Edith Hamilton's 'Mythology' is an excellent source for Greco-Roman myths.  It also has some stuff about Norse mythology  It's a good-sized book, too....not just some little picturebook.

One of the basic themes in ancient greek tragedy is that the life threads of human beings are controlled by the gods.\nHecabe ~ Antigone: importance of burial; centrality of family relationships\nAntigone: personal/family relationships (Polyneices as brother) cross with social/political relationships (Polyneices as enemy of city). \nWomen as victims - Antigone, Polyxena, Hecabe (though n.b. context of male/male violence)\nMale antagonists - Creon, Polymestor\nMale victims of female violence: Polymestor, Heracles - in the latter case, the female is a goddess. \nfriendship vs enmity, loyalty vs betrayal in Heracles-Philoctetes, Greeks-Philoctetes\nethics\nlove\nloss\npride\nabuse of power

Here's a list I compiled from memory of Hindu Gods/Goddesses compared to Greek Gods/Goddesses. I'm a mythology fanatic, but unfortunately I'm not nearly as familiar with as many Hindu deities as I am with others (Greek, Roman, Norse, Egyptian, etc).\n\nBrahma or Vishnu or Shiva<--supreme god--> Zeus\nKama <--Gods of (erotic) love and desire--> Eros\nAgni <---Gods of fire--> Hephaestus\nKali <--Goddesss' symbolizing the life, death and rebirth cycles--> Persephone\nIndra <--Supreme ruler of the Gods; gods of thunder, the sky and weather; wielded a lightning bolt--> Zeus\nIndra <--Gods of war--> Ares\nSkanda/Karttikeya <---Gods of war--> Ares\nSurya <--Gods of the sun--> Helios\nSavitar/Savitr <--Gods of the sun--> Helios\nLakshmi <--Goddess' of love and beauty--> Aphrodite\nRati <--Goddess' of love, passion, fertility and sexuality--> Aphrodite\nYama <--Gods of the dead--> Hades\nBanka-Mundi <--Goddess' of hunting-->Artemis\nDyaus <--Gods of Sky--> Uranus\nDyaus <--Gods of sky--> Zeus\nDyaus <--overthrown by their sons-->Cronus\nVaruna/Baruna <--Gods of water/the sea--> Poseidon\nVayu <--Gods of wind--> Aeolos/Aeolus\nUshas <--Goddess' of dawn--> Eos\nRatri <--Goddess' of night--> Nyx\nDevi <--mother goddess'/divine mothers-->Gaia/Gaea\n\nI'm sure I could add more if I took the time to think about them...

When in doubt, use Wikipedia!\n\nIn Greek mythology, Nike (Greek Νίκη, pronounced /'nike/ "NEE-keh", meaning "Victory") , was a goddess who personified triumph. She was a daughter of Pallas (Warrior) and Styx (Hatred), and the sister of Cratos (Strength), Bia (Force), and Zelus (Rivalry). Nike and her siblings were all attendants of Zeus. According to myth, Styx brought them to Zeus when the god was assembling allies for the coming Titan War. Nike assumed the role of the god's personal charioteer, a role often portrayed in classical art. Her Roman counterpart is Victoria.\n\nWorship\nNike was often worshipped in conjunction with Athena, with whom Persians at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC. The great statue of Athena Parthenos in the Parthenon in Athens is thought to have depicted Nike standing in the hand of Athena, and the Parthenon complex included a Temple of Athena Nike, built around 410 BC. The Athenians also dedicated a statue to Nike at Delphi. The statue of Zeus at Olympia reportedly also depicted Nike. On occasions, Athena was depicted with Nike's attributes. According to Pausanias, the statue of Athena Nike depicted a wingless Nike ("Nike Apteros"), supposedly so that the statue could never leave the city of Athens. This temple has also provided a famous surviving depiction of the goddess, Nike unfastening her sandal ("Nike Slancio"), which was originally part of the temple parapret and is now on display in the Acropolis Museum in Athens.\n\nModern usage\nNike also presided over athletic as well as military contests. It was this meaning that prompted designer Jeff Johnson, the first man that US footwear entrepreneur Phil Knight hired, to borrow her name for the company, Nike, Inc., the clothing and sportswear manufacturer. Johnson had a dream about the goddess and Knight liked the idea.\n\nAn image of Nike appears in all Summer Olympics medals. In 2004 for the 2004 Summer Olympics an image of the goddess appears in the Panathinaiko Stadium [1]. The Jules Rimet trophy is in the form of an octagonal cup supported by a winged figure representing Nike.\n\nThe United States Army also borrowed her name for its Project Nike surface-to-air missile programme.

