Zeus is the leader of all gods, and the holder of the most potent of godly weapons, lightning. Despite being
the father of a large amount of deities, he's hardly a role model to them: most of his children were born to him and his numerous
mistresses, some of whom he seduced with his shapeshifting abilities. Zeus can hardly resist an attractive woman, be she a goddess
or a mere mortal, and his adulterous shenanigans frequently aggravate his wife Hera. Other gods still ask for his advice whenever
a dispute remains unsolved, as his position as a leader makes his point of view particularly important... even in the cases when it's
somewhat irrelevant.

Hera is Zeus' wife and his sister, and the goddess of marriage, motherhood, and (cuckolded) women. Due to her
husband's numerous extramarital relationships, she has become more agressive and less forgiving than she used to be. Seeing as she's
surrounded by her illegitimate children every single day, she can get a bit snappy with them as well; should she have been cheated on
with a mere mortal, she'll easily try to kill both the mistress and her child, or at least to bring them as close to total ruin as she
can. She's prone to keeping long grudges.

Demeter is the goddess of harvest and, as a whole, of Nature as harnessed by Man (as opposed to Artemis, goddess of
the wilderness). She makes crops grow, flowers bloom and trees bear fruit, has somewhat somewhat rural manners, and is polite... except
in some rare cases. What Demeter values the most is her daughter Persephone (whom she had with Zeus, but don't tell Hera); she'd rather
not think of what would happen if she was taken away from her.

Hephaestus, the god of fire, blacksmiths and various precious stuff you find underground (gold, gems...) was
post-natally aborted by his mother, Hera. By this, I mean they chucked him down Mt Olympus, for very shallow reasons: he was
a VERY ugly baby. After falling down for nine days (someone had cast Feather Fall on him or something), he hit every branch of the ugly
tree and hit the ground, making him lame for the rest of his life. However, he finally found his way back among the other Olympians by
showing the talent he had developed for blacksmithing. Hephaestus forged the lightning, Zeus' weapon of choice, and designed a trapped
chair to constrain his own mother until she'd get him married to the beautiful Aphrodite.

Ares, the god of war, murder, frenzy, bloodshed and general, mindless violence, is one of Zeus' few
legitimate sons. Unlike Athena, who covers strategic aspects of combat, Ares is more blind rage-oriented. The city that worships
him the most is obviously the brutal, military Sparta, where puppies are regularly sacrificed to him by night. Yes, Ares hates puppies.
Ares hates fluffy bunnies. Ares hates YOU. Ares hates everyone... except maybe for Aphrodite, and that's only because he has an affair
with her.
