Gods and Goddesses
Zeus, Ra, Hates, they all have one thing in common. They're all gods. Since the beginning of time, everyone worshiped a god or goddess in some similar way. The Greeks, for example, made up myths about their gods to pass along. Some religions have a god for each and every thing, like Ra, the god of the sun. Below is a list of Greek gods from long ago.
