ANGELS & DEMONS
The Western religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
have all accepted the belief that there is, between God and
mankind, a class of intermediary beings called angels. The word angel
comes from the Greek word angelos, meaning "messenger." Angels are
considered to be bodiless minds or spirits who perform various
services for God or for people on God's behalf.
Angels are good spirits. They have their counterpart in demons, or
evil spirits. The word demon is derived from the Greek word daimon,
meaning basically any supernatural being or spirit. Belief in spirits
of all kinds was quite prevalent in the ancient world. But when
Christianity appeared, nearly 2,000 years ago, it condemned belief in
such spirits and assigned them the name demon. Ever since, demons have
been thought of as evil spirits.
The origins of belief in angels and demons can be traced to the
ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism. Followers of the prophet
Zoroaster believed that there were two supreme beings, one good and
the other evil. The good one, Ahura Mazda, was served by angels; the
evil one, Ahriman, had demon helpers. Zoroastrians referred to demons
as daevas, hence the word devil. Belief in good and evil spirits
worked its way into Judaism and later into the religions of
Christianity and Islam.
Angels are frequently mentioned in the Bible, mostly in the role of
messengers from God to mankind. Their appearances on Earth seem to
have been in human form. In the Old Testament books of Job, Ezekiel,
and Daniel, as well as in the Apocryphal book of Tobit, angels play
significant roles. In the Book of Job the leading demon, Satan, is
also introduced. But it is not until the New Testament that Satan is
portrayed, under the name Lucifer, as the first of the fallen
angels--the angels that rebelled against God.
In the New Testament, angels are present at all the important events
in the life of Jesus, from his birth to the Resurrection. In the very
dramatic Book of Revelation, angels are portrayed as the agents of God
in bringing judgment upon the world. Other New Testament writers also
speak of angels. St. Paul especially takes note of them by assigning
them ranks. He lists seven groups: angels, archangels, principalities,
powers, virtues, dominions, and thrones. The Old Testament had spoken
of only two orders: cherubim and seraphim. Early Christianity accepted
all nine ranks and in the course of time developed extensive doctrines
about both angels and demons. The latter were conceived of as Satan's
legions, sent out to lure mankind away from belief in God. Angels and
demons play similar roles in Islam and are often mentioned in its holy
book, the Koran.
Belief in supernatural spirits has not been limited to the major
Western religions. In the preliterate societies of Africa, Oceania,
Asia, and the Americas, spirits were thought to inhabit the whole
natural world. These spirits could act either for good or
for evil, and so there was no division between them as there has
been between angels and demons. The power of these spirits is called
mana, which can be either helpful or hurtful to people.
Fascination with angels and demons has led to their frequent depiction
in works of art and literature. The paintings, stained glass, mosaics,
and sculptures of the Middle Ages and Renaissance are especially
replete with figures of both. In John Milton's long poem 'Paradise
Lost' (1667), Satan himself is a main character; and the angels
Raphael, Gabriel, and Michael play prominent roles. In Dante's 'Divine
Comedy' (1321?) angels appear as both messengers and guardians, and
Satan is vividly portrayed frozen in a block of ice.

... WOW ... that's a s***load of demon info! ;)
Thanks for all this info, I've always found mythology very interesting, and this challenge is looking really fun.
I haven't decided yet weather I'll do a demon, or some sort of god, although in some religions the line gets blurred between the two.

1st Hierarchy
----------------------------------
Seraphim: According to Enoch, each Seraphim has six wings. In the Old Testament Book of Isaiah (6:1-3) he writes "...I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim; each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew." In the Book of Revelation (4:8) is another possible reference: "And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to sing 'Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come!"
Cherubim: Cherubim had the bodies of a winged bull, an eagle, or a sphinx and the faces of men or lions. As is clear from Ezekiel's encounter, the cherubim possess four wings and four faces, symbolizing their eternal vigilance and knowledge, which reaches every direction of Creation. They are also often presented with peacock feathers bearing a host of eyes, again in reference to their all-seeing omniscience.
Thrones: This group of Angelic Princes are often called "Wheels." It is said that they were the actual wheels of the Lord's Heavenly chariot. "The four wheels had rims and they had spokes, and their rims were full of eyes round about." They are also frequently referred to as "many-eyed ones."
----------------------------------
2nd Hierarchy
----------------------------------
Dominations: By custom Dominations are believed to wear green and gold, and their symbols are the sword and scepter. This denotes their lordship over all created things. In turn, the dominations receive their instructions from the cherubim or thrones.
Virtues: not a clue..
Powers: Powers' colors are green and gold, and their symbol is a flaming sword. ( Satan used to be in their choir. They were the defenders of heaven against demons. )
----------------------------------
3rd Hierarchy
----------------------------------
Principalities: The symbols of principalities are the scepter, the cross, and the sword.
Archangels: "But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, disputed about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a reviling judgment upon him, but said, 'The Lord rebuke you.'"... i don't know much about them... they sound awesome though!
Angels: human figure with a halo and wings... "guardian spirits"

