I love how they equate Ares with forces of evil and Aphrodite with forces of good. Aphrodite was one of the most petty of all the gods and goddesses, personifying vanity, jealousy, and selfishness. But because she was pretty, she gets a pass. Hestia, the eldest and one of the kindest, gentlest, most compassionate of all the gods and goddesses, barely gets a mention. This still speaks directly to the human condition, no matter how "enlightened" we think we've become.

When I was in middle school, we were studying Greek gods and I always found these stories, very weird. So I made my own interpretation in which: Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Hestia, Hera and Demeter really existed once. They were the children of a rich couple in Ancient Greece but one day, the father (here, Cronos) started to be afraid of the future because he was losing money and he was afraid to see his family become poor in the future.
So, to be sure that none of them would become poor, he went to kill all his children. His wife and their youngest son: Zeus, survived because the wife hide with the baby outside of the house. But she wasnât able to save her other children who were slaughtered by their father. Then, Cronos went to find his wife (RhĂŠa) and Zeus to kill them too.
Since she didnât want to lose another child, RhĂŠa took a stone and attacked Cronos with it. She hit him many times in the face with this rock without stopping, she was in rage for what he had done to her children. She hit him around 28 times until Cronos stopped breathing.
He was dead.
Afraid to be punished for her crime, she ran away with Zeus and went to live with a shepherd who raised Zeus as his own son.
But Rhea was still grieving from her loss. So she imagined a world where her children survived, where they were gods and goddesses who would change the fate of the world.
She created the Greek Mythology
