The myths about him mainly originate from Homer's epic poems. He is the son of Zeus and Hera. He is bloodthirsty, warlike, and cruel. He is the embodiment of bloody battles, but his martial arts is not very strong. During the Trojan War, he helped the Trojans fight the Greeks. He was stabbed by the Greek hero Diomedes and defeated by Athena. He was handsome and admired by Aphrodite, but during a tryst with Aphrodite, he was caught red-handed by Aphrodite's lame husband Hephaestus and became a laughing stock in the god world. . His worship was not very popular in ancient Greece, and there were few places dedicated to his worship. Some myths say that he is the ancestor of the Amazon people. In Roman times, he was confused with Mars of Rome. Mars was a very revered god in Rome, alongside the main god Jupiter, and as the father of the founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus, he became the ancestor of the Romans. Mars may have been associated with agriculture at first, but after being confused with Ares, he continued to be worshiped simply as the god of war. Eros, the little god of love in Greek mythology. One of the ancient gods. At first it was believed that Eros was born of the giant god Chaos and the god of heaven or earth. Later, it was believed that he was born of Ares or Zeus (or Hermes) and Aphrodite. His image and functions also changed. He became a beautiful and immortal child with two golden wings and a bow and arrow with the magic of love on his shoulders. All living things in the air, on land, in the water and even underground were under the control of his love power. He was alert, cunning, and fond of mischief, even to Zeus and his mother, making them endure the torture of love. As the little god of love, he usually serves as Aphrodite's messenger to complete her various love missions. He is also the god of youth friendship. During the Hellenistic period, many young Eros appeared as attendants of Eros. During the Roman period, Eros was confused with Amor (also known as Cubid), the little god of love in Roman mythology. The most touching love story of Eros is the legend of his love with Psyche, which was described in detail by the Roman writer Apuleius in the novel "Metamorphoses". Odysseus experienced the underworld, a land of darkness and death. Odysseus Odysseus is a character in Greek mythology and legend. Called Ulysses or Ulyxes in Roman mythology and legend. He was the king of Ithaca in western Greece and participated in the Trojan War. Before the expedition, he joined the Greek mission to see Priam, King of Troy, in order to peacefully resolve the dispute caused by Paris's robbery of Helen, but no result was obtained. During the 10-year siege of Troy by the Greek coalition forces, Odysseus was brave, resourceful and accomplished many extraordinary feats. He used the Trojan horse plan to defeat Troy. On the way back from Troy with his companions, he offended the sea god Poseidon by blinding the one-eyed giant Polyphemus. As a result, he was repeatedly obstructed by Poseidon and went through all kinds of hardships and dangers. He defeated the witch Kirk, overcame the temptation of the beautiful song of the sea monster Sev, passed through the residence of the sea monster Scylla and Charybdis, got rid of the seven-year retention of the goddess Calypso, and finally got lucky in the tenth year. One man returned to his hometown of Ithaca, and together with his son Telemachus, killed the suitors who pestered his wife and squandered his family wealth, and reunited the family. Odysseus' deeds are described in detail in Homer's epic poem. The legends after Homer's epic poems supplemented Odysseus's experience, but mostly highlighted the negative characteristics of his character, portraying him as a hypocritical, cunning, and cowardly person. Oedipus Oedipous Greek mythology and legend. First seen in early epics. He is the son of King Laius of Thebes and Jocasta (called Epicaste in the epic). Laius knew from a divine revelation that he would be killed by his son, so after his son was born, he bound his feet and ordered his servants to abandon him in the mountains. The servant did not obey the king's instructions and gave the baby to the shepherds of Polybus, king of Corinth. The childless King of Corinth adopted the baby as an adopted son and named him Oedipus, which means "the one with swollen feet" (it is said that the baby was thrown into the sea, and the waves washed the baby to Sicyon, where he was adopted by the king as his adopted son) ). When Oedipus grew up, he was known as the "abandoned son". He went to Delphi to consult the gods and learned that he would kill his father and marry his mother. He decided not to go home and wander in a foreign land. When he came to the land of Thebes, he met a group of people passing by. There was a quarrel between the two parties. Except for one slave who escaped by chance, the rest were killed by Oedipus. The leader of them was his biological father Laios. .

On the way to Thebes, he guessed the riddle of the banshee Sphinx, which made the banshee jump off a cliff to death in shame, thus averting the disaster for the Thebes. The Thebans were grateful to him, made him their king, married Queen Jocasta to him, and bore him two boys and two girls. Later, famine and plague occurred in Thebes, and the gods revealed that the murderers of the king must be expelled in order to eliminate the disaster. Oedipus searched hard and found that the murderer was himself. The prophecy comes true, Jocasta commits suicide, and Oedipus blinds himself. There are different opinions about Oedipus's future fate. One says that he lived in Thebes until his death of old age, and the other says that he cursed his son to expel him, went out to roam, and was buried on the outskirts of Athens. Poseidon Poseidon The god of the sea in Greek mythology. Brothers of Zeus, Hades, etc. Homer said he was younger than Zeus, Hesiod and many later writers said he was older than Zeus. After the Olympus gods headed by Zeus established their rule, Zeus, Hades and he divided the world, and he was assigned jurisdiction over the sea. His palace was under the sea (some say it was at Aegei on the northern coast of the Peloponnese). His weapon is a three-pronged fork, which can split mountains and rocks and make waves. There are many legends about him. For example, he was punished and served King Laomedon of Troy together with Apollo. Because Laomedon refused to pay the reward, he sent a sea monster to cause harm to the local area; he once competed with Athena to conquer Apollo. The ruler of Tica, the spring he dug (one said to bring horses) was not as popular as the goddess's olive tree, so the goddess won; he resented Odysseus for blinding his son Polyphemus, the Cyclops It was difficult to eliminate, which caused Odysseus to wander at sea for a long time. Poseidon is a very ancient god. His name has been mentioned in inscriptions dating back more than 2000 BC, saying that he shook the earth and ruled the earth. Therefore, he may have been an earth god at that time. After he became the god of the sea, he still retained his original nickname as the god of earth. At the same time, as the master of the sea, he pushed the various original regional sea gods to a secondary position. His worship was particularly popular in Asia Minor and some islands in the Aegean Sea. As the god of the sea, his temples are mostly built on cliffs and promontories. In Rome, he was confused with Neptune, who had similar functions among native Italian gods. There is a Neptune Festival every June.
