Notes on the deities ,

The Ancient Greece believed that many gods and goddesses ruled the universe

According to a myth , they lived on the top of Mt Olympus .Each of this 12 principal

gods had a unique personality that corresponded to the particular aspects of life such as life and death

Egyptian Mythology is based on a creation myth that tells on a egg that appeared

on the ocean , When that egg hatched , out came Ra , the sun god .

As a result , ancient Egyptians became worshipers of the sun and the

nine original deities , which were most of Ra's children and grandchildren

The Norse Mythology was originated in Scandinavia , in Northern Europe .

It was Complete with the gods and goddesses who lived in a heavenly place

called Asgard that could only be reached by a rainbow bridge .

While the Norse Mythology is lesser known , we use it everyday . Most days

were named after the Norse gods, including some of these major deities

Much of Roman Mythology was adopted from the Greek Mythology

but the Romans also developed many original mythology as well . The Roman

Mythology lived everywhere and each had a role to play . There were thousands of Roman

Gods.
