Bellerophon, hero known for defeating Chimera - Greek Gods Bellerophon was a famous Greek hero, mostly known for defeating Chimera, a fire-breathing mythical monster. He was also recognised by riding white Pegasus which was a sort of a gift from Athena for his devotion to the goddess. Bellerophon was, according to Homer's Iliad, a son of Glaucus and Eurymede of Corinth. Alternatively, according to Apollodorus and Hesiod's catallouges by Hyginus, he was a son of Poseidon by Eurymede which makes him a semi-god. Personally, I placed him among semi-gods because it consists with the story when Bellerophon called his father to help him, upon finding out the plot against him. There are, however, no records of him having any special powers except that he was one of the most favoured heroes by the gods, in a time before Heracles. Appearance in the works of art Most of the time, Bellerophon is depicted as a young man holding a spear in one of his hands and riding or feeding Pegasus.

Cronus Ruler of the Titans in Greek mythology Mythology[edit] Rise to Power[edit] Only Cronus was willing to do the deed, so Gaia gave him the sickle and placed him in ambush.[5] When Uranus met with Gaia, Cronus attacked him with the sickle, castrating him and casting his testicles into the sea. Overthrown[edit] Cronus learned from Gaia and Uranus that he was destined to be overcome by his own children, just as he had overthrown his father. Rhea secretly gave birth to Zeus in Crete, and handed Cronus a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes, also known as the Omphalos Stone, which he promptly swallowed, thinking that it was his son. Accounts of the fate of Cronus after the Titanomachy differ. Libyan account by Diodorus Siculus[edit] In a Libyan account related by Diodorus Siculus (Book 3), Uranus and Titaea were the parents of Cronus and Rhea and the other Titans. Sibylline Oracles[edit] Other accounts[edit] In some accounts, Cronus was also called the father of the Corybantes.[17] Antiquity[edit] H.
Bellerophon Ancient Greek hero Bellerophon was also known for capturing the winged horse Pegasus with the help of Athena’s charmed bridle, and earning the disfavour of the gods after attempting to ride Pegasus to Mount Olympus to join them.[5] Etymology[edit] One possible etymology that has been suggested is: Βελλεροφόντης (Bellerophóntēs) from Ancient Greek βέλεμνον (bélemnon), βελόνη (belóne), βέλος (bélos, "projectile, dart, javelin, needle, arrow") and -φόντης (-phóntēs, "slayer") from φονεύω (phoneúō, "to slay").

Saturn Sixth planet from the Sun Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an average radius of about nine-and-a-half times that of Earth.[26][27] It has only one-eighth the average density of Earth, but is over 95 times more massive.[28][29][30] Saturn's interior is thought to be composed of a rocky core, surrounded by a deep layer of metallic hydrogen, an intermediate layer of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium, and finally, a gaseous outer layer. Saturn has a pale yellow hue due to ammonia crystals in its upper atmosphere. Name and symbol ) has been traced back to the Greek Oxyrhynchus Papyri, where it can be seen to be a Greek kappa-rho ligature with a horizontal stroke, as an abbreviation for Κρονος (Cronus), the Greek name for the planet ( ).[34] It later came to look like a lower-case Greek eta, with the cross added at the top in the 16th century to Christianize this pagan symbol.

Glaucus In Greek mythology, Glaucus (; Ancient Greek: Γλαῦκος, Glaûkos meaning "glimmering") was a Greek prophetic sea-god, born mortal and turned immortal upon eating a magical herb. It was believed that he came to the rescue of sailors and fishermen in storms, having earlier earned a living from the sea himself. Family[edit] Mythology[edit] Origin[edit] John Tzetzes adds to the above story that Glaucus became "immortal, but not immune to aging".[15] In an alternate, non-extant version cited in Athenaeus (with reference to Nicander's Aetolian History), Glaucus chased a hare on Mount Oreia until the animal fell down almost dead, then carried his prey to a spring and rubbed it with a bunch of grass that was growing about. The herb[edit] Alexander of Aetolia, cited in Athenaeus, related that the magical herb grew on the island Thrinacia sacred to Helios and served as a remedy against fatigue for the sun god's horses.

Ops Ancient Roman goddess of fertility and the earth In ancient Roman religion, Ops or Opis (Latin: "Plenty") was a fertility deity and earth goddess of Sabine origin. Iconography[edit] Name[edit] The Latin word ops means "riches, goods, abundance, gifts, munificence, plenty".[2] The word is also related to opus, which means "work", particularly in the sense of "working the earth, ploughing, sowing". Worship[edit] According to Roman tradition, the cult of Opis was instituted by Titus Tatius, one of the Sabine kings of Rome. Mythology[edit] When Saturn learned of a prophecy that stated his and Opis' children would end up overthrowing him as leader, he ate his children one by one after they were born.

Proteus Illustration of Proteus by Andrea Alciato from The Book of Emblems (1531) In Greek mythology, Proteus (;[1] Ancient Greek: Πρωτεύς, Prōteus) is an early prophetic sea-god or god of rivers and oceanic bodies of water, one of several deities whom Homer calls the "Old Man of the Sea" (halios gerôn).[2] Some who ascribe a specific domain to Proteus call him the god of "elusive sea change", which suggests the constantly changing nature of the sea or the liquid quality of water. He can foretell the future, but, in a mytheme familiar to several cultures, will change his shape to avoid doing so; he answers only to those who are capable of capturing him. From this feature of Proteus comes the adjective protean, meaning "versatile", "mutable", or "capable of assuming many forms". "Protean" has positive connotations of flexibility, versatility and adaptability.

De Astronomica De Astronomica, also known as Poeticon Astronomicon,[1] is a book of stories whose text is attributed to "Hyginus", though the true authorship is disputed. During the Renaissance, the work was attributed to the Roman historian Gaius Julius Hyginus who lived during the 1st century BC. However, the fact that the book lists most of the constellations north of the ecliptic in the same order as Ptolemy's Almagest (written in the 2nd century) has led many to believe that a more recent Hyginus or Pseudo-Hyginus created the text. The text describes 47 of the 48 Ptolemaic constellations, centering primarily on the Greek and Roman mythology surrounding the constellations, though there is some discussion of the relative positions of stars. The De Astronomica was not formally published until 1482, by Erhard Ratdolt in Venice. References[edit] Citations[edit] Bibliography[edit] External links[edit]
