Ancient Greek Mythology
By Kody Linder, and Zack Walter
Gods of Ancient Greek
The 10 gods of Ancient Greek are Cronos, Ares, Hades, Zeus, Poseeidom, Athena, Prometheus, Apollo, Hermes, and Hephaestus.
Zeus
Following the advent of age of Olympian gods, Hades became the ruler of underworld – a place where only the dead could delve in (though there were quite a few exceptions to that). Naturally, ruling over such a gloomy and rather demented realm seldom makes a charming impression – making him lesser prominent in the Greek mythology. But many Greeks believed him to be the personification of death itself (which he was not) and paid him regular homage raised by their own superstition.

Poseidon
When Zeus and his brothers drew straws to decide who gets to be the lord of which realm, Poseidon drew the realm of seas. Thus he became the ruler of seas and, along with his wife Amphitrite, led a group of lesser gods that included the Triton and Nereid. Being the lord of seas, he was widely worshiped and followed by seamen and voyagers alike.
