    Athena is the name of an important goddess for the Greeks. She was the goddess of wisdom and crafts and the favorite daughter of Zeus. With her intelligence, I could make the world a better place to live. I could help end wars all over the world and start world peace. I could solve problems to help world hunger by providing and educating people about food and agriculture. With her powers, I could assist people to discover new and exciting places around the world. This would help people understand different cultures. I would use my intelligence to create a world that is united
    together.

  2. Apollo (Ashvin)
    Apollo is a very truthful and powerful god. He was the god of many things such as, music, healing plague, prophecies, poetry and archery. His powers would stop all diseases and with his kind and relaxing music, no one would be as angry. I also play an instrument so we have things in common. Just like the sun he is gentle, but can be forceful. Always being cheerful he enlightens the earth and partnered with his sister, Artemis, they rule the light and darkness. Apollo is so powerful that he guides the sun in his radiant chariot. I would forever cast his light showing the way to lost souls, wondering around. He would hunt down evildoers with his all Seeing Eye and justice would spread across the globe. The blissfulness would be unimaginable and everyone would live together in peace and harmony. The world would sparkle with everyone doing good deeds. This is how I would use my powers if I were Apollo.

    Aphrodite was the goddess of beauty and love. Her son was Eros, the god of love. Aphrodite believed that she had a watchful eye over sailors. One of Aphrodite powers is to promote beauty and love. She could also make people love or hate each other. With her powers she could make love potion. She could also make someone you love who's dead alive again. I would use these powers to find someone's true love and have a family. If there is some you love that died I would help them bring them back to life so they can live together forever. This is how I would use my power as Aphrodite.

    Aphrodite is the godess of love and beauty.
    She symbolizes, Dolphin, Rose, Scallop Shell, Myrtle, Dove, Sparrow, Girdle, Mirror, and Swan. Here are some powers I would have if I was Aphrodite. I would have a bow and arrow, and determine whether or not people are meant to be in love or not and shoot the two people and they would fall deeply in love. Another power I would have is, with my fingers I can give the perfect makeover to any girl. One last power I would have is with my mind I can tell if some one likes another person and make the other person like them back. If here was love in the world it wouldn't lead to war and peace can be restored. Peace is a very rare and powerful thing in the world and it would be nice if it can live on earth. The world would be a safer enviornment if there was love in the air. Theese are the powers I would have if I was Aphrodite

    If I were a Greek god, I would be named Fotiafotos. My name translates to Bearer of Fire. The word "fotia" in Greek means "fire". The word "fotos" in Greek means "bearer".I would resist fire and heal people burns. Serving as a fireman would be my job. I could walk into burning buildings and get people out. If they are severely burned, I could cure them. They would not have to wait for an ambulance to come help them. Helping people is the most important thing to do in life. This could cure the worst of injuries and would make everyone happy.

    My greek goddess name would be LOSFANDITE. Bringing happiness, love and laughter to people gives me great pleasure. As a greek goddess I would seek out those who are in need of laughter, happiness and love. When you are sad you would call on Losfandite, when you are without love, you would call on Losfandite and lastly when you need a good laugh, who do you call? That's right....... Losfandite!
    The powers that I hold are very special to me because I love to be happy, I love to love and most of all I love to laugh. Losfandite....the goddess of happiness, love and laughter!

  8. As i sit back and re-read my blog, I honestly don't like the name I made up for goddess. I put it together from these 3 names:

    Gelos for laughter
    Fand for happiness
    and Aphrodite for love.

    If anyone can come up with a better name for my goddess it would really make me FAND! HAHAHAHA

    Thanks,
    Miss Donna

    My greek name is AccAlia. AccAlia means fun-loving and outgoing.(Just like me) AccAlia is also a greek myth. If I had three powers my first power would be to fly. I would like to fly because; it`s easyer than driving everywhere you need to go. My other power would be for no one or animal to die or to get injured. My third power would be to redo anything. If you mess up with something you can redo it.

