The religion of ancient Greece comprises hundreds of deities and an equal number of heroines and heroes. The following profiles provide a good place to explore these captivating figures.
A great deal of research has gone into the creation of these profiles, several of which have been expanded into pamphlet- and book-length publications that are available on Amazon.com. This has been a labor of love stemming from my extensive reading on Greek prehistory, repeated visits to Greece and travels to photograph related artwork in museums across Europe.
