Description
The gods of Olympus make themselves known with the gentle lap of waves against the shores and the crash of the thunder among the cloud-enshrouded peaks. The thick boar-infested woods and the sere, olive-covered hillsides hold evidence of their passing. Every aspect of nature echoes with their presence, and they've made a place for themselves inside the human heart, too. #### Greek Deities | Deity | Alignment | Suggested Domains | Symbol | |--------------------------------------------|-----------|------------------------|---------------------------------------| | Zeus, god of the sky, ruler of the gods | N | Tempest | Fist full of lightning bolts | | Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty | CG | Light | Sea shell | | Apollo, god of light, music, and healing | CG | Knowledge, Life, Light | Lyre | | Ares, god of war and strife | CE | War | Spear | | Artemis, goddess of hunting and childbirth | NG | Life, Nature | Bow and arrow on lunar disk | | Athena, goddess of wisdom and civilization | LG | Knowledge, War | Owl | | Demeter, goddess of agriculture | NG | Life | Mare's head | | Dionysus, god of mirth and wine | CN | Life | Thyrsus (staff tipped with pine cone) | | Hades, god of the underworld | LE | Death | Black ram | | Hecate, goddess of magic and the moon | CE | Knowledge, Trickery | Setting moon | | Hephaestus, god of smithing and craft | NG | Knowledge | Hammer and anvil | | Hera, goddess of marriage and intrigue | CN | Trickery | Fan of peacock feathers | | Hercules, god of strength and adventure | CG | Tempest, War | Lion's head | | Hermes, god of travel and commerce | CG | Trickery | Caduceus (winged staff and serpents) | | Hestia, goddess of home and family | NG | Life | Hearth | | Nike, goddess of victory | LN | War | Winged woman | | Pan, god of nature | CN | Nature | Syrinx (pan pipes) | | Poseidon, god of the sea and earthquakes | CN | Tempest | Trident | | Tyche, goddess of good fortune | N | Trickery | Red pentagram |
