file:///C:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ksohtml/wps_clip_image-30997.pngThe Spiderman comic books follow the adventure of a young man named Peter Parker.

Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses
file:///C:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ksohtml/wps_clip_image-10884.png
Religion(宗教信仰) was very important to the ancient Greeks. In their opinion, it would make their lives better and also the gods and goddesses would take care of them after they died.
The Greeks believed in many different gods and goddesses. These gods and goddesses controlled everything in their lives and the environment. It was important to make them happy––happy gods and goddesses helped you, but unhappy ones punished you.
Zeus is the ruler(统治者) of the Greek gods. Zeus is lord of the sky, and the god of rain. Zeus is married to Hera. She is the goddess of marriage and childbirth. Poseidon is the brother of Zeus. He is the god of the sea. Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty. Aphrodite rises from the waves of the sea. She makes everyone feel love.
There are also gods and goddesses of the home, of war, of music, of the city and of fire. The Greeks held many festivals to show respect to them. They built temples to be the gods and goddesses’ homes. People prayed(祈祷) and gave gifts to the gods and goddesses to make their wishes come true––for a good harvest, or for a good journey, or for their children to become beautiful.
