List of Greek deities

Deities in ancient Greece were immortal, anthropomorphic, and powerful. They were conceived of as individual persons, rather than abstract concepts or ideas, and were described as being similar to humans in appearance, though they were considered larger and more beautiful. Though typically found in mythology and religion in an anthropomorphic visage, the gods were also capable of taking on the form of various animals. The emotions and actions of deities were largely the same as those of humans; they frequently engaged in sexual activity, and were fickle and amoral. Deities were considered far more knowledgeable than humans, and it was believed that they conversed in a language of their own. Their immortality, the most defining marker of their divinity, meant that, after having grown to a certain point, they did not age any further. In place of blood, their veins flowed with ichor, a substance which was a product of their diet, and conferred upon them their immortality. Divine power allowed the gods to intervene in mortal affairs in various ways; they could cause natural events such as rain, wind, the growing of crops, or epidemics, and were able to dictate the outcomes of complex human events, such as battles or political situations.

Ancient Greek religion was polytheistic, and a multiplicity of gods were venerated by the same groups and individuals. The identity of a deity is demarcated primarily by their name, though this name can also be accompanied by an epithet (or surname), which may refer to a specific function of the god, to an association with another deity, or to a local form of the divinity. Worship was the means by which the Greeks honoured their gods, as they believed deities had the power to bring to their lives various positive outcomes which were beyond their own control. Greek cult, or religious practice, consisted of activities such sacrifices, prayers, libations, festivals, and the building of temples. By the 8th century BC, most deities were honoured in sanctuaries (temenē), sacred areas which often included included a temple and dining room, and which were typically dedicated to a single deity. The cult a of deity contributed to how they were viewed, based upon the kinds of sacrifices made in their honour, the relation of their rituals to the social order, and the location of their sanctuaries.

In addition to their name and cult, a god's character was determined by their mythology (the collection of stories told about them), and their iconography (how they were depicted in ancient Greek art). Mythological stories about a deity told of their deeds (which may have related to their functions) and linked them, through genealogical connections, to other gods with similar functions. The most important surviving accounts of Greek mythology can be found in Homeric epic, which tells of encounters between gods and mortals, and Hesiod's Theogony, which explicates a genealogy of the gods. Some myths attempted to explain the origins of certain cult practices, while others may have arisen from rituals; myths known throughout Greece can also have differing local versions. Artistic representations allow us to understand how deities were depicted over time from the early archaic period, and works such as vase paintings can significantly predate literary sources. Art contributed to how the Greeks conceived of the gods, and depictions would often assign them certain symbols, such as the thunderbolt of Zeus or the trident of Poseidon.

The principal gods of the Greek pantheon were the twelve Olympians, who lived on Mount Olympus, and were connected to each other as part of a single family. Zeus was the chief god of the pantheon, though Athena and Apollo were honoured in a greater number of sanctuaries in major cities, and Dionysus is the deity who has received the most attention from modern scholars. Beyond the central divinities of the pantheon, the Greek gods were numerous. Some parts of the natural world, such as the earth, sea, or sun, were held as divine throughout Greece, though other natural deities, such the various nymphs and river gods, were primarily of local significance. Personifications of abstract concepts appeared frequently in Greek art and poetry, though many were also venerated in cult, with some being worshipped as early as the 6th century BC. Groups or societies of deities could be purely mythological in importance, such as the Titans, or they could be the subject of significant worship, such as the Muses or Charites.

Major deities in Greek religion

The following section is structured after Walter Burkert's Greek Religion, particularly his section "Chapter III: The Gods".

