Greek mythology can be fun to reseach, but is always fun to read! Keep reading on to see what interesting facts you can find in the 3rd pharagraph down there!! Enjoy!

I had a little bit of time to research it and found out these facts:

 

Ø      Theseus was a legendary King of Athens, son of Aethra, and fathered by Aegeus and Poseidon.

Ø      Thesues was a founder hero, like Perseus, Cadmus or Heracles all of whom battled and overcome foes that were unidentified with an archaic religious and social order.

Ø      Greece’s moto is “Freedom or death”, Greece’s capital is Athens.

Ø      Greece lies at the juncture of Europe, Asia and Africa.

Ø      Hercules is the Roman name for the mythical Greek hero Heracles, son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmena.

Ø      In Greek mythology, Artemis was the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo. She was the Hellenic goddess of the forest, hills, virginity, and the hunt and was often depicted as a huntress carrying a bow and some arrows.

Ø      The Minotaur‘s name means “Bull of Minos”. The Minotaur was killed by Theseus.

Cronus was overthrown by his own sons, Zeus, Hades and Poseidon.