Not sure what you mean by Atlas.
But i'm very intersted in mythology and religion. I saved a bunch of info into .txt's so i wouldn't have to search for it again. I think you guys should do it aswell. I have the_bible.zip broken down into .html files of every chapter :)

Davi, Skello means ATLAS, the god that holds up the earth.
...
Thanks for supplying the crew all this info. It will be fun to see where they go with it. Here's a little on Thor (sorry, DAvi for screwing with your post).
Thor: "Thunder," son of Odin and Earth. The most beloved god of the Viking Age, perhaps seen as the chief god at that time, and often known now as "god of the common man," Thor is best-known for his ceaseless battle against the giants. He is not a bloody-minded reaver, however, but a warder who protects the folk of Midgard and Asgard against the menacing beings who would destroy the world; unlike Odin, he never involves himself in the battles of men, but the gods often seem to rely wholly on his protection. He is the only god that Loki seems to respect.
Although Thor is sometimes shown as being slow-witted in comparison with Odin or Loki, he is a practical god whose solutions to problems are usually swift, effective, and show the common sense the other two sometimes lack. He is also called the "Deep-Thinker," and in one Eddic poem, outwits the clever dwarf Alviss ("All-Wise") by engaging him in a riddle contest until dawn turns the dwarf to stone.
Thor's weapon is the Hammer Mjöllnir, images of which are worn by true folk today as a sign of troth, as was also done towards the end of the Viking Age when Red Thor was called on to battle the White Christ. As well as fighting giants, Thor also uses his Hammer for hallowing both brides and funeral pyres, and several runic inscriptions from late Viking Age Denmark call on him to hallow the runes.
Thor was worshipped most by the free farmers (who were also warriors at need) and by those who "trusted in their own might and main". Today, he is also seen as the warder of his mother Earth against those who would harm her for their own gain. He is able to raise great rages in himself, in which he summons up more strength than any being in the worlds can match.
Thor appears as a big, muscular man with red hair and beard and huge fiery eyes. He drives a wagon which is drawn by two goats, Tanngrísnir (Teeth-Barer or Teeth-Gnasher) and Tanngnjóstr (Tooth-Gritter). When he travels to Jotunheim, Loki often goes with him; Thor is the only god that Loki really seems to respect. He is married to Sif, and had a daughter named Thrud (Strength) by her; he also has a giantess-concubine, who bore him his sons, Modi (Courage) and Magni (Main-strength). It is said that "Thor will help you if your prayer is sincere".
Old Norse Þórr, Anglo-Saxon Thunar (from which "Thursday"), Old German Thonar, Modern German/Wagnerian Donner, Proto-Germanic *Þunraz.

Thanx Teyon, and Slavic version of Thor is Perun... just addin some info :)
if someone needs info bout Titans check with me...
oh yeah also in some place i found some info that some norse gods have two variants. i dont remember about most only about Odin, the bad variant of Odin is Odin The Betrayer of Warrios (in this case he pictured with his spearpoint down) , he betrayes great warriors in battle so they would come to Valhalla sooner.

Very nice piece of info !!
By the way, I've always been really interested by similarities you can find between different religions .
For exemple, Lucifer (luci fero : I bring the lights) and Prometheus are really similars : they gave fire/light/science to humans after stealing it from God(s), and are punished for that proof of love for humans in sharing their destiny (suffering) .
Pushing a bit farther the comparison, the snake which gave the apple to Adam has about exactly the same "story" .
Is someone knows the original religion from which all the others come from ?
By the way, I'd like to have your Satan's story... so here's my mail : anthony.champagne@club-internet.fr
Thanks a lot Davi !

