Post 10
   James Ewals: Dionysus: I learned that Dionysus should not have become a god but instead he should have been a demigod but because he was sewn into Zeus's leg before his birth he became a God; The God of Wine.
   Summer : Aphrodite: I learned that Aphrodite's symbol is a dove because it is full of grace and beauty much like Aphrodite herself.
   Natalie: Nut:  I learned that Nut swallows the sun deity Ra, every night to make the sky dark and then has to rebirth him each day to give light back to the Earth.
   Maggie: Xi- Wangmu: I learned that Xi- Wangmu has a religion that is associated with her called Taoism, and that her immortality peaches are a large symbol in that religion.
   Katie: Freya: I learned that one of Freya's jobs is to ensure that all fallen warriors, who deserve it, go to Valhalla, to be at peace with Odin.
   Abrianna: Lan-Caihe: I learned that the flowers she carry are more that what they appear to be, other than just a pretty accessory they also allow her to speak to the other gods.
   Bailey: Hel: I learned that her symbol is a red rose because she wanted something pretty to represent her because she thought that she was not pretty herself.
    Alicia: Loki: I learned that Loki Is not all alone he does actually have a family of his own despite how tense it may be. he has a daughter named Hel, and two sons Fenris (a wolf ), and Jormungand (a giant snake).
   Grant: Odin: I learned Odin did not loose hos eye in a great battle but instead gave it up so he could drink from a spring that gave him great knowledge.
   Mckenzie: Raven: I learned that Raven is told to have created the earth, he gave one large swoop of his wings and it came into existence.
   Jaskrit: Krishna: I learned that Krishna has an interesting and uncommon weakness, which is that he can only be severely injured on the sole of his left foot.
   Delaney: Nokomis: I leaned that Nokomis was not always a grandmother goddess but when she was younger she was actually the goddess of beauty. I also so learned that unlike most other gods she ages.
   James Hohenlohe: Sun Wukong: I learned that Monkey is not just a trickster God to the Chinese people but he is actually celebrated and has a festival that is specificly for celebrating him and it is called The Monkey King Festival.
   Savanna: Amentet: I Learned that she does not collect or judge the dead, instead she is kind to them and helps them through their transition into the underworld by giving the bread and water.
   Meghan: Coyote: I learned that coyote is quite the loner; I say this because he really has no friends or family the only company he ever has are his enemies or people that he is trying to trick.
   Lexi and Dani: Demeter and Persephone: I learned that Persephone must reside down in the underworld for half of the year (6 months) because she ate six of the pomegranate seeds that were given to her while she was down there.  I also learned that Demeter has control over all of the seasons and over all that the earth can produces, when her daughter is down with Hades in the underworld she does not have the  earth produce all of the food as well as it does when Persephone is with her which in turn causes our seasons.
   Grace: Anubis: I learned that Anubis is the one who gets to really decide your fate because he has to weigh your heart on a scale with a feather and if it is heavier than the feather you can not enter the heavenly afterlife and are instead eaten.
   Ethan: Pangue: I learned that Pangue is the creator of our Earth and that he was born from and egg that he lived and grew in for 18000 years which is surprising that it took that long since he is a giant that grows six feet each day.
