[Picspam] Δωδεκάθεον ~ Dodekatheon

May 21, 2010 01:35

Okay, this idea was haunting me since I saw the picspammy 'Second Chance' challenge, even if I was planning to do this Greek Mythology recasting with people from all over the Serie A football championship (along with wives, girlfriends and staff members). But I managed to find enough people for the Twelve Olympians, so... enjoy. ^^
Warning: a couple of shirtless people. Aphrodite doesn't want to walk around with too much silk on her body, and Ares fights better with no armor on his chest.

This is my birthday present for emo_globina. Happy birthday, Claudia! ~♥






Zeus was the king of the gods, the god of sky and weather, law, order and fate. He is armed with thunder and lightning, and the shaking of his aegis produces storm and tempest.



Hera was the Olympian queen of the gods and the goddess of women and marriage. She was also a goddess of the sky and starry heavens.



Poseidon was the great Olympian god of the sea, rivers, flood and drought, earthquakes, and horses. He is described as gathering clouds and calling forth storms, but at the same he has it in his power to grant a successful voyage.



Demeter was the great Olympian goddess of agriculture, grain, and bread, the prime sustenance of mankind. She accordingly was looked upon also as the goddess of marriage and fertility.



Aphrodite was the great Olympian goddess of beauty, love, pleasure and procreation. She was the personification of the generative powers of nature, and the mother of all living beings.



Ares was the great Olympian god of war, battlelust, civil order and manly courage. He is the personification of bold force and strength.



Apollon was the great Olympian god of prophecy and oracles, healing, plague and disease, music, song and poetry, archery, and the protection of the young.



Artemis was the great Olympian goddess of hunting, wilderness and wild animals. She was also a goddess of childbirth, and the protectress of the girl child up to the age of marriage.



Hermes was the great Olympian God of animal husbandry, speed, roads, travel, hospitality, heralds, diplomacy, trade, thievery, language, writing, persuasion, cunning wiles, athletic contests, gymnasiums, astronomy, and astrology.



Athena was the great Olympian goddess of wise counsel, war, the defence of towns, heroic endeavour, weaving, pottery and other crafts.



Hephaistios was the great Olympian god of fire, metalworking, stonemasonry and the art of sculpture. He lacked in beauty, but he was believed to have taught men the arts which embellish and adorn life.



Dionysus was the great Olympian god of wine, vegetation, pleasure and festivity. He appears in all traditions as the representative of some power of nature.
