Myths have always existed to justify the human bein’s existence. Greek gods have existed and worshipped by millions of Greeks who whether asked for security, or thanked for the graces conquered. Actually gods had absolute power above humans. Netherless they admired so much their followers that sometimes they could even come to Earth to interact with them. Zeus was one of the most famous to seduce women who generated his descendants who used to be part humans and part gods. One good example was Perseus. In the middle of something, these “half divine, half human” beings have always been an inspiration to everyone of us who particularly have a keen on them and have the dream to be young, brave, handsome. The gods and human beings were so alike, whether in shapes of in personality, that it was confusing to identify who was who. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades were brothers and divided their possessions after the death of their father, Chronos. Zeus decided to inherit the skies, Poseidon the seas and Hades got the worst part; the underworld. These kingdons have been ruled by them since then, so sailors used to pray for Poseidon, the most graceful was Zeus and Hades was forgotten, but at the end, every mortal had to meet the underworld god after all.
