GreekGod: Prometheus
Prometheus didn't want to see his people suffer so he decided to steal fire. Even though he knows that Zeus would punish him. He went up to Olympus, took glowing ember from the sacred hearth, and hid it in a hollow stalk of fennel. He carried it down to earth, gave it to the mankind, and told them never to let the light from Olympus die out. Zeus was furious when he saw the fires on the earth and smelled the scent of roast meat. Prometheus invited Zeus to come down to earth and chose the best looking meat. He discovered that he had been tricked and got angry. Not only Prometheus stolen the fire and gave it to the men, he had also taught them to cheat the gods. Zeus punish both Prometheus and his creations. Prometheus was chained to the top of the caucasus mountain and every day an eagle eats out his liver. His imortal liver grew a new one but every day the eagle return and he had to suffer.
Goddess: Aphrodite
Aphrodite is the goddess of lover and was the only olympian who didn't have a mother nor a father. Nobody knew where she had came from. The west wind had first seen her in the pearly light of dawn as she rose out the sea. The three Graces, goddesses of beauty became her attendants. They dressed her and let her to Olympus, where all the gods rejoiced in her beauty. They seated heron a golden throne and made her one of them. Zeus was afraid that the gods would fight over the hand of Aphrodite, so he chose a husband for her. His name was Hephaesus, the steadiest of the gods. Aphrodite had a little son whose was Eros. Eros darted about with a bow and a quiver full of arrows. Once a year, Aphrodite would go bacl tp cythera and dive into the sea from which she had came. She was not pleased at being the wife of Hephaeus because he was a hard working person. She would rather have his brother Ares for her husband.
