...In the beginning, Hesiod says, there was Chaos, vast and dark. Then appeared Gaea, the dep-breasted earth, and finally Eros, ' the love which softens hearts ', whose fructifying influence would thenceforth preside over the formation of beings an things. From Chaos were born Erebus and Night who, uniting, gave birth in their turn to Ether and Hemera, the day.

According to the Theogony of Hesiod, Chaos generated the solid mass of Earth, from which arose the starry, cloud-filled Heaven. Mother Earth and Father Heaven, personified respectively as Gaea and her offspring Uranus, were the parents of the Titans. In a later theory, Chaos is the formless matter from which the cosmos, or harmonious order, was created. Gaea She was the mother and wife of Father Heaven, Uranus. They were the parents of the first creatures, the Titans, the Cyclopes, and the Giants - the Hecatoncheires (Hundred - Headed Ones). Uranus hated the monsters, and, even though they were his children, locked them in a secret place in the earth. Gaea was enraged at this favoritism and persuaded their son Cronos to overthrow his father. He emasculated Uranus, and from his blood Gaea brought forth the Giants, and the three avenging goddesses the Erinyes. Her last and most terrifying offspring was Typhon, a 100-headed monster, who, although conquered by the god Zeus, was believed to spew forth the molten lava flows of Mount Etna.

Home Free Coloring Free Games Free Puzzles ... Ancient Egypt Ancient Greece Australia Canada Ireland Japan ... USA Greek Mythology Coloring Pages I struggled a bit making these pages... I wanted to balance how the Ancient Greeks portrayed the gods and goddesses in their artwork with modern considerations (like making sure everyone had their clothes on) to come up with pages children would enjoy coloring. Considerations when using these pages: In some cases, the Roman and Greek names for the gods/goddesses get mixed up in modern story telling. For example, Hercules is the Roman name for the half mortal/half god hero. Heracles or Herakles is the Greek name. In some cases there are different (often conflicting) versions of stories about the gods and goddesses. For example, regarding the birth of Aphrodite, one story indicates she was born from the sea foam (on the shell of a scallop). Another says she was the daughter of Zeus and Dione. The first makes for a more interesting/fun coloring page, so I used it. List of the Coloring Pages: (12 main greek gods) About Us Print Help Search

Romans believed him to be the god of the underworld. His name in Greece was Hades. How much would you weigh on Pluto? Because Pluto is so small you would be very light if you visited. If you weigh 70 pounds on Earth, you would only weigh 4 pounds on Pluto. The Planet: Pluto is smaller than 7 of the moons in the Solar System. Because it is so small many scientists don't consider it a planet at all. In 1999 a group of scientists attempted to redesignate Pluto as a comet. Pluto is the only planet that has never been visited by space craft. Because we have never sent probes to this planet we know very little about it. Moons: Pluto has one moon named Charon. Charon is only slightly smaller than it's parent planet Pluto. For this reason Pluto and Charon are often called double planets. The Earth and it's moon Luna are also considered double planets. To learn more about Charon Click Here Pluto is so far away, that no satellites have ever been sent there. This means that we have no good pictures of it. All we can do is guess what it must look like. The picture above was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. It is the most detailed picture we have.

90. Greek Mythology Welcome to Spiffy Entertainment s greek mythology section! From highatop Welcome to my greek mythology Section! Here s something I http://spiffyentertainment.8m.com/myth.html

Welcome to my Greek Mythology Section! Here's something I've been interested in for about 12-13 years (Though in the past year or so, I've kind of drifted away from it due to other commitments). Since around 6th grade, I've been reading and attempting to interpret the many works of Greek myth. The way the stories explain every aspect of life is nothing less than fascinating. I've read numerous works including: The Theogony and Works and Days by Hesiod, The Odyssey and Illiad by Homer, Oedipus Tyrannus and Antigone by Sophocles, works from Sappho of Lesbos, Aeschylus, Euripides, Aristophanes, and many other works and tales. The tales I have in this section are my interpretations of what I've read and learned of the mythology. There are plenty of other sites out there about Greek myth, but the one thing that separates this site from the rest is the simple fact that everything is written as simply as possible. Anyone at any age level should be able to easily understand, learn, and enjoy the tales presented. So sit back, relax, and gain a little mythological perspective as you click on through this section. If you have any questions pertaining to anything in this section or anything at all about Greek mythology, post your questions on my message board and I'll get back to you (through the message board) as soon as possible (normally within a day or two).

The Sun Mercury Venus Earth ... All Planets (For Printing) All Moons Neptune means: In astronomy mythology, Neptune was originally only the god of water, but was latter extended to the ocean when he became associated with the Greek god Poseidon. How much would you weigh on Neptune? If you weigh 70 pounds on the Earth you would weigh 84 pounds on Neptune. The Planet: Neptune has a giant storm much like the storm on Jupiter. This storm is often called The Great Dark Spot. We do not know how long this storm has been active, because it is so far away that we could not get a good view of Neptune until modern times when we began to send robot explorers. For many centuries people did not know that this planet even existed. It was discovered by Johann Galle and Heinrich D'Arrest in 1846. Neptune has six rings which circle the planet. Moons: Neptune has eight moons that we know of. Because Neptune is so far away, it is difficult to see any of these worlds. There are probably many more moons orbiting this blue planet which we have not yet discovered. Perhaps you will be the astronomer who discovers some of these worlds. The names of the known moons are: Caliban, Sycorax, Prospero, Setebos, Stephano, and 1986U10. To learn more about these worlds

The Sun Mercury Venus Earth ... All Planets (For Printing) All Moons Mercury means: In astronomy mythology, Mercury was the Roman version of the god Hermes. He was the messenger for the other gods, and for this reason Mercury is often depicted in pictures with winged sandals. In addition to delivering messages, he was also the protector of travelers, and merchants. How much would you weigh on Mercury? If you moved to Mercury you would not weigh as much as you do on Earth. Not because you would lose weight on the space ship, but because Mercury is smaller, and so has less gravity. If you weigh 70 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only about 27 pounds on Mercury. The Planet: Mercury is a world of extremes. Because it is so close to the Sun a visitor could easily cook to death. However because mercury spins so slowly it gets very cold in the night time, which means a visitor could also freeze to death. We are just starting to understand this world. It looks a lot like our moon, because it has craters and basins. Scientists used to think it acted like the Moon, but we are now learning that Mercury is in fact very different. In 2004 NASA plans to send a orbiting probe to the planet to learn more about it.