Twelve Olympians

Name	Image	Description
Aphrodite Ἀφροδίτη		Goddess of sexual love and beauty. In Hesiod's Theogony she is born from the castrated genitals of Uranus, while in the Iliad she is the child of Zeus and Dione. She was worshipped throughout the Hellenic, and her best-known cults were located on the island of Cyprus. A number of scholars believe she was Near-Eastern in origin, though others argue she was derived from a Cypriot goddess who contained indigenous elements. In the Odyssey, she is married to Hephaestus, though she fornicates with Ares, and the two are caught in sexual embrace by an invisible net crafted by her husband. She also had affairs with mortals such as Adonis and Anchises, and would provide help to mortals lovers while punishing those who spurned love. In art, she was represented from the 7th century BC as a robed figure, though in the Hellenistic period various nude and semi-nude depictions were produced; among her symbols were various birds, especially doves. Her Roman counterpart is Venus.
Apollo Ἀπόλλων		Son of Zeus and Leto, and twin brother of Artemis. His various functions and associations include healing, music, archery and prophecy, and he has often been characterised as the "most Greek" of the gods. Apollo's cult existed thoughout Greece, having been this widespread by the beginning of the 7th century BC, and was likely been brought to Greece during the Greek Dark Ages. By the 5th century BC, his worship had been introduced into Rome, where he was revered primarily as a god of healing. In mythology, he was said to have slain the dragon Python, who guarded an oracle of Themis at Delphi, before taking over the shrine for himself. He had numerous love affairs with nymphs and women such as Daphne and Cyrene, as well as with males such as Hyacinth, though he was often unsuccessful in his amorous pursuits. In art, he is depicted as a youth, usually without a beard, and can be found portrayed as a lyre player or archer. From the 5th century BC, he was often equated with the sun.
Ares Ἄρης		God of war. He is the son of Zeus and Hera, and the lover of Aphrodite, by whom, in the Theogony, he is the father of Deimos, Phobos and Harmonia. His cult was relatively limited, and his temples were located mostly on Crete and in the Peloponnese; he also often appeared alongside Aphrodite in cult. In the Iliad, he is depicted in a largely negative manner, as a brash and wild warrior; he supports the Trojan side of the war, and is frequently presented in opposition to Athena. In ancient art, he was depicted early on as a warrior, bearded and with a spear and shield, though from the classical period he can found as a beardless and more youthful figure. In Rome, his counterpart was Mars.
Artemis Ἄρτεμις		Daughter of Zeus and Leto, and twin sister of Apollo. She presided over transitions, and was associated with hunting and the wild. Her cult was the most far-reaching of any goddess, and she presided over female (as well as male) initiation rites. She is among the oldest of the Greek gods, and is closely linked with Asia Minor. In Homeric epic, she is described as a talented hunter who traverses the Arcadian mountains, accompanied by a retinue of nymphs. She remained a young maiden and virgin indefinitely, and men who attempted to violate her chastity generally faced severe consequences. She dispatches swift punishment against mortals who display arrogance towards her, or fail to honour her properly, and is also known for unexpectedly and suddenly killing mortal women. In art, she is often depicted as a hunter carrying a bow and arrow, and wearing a dress, though from the 7th century BC there exist depictions of her as Potnia Theron. Her Roman counterpart is Diana.
Athena Ἀθηνᾶ		Daughter of Zeus, who is born from his head after he swallows her mother, Metis. She was originally a Minoan or Mycenaean goddess, and her name is likely derived from that of Athens. Throughout Greece she was the foremost polis deity, and in Greek cities her temple was typically located on the citadel; the nexus of her worship was the Athenian Acropolis, upon which there was temple to her by the 8th or 7th century BC. She is both a virgin goddess and a warrior, and is the patroness of all forms of craftmanship. In mythology, she competes with Poseidon for the patronage of Athens, besting him by offering its inhabitants the olive tree. She is described as a provider of aid to male heroes, helping figures such as Heracles, Perseus, and Bellerophon in their quests. In the earliest known artistic depictions of Athena, she wears a helmet and carries a spear and lance, and around the early 6th century BC there begin appearing representations including the aegis and a shield adorned with a gorgoneion. Her Roman counterpart is Minerva.
Demeter Δημήτηρ		Goddess of agriculture. She is the daughter of Cronus and Rhea, and the mother of Persephone by Zeus. She and her daughter were intimately connected in cult, and the two goddesses were honoured in the Thesmophoria festival, which included only women. Demeter presided over the growing of grain, and she was responsible for the lives of married women. Her most important myth is that of her daughter's abduction, in which Persephone is stolen by Hades and taken into the underworld; hearing the cries of her daughter as she is taken, Demeter traverses the earth looking for her, and local versions of the story tell of her interactions with mortals during her search. This myth, which is first narrated in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, was central to the Eleusinian Mysteries, the most ancient of the Greek mystery religions. In art, Demeter is typically depicted as a clothed figure, and features of her representations include the polos, calathus, sheaf, and torch. Her Roman counterpart is Ceres.
Dionysus Διόνυσος		Son of Zeus and the mortal woman Semele. He is the "most versatile and elusive" Greek deity, and is the god who has received the greatest attention in modern scholarship. He is the god of wine, intoxication, and ecstasy, and is associated with theatre, eroticism, masks, and madness. His name is attested in Mycenaean Greece, and there is evidence of him having been worshipped continuously from the 15th century BC. His cult was more far-reaching than that of any other Greek god; his festivals, which could be found across the Greek world, often featured drunkenness and revelry, and included the Anthesteria, the Agrionia, the Rural Dionysia, and the City Dionysia. His pregnant mother dies upon seeing Zeus in the form in which he appears to Hera, and Zeus stitches the unborn god into his thigh, from which he is then born. He is accompanied by a retinue of satyrs, maenads, and silenoi, and is said to have travelled with his followers to locations such as Egypt and India. His artistic depictions are more numerous than those of any other god; prior to 430 BC, he is portrayed as a bearded and clothed adult, often adorned with an animal skin, while later representations depict him as a beardless, effeminate youth.
