Greek Gods: The Similarities Of Greek Mythology

Greek, in my opinion, has some of the most diverse mythology there is. You have some gods who control the weather, the sea, and the underworld. Those are the three major gods that are the most well-known throughout children, teens, and even adults. The first god that is the most well known is Zeus. He is the most well-known god, and is probably the closest god that resembles god in modern religion. He is the ruler of the sky and the heavens. Zeus has had to fight for his control of the heavens, literally. According to some myths, he has fought and dueled with his siblings quite a few times. It is said that he fought with Hades, god of the underworld, and Poseidon, god of the sea. These three were the ones who fought each other, because they

The three had duked it out amongst each other in order to see who would ruled what. Zeus, always winning, had gotten the chance to rule the skies and heavens. However, Hades, the rebellious of the two and weakest, had gotten stuck with ruling the underworld. Now, before anyone gets the wrong idea and assumes that the underworld is equivalent to hell, it is simply a place where common souls go once their are separated by the humans. It’s not hell, on other terms, and is actually like purgatory. Those who did great deeds, and were acknowledged by the gods, were sent to another place, called Mount Olympus. This can be referred to as heaven, as it basically is everything you could ever dream of. These souls would be labelled as heroes.

One of the most popular beliefs that had Christians have, is that Jesus Christ had been revived, despite the fact that he had been stoned and was killed. The story goes on and tells readers that he was given another life by God to change people’s point of views. I’m going in depth into this story, because it can relate to a story of a hero in Greek mythology. There is no name for this hero, but there is a story of a man, who has been publicly executed, by still lived like a new person the day after. He was announced dead by members of the high council in Greek. Legend says, that he was executed for spreading out rumours that there were more gods out there, and some divine power living amongst them. Due to this being outrages, the high council had sent him to execution. Merely a day after, he came back alive, with a message from the three major gods themselves. Astonished, the high council had granted him an actual theater for him to spread his message in. This closely relates to the story of Jesus Christ. Both men were publicly executed, came back alive, and continued to spread the message sent by their respective God. It is even said that he is where the story of Jesus Christ had came from. Coincidence? Experts think not. Now, I will