Titans ARE gods. The elder gods. Which beat up by Olympians. Cronus was the top titan which was killed by zeus(i might be wrong but i know zeus took over). And they were all sent to Tartarus, which is below hell. You can read about that in "The Iliad"
Gaea:
The Earth goddess. She mated with her son Uranus to produce the remaining Titans. Gaea seems to have started as a neolithic earth-mother worshipped before the Indo-European invasion that eventually lead to the Hellenistic civilization
Uranus:
The sky god and first ruler. He is the son of Gaea , who created him without help. He then became the husband of Gaea and together they had many offspring, including twelve of the Titans.
Cronus:
The ruling Titan who came to power by castrating his Father Uranus. His wife was Rhea. There offspring were the first of the Olympians. To insure his safety Cronus ate each of the children as they were born. This worked until Rhea, unhappy at the loss of her children, tricked Cronus into swallowing a rock, instead of Zeus. When he grew up Zeus would revolt against Cronus and the other Titans, defeat them, and banish them to Tartarus in the underworld.
Rhea:
The wife of Cronus. Cronus made it a practice to swallow their children. To avoid this, Rhea tricked Cronus into swallowing a rock, saving her son Zeus. (damn...dirty rocks...)
Oceanus:
The unending stream of water encircling the world. Together with his wife Tethys produced the rivers and the three thousand ocean nymphs.
Tethys:
The wife of Oceanus. Together they produced the rivers and the three thousand ocean nymphs.
Mnemosyne:
The Titan of memory and the mother of Muses.
Themis:
The Titan of justice and order. She was the mother of the Fates and the Seasons.
Iapetus:
The father of Prometheus, Epimetheus, Menoetius, and Atlas by Clymene.
Coeus:
Titan of Intelligence. Father of Leto.
Crius:
An unknown titan.
Phoebe:
Titan of the Moon. Mother of Leto.
Thea:
An unknown titan.
Prometheus:
Prometheus was the wisest Titan. His name means "forethought" and he was able to foretell the future. He was the son of Iapetus . When Zeus revolted against Cronus Prometheus deserted the other Titans and fought on Zeus side.
By some accounts he and his brother Epimetheus were delegated by Zeus to create man. In all accounts, Prometheus is known as the protector and benefactor of man. He gave mankind a number of gifts including fire. He also tricked Zeus into allowing man to keep the best part of the animals sacrificed to the gods and to give the gods the worst parts.
For this Zeus punished Prometheus by having him chained to a rock with an eagle tearing at his liver. He was to be left there for all eternity or until he agreed to disclose to Zeus which of Zeus children would try to replace him. He was eventually rescued by Heracles without giving in to Zeus.
Epimetheus:
The stupid Titan, whose name means "afterthought". He was the son of Iapetus. In some accounts he is delegated, along with his brother Prometheus by Zeus to create mankind. He also accepted the gift of Pandora from Zeus, which lead to the introduction of evil into the world.
Atlas:
Atlas was the son of Iapetus and the Oceanid Clymene. Unlike his brothers Prometheus and Epimetheus, Atlas fought with the other Titans supporting Cronus against Zeus. Due to Cronus's advance age Atlas lead the Titan's in battle. As a result he was singled out by Zeus for a special punishment and made to hold up the world on his back. His name means "he who carries."
There are two stories about atlas... here is the other:
He enountered HERACLES, one of whose labours was to obtain the golden apples of the HESPIRIDES, female guardians of the fruit that mother earth, GAIA, presented to HERA at her marriage with ZEUS. Atlas offered to fetch them for heracles if the hero tookover his job of holding up the sky. When atlas returned with the apples he suggested that he should deliver them himself, as Heracles was doing so well. The hero pretended to agree and than asked if Atlas would take the world for a moment so that he could adjust the weight of his shoulder, so tricking atlas into resuming his lonely duty.
Metis:
The Titaness of the forth day and the planet Mercury. She presided over all wisdom and knowledge. She was seduced by Zeus and became pregnant with Athena. Zeus became concerned over prophecies that her second child would replace Zeus. To avoid this Zeus ate her. It is said that she is the source for Zeus wisdom and that she still advises Zeus from his belly.
It may seem odd for Metis to have been pregnant with Athena but, never mentioned as her mother. This is because the classic Greeks believed that children were generated solely from the fathers sperm. The women was thought to be nothing more than a vessel for the fetus to grow in. Since Metis was killed well before Athena's birth her role doesn't count.
Dione
According to Homer in the Iliad she is the mother of Aphrodite.
Gaea:
The Earth goddess. She mated with her son Uranus to produce the remaining Titans. Gaea seems to have started as a neolithic earth-mother worshipped before the Indo-European invasion that eventually lead to the Hellenistic civilization

