ZEUS DID MANAGE TO RESCUE DIONY AND STICHED HIM INTO HIS THIGH TO HOLD HIM UNTIL HE WAS READY TO BE BORN. HIS BIRTH FROM ZEUS ALONE CONFFERED IMMORTALITY UPON HIM.
PAN IS THE SON OF ZEUS. HE IS THE GOD OF GOATHEADERS AND SHEPERD. HE IS MOSTLY HUMAN IN APPERIANCRE BUT, WITH GOAT HORNS AND GOAT FEET. HE IS AN EXCELLENT MUSICIAN AND PLAYS THE PIPES. HE IS MERRY AND PLAYFUL FREQUENLY SEEN DANCING WITH WOODLAND NYMPHS. HE IS AT HOME IN ANY WILD PLACE BUT, IS FAVORITE IS ARCADY, WHERE HE WAS BORN. HE IS ALWAYS IN PURSUIT OF ONE OF THE NYMPHS BUT, ALWAYS REJECTED BECAUSED HE IS UGLY. HIS NAME IS THE BASIS FOR THE WORD "PANIC". There are two differing explanations for this. The first is that he was present when Zeus defeated the Titans and claimed that it has his yelling that caused the Titans to flee. However, this seems at odds with his being Hermes son. The second is that he created the noises in the woods at night the scared travelers.
The FATEHAVE THE SUBTITLE BUT, AWESOME POWER OF DECINING A MANS dDESTINY. THE aASSIGN A MAN TO GOOD OR EVIL. THERE MOST OVBIOS CHOISE IS CHOOSING HOW LONG A MAN LIVES. THERE ARE THREE FATE. CLOTHO, THE SPINNER, WHO SPINS THE THREAT OF LIFE. LACHESSIS, THE MESUER, WHO CHOOSE THE LOT IN LIFE ONE WILL HAVE AND MESURE OFF how long it is to be. Atropos, she who can not be turn, who at death with her shears cuts the tread of life. The Fates are old and predate the gods. It is not entirely clear how far their power extends. It is possible that they determine the fate of the gods as well. In any case, not even the most powerful is willing to trifle with them.
ERICOL is the daughter of Zeus and Hera. She is the goddess of discord. In addition to her main activity of sowing discord, she frequently accompanies her brother Ares to battles. On these occasions she rides his chariot and brings her son Strife. Eris is unpopular and frequently snubbed as a guest by the other gods and mankind. This was not always a safe thing to do. The most dramatic example being the Trojan War, which was an indirect result of not inviting Eris to a wedding.
ERROL is the son of Aphrodite. Eros is the god of love. In particular erotic, romantic, love. He is often represented blindfolded because, love is often blind. His "weapon" is darts or arrows. In either case the tips have been magically treated to produce either uncontrollable love or insurmountable disinterested in the first person seen be Eros's victim after wounding.
