A Journey Begins..

We've all heard about great names such as Zeus, Poseidon and Hermes, but what about the strong women that also play important parts such as Athena, Aphrodite and Hera? Ever since I was first introduced to Greek mythology in the fourth grade I have been fascinated with it. Even though only fiction, something about studying Greek Gods and mythology always kept me wanting to learn more. With every new character and story introduced to me, I consistently keep wanting to know what is going to happen next. To me, it is a fantasy world where everything is so different and suspenseful. Every story told there is always so much discussion about. Greek mythology has had such a huge impact on us as humans in so many ways, through literature, art, religion and even astrology. Although, as always women never got enough credit for their work. So, who were these women, and what did they do? What is their story? Well let me take you through this journey of every Olympian goddesses and by the end you will know their hardships, accomplishments and everything in between.
