Introduction
Hi my
name is Devin Martin I studied Greek mythology. Ares has a huge
history he is also god of war. He is very experienced in
war. But he has lost about every war he has been in. Zeus
has an amazing history to. He is not as experienced in war.
But he is the god of weather and is a king. Hercules has a lot of
interesting stuff he did in his lifetime. But he is not a god or
a king.
History of Zeus
Many stories can be told
about Zeus. Zeus’s father Coronus found out one of his children
was going to kill him. So when his wife rhea gave birth Coronus
ate the babies. But when Zeus was born Rhea took Zeus ran to cave
and took off his clothes put rocks in his clothes posing as Zeus and
gave to Coronus to eat.
Zeus has many powers to be as strong
as a king. With Zeus’s amazing ability to control the weather he
could be unstoppable. Zeus can control rain, lightning, clouds,
and thunder. He is also the god of battle. This is why Zeus
is a king and a god.
Zeus has to have the look of a true god
and king. Zeus sits on his mighty throne every day. Of
course this mighty king gets to wear a crown too. Zeus holds a
thunderbolt as a gift from the Cyclopes race, for being such a great
king. In Zeus’s free hand he wields a spear. Zeus has pet
eagle at his feet. This is how Zeus is a true god and king.
History of Ares
Many
stories can be told about Ares. Ares is unfaithful in war.
His children get awfully sick when gets in war. Ares has fought
Troy and lost. Troy decided to spare his Ares fought Hercules and
lost. Hercules also chose to spare his life. This poor
fighter is a coward in Greek mythology.
Ares is also a god,
but no king he is not invincible like Zeus. He has gone to
war a lot and lost a lot. Ares is the god of war. This is why he
been to war a lot. Ares the true god of war. Ares wears a gold
helmet. The weapon Ares wields a giant spear. He rides
everywhere in his speedy chariot. This chariot is led by fire
breathing stallions. This is how Ares has the strength to kill
monsters.
History of Hercules
Many stories can be
told about Hercules. If Hercules were Apherandas son his name
would be Apotilipto. Hercules is known as a hero in Greek and
Roman mythology. Hercules has killed Ares son for feeding human
flesh to his horses. Hercules killed his wife and children
because he thinks everyone is trying to kill him so he attacks everyone
he sees because of this he has to work off this sin by working for his
cousin King Eurytheus. So Eurytheus gave him he twelve tasks of
doom and these tasks are supposed to be impossible to finish if he does
finishes altogether these tasks take 12 years to finish. Hercules is
not even a god. He has super human strength. He doesn’t have
super powers like Ares and Zeus. That is why he fights monsters.
Conclusion
In
the history of Zeus his father Coronus tried to eat him. In the
history of Ares he loses to troy and Hercules. In the history of
Hercules he has to do 12 tasks for his cousin because he killed his
family.