Olympians
Zeus:
Zeus overthrew his Father Cronus. He then drew lots with his brothers Poseidon and Hades. Zeus won the draw and became the supreme ruler of the gods. He is lord of the sky, the rain god. His weapon is a thunderbolt which he hurls at those who displease him. He is married to Hera but, is famous for his many affairs. He is also known to punish those that lie or break oaths.
Poseidon:
The brother of Zeus. After the overthrow of their Father Cronus he drew lots with Zeus and Hades, another brother, for shares of the world. His prize was to become lord of the sea. He was widely worshiped by seamen. He married Amphitrite, a granddaughter of the Titan Oceanus.
At one point he desired Demeter. To put him off Demeter asked him to make the most beautiful animal that the world had ever seen. So to impress her Poseidon created the first horse. In some accounts his first attempts were unsuccessful and created a variety of other animals in his quest. By the time the horse was created his passion for Demeter had cooled.
His weapon is a trident, which can shake the earth, and shatter any object. He is second only to Zeus in power amongst the gods. He has a difficult quarrelsome personality. He was greedy. He had a series of disputes with other gods when he tried to take over their cities.
Hades:
The brother of Zeus. After the overthrow of their Father Cronus he drew lots with Zeus and Poseidon, another brother, for shares of the world. He had the worst draw and was made lord of the underworld, ruling over the dead. He is a greedy god who is greatly concerned with increasing his subjects. Those whose calling increase the number of dead are seen favorably. The Erinyes are welcomed guests. He is exceedingly disinclined to allow any of his subjects leave.
He is also the god of wealth, due to the precious metals mined from the earth. He has a helmet that makes him invisible. He rarely leaves the underworld. He is unpitying and terrible, but not capricious. His wife is Persephone whom Hades abducted. He is the King of the dead but, death itself is another god, Thanatos.
Hestia:
Zeus' sister. She is a virgin goddess. She does not have a distinct personality. She plays no part in myths. She is the Goddess of the Hearth, the symbol of the house around which a new born child is carried before it is received into the family. Each city had a public hearth sacred to Hestia, where the fire was never allowed to go out.
Hera:
Zeus' wife and sister. She was raised by the Titans Ocean and Tethys. She is the protector of marriage and takes special care of married women.
Hera's marriage was founded in strife with Zeus and continued in strife. Zeus courted her unsuccessfully. He then turned to trickery, changing himself into disheveled cuckoo. Hera feeling sorry for the bird held it to her breast to warm it. Zues then resumed his normal form and taking advantage of the surprise he gained, raped her. She then married him to cover her shame.
Once when Zeus was being particularly overbearing to the other gods, Hera convinced them to join in a revolt. Her part in the revolt was to drug Zeus, and in this she was successful. The gods then bound the sleeping Zeus to a couch taking care to tie many knots. This done they began to quarrel over the next step. Briareus overheard the arguments. Still full of gratitude to Zeus, Briareus slipped in and was able to quickly untie the many knots. Zeus sprang from the couch and grabbed up his thunderbolt. The gods fell to their knees begging and pleading for mercy. He seized Hera and hung her from the sky with gold chains. She wept in pain all night but, none of the others dared to interfere. Her weeping kept Zeus up and the next morning he agreed to release her if she would swear never to rebel again. She had little choice but, to agree. While she never again rebelled, she often intrigued against Zeus's plans and she was often able to outwit him.
