  1. Introduction:
    The god I am writing about is Diana the goddess of the night. Diana was not worshipped that often, she was only worshiped when a person had problems with bad dreams, not being able to sleep or if they need to stay awake in the night. Some animals worshipped her like wolfs and black cats.

    Appearance:
    She would were a flowing dark blue cape that would twinkle with glitter to represent the nightingale sky. On top of her beautiful golden hair she would wear a shimmering gold crest with golden leaves. She has blue eyes with silver stars in the middle. With a long blue silk dress and carrying a crystal bow with moons and crests hanging from it, she marched in Prussian blue boots across mountains and rivers spreading her magic over the world.

    Family:
    Diana had only one sibling who was Apollo, God of the sun. Diana was also one the gods that didn't have an husband. Mars and Venus are married and so are Jupiter and Juno. Diana hates Apollo even though Apollo likes her, she hates him because he is silly and tries to cheer her up but the only time when she smiles is when someone in the world worships her.

  6. Pluto god of death

    Romans were afraid to say Pluto's real name because they were afraid he might notice them and they would die.Pluto sometimes got confused with the Greek god, Pluto, the god of wealth. This is not surprising, since the names sound alike, and also wealth, like gold, silver or jewels, are found underground, where Pluto ruled.

  8. Maia- Goddess of Life
    Description
    Maia had long wavy golden brown hair that she wore in front of her face. She wore a long white dress and gold belt, collar and over the dress was a silk dress. Her shoes were normally sandals that went just above her ankles. Information
    Maia was the goddess of life so she controlled life. If she got angry with someone she would make something bad happen so to get told of or be angry with their friends or stuff like that. She could make people tall or short, clever or not very clever she could even decide what their parents called them and if their father picked them up. Lots of good things happened to people she respected for goodness and bad things happened to the ones she did not.
    Family
    Maia was lucky to be related to all other gods like every other god but her mother was Luna the goddess of Night and her father Neptune the god of the sea asked one of the other gods to put a lifelong charm on him and his family, the god did but it wore of so that’s how the are not our gods now.

  12. Pluto was the god of the Dead. Romans were afraid to say Pluto's real name because they were afraid he might notice them and they would die.

    Pluto sometimes got confused with the Greek god, Plutus, the god of wealth. This is not surprising, since the names sound alike, and also wealth, like gold, silver or jewels, are found underground, where Pluto ruled.

    The metal Plutonium is radio-active. It was discovered soon after the planet Pluto. It is not only used for nuclear bombs, it is deadly by itself. It deserves to belong to the god of Death!

  18. Jupiter-King of all Gods

    Jupiter was also called Jove. He was the god of the sky and lightning. He ruled the heavens and also the weather, especially the thunder and lightning. According to ancient Roman myth, Jupiter was the king of all the gods.

    Jupiter is son of Saturn and his brothers are Neptune and Juno. He also had three sisters. When Saturn, their father, died, the boys - Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto - divided the world up between themselves. Jupiter took all of the heavens, Neptune took the sea, and Pluto took the underworld. Each was quite content with their selection.

    He is especially concerned with oaths, treaties, and leagues, and it was in the presence of his priest that the most ancient and sacred form of marriage.

  21. Jupiter is the same as Zeus in the Romans and most Romans believe that when Jupiter’s dad passed away the universe was carved into three portions. Each portion had a ruler. Neptune took the sea, Jupiter the sky and Pluto took the under-world provinces that were left over. Jupiter had another name which was Jove.
    FAMILY
    His wife was called Juno and his mother’s name was Ops. He also had a sister called Vesta and his children were Mars god of war, Juventus the god’s cupbearer, Vulcan the god of fire and mostly blacksmiths pray to him.
    HOW JUPITER LOOKS.
    He holds aegis the mighty shield and his symbols are the oak tree, the eagle, a thunderbolt and the bull. He travels on the golden chariot through the heavens throwing thunderbolts on earth at people who disobey him. If he is not travelling he sits on the throne answering messages from commoners.

    THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
