws it at, and then returns to his hand. The myths state that he makes thunder by riding across the tops of clouds in his chariot, which is drawn by two very large and aggressive goats.

In one of the myths, Thor's hammer is stolen by a giant, who holds it for ransom. This giant says he will give the hammer back if the gods give him the sun, the moon, and the love goddess [[Freya]] in exchange. Rather than pay the ransom, it is suggested that Thor dress as Freya, with a thick veil covering his face, and go to get the hammer back himself. Thor ''really'' does not like the idea of dressing as a woman, but the other gods talk him into it. After several near-mishaps, the plan works. The giant, still thinking Thor is Freya, places the hammer in his lap. Thor throws off the veil and dress, kills the giant and all the other giant guests at the wedding, then goes home.

Thor's wife is the very blonde and beautiful [[Sif]], the goddess of grain. This pairing is significant, as it was once thought that [[lightning]] fertilized the fields.

In English, the word "[[Thursday]]" was originally "Thor's Day". In German, Thor is called Donner, which literally means "Thunder".

During the [[heathen]] Viking era, Thor was an enormously popular god in Northern Europe. Many people of the time wore hammer amulets, much as modern [[Christians]] wear crosses today.

===The Comic===

Since 1962, a comic book has been published on-and-off in which Thor is the superhero by [[Marvel Comics]]. The creators of this comic used some of the original mythic material, but did not follow it completely. For example, Thor is shown with blond hair in the comic, and other aspects of the myths were significantly changed.

==Tyr==
In [[Norse mythology]], Tyr is one of the most important gods, although very few stories about him have survived. In pre-Viking-era mythology, as reported to us by the Roman author Tacitus, Tiw (the Germanic form of "Tyr") was the leader of the gods. During the Dark Ages, very little is known about the specifics of this culture. When we see the culture again in the 9th and 10th Centuries, something has happened: Tyr has receded into the background and [[Odin]] is much more prominent.

In the most important surviving story about Tyr, the gods have decided that the fearsome wolf named Fenris must be bound and imprisoned. But Fenris is so fierce and strong, no one knows how to accomplish this. Eventually, some trickery is suggested: magic chains will be constructed, and Fenris will be dared to break them. Fenris is very proud of his strength, and cannot resist the challenge. Of course, the gods hope he will not be able to break these chains, but he does. Finally, since nothing seems to be able to bind Fenris, an even more magical binding is made, but it is made from things that are essentially ''nothing''. When this is shown to Fenris, he does not like the look of it, but he agrees to be bound if one of the gods will place a hand in Fenris's mouth during the test of this magic binding. Among gods known for their bravery, only Tyr is brave enough to do this. Initially, he offers his left hand, but Fenris insists on Tyr's right hand. Tyr is a famous swordsman, and the loss of his right hand will be an enormous loss to the gods in their wars against evil giants. Still, this must be done, and Tyr does it. The magic binding will not break, and Tyr loses his hand, but the worlds of the Norse myths are safe again, for a while at least.

Among the [[heathen]] Vikings, all sworn oaths were considered important, but oaths sworn on the right hand of Tyr were especially sacred.

Tyr's wife's name is Zisa. Almost nothing is known about her beyond her name.

The Germanic "Tiw" form of Tyr's name is the source of our modern English word "Tuesday". Looking back even farther in the history of languages, and then tracing his name forward again along the Southern European route, Tyr's name becomes "Deus". In other words, Tyr is literally a god whose name means "god".

Hades

2008-04-04T18:06:26Z

ChrisGomez:

'''Hades''' was the [[Greece|Greek]] god of the dead in [[Greek mythology]], he and his brothers [[Zeus]] and [[Poseidon]] overthrew their father, the Titan [[Cronos]], and divided lots to decide which part of the world each would control. Hades was awarded the underworld and the dead.

'''Hades''' was also the name of the Greek underworld, where the spirits of the dead went. According to [[Homer]] in the literary work [[The Odyssey]], [[Odysseus]] sailed upon the [[River Styx]] (that ran through Hades) to speak to the dead to gather information in his quest to return home to [[Ithaca]].

While Hades was known as the abode of the dead as described by Homer, there were also differing sections. Most of the dead seemed to mill around in no particular distress, though in no way enjoying this existence either. In [[Tartarus]], though, punishment was the order of the day: for example ''Tantalus'' was suspended from a fruit tree the boughs of which would move if he tried to pluck a morsel from the tree; while suspended above a pool ever thirsting but the water never met his parched lips.<ref>Homer: The Odyssey:Book 11</ref>

Another section of Hades was known as the [[Elysian fields]], where the souls of those who were particularly noble or heroic were sent.

Hestia

ChrisGomez:

'''Hestia''' was the goddess of the hearth (fire) in [[Greek mythology]]. She was the first born child of [[Cronos]] and [[Rhea (mythology)|Rhea]], and was swallowed by her father at birth. Later, [[Zeus]] forced Cronos to disgorge the six siblings he had swallowed, and Hestia, being the first in became the last out and thence both the oldest and youngest of the Cronides. Hestia was wooed by [[Apollo]] and [[Poseidon]] but she refused both and asked Zeus to let her remain a perpetual virgin.