Most stories concerning Hera have to do with her jealous revenge for Zeus's infidelities. Her sacred animals are the cow and the peacock. Her favorite city is Argos.
Ares
Ares is the son of Zeus and Hera. He was disliked by both parents. He is the god of war. He is considered murderous and bloodstained but, also a coward. When caught in an act of adultery with Aphrodite her husband Hephaestus is able publicly ridicule him. His bird is the vulture. His animal is the dog.
Athena:
The daughter of Zeus. She sprang full grown in armor from his forehead, thus has no mother. She is fierce and brave in battle but, only fights to protect the state and home from outside enemies. She is the goddess of the city, handicrafts, and agriculture. She invented the bridle, which permitted man to tame horses, the trumpet, the flute, the pot, the rake, the plow, the yoke, the ship, and the chariot. She is the embodiment of wisdom, reason, and purity. She was Zeus's favorite child and was allowed to use his weapons including his thunderbolt. Her favorite city is Athens. Her tree is the olive. The owl is her bird. She is a virgin goddess.
Apollo:
The son of Zeus and Leto. His twin sister is Artemis . He is the god of music, playing a golden lyre. The Archer, far shooting with a silver bow. The god of healing who taught man medicine. The god of light. The god of truth, who can not speak a lie.
One of Apollo's more important daily tasks is to harness his chariot with four horses an drive the Sun across the sky.
He is famous for his oracle at Delphi. People traveled to it from all over the Greek world to divine the future.
His tree was the laurel. The crow his bird. The dolphin his animal.
Hermes:
The son of Zeus and Maia. He is Zeus messenger. He is the fastest of the gods. He wears winged sandals, a winged hat, and carries a magic wand. He is the god of thieves and god of commerce. He is the guide for the dead to go to the underworld. He invented the lyre, the pipes, the musical scale, astronomy , weights and measures, boxing, gymnastics, and the care of olive trees.
Artemis:
The daughter of Zeus and Leto. Her twin brother is Apollo . She is the lady of the wild things. She is the huntsman of the gods. She is the protector of the young. Like Apollo she hunts with silver arrows. She became associated with the moon. She is a virgin goddess, and the goddess of chastity. She also presides over childbirth, which may seem odd for a virgin, but goes back to causing Leto no pain when she was born. She became associated with Hecate. The cypress is her tree. All wild animals are scared to her, especially the deer.
Hephaestus
The son of Zeus and Hera . Sometimes it is said that Hera alone produced him and that he has no father. He is the only god to be physically ugly. He is also lame. Accounts as to how he became lame vary. Some say that Hera, upset by having an ugly child, flung him from Mount Olympus into the sea, breaking his legs. Others that he took Hera's side in an argument with Zeus and Zeus flung him off Mount Olympus. He is the god of fire and the forge. He is the smith and armorer of the gods. He uses a volcano as his forge. He is the patron god of both smiths and weavers. He is kind and peace loving. His wife is Aphrodite. Sometimes his wife is identified as Aglaia.

