Answer 2

Answer:

I just wanted to say the Percy Jackson series are great for Greek mythology :)

Greek Gods and Goddesses had either very sour personalities or were very motherly or tender. They all shared one quality in which they are all beautiful humanoids with great power and when angry, they are very angry. They can all "morph" and shape shift and all have something they are in charge of such as Zeus - Lord of the Cosmos and lightning and sky, Aphrodite - Beauty and love, Hermes - Literature and thieves, Hera - Queen of the cosmos, motherhood and marriage etc
