DIONYSUS-Roman name Bacchus) was the god of wine. Dionysus was the son of Zeus and the mortal heroine Semele.
Dionysus rescued Ariadne after she had been abandoned by Theseus. Dionysus also saved his mother from the Underworld, after Zeus showed her his true nature as storm god and consumed her in lightning.
It was Dionysus who granted Midas the power to turn whatever he touched into gold, then was kind enough to take the power back when it proved inconvenient.

ARES was the god of war, or more precisely of warlike frenzy. Though an immortal deity, he was bested by Heracles in battle and was almost killed when stuffed into a jar by two giants. When another hero wounded him during the Trojan War, he received scant sympathy from his father Zeus.
In appearance, Ares was handsome and cruel. He is often depicted carrying a bloodstained spear. His throne on Mount Olympus was said to be covered in human skin.
Apollo was the godd of prophesy,music, and healing. He beat the best fighter, Achille, in a single combat. Apollo played a lyre and won several music competions by playing this.

I am doing my blog on Apollo. He is the godest of prophesy,music,and healing. As god of music,Apollo is often depicted playing the lyre. He did ot invent this instrument,however,but was given it by Hermesin compensation for cattel theft, but some say Apollo did invent the lute. He wonm several musical contests by playing the lyre. Like most of his fellow Olympians, Apollo did not hesitate to intervene in human affairs.