His weapon is a trident, which can shake the earth, and shatter any object. He is second only to Zeus in power amongst the gods. He has a difficult quarrelsome personality. He was greedy. He had a series of disputes with other gods when he tried to take over their cities.
Hades:
The brother of Zeus. After the overthrow of their Father Cronus he drew lots with Zeus and Poseidon, another brother, for shares of the world. He had the worst draw and was made lord of the underworld, ruling over the dead. He is a greedy god who is greatly concerned with increasing his subjects. Those whose calling increase the number of dead are seen favorably. The Erinyes are welcomed guests. He is exceedingly disinclined to allow any of his subjects leave.
He is also the god of wealth, due to the precious metals mined from the earth. He has a helmet that makes him invisible. He rarely leaves the underworld. He is unpitying and terrible, but not capricious. His wife is Persephone whom Hades abducted. He is the King of the dead but, death itself is another god, Thanatos.
Hestia:
Zeus' sister. She is a virgin goddess. She does not have a distinct personality. She plays no part in myths. She is the Goddess of the Hearth, the symbol of the house around which a new born child is carried before it is received into the family. Each city had a public hearth sacred to Hestia, where the fire was never allowed to go out.
Hera:
Zeus' wife and sister. She was raised by the Titans Ocean and Tethys. She is the protector of marriage and takes special care of married women.
Hera's marriage was founded in strife with Zeus and continued in strife. Zeus courted her unsuccessfully. He then turned to trickery, changing himself into disheveled cuckoo. Hera feeling sorry for the bird held it to her breast to warm it. Zues then resumed his normal form and taking advantage of the surprise he gained, raped her. She then married him to cover her shame.
Once when Zeus was being particularly overbearing to the other gods, Hera convinced them to join in a revolt. Her part in the revolt was to drug Zeus, and in this she was successful. The gods then bound the sleeping Zeus to a couch taking care to tie many knots. This done they began to quarrel over the next step. Briareus overheard the arguments. Still full of gratitude to Zeus, Briareus slipped in and was able to quickly untie the many knots. Zeus sprang from the couch and grabbed up his thunderbolt. The gods fell to their knees begging and pleading for mercy. He seized Hera and hung her from the sky with gold chains. She wept in pain all night but, none of the others dared to interfere. Her weeping kept Zeus up and the next morning he agreed to release her if she would swear never to rebel again. She had little choice but, to agree. While she never again rebelled, she often intrigued against Zeus's plans and she was often able to outwit him.
Most stories concerning Hera have to do with her jealous revenge for Zeus's infidelities. Her sacred animals are the cow and the peacock. Her favorite city is Argos.
Ares
Ares is the son of Zeus and Hera. He was disliked by both parents. He is the god of war. He is considered murderous and bloodstained but, also a coward. When caught in an act of adultery with Aphrodite her husband Hephaestus is able publicly ridicule him. His bird is the vulture. His animal is the dog.
Athena:
The daughter of Zeus. She sprang full grown in armor from his forehead, thus has no mother. She is fierce and brave in battle but, only fights to protect the state and home from outside enemies. She is the goddess of the city, handicrafts, and agriculture. She invented the bridle, which permitted man to tame horses, the trumpet, the flute, the pot, the rake, the plow, the yoke, the ship, and the chariot. She is the embodiment of wisdom, reason, and purity. She was Zeus's favorite child and was allowed to use his weapons including his thunderbolt. Her favorite city is Athens. Her tree is the olive. The owl is her bird. She is a virgin goddess.
Apollo:
The son of Zeus and Leto. His twin sister is Artemis . He is the god of music, playing a golden lyre. The Archer, far shooting with a silver bow. The god of healing who taught man medicine. The god of light. The god of truth, who can not speak a lie.
One of Apollo's more important daily tasks is to harness his chariot with four horses an drive the Sun across the sky.
He is famous for his oracle at Delphi. People traveled to it from all over the Greek world to divine the future.
His tree was the laurel. The crow his bird. The dolphin his animal.
Hermes:
The son of Zeus and Maia. He is Zeus messenger. He is the fastest of the gods. He wears winged sandals, a winged hat, and carries a magic wand. He is the god of thieves and god of commerce. He is the guide for the dead to go to the underworld. He invented the lyre, the pipes, the musical scale, astronomy , weights and measures, boxing, gymnastics, and the care of olive trees.
Artemis:
The daughter of Zeus and Leto. Her twin brother is Apollo . She is the lady of the wild things. She is the huntsman of the gods. She is the protector of the young. Like Apollo she hunts with silver arrows. She became associated with the moon. She is a virgin goddess, and the goddess of chastity. She also presides over childbirth, which may seem odd for a virgin, but goes back to causing Leto no pain when she was born. She became associated with Hecate. The cypress is her tree. All wild animals are scared to her, especially the deer.
Hephaestus
The son of Zeus and Hera . Sometimes it is said that Hera alone produced him and that he has no father. He is the only god to be physically ugly. He is also lame. Accounts as to how he became lame vary. Some say that Hera, upset by having an ugly child, flung him from Mount Olympus into the sea, breaking his legs. Others that he took Hera's side in an argument with Zeus and Zeus flung him off Mount Olympus. He is the god of fire and the forge. He is the smith and armorer of the gods. He uses a volcano as his forge. He is the patron god of both smiths and weavers. He is kind and peace loving. His wife is Aphrodite. Sometimes his wife is identified as Aglaia.

