A list of Greek gods names

Here you'll find a list of Greek gods names (with the name of the corresponding Roman god in brackets) and when you click on each entry, a new page will open, with his story.

In the Greek alphabet there was no letter Q, so there are no Greek gods names that start with a Q.

Thanatos - the personification of death

Uranus - the personification of the sky/heavens

I couldn't find any Greek gods names that start with an X (there are only some humans with names starting with an X).

And no names of Greek gods that start with a Y, either. But I just chose to list the whole alphabet, even if the Greek one was different.

Zephyrus - the god of the West wind

Zeus - the ruler of all the gods (Jupiter)
