Zeus
Zeus (IPA:
/zjuːs/; in
Greek:
nominative: Ζεύς Zeús
/zdeús/,
genitive: Διός Diós;
Modern Greek /'zefs/) in
Greek mythology is the
king of the gods, the ruler of
Mount Olympus and the god of the
sky
and
thunder. His symbols are the
thunderbolt,
eagle,
bull, and oak.
In addition to his Indo-European inheritance, the classical "cloud-gatherer"
also derives certain iconographic traits from the cultures of the
ancient Near East, such as the
scepter. Zeus is frequently depicted by Greek artists in one of two
poses: standing, striding forward, with a thunderbolt
leveled in his raised right hand, or seated in majesty.
Zeus was the child of
Cronus
and
Rhea, and the youngest of his siblings. In most traditions he was
married to Hera,
although, at the oracle of
Dodona,
his consort was
Dione: according to the
Iliad,
he is the father of
Aphrodite by Dione. He is known for his erotic escapades. These
resulted in many godly and heroic offspring, including
Athena,
Apollo
and
Artemis,
Hermes,
Persephone (by
Demeter),
Dionysus,
Perseus,
Heracles,
Helen,
Minos, and the
Muses (by
Mnemosyne); by Hera, he is usually said to have fathered
Ares,
Hebe and
Hephaestus.
His
Roman counterpart was
Jupiter and his
Etruscan counterpart
Tinia. In
Hindu mythology his counterpart was
Indra
with ever common weapon as
thunderbolt.
Hera
In
the
Olympian pantheon of classical
Greek Mythology, Hera (pronounced
/ˈhɪərə/ or
/ˈhɛrə/,
Greek Ήρα) or Here
(Ήρη in
Ionic and
Homer) was the wife and older sister of
Zeus.
Her chief function was as goddess of women and marriage. In
Roman mythology,
Juno was the equivalent mythical character. The cow and, later,
the
peacock were sacred to her.

Saturn
Saturn
(Latin:
Saturnus) was a major
Roman god
of agriculture and harvest. In medieval times he was known as the
Roman god of agriculture, justice and strength; he held a sickle in
his left hand and a bundle of wheat in his right. His mother's name
was Helen, or Hel. He was identified in
classical antiquity with the
Greek deity
Cronus,
and the mythologies of the two gods are commonly mixed.
Sky Father
The sky father is a recurring theme in
mythology. The sky father is the complement of the
earth mother and appears in some
creation myths, many of which are
European or ancient
Near Eastern. Other cultures have quite different myths;
Egyptian mythology features a sky mother and an earthly
dying and reviving god of vegetation.
Shinto
gives precedence to a sun goddess. A sky father also relates to a
solar deity, a god identified with the sun.
In
Maori mythology,
Ranginui was the sky father. In this story, the sky father and
earth mother Papatuanuku, embraced and had divine children.
In
China,
the God of
the
Abrahamic religions is sometimes called 天父 which means the Sky
Father or Heavenly Father.
In
Ancient Rome the sky father, or sky god, was
Jupiter (Zeus,
Ζεύς, in
Ancient Greece). Often depicted by birds, usually the
Eagle or
Hawk, and
clouds or other sky phenomena. Nicknames included, "Sky God" and, "Cloud
Gatherer." Most predominantly heard in The
Iliad, an
epic poem written by the Greek poet
Homer.
While many attribute a sky god to the sun, Jupiter ruled mainly over the
clouds and the heavens, while
Apollo
is referred to as the god of the sun. Apollo was, however, the child of
Jupiter.
In
Ancient Egypt,
Horus was
ruler of the sky. He was shown as a typical male humanoid, however, he
appeared to have the head of a
falcon.
It is not uncommon for birds to represent the sky in ancient religions,
due to their ability to fly.
Father Time
Father Time (known as
Pakiž in some countries) is a
personification of
time. He is
usually depicted as an elderly bearded man, dressed in a robe, carrying
an
hourglass or other timekeeping device (representing time's constant
movement). This image derives from many sources, including the
Grim Reaper and
Chronos,
the
Greek god of time.
Because of their similarity in name as pertaining to
parental figures, he is sometimes paired with
Mother Nature as a married couple.
Chronos
In
Greek mythology, Chronos (Ancient
Greek: Χρόνος) in
pre-Socratic philosophical works is said to be the personification of
time. His
name actually means "time," and is alternatively spelled Khronos
(transliteration of the Greek) or Chronus (Latin version). Not to
be confused with
Cronus,
a
Titan.
Chronos was imagined as an incorporeal god, serpentine
in form, with three heads—that of a man, a bull, and a lion. He and his
consort, serpentine
Ananke (Inevitability), circled the primal world-egg in their coils
and split it apart to form the ordered universe of earth, sea and sky.
He was depicted in Greco-Roman mosaics as a man
turning the
Zodiac Wheel. Often the figure is named
Aeon
(Eternal Time), a common alternate name for the god.
Chronos is usually portrayed through an old, wise man
with a long, gray beard, such as "Father
Time."
Some of the current English words whose etymological
root is khronos/chronos include
chronology,
chronic, and
chronicle.
Milky Way Myths
There are many
creation myths around the world which explain the origin of the
Milky Way and give it its name. The
English phrase is a translation from
Greek Γαλαξίας, Galaxias, which is derived from the word for
milk (γάλα, gala). This is also the origin of the word
galaxy.
Indians call it the
Akashganga or a celestial form of the holy river, Ganga.[citation
needed] In
Greek myth, the Milky Way was caused by milk spilt by
Hera when
suckling
Heracles.
Creation Myths/Milky Way
Myths
A creation myth or cosmogonic myth is a
supernatural
mytho-religious
story or explanation that describes the beginnings of
humanity,
earth,
life, and the
universe (cosmogony),[1]
usually as a deliberate act by one or more
deities.
Many creation myths share broadly similar themes.
Common
motifs include the fractionation of the things of the world from a
primordial chaos; the separation of the mother and father
gods; land
emerging from an infinite and timeless ocean; or creation
ex
nihilo (English:
out of nothing).
The term creation myth is sometimes used in a
derogatory way to describe stories which are still believed today, as
the term
myth may suggest something which is absurd or fictional. While
these beliefs and stories need not be a literal account of actual
events, they may yet express ideas that are perceived by some people and
cultures to be truths at a deeper or more symbolic level.

Cosmogony
Cosmogony, or cosmogeny,
is any
theory concerning the coming into
existence or origin of the
universe, or about how
reality came to be. The word comes from the Greek
κοσμογονία (or
κοσμογενία), from κόσμος "cosmos, the world", and the root of
γί(γ)νομαι /
γέγονα "to be born, come about". In the specialized context of
space science and
astronomy, the term refers to theories of creation of (and study
of) the
Solar System.
Mother Goddess/Milky Way
A
mother goddess is a
goddess, often portrayed as the Earth Mother, who serves as a
general
fertility deity, the bountiful embodiment of the
Earth.
As such, not all goddesses should be viewed as manifestations of the
mother goddess.

Myths/Milky Way Myths
A Solar Deity (also Sun
God(dess)), is a
deity
who represents the
sun, or
an aspect of it. People have worshiped these for all of recorded
history. Hence, many beliefs have formed around this worship,
such as the "missing sun" found in many cultures (see below). Sun
worship is a possible origin of
henotheism and ultimately
monotheism.
