Who is the Greek god of theater?
In the Greek mythology, Dyonisus, the God of wine and grape harvest, although not extrictly the God of theater, it was during the festivities dedicated to him that the dramatic representations took place, during the festivals called 'City Dionysia'.
Were all the Olympian gods Zeus' children?
No, but most of the Olympians were related to Zeus. Zeus's brothers and sisters were Hera (who was also his wife, although he has many others), Poseidon, Hades, Demeter, and Heista (she was the goddess of home and hearth, but she in not an Olympian). Athena, Hermes, Artemis, Apollo, Hephastus, and Dyonisus, were Zeus's children. Aphrodite is the only goddess that's an Olympian who was not related to Zeus. She was born from sea foam when Kronos killed his father, Uranus.
What was Hestia's realm?
The home and the hearth. She was the oldest first born but the youngest last spit out from chronos. She was originally one of the twelve Olympian gods but when dyonisus was born she gave up her tribe to him to avoid conflict. She is basically the warmth of home the one that keeps everything running smoothly in Olympus. She is also the goddess of sacrificial flames so any sacrifice to other gods she gets some of it because the fire is part of her realm. If all the gods were out she'd he the last one keeping the warmth of home ignited. She's like the kind mother figure that makes you feel at home
What are the main gods of Greece and rome?
There are technically three generations of the main pantheon, who always come in groups of twelve (the Ancient Greeks had a thing for numbers divisible by three). The third and most well-known generation is known as the Olympians. The names of the main twelve Olympians (first by Greek and then by Roman reckoning) are as follows: 1. Zeus (Jupiter) 2. Hera (Juno) 3. Poseidon (Neptune) 4. Demeter (Ceres) 5. Dyonisus (Bacchus) 6. Apollo (Apollo or Phoebus) 7. Artemis (Diana) 8. Hermes (Mercury) 9. Athena (Minerva) 10. Ares (Mars) 11. Aphrodite (Venus) 12. Hephaestus (Vulcan) Technically, Hades (known to the Romans as Pluto, or sometimes as Orcus or Dis pater) is a pretty major player in the way things are run, what with him running the underworld and all, yet he is not considered to be one of the 12 Olympians for 3 reasons: 1. He does not live on Olympus, he lives in the underworld 2. He was a homebody, which means that, as far as the Greek/Roman gods went, he was pretty boring. He didn't go around raping or seducing or killing people, so there weren't a lot of stories to tell about him (neither did Hephaestus, which is why people often forget about him as well, actually). 3. Considering him a major Olympian would mean that they would either have to ruin their lovely number divisible by three, or switch people around, which would mess things up.
