The Gods
Aphrodite - Goddess of Love
Hades - God of the Underworld
Ares - God of War
Ares, son of Zeus, king of the gods, and his wife, Hera, queen of the gods, were the Olympian gods of war. The Romans identified Ares with Mars, also a god of war. Aggressive and blood-thirsty, Ares personified the brutal nature of war. He was unpopular with both gods and humans. Among the deities associated with Ares were his consort, Aphrodite, goddess of love and sex, and such minor deities as Deimos (Fear) and Phobos (Rout), who accompanied him in battle. Although fierce and warlike, Ares was not invincible, even against mortals.
Aphrodite, Olympian goddess of love and sex and the counterpart of the Roman Venus. In Homer's Iliad she is said to be the daughter of Zeus and Dione, one of his consorts, but in later legends she is described as having sprung from the foam of the sea and her name may be translated "foam-risen." In Homeric legend Aphrodite is the wife of the lame and ugly god of fire, Hephaestus. Among her lovers was Ares, god of war, who in later mythology became her husband. She was the rival of Persephone, queen of the underworld, for the love of the beautiful Greek youth, Adonis.
Hades is the ruler of the three aspects of the Underworld. First is the Elysian Fields (Or otherwise known as Elysia or Elysium). Some claim this is where the souls of hero’s go when they die. Other’s claim it’s not just for hero’s but for all souls who have lived good lives. Either way it is the best place in the Greek Afterlife. It has its own sun, it’s own world for that matter. A world of never ending happiness and beauty…
