For me it is the story of Zeus because he revealed to his father after being abandoned as a child to not eat it, betrayed the Titans and became god of Olympus. I also like Zeus because he is depicted as a perfect man, wise, strong, as the supreme God.

for me is, the Minotaur because it is a story that has everything romance, struggle for survival, a monster half human half bull, an evil king, reflecting the enmity that had at that time between two cities: Athens and Crete. and if you pay attention you can see in the myths from the reality, especially for the time they were counted. If subsisted until now should be because we all love and always leave some teaching.

For me it is the story of Hera was the goddess of marriage and protector of married women ,as was the lawful wife of Zeus, that in the naturally , became the protector of married women. She was represented as jealous, vengeful violence was common and often will take on Zeus, because zeus the cheated on. this shows it the strength of women ,and that this force can be equated to that of a man. represents all women, and shows us a great goddess.

My favorite Greek story is of Ares, son of Zeus and Hera, this character was the war god in the Olympus, did not have much education and he was violent, his father told him that I hated him more than the rest of the gods and that the only reason to tolerate him was that his son was, he was worshiped in the city of Sparta as it related to the wars, and was respected in Athens. It's a good story and a little sad.

My favorite story is that of persefone, as it is very interesting when his uncle kidnaps her and leaves her in hell. It also tells us that flowers persefone grieved and killed when he went to hell, but the flowers grew and reborn when she returns. This is why cyclical fall that comes after spring and grow and the flowers appear.

For me, Greek mythology that I like, is Poseidon, as one who can control the sea and aquatic environments. Poseidon, was confused with some god of the earth because its name means'' the king of the land.'' This god is within the top 12 gods of Olympus, and this can manifest itself through ocacionados earth quakes and tsunamis, since his power is such that it interferes with the power of Zeus on earth.

For me it is the history for Argo because he was the true protector of the goddess Hera. It is said that possessed hundred eyes, half of which were closed when asleep.
Hera, use Argo to prevent Zeus approached Io, for so Zeus command the Hermes for the kill. Hermes used a pan flute for to sleep and then killed him. Hera, with hurt, gently grabbed Argo's eyes and placed them in the peacock feathers for that, all remember.

My favorite is the Greek story of Icarus and talking when I build wings maravilldo stay with these and I raise the air no matter who has disobeyed Daedalus, master of the world was believed and flew so high that came close to the sun and his wings burned and fell into the sea. I like this story that we can give different interpretations to me is that there are times when we are blinded by having something and do not realize that this may be our perdition.

My favorite story is legend Pegasus Greek, as is the story of a winged horse, which according to what others told sources he was born in the ocean. Its most important role is in the legend of Belerofonte, because it was said that Pegasus had been given to Belerofonte by Poseidon.
Finally Zeus became Constellation, to be eternal. When this happened, a feather from his wings fell near Tarsus, and so the city took its name.

my favorite greek legend is Oedipus because Oedipus is in the son of the kings of Thebes who ordered his death at birth to avoid the curse of an old oracle who claimed that the child born of these kings would kill his own father and marry his mother. It is a story full of tragedy as the born to live in a tragedy that Oedipus ends up killing his father, marries his mother and have her four children at a time are his brothers.

My favorite story is that of Hermes, is the son of Zeus and the nymph Maia, I like it because it had different functions, was a messenger from his father, guide the souls of the dead in Hades, symbol of prosperity between humans and protector of travelers, merchants and thieves. He was witty and clever. Hermes is starring in different types of romances what makes it interesting.

For my best it is the legend of Oedipus, son of the kings of Tebas who give the orders to kill it in order that there is not fulfilled what the oracle said to them, they did not kill it and Oedipus kills his father and marries his mother, and ultimately there is fulfilled what the oracle predicted.
It seems to me to be sad, because though they wanted to avoid what the oracle predicted finally one expires and is terrible for Oedipus so much so the same one is punished.

The best greek god for my is Poseidon, because is a lover of the sea animals and take care of them. Is represented in his images as a being who is in a carriage carried by sea horses . One of his symbols is the dolphin for their intelligence and ability to swim. Also he controls the sea and he can make earthquakes and seaquakes. He's better than Zeus

Finally, Pegasus stayed on Olympus with Zeus and he turned it into a constellation.

The myth of Pandora is my favorite, because according to the myth, Pandora was the first woman. Hephaestus (god of fire) the modeled in the image and likeness of the immortals, and obtained the help of Pallas Athena (goddess of wisdom). Zeus ordered her creation to punish the human race, because Prometheus had stolen the divine fire to give to men.
