Greek mythology from A to Z:
[P] - Pan (Πάν) was the god of the wild, hunting and companion of the nymphs. He was depicted as being half human, half goat.
Norse mythology from A to Z:
[E] - Eostre, according to the stories, is a goddess associated with flowers and springtime.
Eostre first makes her appearance in literature about thirteen hundred years ago in the Venerable Bede’s Temporum Ratione. Bede tells us that April is known as Eostremonath, and is named for a goddess that the Anglo-Saxons honored in the spring.
Interestingly, Eostre doesn’t appear anywhere in Germanic mythology, and despite assertions that she might be a Norse deity, she doesn’t show up in the poetic or prose Eddas either. However, she could certainly have belonged to some tribal group in the Germanic areas, and her stories may have just been passed along through oral tradition.
Greek mythology from A to Z:
[A] - Ares (Ἄρης) is the god of war. However, unlike Athena, he represents merely its destructive capacity and is typically the personification of sheer violence and brutality.
