1. Dionysus: he is the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, of ritual madness, fertility,                           theatre and religious ecstasy in Greek mythology.
                     

2. Poseidon: he is one of the twelve Olympian deities of the pantheon in Greek mythology. His main                      domain is the ocean, and he is called the "God of the Sea". Additionally, he is referred to                      as "Earth-Shaker"due to his role in causing earthquakes, and has been called the "tamer of                     horses". He is usually depicted as an older male with curly hair and beard.
                         
3. Zeus: he is the "Father of Gods and men" who rules the Olympians of Mount Olympus, according                to the ancient Greek religion. He is the god of sky and thunder in Greek mythology. Zeus is                etymologically cognate with and, under Hellenic influence, became particularly closely                         identified with Roman Jupiter.
                       
4. Apollo: he is one of the most important and complex of the Olympian deities in classical Greek                        and Roman religion and Greek and Roman mythology. Apollo has been variously                               recognized as a god of light and the sun, truth and prophecy, healing, plague, music, poetry,                 and more. Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress                          Artemis. Apollo is known in Greek-influenced Etruscan mythology as Apulu.
