IN conclusion, I bring you the marvelous gods and goddesses of Capital High!



What did we learn children?

        Here are a few facts about the wonderful classmates I have, and details woven into their presentations. Shall I begin? Alright here we go!

1.) Ra(Isabelle)

  • Sekhmet(Hathor), the daughter/creation of Ra, liked her image best when coated in the blood of slain humans. Sekhmet was a tool which Ra used to bring low humankind by culling them. 

2.) Thor (Sidney(Lamb-chop))

  • The chariot of Thor is pulled by two goats, which Thor also eats. After eating them, the goats regrow into their uneaten forms.
3.) Odin(Ethan) 
  • Odin wears two belts. This is not a fashion unique to Asgard but actually both serve individualized purposes. One holds his sword and scabbard, and the other holds the keys to Asgard.
4.)Loki(Rosie)
  • This trickster God is actually the mother of Odin's eight-legged mount Sleipnir. You read correctly, Loki was the mother of a horse, despite being a male. The father is a stallion owned by a giant of unknown origin.


5.)Balder/Cassie

  • The house of Balder is ornate to be for sure, and this is expected. What is rather unusual is that the pillars are made of silver, and the rest is made of gold. In this profusely decadent residence no evil can exist, befitting the characteristics of this gentle Nordic god.
6.)Freya/Rena
  • When Freya couldn't find her Od (her husband) almost all of the plants in the seven realms withered, except for the myrtle Od slept under, that still lived.
7.)Set(Roseanna) 
  • Set is god over numerous elements. He is God of wind, chaos, and sand. The vast ruinous edges of the Earth over which he rules are parched desert, mirroring his traits.
8.) Jade Emperor(Caleb)
  • Before he was an emperor, before he was a god in fact, an enormous demon of great power was slaughtering men across China. All gods who attempted to stop the entity fled in defeat. The jade Emperor used the power of the Tao to destroy the monster with his mind! And eliminating this demon elevated him to god-status.
9.)Coyote(Thomas) 
  • For an eternity, humans were without fire. Coyote gave them this. How did he do it? Well he stole it from rather secretive fire beings of course.
10.)Hermes(Connor)
  • You may know of how Hermes stole Apollo's cattle. You probably don't know that after plundering them, the baby god sliced off their hooves and placed them back on, backwards. And so, Apollo's cattle were forced to walk backwards for a very long time.
11.)Artemis(Annelise)
  • When hunting, Artemis was bathing in a stream in the nude. At this moment the prince Acteon was hunting also, and he happened upon Artemis. He stared at the sight for awhile before Artemis noticed. As soon as her dreadful gaze fell on him, he turned into a deer and fled. Then his dogs caught scent of him and tore him to pieces. There is even rumor that she laughed as the jaws of the hounds bit into Acteon's flesh. How disturbing.
12.) Isis(Maggie)
  • After Osiris was dismembered by his own vile scheming brother, Set, Isis set out to "reconstruct" him. She found thirteen out of fourteen body parts. I will not state what the remaining one was, as it is rather 'private' and leave it up to imagination. So she conjured up a facsimile wrought in gold to replace the missing portion. It functioned fine, and with Osiris, Isis became pregnant with the god Horus. 
13.)Raven(Maxwell(Maximus))
  • As a young little Raven, this deity was severely spoiled. So whenever he cried, he got exactly what he desired. Raven wanted light in the sky. So he bawled and bawled until his grandfather, gave him what we call the sun, the moon, and the stars.
14.)Apollo(Jamie)
  • Many know of the famed oracles that told prophecies of Apollo on the isle of Delphi. These many do not know for the most part of the fierce monstrosity that guards that isle. Pytho is the name of the beast. A giant serpent, it wriggles in the Ionian sea, seeking out those who would harm the oracles.
15.)Horus(Kelsey) 
  • Horus transforms into a lion now and then, despite the fact that he is a falcon god. 
16.)Osiris(Sydney)
  • Day to day, Osiris reads from the book of the dead. In this book is written all the actions of the deceased. As the god and ruler of the underworld Osiris interprets the deeds of the shades. Armed with this judgment, he decides whether they stay in the underworld(normal shade) or go to heaven(good soul). Even worse, he may have the devourer of the dead consume them into nothingness.