In Greek mythology, Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty and sexual rapture. According to Hesiod, she was born when Uranus (the father of the gods) was castrated by his son Cronus. Cronus threw the severed genitals into the ocean which began to churn and foam about them. From the aphros ("sea foam") arose Aphrodite, and the sea carried her to either Cyprus or Cythera. Hence she is often referred to as Kypris and Cytherea. Homer calls her a daughter of Zeus and Dione. \nAfter her birth, Zeus was afraid that the gods would fight over Aphrodite's hand in marriage so he married her off to the smith god Hephaestus, the steadiest of the gods. He could hardly believe his good luck and used all his skills to make the most lavish jewels for her. He made her a girdle of finely wrought gold and wove magic into the filigree work. That was not very wise of him, for when she wore her magic girdle no one could resist her, and she was all too irresistible already. She loved gaiety and glamour and was not at all pleased at being the wife of sooty, hard-working Hephaestus. \n\nAphrodite loved and was loved by many gods and mortals. Among her mortal lovers, the most famous was perhaps Adonis. Some of her sons are Eros, Anteros, Hymenaios and Aeneas (with her Trojan lover Anchises). She is accompanied by the Graces. \n\nHer festival is the Aphrodisiac which was celebrated in various centers of Greece and especially in Athens and Corinth. Her priestesses were not prostitutes but women who represented the goddess and sexual intercourse with them was considered just one of the methods of worship. Aphrodite was originally an old-Asian goddess, similar to the Mesopotamian Ishtar and the Syro-Palestinian goddess Ashtart. Her attributes are a.o. the dolphin, the dove, the swan, the pomegranate and the lime tree. \n\nIn Roman mythology Venus is the goddess of love and beauty.

Zeus\n \nSupreme Greek god and head of the Greek pantheon. In addition Zeus functioned as a sky god or weather god, and as a god of justice and freedom. Son of the Titans Kronos and Rhea. Consort of Hera. His cult probably dates back to the Mycenean and Minoan civilizations. According to Homer, he lived on Mt. Olympus in Thessaly, where he gathered the other gods under his dominion.After his birth, Rhea saved the infant Zeus from being swallowed by Kronos along with his siblings by substituting a stone dressed in swaddling cloths. She then hid the child in a cave on the island of Crete, where the Kouretes performed a dance in which they clashed their weapons about him in order to drown out his cries. His nurse while in Crete was Amalthea, either a nymph or a goat. Upon reaching maturity, Zeus overthrew the Titans and forced Kronos to disgorge his siblings. Zeus then cast Kronos into Tartaros and established himself as head of a new pantheon in which he and his siblings had the most prominent roles. He divided dominion over the world with his brothers Poseidon and Hades.Zeus's sexual prowess was legendary, and he either seduced or forced himself upon numerous goddesses, nymphs, and mortal women,fathering countless children in the process. He assumed many different forms in pursuit of his numerous affairs. He appeared to Leda in the form of a swan, to Danae as a shower of gold, and to Europa as a white bull. Ares, Eleithyia and Hephaistos were the most prominent of his children by his official consort Hera, whom he originally seduced in the form of a cuckoo (although some sources say that it was Hera who seduced Zeus). He fathered Apollo and Artemis by Leto, Persephone by Demeter, Hermes by Maia,Dionysos by Semele, the Horai and Moirai by Themis, the Muses by Mnemosyne, and Herakles by Alkmene. Athena was also said to have been born from his forehead after he had swallowed Metis. Zeus may also have had a homosexual relationship with Ganymede, whom he made the cupbearer of the gods. The cult of Zeus was of universal significance in the Greek world, although his cult was often secondary in individual locations to the local tutelary deity, such as Athena in Athens. Greek households typically had statues of Zeus in their forecourts,and he was often associated with mountaintop shrines. He had temples in every Greek city, two of the more notable being iAthens and at Olympia. His most important festival was at Olympia. The oracle at Dodona in Epirus was dedicated to Zeus. He was depicted as a bearded and physically imposing man of middle age. His most common attributes were the thunderbolt and the eagle.\nAnd finally because so many asked, here is what we think is a complete list of the women he seduced or rape as required to satisfy his lust. Remember there were some men too, but why put them in a list of women? \n\nZephyros\n \nGreek god of the west wind. Son of Astraios and Eos. Believed to live in a cave in Thrace. Known to the Romans as Favonius. \n\nTyche\n\nGreek goddess of fate and fortune. According to Hesiod, she was the daughter of Okeanos and Tethys. In Pindar, Zeus is given as her father. She was often associated with Agathos Daimon, the "Good Spirit", and with Nemesis, the goddess of justice and vengeance. Tyche was depicted with a rudder or a cornucopia, and often with a wheel as a symbol of the transitory nature of fortune and of the fickle character of the goddess herself. She had a temple at Argos, where the first set of dice were said to have been invented. Her temple at Antioch remained intact at least until the reign of the Roman Emperor Theodosius (AD 379-95). \n\nTriton \n\nMinor Greek sea god. He was depicted as a merman, with the upper body of a man and the tail of a dolphin or a fish. Son of Poseidon and Amphitrite. According to Hesiod, he lived with his parents in a golden palace at the bottom of the sea. The Greeks often thought of there being many Tritons rather than just one. His attribute wa

Poseidon controls the sea, is brother to Zues, and father of Triton. At one point in time he claimed Athena was his daughter, but Athena decided she would rather be Zues's daughter since she thought Poseidon quite stupid. He competed with her for Athens, and obviously lost.He spent most of his time racing the waves, which horses are presumabley modeled after, and striking up sea storms. \nHe is the only god that controls water, and the nereids. Not to mention that he was the only one who got a gift with his domain. The old sea god, Proteus maybe?, willingly gave up his underwater palace and his daughter, Amphitrite, to Poseidon and went to live in an unknown sea grotto. I guess you could say he was somewhat peaceful, though prone to violent mood swings.

Athena represented not war but success in battle, and she was highly defeminized. Originally she was depicted as a lesbian, but the ruling men at the time didn't like this because it implied that women were better than men so they made her a celibate virgin instead. It's true that Mars aka Ares was the god of war, but Athena was the goddess of victory, so another thing the philosophers and religious leaders did is make Athena highly masculine and even a woman-hater!