Asclepius:
A god of healing. His symbol is a snake. His parents were Apollo and Coronis. His birth was accompanied by scandal. While carrying him Coronis slept with Ischys. This was considered an insult. The act was reported to Apollo by a crow. Apollo turned all crows, until then white, to black to mark that they were untrustworthy. Apollo then felt compelled to slay Coronis with his arrows. He rescued Asclepius from her funeral pyre.
Asclepius was raised by Chiron. Chiron taught him healing which he went on to perfect. Athena gave him two vials of Gorgon's blood. Blood from the right side of the Gorgon revived life. Blood from the left killed. Asclepius started using the blood to raise dead mortals. For this overstepping of bounds Zeus killed him with a thunderbolt.
Apollo could not take revenge on Zeus himself. So he killed the Cyclopes that forged the thunderbolt.
Demeter:
Demeter is the goddess of corn, grain, and the harvest. She is the daughter of Cronus and Rhea. It is Demeter that makes the crops grow each year. The first loaf of bread from the harvest is sacrificed to her.
Demeter is intimately associated with the seasons. Her daughter Persephone was abducted by Hades to be his wife in the underworld. In her anger at her daughter's loss Demeter laid a curse on the world that caused plants to wither and die, the land became desolate. Zeus became alarmed and sought Persephone's return. However, because she had eaten while in the underworld Hades had a claim on her. Therefore, it was decreed that Persephone would spend four months each year in the underworld. During these months Demeter grieves her daughters absence, and withdraws her gifts from the world, creating winter. Her return brought the spring.
Demeter is also known for founding the Eleusinian Mysteries. These were huge festivals held every five years. They were important events for many centuries. Yet, little is known of them as those attending were sworn to secrecy. The central tenant seems to have been that just as grain returns every spring after its harvest and wintery death, so too the human soul could be reborn after the death of the body.
Persephone:
Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. After her abduction by Hades she became his wife and Queen of the underworld.
Dionysus:
Dionysus is the god of the vine. He invented wine and spread the art of tending grapes. He has a dual nature. On the one hand bringing joy and divine ecstasy. On the other brutal, unthinking, rage. Thus reflecting both sides of wines nature. If he chooses Dionysus can drive a man mad. No normal fetters can hold him or his followers.
Dionysus is the son of Zeus and Semele. He is the only god to have a mortal parent. Zeus came to Semele in the night, invisible, felt only as a divine presence. Semele was pleased to be a lover of a god, even though she did not know which one. Word soon got around and Hera quickly assumed who was responsible. Hera went to Semele in disguise and convinced her she should see her lover as he really was. When Zeus next came to her she made him promise to grant her one wish. She went so far as to make him swear on the River Styx that he would grant her request. Zeus was madly in love and agreed. She then asked him to show her his true form. Zeus, was unhappy, and knew what would happen but, having sworn he had no choice. He appeared in his true form and Semele was instantly burnt to a crisp by the sight of his glory. Zeus did manage to rescue Dionysus and stitched him into his thigh to hold him until he was ready to be born. His birth from Zeus alone conferred immortality upon him.
Dionysus problems with Hera were not yet over. She was still jealous and arranged for the Titans to kill him. The Titans ripped him into to pieces. However, Rhea brought him back to life. After this Zeus arranged for his protection and turned him over the mountain nymphs to be raised.
Dionysus wandered the world actively encouraging his cult. He was accompanied by the Maenads, wild women, flush with wine, shoulders draped with a fawn skin, carrying rods tipped with pine cones. While other gods had temples the followers of Dionysus worshipped him in the woods. Here they might go into mad states where they would rip apart and eat raw any animal they came upon.
Dionysus is also one of the very few that was able to bring a dead person out of the underworld. Even though he had never seen Semele he was concerned for her. Eventually he journeyed into the underworld to find her. He faced down Thanatos and brought her back to Mount Olympus.
Dionysus became one of the most important gods in everyday life. He became associated with several key concepts. One was rebirth after death. Here his dismemberment by the Titans and return to life is symbolically echoed in tending vines, where the vines must be pruned back sharply, and then become dormant in winter for them to bear fruit. The other is the idea that under the influence of wine, one could feel possessed by a greater power. Unlike the other gods Dionysus was not only outside his believers but, also within them. At these times a man might be greater then himself and do works he otherwise could not.
The festival for Dionysus is in the spring when the leaves begin to reappear on the vine. It became one of the most important events of the year. It's focus became the theater. Most of the great Greek plays were initially written to be performed at the feast of Dionysus. All who took part writers, actors, spectators were regarded as scared servants of Dionysus during the festival.
Eros:
Eros is the son of Aphrodite. Eros is the god of love. In particular erotic, romantic, love. He is often represented blindfolded because, love is often blind. His "weapon" is darts or arrows.

