Wrath of the Gods

Personajes

Icono	Nombre	Descripción
	Nuestro Héroe	You are the hero in "Wrath of the Gods". You are sent out into the world to fulfill the destiny of heroes like Jason, Hercules, Theseus and Perseus, whose adventures you will experience firsthand.
	The Chimaera	Fire-breathing monster slain by the hero Bellerophon; related to Cerberus and the Hydra. The Chimaera was part lion, part goat and part snake, although accounts differed as to how these parts were assembled. King Iobates of Lycia sent Bellerophon after the beast in the expectation that the hero would never return. But with the help of the gods and the flying horse Pegasus, Bellerophon rid Lycia of its multiple monster.
	The Cyclops	One-eyed giant of the race that built Olympus for the gods; plural: Cyclopes. The Cyclops who almost devoured Odysseus and all his shipmates on their return from the Trojan War was named Polyphemus. This gigantic goatherd dined on Greeks for nights on end before the hero thought to poke out his eye.
	Seed Man	One of the warriors who sprouted from the dragon's teeth sown like seeds by Jason in his quest for the Golden Fleece. Jason had to fight an entire company of these "seed men".
	Daedalus	Builder of the Labyrinth for King Minos of Crete, Daedalus was a renowned craftsman and inventor. Before his time statues had their arms fixed stiffly to their sides - Daedalus gave them naturalistic poses and, some say, the power of movement. Daedalus claimed to have invented the saw, but credit instead went to his nephew, whom Daedalus consequently murdered in a fit of professional jealousy. Because of this homicide, he fled his native Athens for the court of King Minos on the island of Crete.
	Hera	Goddess of marriage, wife of Zeus, Queen of the Olympians. Enemy of Heracles, she sent snakes to attack him when he was still an infant and later stirred up the Amazons against him when he was on one of his quests. On the other hand, Hera aided the hero Jason.
	Caneus	Originally the maiden Caenis, changed by Poseidon into a supposedly invulnerable fighter. Caeneus angered Zeus by walking into the marketplace one day and demanding that his spear be worshipped as a god. Determined to punish this sacrilege, Zeus had to give careful thought to bringing about the demise of a fighter who could not be killed in combat. He achieved his end by turning the centaurs against Caeneus. They killed him by pounding him into the ground.
	Minos	King of Crete whose insult to the gods eventuated in the birth of the Minotaur. When challenged to prove his right to the Cretan throne, Minos asked the gods to send him a sign. The deities instantly obliged, causing a beautiful white bull to emerge from the sea. Minos was so delighted that he decided not to offer the bull for sacrifice as was expected. Instead he substituted another bull from his herd. This displeased the sea god Poseidon so much that he made Minos' wife fall in love with the bull from the sea. The Minotaur was born as a result.
	Zeus	Supreme god of the Olympians. Father of Perseus and Heracles, the latter of whom once wrestled him to a draw. Zeus's Roman name was Jupiter.
	Sciron	Bandit who made travelers stop to wash his feet, then kicked them over a cliff while they were doing so. When they fell into the sea below, they were devoured by a man-eating turtle. Theseus turned the tables on Sciron.
	Naiad	Naiads were nymphs of springs, ponds and rivers. Like other nymphs, naiads were young and beautiful female sprites. They were divine but not immortal.
	Sisyphus	Sinner condemned in Tartarus to an eternity of rolling a boulder uphill then watching it roll back down again. Sisyphus was founder and king of Corinth, or Ephyra as it was called in those days. He was notorious as the most cunning knave on earth. His greatest triumph came at the end of his life, when the god Hades came to claim him personally for the kingdom of the dead. Hades had brought along a pair of handcuffs, a comparative novelty, and Sisyphus expressed such an interest that Hades was persuaded to demonstrate their use - on himself.
	The Minotaur	A monster, half-man, half-bull, that devoured sacrificial victims thrown into the Labyrinth. Born of Queen Pasiphae's god-inflicted infatuation with a bull, the Minotaur was eventually killed by Theseus. The monster is generally depicted as having the head of a bull and the body of a man. But in the Middle Ages, artists portrayed a man's head and torso on a bull's body.
	Argus	A hero from Arcadia with more than the usual number of eyes; also called Argus All-Seeing to differentiate him from others named Argus. Argus All-Seeing got his nickname from his unorthodox number of eyes. In a classical case of mythological inconsistency, some say he had four eyes - two in the standard placement and two in the back of his head - while others claim he had up to a hundred eyes all over his body.
