At the heart of Greek and Roman mythology lies a pantheon of gods and goddesses, each possessing unique powers, personalities, and domains. Zeus, the king of the gods, reigns supreme on Mount Olympus, wielding the power of thunder and lightning. His brothers, Poseidon and Hades, rule the seas and the underworld, respectively. Hera, Zeus's wife, is the goddess of marriage and childbirth. Athena, the goddess of wisdom, war, and crafts, emerges fully formed from Zeus's head. Apollo, the god of music, poetry, and prophecy, brings light and healing to the world. Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, wilderness, and childbirth, roams the forests with her loyal followers.
