In Greek mythology, Hermaphroditus or Hermaphroditos () was the child of Aphrodite and Hermes.

Apollo, like other Greek deities, had a number of epithets applied to him, reflecting the variety of roles, duties, and aspects ascribed to the god.

However, while Apollo has a great number of appellations in Greek myth, only a few occur in Latin literature, chief among them Phoebus ( ; Φοίβος, Phoibos, literally " radiant "), which was very commonly used by both the Greeks and Romans in Apollo's role as the god of light.

The improvement of the old Anatolian god, and his elevation to an intellectual sphere, may be considered an achievement of the Greek people.

Homer interprets Apollo as a terrible god ( δεινός θεός ) who brings death and disease with his arrows, but who can also heal, possessing a magic art that separates him from the other Greek gods.

As a quintessentially Greek god, Apollo had no direct Roman equivalent, although later Roman poets often referred to him as Phoebus.

However, this story may reflect a cultural influence which had the reverse direction: Hittite cuneiform texts mention a Minor Asian god called Appaliunas or Apalunas in connection with the city of Wilusa attested in Hittite inscriptions, which is now generally regarded as being identical with the Greek Ilion by most scholars.

The animistic idea as the representation of the imaginative reality, is sanctified in the Homeric poems and in Greek myths, in stories of the god Hephaestus ( Phaistos ) and the mythic Daedalus ( the builder of the labyrinth ) that made images which moved of their own accord.

The Greek god Hades is known in Greek mythology as the king of the underworld, a place where souls live after death.

The Greek god Hermes, the messenger of the gods, would take the dead soul of a person to the underworld ( sometimes called Hades or the House of Hades ).

The Greek name for amber was ( elektron ), " formed by the sun ", and it was connected to the sun god ( Helios ), one of whose titles was Elector or the Awakener.

In a great majority of instances the name Abrasax is associated with a singular composite figure, having a Chimera-like appearance somewhat resembling a basilisk or the Greek primordial god Chronos ( not to be confused with the Greek titan Cronus ).

The program was named after the Greek god of light, music, and the sun by NASA manager Abe Silverstein, who later said that " I was naming the spacecraft like I'd name my baby.

Ares (, Μodern Greek: Άρης ) was the Greek god of war.

His value as a war god is even placed in doubt: during the Trojan War, Ares was on the losing side, while Athena, often depicted in Greek art as holding Nike ( Victory ) in her hand, favored the triumphant Greeks.

There may also be a connection with the Roman god of war Mars, via hypothetical Proto-Indo-European * M ̥ rēs ; compare Ancient Greek μάρναμαι ( marnamai ), " to fight, to battle ", or Punjabi maarna ( to kill, to hit ).

Ares was one of the Twelve Olympians in the archaic tradition represented by the Iliad and Odyssey, but Zeus expresses a recurring Greek revulsion toward the god when Ares returns wounded and complaining from the battlefield at Troy:

Ares was also worshipped by the Baharna of Tylos, however it is not known in the form of which Arabian god or if he was worshipped in his Greek form.

In 1804, the German chemist Friedrich Sertürner isolated from opium a " soporific principle " (), which he called " morphium " in honor of Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams ; in German and some other Central-European languages, this is still the name of the drug.

In Greek mythology, Aegina was a daughter of the river god Asopus and the nymph Metope.

Anubis ( or ; ) is the Greek name for a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in ancient Egyptian religion.

In later times, during the Ptolemaic period, Anubis was merged with the Greek god Hermes, becoming Hermanubis.

Most of the brighter stars were assigned their first systematic names by the German astronomer Johann Bayer in 1603, in his star atlas Uranometria ( named after Urania, the Greek Muse of Astronomy, along with Uranus, the Greek god of the sky and heavens ).

However, more recent scholarly opinion points out that the word in the Book of Daniel is siphonia ( from Greek siphon, reed ), and concludes that the bagpipe did not exist at so early a time, though the name of the " zampogna " could still have been derived from this word ( Marcuse 1975, 501 & 597 ).
