Hestia
Eros
Hestia, the goddess of the hearth
and home,
She tends a fire in sacred Rome.
On Mt. Olympus she ruled another
fire,
And it got higher and higher.
Eros is the god of love,
Eros plays in the above.
Watch out for Cupid’s arrow,
Or else you’ll become a love-sick
sparrow.
Poseidon
by Kr istina & Kelse y
Zeus
There is a god called Poseidon,
He wields a mighty triton.
I bet he was full of glee,
When he became god of the sea.
A god we had to choose,
So we chose the mighty Zeus.
He was powerful and mighty,
And he kept the world tidy.
When he was young, he lived in his
father’s belly,
I bet it was pretty smelly.
To the people he gave,
A horse made from a wave.
He’s skilled with the ladies,
Unlike his brother Hades.
Hades has a dog with three heads,
I wonder how much it sheds.
They call him the thunder,
And that’s no blunder.
He can create an earthquake,
Which would get people awake.
He put dirt into piles,
To create new isles.
Poseidon is so cool,
On his ocean pool.
Poseidon is a cool dude,
Don’t get him in a bad mood.
Poseidon makes giant waves,
Which could bring you to your grave.
Zeus has another brother called
Poseidon,
He carries a mighty trident.
Zeus carries thunderbolts,
Which he throws at dolts.
Zeus is full of might,
He’ll give you a fright.
Zeus is god of the sky,
Be careful or he’ll make you cry.
Zeus throws lightning,
He is pretty frightening.
Poseidon is a fierce guy,
And he has blue eyes.
Poseidon’s who we chose,
But now we need to close.
Zeus is so strong,
Yet he does no wrong.

Hermes
Hermes, swift and smooth,
With the ladies he knew when to make
his move.
Hermes was the winged messenger of
the gods,
When he’s seein’ the ladies he always
nods.
Protector of the traveler,
And watched over all the gatherers.
Sneaky and sly,
And knew how to fly.
Artemis
Athena
Athena, daughter of Zeus,
Never used much moose.
Athena, goddess of warfare,
Liked to make the wars fair.
Powerful Athena,
Skated in an arena.
Athena with sword and shield,
Was never told to yield.

Ares
Artemis is the god of the hunt,
She always learned a new stunt.
She had a twin brother,
They had the same mother.

He was a coward,
Because he never showered.
Artemis, the god of the hunt,

He sometimes swore.
He was bloodthirsty,
He had a girl named Kirsti.
Artemis, the god of the moon,
She liked hunting things like
coon.
Don’t sneak up on her in the
woods,
Ares, the god of war,
He did not work at a store.
He was cruel,
He needed a pool.
Or she will change you into her own
goods.
Ares, the god of war,
He was always sore.
He did not like his dad,
Artemis, the god of the moon,
She like her room.
She liked her brother, Apollo,
And he liked to follow.
His mother thought he was bad.
Ares, the god of war,
He always wanted more.
He liked to battle,
With a horse and a saddle.
Ares was the god of war,
And he was hardcore.
He was the worst,
Because he wasn’t the first.

Hades
Lord of the dead, Hades,
He isn’t very good with the
ladies.
So he kidnapped his wife,
And she said, “Get a life!”
He rarely appeared,
‘Cause many people feared.
He always has room for another
soul,
‘Cause he always burns coal.
Zeus, the brother of Hades,
Is very smooth with the ladies.
Hades has a three legged dog,
That was bigger than a log.
Hepaestus
Hephaestus, the god of fire,
And blacksmiths.

Was tossed out of Olympus.
Made Zeus mad,
Kind, gentle.
Roman’s called him Vulcan,
His wife was
Nice, lovely
Aphrodite was her name.
The dog with the spiked tail,
Didn’t let any souls bail out of
soul jail.
He didn’t come outside to play
in the park,
‘Cause he wants to stay in the
dark.
To get to the underwold you must pass through
the river,
While you pass through the river you
might get a shiver.
The river’s name is Styx,
And Hades hates the New York Knicks.

Demeter and her daughter, Persephone
Demeter worshiped her grains,
And had a lot of brains.
She grew tomatoes,
And also potatoes.
Demeter had a daughter Persephone,
The ground split most definitely.
She was taken against her will,
Even though she didn’t have a bill.
Demeter wanted her daughter back,
She was going out of whack.
When she got her back,
She wasn’t out of whack.
by Sarah & Jenni
Pan
Cronus
Pan was so ugly his Mama ran,
Because he was a stupid man.
He protected shepherds for
money,
Because he needed to support
his honey.
Cronus is the last Titan lord,
He rules with his mighty sword.
The mother is sad that he ate the
children like mut
And now they’re inside his gut.
Though they never liked him for
his lucks,
But they stayed for his buck.
He was very fond of the moon,
Although he was a loon.
Cronus was fooled and ate a stone,
And Zeus got out and phoned home.
Cronus is so tall,
That he went to the mall.
Cronus is so cool,
That he bought a pool.
Cronus is so strong,
He wins when he plays ping pong.
Her name sounds like a kitchen tool,
He acts like a total fool.
If you could hear his scream,
It’s only a dream.
by Austin & Steven

His love affairs make her
sad.
