Zeus has fathered a whole lot of other Greek gods and demigods, from the stunningly beautiful Aphrodite to the warhawk Ares. Many of the Pantheon’s denizens claim some sort of familial relation to the God of Thunder, due to his penchant for consorting with other gods and even humans. His children include Apollo, Artemis, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Hermes, Persephone and Perseus. Heracles, one of Greece’s greatest mythological heroes, was also Zeus’ son with the mortal Alcmene.
Hermes is among the more nebulous of the Greek gods, due to his role as the messenger or herald of Mount Olympus. As he is constantly travelling around the realms to deliver messages from the other gods, he is considered the patron god of emissaries, thieves, and merchants, which are all people who travel a lot as part of their profession. He is the Greek god of trading, fortune, wealth, language, and, of course, travel.
As the god of the underworld, Hades is typically seen in a bad light. However, in Greek mythology, Hades is seen more positively, as the shepherd of all the souls of the deceased and the keeper of peace and balance between the realms of the living and the dead. Hades certainly has his darker moments, such as when he kidnapped Persephone to become his wide, but for the ruler of the afterlife, Hades rules fairly and benevolently.
