The Brief Love Story of CUPID and PSYCHE

This is a story on how the two lovers survive in a relationship that full of obstacles made by Venus the Mother of Cupid.

HESTIA

She was Zeus's sister, and like Athena and Artemis a virgin goddess. She has no distinct personality and she plays part in myths. she was the Goddess of the Heath.the symbol of the home, around which the newborn child must be carried beofre it could be received into the family. Evry meal began and ended with an offering to her.

Each city has a public hearth sacred to hestia, where the fire was never allowed to go out. If a colony was to be founded, the colinists caried withthem coals form hearth of the mother-city with which to kindle the fire on the new city's herath.

In Rome, her fire was cared for by six virgin priestesses, called Vestals.

HEPHAESTUS

The God of fire, sometimes said to be the son of Zeus and hera, sometimes of Hera alone, who bore him inretaliation for Zeus's havingbrought forth Athena. Among the perfectly beautiful immortals he only was ugly. he was lame as well. In one place in the Iliad he says that his shameless mother, when she saw that he was born deformed, cast him out ofheaven; in another place he declares that Zeus did this, angry with him for trying to defend Hera.

His wife is one of the three Graces in the Iliad, called Aglaia in Hesiod; in Odyssey she is Aphrodite.

He was kindly, peace loving god, popular on earth as in heaven.

ARES

The God of War, son of Zeus and Hera, both of whom. indeed, he is hateful throughout the Iliad, poem of war through it is. Occasionally the heroes" joice in delightof Ares battle, but for oftener in having escaped" the fury of the ruthless god". Homer calls him murderous, bloodstained the incarnate curse of mortals; and strangely, a cowrd too, who bellows with pain and runs away when he is wounded.

Ares figures little in mythology. In one story he is the lover of Aphrodite and help up to the contempt of the Olypmians by Aphrodite's husband.

he had no cities where he was worshipped. The Greeks said vaguely that he came from the Thrace, home of a rude, fierce people in the northeast of Greece.

Appropriately, his bird was the vulture. The dog was wronged by being chosen as his animal.

HERMES

Zeus was his father and Maia, daughter of Atlas, his mother. Because of a very popular statue his appearance is more familiar to us than that of any other god. He was graceful and swift of motion.  On his feet were winged sandals; wings were on his low-crowned hat, too, and on his magic wand, the Caduceus. He was Zeus's messenger, who "flies as fleet as thought to do his bidding"

Of all the gods he was the shrewdest and most cunning; in fact he was the Master Thief, who started upon his career before he was a day old.

he was also th solemn guide of the dead, the Divine herald who led the souls down to their last home.

He appears oftener in the tales of mythology than any other god.

APHRODITE

  

 The Goddess of Love and Beauty, who beguiled all, Gods and men alike; the laughter-loving goddess, who laughed sweetly or mockingly at those her wiles had conquered; the irresistible goddess who stole away even the wits of the wise.

She is the daughter of Zeus and Dione in the Iliad, but in later poems she is said to have sprung from the foam of the sea, ans her name was explained as meaning "the foam-risen/" Aphros is foam in Greek. This sea-birth took place near Cythera, from where she was wafted to Cyprus. Both islands were ever after sacred to her, and she was called Cythrea or the Cyprian as often as by her proper name.

In most of the stories she is the wife of Hephaestus, the lame and ugly god of the forge.

The myrtle was her tree; the dove was her bird---sometimes too, the sparrow and the swan.