With the hearth as a domestic focal point it also served as her altar and Hestia would receive the first offering at every sacrifice in the household. Although one of the three great goddesses of the first generation of [[Olympians (mythology)|Olympians]], there are few great stories about her.

Artemis

2008-04-04T18:02:56Z

ChrisGomez:

'''Artemis''' was the [[Greece|Greek]] goddess of the hunt, who was known as Diana to the Romans. She was the daughter of [[Zeus]] and [[Leto]] and the twin sister of [[Apollo (mythology)|Apollo]]. She was represented by the full [[moon]].

Artemis was the subject of several legends which have survived. In [[Ovid]]’s [[Metamorphoses]], the story is told of how the hunter Actaeon, having accidentally spied the goddess naked at her bath, is transformed into a stag, and hunted down and torn to death by his own hounds and the other members of his hunting party <ref> Ovid, Metamorphoses, Book III, lines 138-252</ref>. Elsewhere in Ovid, we learn of Artemis’s slaughter, with the help of Artemis’s brother [[Apollo]], of Niobe’s children in revenge for Niobe’s brag that she had fourteen children, while Latona ([[Leto]]) had but two<ref> Ovid, Metamorphoses, Book VI, lines 146-312</ref>.

The cult of Artemis was extremely popular in the ancient world, in particular at her temple in the city of Ephesus, in what is modern day [[Turkey]]. At that temple the goddess was represented in statuary as a woman with many breasts. In the [[Acts (of the Apostles)|Acts of the Apostles]] in the [[New Testament]] the story is told of a riot fomented by the silversmith Demetrius and other merchants in Ephesus to protest the success of [[St. Paul]] and other early Christians in discrediting Artemis as a man-made god. The merchants are concerned that if the public ceases to believe in Artemis, they will lose their lucrative trade providing goods and services to the temple of Artemis and its many visitors. <ref> [[Book of Acts|Acts]] 19:23-41</ref>.

Artemis / Diana was a virgin goddess, and was often referred to in that context in [[Renaissance]] literature and thereafter. For example, in [[Shakespeare]]’s play “Much Ado About Nothing”, the confused Claudio accuses his fiancée of infidelity this way:

You seem to me as Diana in her orb, 
As chaste as is the bud ere it be blown; 
But you are more intemperate in your blood 
Than Venus, or those pamper'd animals 
That rage in savage sensuality.

<ref> Shakespeare, William, Much Ado About Nothing, Act IV Scene I</ref>

Ares

2008-04-04T18:02:05Z

ChrisGomez:

'''Ares''', or '''Mars''', was the Greek and Roman God of [[War]]. Unlike modern [[Christianity]], the ancients had a huge number of gods for all kinds of things, including war and [[love]] and the [[ocean]]. In contrast, Christianity believes in only one [[God]].

The Greeks told the story of how [[Ares]] was tricked by [[Aphrodite]] (Venus) into climbing into a big masonry jar, and then [[Hephaestus]] (Vulcan) screwed the cap on very tightly so that Ares couldn't get out. In this way, the Greeks illustrated that Love can fool War.

Apollo (mythology)

2008-04-04T18:01:36Z

ChrisGomez:

Apollo was one of the most important of the [[pagan]] Greek gods, being responsible for many things, including healing and plague, archery, the arts (particularly music), and most especially prophecy. Later on he would also become the sun god. It should be noted that, with the exception of prophecy, all of Apollo's areas of responsibility also sometimes belong to other pagan mythological figures: healing to [[Asclepius]], the arts to the [[Muse|Muses]], the sun to [[Helios]], and archery to Apollo's sister goddess [[Artemis]]. Even with respect to Apollo's role as the god of prophecy, it is sometimes suggested that Apollo derives his knowledge of the future from [[Zeus]], and then acts as a go between to humans.

Nonetheless, as the god of prophecy Apollo is one of the Greek gods most likely to interact with man. He appears at the beginning of what is generally considered to be the oldest non-[[Judaic]] text in the [[Western tradition]], the [[Iliad]] of [[Homer]]. It is Apollo's anger at the Greek troops outside the walls of [[Troy]] which results in the plague which is besetting the Greeks, and the attempts of the pagan priests to deal with the crisis lead directly to the conflict between [[Achilles]] and [[Agamemnon]] which is the basis of this great [[epic poem]]<ref>Homer, The Iliad, Book I</ref>.

Apollo's cryptic prognostications received at the [[Oracle of Delphi]] play a crucial role in the actions of both Greeks and Persians (as well as some other peoples) in [[Herodotus]]'s History, which is generally considered the first work of history. He also appears frequently as a moving force in the surviving Greek dramas, where a prophecy from Delphi sometimes foreshadows the action of the play or sets up an important conflict.

Apollo is always portrayed as a young man, in contrast with some of the other Greek gods, such as Zeus, who are always portrayed as middle aged. He is frequently portrayed with a bow and arrow or a lyre (a stringed instrument).

