The Greeks and Romans – Pantheons, Part 3: Crash Course World Mythology #9

This week, we continue our look at various Pantheons, and Mike digs deep into the gods of the ancient Greeks. We’re talking Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hades, Artemis, Hephaestos, Ares, and Apollo. We’re also talking about Jupiter, Juno, Neptune, Pluto, Diana, Vulcan, Mars, and…Apollo. Similar gods, different names. We’ll start with the origin stories of the gods, talk about their family relationships, and what exactly their specialties are.