Thanatos:
Thanatos was the Greek god of death. He may be thought of as a personification of death. He plays little role in the myths. He became rather overshadowed by Hades the lord of the underworld.
Pan:
The son of Hermes. He is the god of goatherds and shepherds. He is mostly human in appearance but, with goat horns and goat feet. He is an excellent musician and plays the pipes. He is merry and playful frequently seen dancing with woodland nymphs. He is at home in any wild place but, is favorite is Arcady, where he was born. He is always in pursuit of one of the nymphs but, always rejected because he is ugly.
His name is the basis for the word "panic". There are two differing explanations for this. The first is that he was present when Zeus defeated the Titans and claimed that it has his yelling that caused the Titans to flee. However, this seems at odds with his being Hermes son. The second is that he created the noises in the woods at night the scared travelers.

Clotho, the spinner, who spins the thread of life. Lachesis, the measurer, who chooses the lot in life one will have and measures off how long it is to be. Atropos, she who can not be turn, who at death with her shears cuts the tread of life.
The Fates are old and predate the gods. It is not entirely clear how far their power extends. It is possible that they determine the fate of the gods as well. In any case, not even the most powerful is willing to trifle with them.

Helius:
Helius was the Greek sun god. He may be thought of as a personification of the sun. He became rather overshadowed by Apollo the lord of the sun. He was the son of Hyperion, who was also a sun god.
His role was to drive his chariot across the sky to provide daylight. He is accompanied in this daily trip by his sister Eos who heralds his arrival. He returns home at night on the river Oceanus in an enormous golden cup to hide the light. During his daily trip he sees much of what is happening on the earth. Due to his availability as a witness many Greeks swore their oaths in his name. It was on one of his daily trips that he spotted the abduction of Persephone.
Helius was away on his daily rounds when the gods divided up the world. Having otherwise completed this complex task, Zeus was reluctant to reopen the issue. This was resolved when Helius spotted the unassigned island of Rhodes and asked for it. The other gods were happy to give it to him. Helius remained the patron god of Rhodes throughout the classic period. Helius is the figure represented in the famous Colossus of Rhodes statue, that was considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
Helius married Perse and had a number of children, most of whom had rather unsavory reputations. While Helius did not seem to have these bad traits he remained loyal to all of his children. A number of the children accompanied him from time to time on his chariot.
Helius also had quite a number of mistresses and affairs which produced children as well. The best known being Phaethon .
The most tragically poetic of these affairs began when during his daily tour he noticed Aphrodite and Ares carrying on. As was his habit in these matters he reported it to her husband Hephaestus . To retaliate Aphrodite used her abilities to cause Helius to fall in love with Leucothoe a Persian princess. Helius assumed the form of the girls mother to gain access to her bedroom. Once inside he assumed his normal form and seduced her. Word of this got to one on Helius mistresses, the nymph Clytie. Clytie informed the girls father who then buried Loucothoe alive, killing her. In his grief, Helius changed her body into the first frankincense. This put Clytie on the outs with Helius. She then wasted away. On her death she became the first heliotrope, a flower whose blossom follows the sun across the sky.
Selene:
The goddess of the moon. She bore Zues a daughter - Pandia and allowed herself to be seduced by Pan for a good piece of fleece. Her great love was Endymion and handsome king of Elis. She bore him 50 daughters. Still love struck she offered to grant him a wish. He asked to sleep forever without aging, thus retaining his good looks for all time.
Eos:
Goddess of the dawn. She rode on Helius chariot each day. Her first mate was Astraeus. Their offspring was Boreas (the North Wind), Notus (the South Wind), Zephyrus (the West Wind), and Eosphorus (the Morning Star).
She became a rather randy goddess with the bad habit of carrying off handsome young mortals to be her lovers. This may have been the result of a curse by Aphrodite who was angry with Eos for having an affair with her lover Ares. These included: Orion, Cleitus, Cephalus, and Tithonus.
Cephalus, a happily married man who was allowed to return to his wife only after he fathered Phaethon (not to be confused with Helius's son by the same name).
Tithonus was of royal Trojan blood. Their two sons were Emathion and Memnon. Tithonus came to an unfortunate end. Eos was so happy with him that she asked Zeus to make him an immortal. This Zeus granted. Unfortunately, she forgot to ask that he be made ageless as well. As a result he eventually ended up as a horribly shriveled, paralyzed, babbling old man. Eos finally changed him into the first cicada to put him out of his (and her) misery.

Thanks again, Davi. Lotsa guessing about you going on here, so I'll add to the mix:
You're also the same Davi from the Conceptual Design Forum, yes? If so, I have a Warcraft Troll with your name on it...just never got to finish the sketch.
Anyway, thanks for the new info, I have a feeling most folks are going for the Norse or Greek Gods, so I know it's welcome info.

Actually the battle thing in the end of wich Atlas becomes a holder of the sky goes differently, Atlas lives with his family on his personal mountain and doesnt care what happening outside, but Zeus wants his doughters, the Pleyads so he sends Orion after them, the pleyads run away from orion to the sky but he keep chasing them and then they all become stars, Atlas enraged by actions of Zeus (and probably becouse of the suffering titans in Tartar, or becouse of the half-god heroes that kill titans who live in their primal form (aka monsters), so he call for all the titans that still free (Olympic rule is already stable, all the rebellious titans are in Tartar) and goes to fight Zeus, after a mighty battle the titans loose, all of them dies, but Atlas escapes to the end of the world where he lied down heavily wounded and lacking the wish to live. Then comes Hermes (was just born from Zeus and on of the Pleyads) and tricks Atlas to rise and bring up the sky, the moment he does it he becomes stone.
also Titans are no gods they are primal forces
