Mythology - Gods and Goddesses

An A-Z of the world's major deities

Greek Mythology • Greek Mythology Greek gods and goddesses were not benign unseen eternal and omniscient entities, they were often shaped like men and women, with human appearing emotions, and often interacting with humans. • Roman Gods and Goddesses While the Romans did adopt many of the Greek gods and goddesses, there were plenty of uniquely Roman ones, as well as other spirits and numina. These are lists of the Romans' gods divided into categories. • The Stories of Gods and Men Many of the ancient Greek myths tell stories about mortal Greek heroes aided by their gods. • Gods, Goddesses, & Other Immortals of Greek Mythology • Moon Gods and Goddesses

Throughout history, humans have ascribed various powers to supernatural beings. Such creatures include the immortal gods and goddesses. Some are given credit for the creation of the world and mankind, or food, warfare, love, and all the other good and bad elements of life. The gods and goddesses may be worshiped with altars, elaborate or gigantic statues, or sacrifices. Poets and other writers may tell stories featuring the traditional myths about the deities' involvement in human life.