Hephaestus Ἥφαιστος		God of fire and metalworking. He is the son of Hera, either on her own or by Zeus. He is non-Greek in origin, and his cult was likely imported from Asia Minor. He was worshipped on the island of Lemnos, and more famously at Athens, where he was linked with Athena. In Homeric epic he is the smith of the gods, who produces creations such as the shield of Achilles; he has crippled feet, and is an outcast among the Olympians. He is said to have been hurled from Olympus as an infant, either by Zeus, landing on Lemnos, or by Hera, landing in the sea. His wife is Aglaea, one of the Charites, or the unfaithful Aphrodite. In art, he is depicted wearing a pilos from the 5th century BC, and can be found holding an axe or hammer. His Roman counterpart is Vulcan.
Hera Ἥρα		Wife of Zeus, and daughter of Cronus and Rhea. She is associated with marriage in particular, and is the queen of the gods.. She likely descends from a goddess who was worshipped in Mycenaean Greece. She has some of the oldest sanctuaries, which often contain immense temples, and her two most important locations of worship were the Heraion of Argos and Samos; she was venerated in her role as the wife of Zeus, and as a city goddess. By her husband she is the mother of Ares, Hebe, and Eileithyia, and in myth she is a jealous wife who torments Zeus's mistresses and other children. In artistic depictions of groups, she can sometimes be distinguished as a figure in bride's attire, accompanying Zeus, and in scenes of hieros gamos she is portrayed as a matronly figure; features of her depictions include clothing being pulled around her head like a veil, the patera, the sceptre, and pomegranate. Her Roman counterpart is Juno.
Hermes Ἑρμῆς		Son of Zeus and the nymph Maia. He is the messenger and herald of the gods, the god of boundaries and their crossing, and a trickster deity. He is likely derived from a god which existed in Mycenaean Greece, and the most ancient location of his cult was the region of Arcadia, where his worship was especially prevalent; his cult was spread through the Peloponnese, and existed in a particularly ancient in Athens. He was closely linked with herms, stone statues which marked various boundaries, and was the patron of shepherds, especially young men whose job it was to protect crops from cattle. He is said to have stolen the cattle of Apollo as a new-born, receiving the herd from the god by gifting him the lyre, which he had created from a tortoise's shell. In art, his symbols include the caduceus, the petasos (or pilos), and his winged sandals; he is a bearded figure prior to the 4th century BC, after which beardless begin appearing. His Roman counterpart is Mercury.
Hestia Ἑστία		Goddess of the hearth. She is the daughter of Cronus and Rhea. Her role in mythology is minimal, and she is never fully anthropomorphic. In cultic activity, she is always the deity who receives the first offering or prayer, and she was venerated in each city's communal hearth, or prytaneion. She is a virgin goddess, who forever retains her chastity, and rejects the advances of male deities such as Apollo and Poseidon. Her Roman counterpart is Vesta.
Poseidon Ποσειδῶν		God of the sea, earthquakes, and horses. He is the son of Cronus and Rhea, and the brother of Zeus and Hades. He was an important deity in Mycenaean Greece, and through the archaic period his position receded. He had sanctuaries in many coastal locations, though he was also worshipped in inland areas, where he was associated with bodies of water such as pools and streams. His epithets include Hippios (relating to horses), "Earth-Shaker", and "Embracer of Earth". In the Iliad, he and his brothers split the cosmos between themselves, with Poseidon receiving the sea. His wife is Amphitrite, with whom he lives below the ocean, though he has affairs with numerous women, producing sometimes dangerous or monstrous children. From the 7th century BC, Corinthian votive tablets show him with his trident in hand, wearing a diadem and chiton; it can be difficult to tell apart him apart from Zeus, and only from the Hellenistic period is he found in a chariot pulled by hippocampi. His Roman counterpart is Neptune.
Zeus Ζεύς		Chief god of the Greek pantheon. He is the king of the gods, and the most powerful deity. He is the son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, and the husband of Hera. He is the only Greek god who is unquestionably Indo-European in origin, and he is attested already in Mycenaean Greece. His numerous functions and domains are more varied than those of any other god, and over 1000 of his epithets survive. According to Hesiod's Theogony, he attains his power by overthrowing his father and the other Titans in a ten-year war known as the Titanomachy. Through his innumerable sexual exploits with mortal women, he was the father of various heroes and progenitors of well-known family lines. Among his symbols are the thunderbolt, the sceptre, and the eagle. In art from the 6th century BC onwards, he was often shown sitting on a throne, or as an upright figure wielding a lightning bolt; Zeus's lusting after women is also frequently found on vase paintings from the 5th century BC. His Roman counterpart is Jupiter, also referred to as Jove.

Chthonic deities

Hades

Persephone

• Hades (ᾍδης, Háidēs). King of the underworld and the dead. He is also a god of wealth. His consort is Persephone. His attributes are the drinking horn or cornucopia, key, sceptre, and the three-headed dog Cerberus. His sacred animals include the screech owl. He was one of three sons of Cronus and Rhea, and thus sovereign over one of the three realms of the universe, the underworld. As a chthonic god, however, his place among the Olympians is ambiguous. In the mystery religions and Athenian literature, Plouton ("the Rich one") was his preferred name, because of the idea that all riches came from the earth. The term Hades was used in this literature to refer to the underworld itself. The Romans translated Plouton as Dis Pater ("the Rich Father") or Pluto.