    My name is Hristoteros. It means "bearer of god." If I had three powers one will be to bring people back from the dead. When I bring back someone from the dead they will look the same as they did before. My second power will be to destroy all that harm the innocent.
    That wil be my power because their is no reason to harm the innocent. My last power will be control the rock. I would like to have this power because it would be cool and helpful to control rock. It would be helpful because if rocks are in peoples' way I can move it for them. All and all if I had tree powers these would be my powers.


    **The h is silent in my greek name.**

    My greek name would be Vednis which in latin is wizard. I would have the power to levitate for anything by just snapping my fingers. I would also have the power to find anything. I would just have to think about in my mind. Where ever I lost it, it would find its way to me and appear right in front of me in seconds.My third power would be to heal or mend anyone or anything. So if a baby bird fell out of the tree I could heal it and it would be like nothing happened. If the baby bird died though, I would not be able to do anything because bringing the dead back is one thing I disagree with. I believe that everything happens for a reason. So,if I where a goddess Vednis would be my name and my three powers would be my game.

    "Mulillus is his name." My parents Odyssesus and penelope said the day I was born. My name is short for mover of sea. If I had three powers my first one would be able to talk to sea creatures. I would love to know what they would be saying. My second power would be molding sand by just moving my fingers. I could impress all my friends.My third power would be to be able to turn into a sea creature. I would adore to talk to all kinds of sea animals. I would also enjoy breathing under water.Those are the powers I would have.

    If I had a Greek name it would be Phos. It means light, just my real name, and I would cast my eternal glow to the distant reaches of the planet. Darkness would be cast away and everyone would live in peace, unafraid of all the dangers in ominous shadows. All of the people in the world could explore unknown regions of the Earth and many scientific breakthroughs would occur. The tricks I would be able to do would also be enjoyable. Turning light on and off like I am a ghost. Another power that would really come in handy is moving at the speed of light. I would be able to flash in and out of places so fast that no one could see me. It would be so fast that I could touch the sun and come back in less than 16 min. and 40 sec. Another amazing thing I would be able to do, is though I can’t see the deepest ocean, I could still see space, endlessly traveling to the ends of the universe. There are all the extraordinary powers I would have if I was light.

    Miss. Donna. I would probably go for a shorter name, like Agape, meaning love or Aglaia for beauty. Even Chara meaning joy would suit you.
    I hope this helped.

    Ecolus the god of the enviroment. When ever I look at a peice of garbage on the street my mind can levitate it and make it go in the garbage. I can also make the ocean less polluted with a stomp from my foot. When someone makes a bad choice of littering I can go in there mind and make them not litter anymore so we can all have better place to live. If my god never did this then the world would end and humans would cease to live. Ecolus is a kind and gental person who cares about our world. He can clean anywere in the world including Antartica. Everyone in the world respec Ecolus. Those were powers Ecolus would have.

Super sonic speed could also blow people away. My best power might be super sonic speed. I would like to be a god. In conclusion, this is what I would do as a Greek god.

    If I was a Greek goddess my name would be SEPHORA. I would be the goddess of jewelery. My first power would be with the snap of my finger I would give any peice of jewelery to any girl. Another power I would have is when I say I want a purple necklace with a gold chain when I say that it would magically appear in my hand.

    If I was a greek god my name would be Peakia. My first power would be to contrel people's minds. If I had that power I would only use it to stop wars from happing, or for anouther reason that wont make eny harm in the world. If I used my power for a bad reason that will cause harm or make someone very unhappy, my powers will stop working. My second power be to control the weather. I could keep tornados, hurricanes and blizzards from happing. It would never be to cold or to hot. I would never make it rain more than 3 days strait or sonw or over one hundred degrees 3 days in a row. But I would never mess with deserts, rain forests or other places in the world that need alot of water or heat. My third power would be to tell who did what. When I look at something I would be able to tell who did it. For example if there was a robber, and I went to the place that got robbed I would be able to tell who the rogger was. But when I use that power I have to close my eyes and think the words "Who(whater I wanted to know Example)robbed the store tell me, tell me" then in my head I would see the person doing the thing I wanted ot know. All in all if I was a greek god named Peakia I would beable to control peoples minds, control the weather, and beable to tell who did what.

