Are you a Fan of the Greek Gods?
I am a huge fan of the Greek Gods. I think Greek Mythology is a fascinating subject! It is so interesting to learn how the ancient Greeks formulated all the answers to all of Nature mysteries and wonders by their beliefs in the Greek Gods!
Here I gathered a few of the most interesting Greek Gods statues
These are beautiful pieces and I think having real Greek God statues around the house plus a good book, is a great way to teach your children or grandchildren about the mighty Greek Gods!
I hope you enjoy my selection!
Have fun!
Greek Mythology
Greek Myths, how it all started...
Back in ancient Greece, Greek people believed in several Gods. They usually had a God for almost everything in Nature. Their Gods looked almost exactly like regular mortals, except they could not die and were taller and more beautiful.
They lived on top of the highest mountain that ever existed, called Olympus and they ruled from there. Sometimes they would descend to Earth and interact with the humans, but often disguised as animals or other shapes.
Here are some of their statues, so you can have an idea of what they looked like.....

- Great selection of Greek gods statues.
I personally prefer the art of the archaic period, a few centuries older than these: the Kouroi, the Kores, stuff like that. Nevertheless, I did enjoy the presentation.
