Greek gods and their myths have inhabited the human imagination and spirit for thousands of years. The Greek gods as portrayed in their stories represent the eternally masculine qualities that form the patterns of the lives of contemporary men.

The Greek gods and goddesses now known as the Olympians were the first of the ancient pagan deities to have distinctive personalities. Consequently, their Greek myths are fascinating and full of detail. Although they were deities, each had recognizable "human" qualities.
Just as each of the Greek myths is different, each of the gods is unique -- motivated by different values and priorities. Each of the gods has strikingly different characteristics, both positive traits and potentially problematic ones.

The Greek myths remain relevant in modern times. The spiritual journey for men inevitably involves a quest to claim and honor the archetypes that guide men's lives.

Besides being extremely informative, god-goddess is most pleasing on the eye! Decorative etc...