    My Greek name would be Fiona because it is a warrior's name. If i had to choose my first power would be to talk to pets because if they were to be harmed in any way I could help them and they would not feel abandoned. I could also help animals in a shelter to tell people they may look wrecked and homeless but they have a really sweet personality. They would also be able to understand what I was saying. My second power would to be to freeze time. If I could freeze time I could fix anything that went wrong or anything in danger. My third power would be to have super speed. I could help anyone in danger in just seconds. Even if they were on the other side of the world. I like the name Fiona because Fiona is a powerful name. These are the powers I would like to have if I were to be a Greek God.

  30. Ava,

    My Greek god name is aireal. The reason why I chose that name is because it has to do with gymnastics. I couldn't think of anything else to do. My three super powers are one that I can fly, that has been my dream. Also, two that I can have super strength then I can pick up stuff like a car. Lastly, three I could read minds so that whenever someone is being mean to me I will know what their thinking. I wish I could really be a Greek god it would be awesome. Almost all of my dreams have to do with either being a god having super powers and all that. That's three super powers I would want if I was a god. P.S. I really wish I was a Greek god

    My name would be Artlepiuz. The gods Aries(god of war)and Asclepius(god of medicine)names mixed together. If I had three powers my first power would be to turn my self into a metal shape or size. I can defend myself from danger. When I transform and something hits my metal body it will not hurt me. My second power would be I can rise people from the dead all healthy and human looking. I can heal people just by my finger tips. My last power would be that I can multiply myself so I can heal millions of people at a time and if they died it would not affect me. Artlepiuz is my name and my powers are the game.
    That is was I would be if I was a Greek God.

    If I were a greek god my name would be Κύριος του ανέμου which means lord of the wind. My first power would be to fly. If I could fly, I would travel anywhere I wanted to to as fast as I wanted to. No more using a plane or car, or any other type of transportation. I wouldn't waste gas either. My second power would be to use the winds to move items. I could pick up trash by just a wave of my hand and clean up cities by cleaning the streets. I would make the world more clean. My third power would be to create winds to cool me and other people nice and cool on hot days. No more suffering from stickey, oppressive, hot summer days. I would prevent heat stroke by sending a cool breeze at them. These are powers I would have as a Greek god.

    My greek name is Agalia. It means brightness, joy,and gaiety.It seems to fit to me and my actions perfect.
    If I could get three powers one would be the power to be invisable. It would be great for April Fools Day. Also it would be great for scaring people. The second power that i would enjoy having is the power to freeze time. I would freeze time because then I could go back and see all the events in the past. Lastly I would want the power to fly. I would fly because I could get anywhere in a blink of an eye. Also because I could avoid traffic.
    That is my Greek name and my three widhes for power.

    Hey everyone! How are you all? Eventhough Iam sick I still love blogging with all of you. Let me see, what name and powers would I choose? I will name him Pathos and his powers would be,
    power 1: Pathos would controll war and begin it. Eventhough I absolutely hate war but the name sounded so interesting. Power 2: Pathos would be able to force thoes to listen. Now I know this is going againtst my vowels about saving less fortunate children but, sometimes my mind spits out okward things. Some things I can't controll. Finially, Power 3: Pathos also, has a good side and tries to change those in need. Remember my motto is that people can change! tHAT IS HOW i represent my Greek God. Thank you, for reading my comment boys and girls, and hopefully I will be back soon!

  37. Marcos,
    Hi, my name is GoldBird and I have a power that I can fly. I can fly more than decade and go any where in the world. My second power is that im strong as a rhino. My third power is that I can stay without food or water for more than two years. I can see all the beauties in the world. And another way is that I can visit all my family members in the world. One time my family and I went to a football game and it was free bcause I just flew them all up. I got this awesome power from a bird that flew on my head and chirped. So I pray to god every night because of this wonderful power. My family and friends know that I have this power. And they are all jealous that I have this power. And some people think that I'm the luckiest bird in the sky.

    I can't believe we are going to actually going to depict ourselves in as the hero.
    Miss Donna, I think your character would be a teenage girl with a robe and a peace sign in the middle. You could even have a little shield with a heart or a peace sign on it. She would be beaming and seem to radiate a friendly presence. I hope these ideas help.