Persephone

2008-04-04T18:01:09Z

ChrisGomez:

In [[Greek mythology]], '''Persephone''' is the daughter of [[Demeter]] and [[Zeus]].

[[Hades]] was said to have abducted Persephone to be his bride. [[Demeter]], having lost her daughter, neglected the seasons as she searched for Persephone. The resultant draught and starvation brought the abduction to [[Zeus]]' attention, and he ordered for Persephone's release. To ensure that he retains his queen, [[Hades]] tricked Persephone into eating Pomegranate seeds, which forced her to return to the underworld for six months each year. This story was used to explain the changing of the seasons - when [[Demeter]] is reunited with Persephone, the earth is fertile; when Persephone departs for the underworld, the earth is barren.

Hera

2008-04-04T18:00:26Z

ChrisGomez:

'''Hera''', also called Juno by the [[Romans]], was the [[queen]] of the gods and wife of [[Zeus]] in pagan [[Greek mythology]]. She is depicted of being the goddess of marriage and birth, and of being jealous and vengeful with regards to Zeus' many affairs. A famous myth involving Hera is the Judgment of [[Paris (mythology)|Paris]] wherein Hera, [[Athena]], and [[Aphrodite]] were placed before Paris of Troy in order for him to judge 'the fairest'. Each attempted to bribe him with a gift: worldly power, wisdom, or a beautiful wife, [[Helen of Troy]], respectively. He chose Aphrodite's gift, thus angering Hera and [[Artemis]] and precipitating the [[Trojan War]].

[[Image:Jupiter.gif|right|thumb|Statue of Zeus, created by the famous Greek sculptor [[Pheidius]] during the 5th century B.C. It was considered one of the [[Seven Wonders of the Ancient World]]. The statue stood for over 800 years in the temple of Zeus at Olympia in Greece, until it was destroyed by fire.]]
In [[Greek mythology]], '''Zeus''' was the king of the [[Greece|Greek]] gods and the supreme ruler of [[Mount Olympus]]. He was the son of [[Cronus]] and [[Rhea (mythology)|Rhea]], who led the [[Titans]] (a race of mythical beings descended from Uranus and Gaia who preceded the Olympians as rulers of creation). Zeus overthrew his father to become the king of the gods. He was said to rule the world with his siblings [[Hera]] (also his wife), [[Poseidon]], [[Hades]], [[Demeter]], and [[Hestia]]; his children [[Athena]], [[Apollo]], [[Artemis]], [[Hermes]], [[Hephaestus]], and [[Ares]]; and [[Aphrodite]]. These were the thirteen major Greek gods; the Greeks also worshipped numerous minor deities.

Zeus is also depicted as having a number of infidelities. The most famous of his children from these liasons was [[Hercules]], a demi-god of great strength.

Zeus was adopted by the [[Romans]] as their chief god and called [[Jupiter (god)|Jupiter Optimus Maximus]], whose temple was in [[Rome]].

Athena

2008-04-04T17:59:25Z

ChrisGomez:

The [[Greek]] [[goddess]] of wisdom, just war, the arts, industry, justice and skill. She was the favorite child of [[Zeus]], and, according to Greek mythology, sprang out of Zeus's forehead shortly after he ate her mother, [[Metis]].

Athena was the patron goddess of [[Athens]]. She claimed the city after gifting it olives and olive oil in a competition with [[Poseidon]] for the city. Poseidon offered horses, but he was no match for the gifts of Athena.

She is often confused with [[Nike]], the goddess of victory. Though war and victory are closely related, Athena and Nike are two separate goddesses. Part of the confusion may stem from the pair being the best of friends.

The Romans worshipped Athena under the name [[Minerva]].

Poseidon

ChrisGomez:

[[Image:Poseidon.jpg|left]]
'''Poseidon''', (Greek: Ποσειδών; Spanish: Poseidon) also called Neptune by the [[Romans]], is the god of the sea in ancient [[Greek]] [[mythology]]. Poseidon is one of the most anciently worshipped gods in the Greek pantheon.

Following the overthrow of the [[Titans]], the sons of [[Kronos]], drew lots; Poseidon was granted dominion over the sea, and over earthquakes and horses, while [[Zeus]] was granted dominion over the sky, and [[Hades]] dominion over the [[underworld]]. Sailors often prayed to Poseidon for safe journeys, and in mythology failure to pay heed to Poseidon would lead to disastrous travel. In ''[[The Odyssey]]'', Odysseus (also called Ulysses by the Romans) attacks the Cicones, a favored tribe of Poseidon, and blinds Polyphemus, a Cyclops and son of Poseidon. As a result, Poseidon causes storms that blow Odysseus off course, and through a series of misadventures, caused him not to return home for 20 years.

In Greek mythology, Poseidon is associated with dolphins, fishes, [[Gigantes]], [[Cyclopes]] and tridents. He lived in a palace on the ocean floor, made of coral and gems. His chariot is pulled by a Hippocamp, or horses that could ride on the sea. [http://www.crystalinks.com/neptunerome.html]
