The goddesses of the Greek pantheon are divided here into several categories. The first three of these--the Olympian goddesses, Titan goddesses, & primeval goddesses--represent the three different generations of goddesses to rule the cosmos. The next five categories divide the goddesses according to domain, namely the goddesses of sky, sea, earth (i.e. rustic and agricultural) and underworld. The final category contains personifications, those goddesses and spirits which represented abstract ideas, human emotions and conditions.

 

Goddess myths have inhabited the human imagination and spirit for thousands of years, representing the eternally feminine qualities that pattern women's lives.  Each of the goddess myths is different just as each goddess is unique -- motivated by different values and priorities. Each has goddess-given characteristics, both positive and potentially problematic ones.
