Smaller Gods

 

Apart from the 12 gods of the Olympus, there were naturally many other smaller Gods. This does not mean at all that they were less venerated than their colleagues, but just that they lived half way to the top of the Olympus and some of them were the children from a deity and a mortal. But what is really interesting is that the cult to these smaller gods varied according to the lifestyle and the culture of the period.

In the following pages you will find the stories about some smaller Gods like Saturn, Asklepios, Eros and many more.
