Dioses

When Hera discovered that Leto was pregnant and that Zeus was the father, she banned from giving birth on terra firma, or the mainland, or any island at sea. In his wanderings, Leto found the newly created floating island of Delos, which was neither mainland nor a real island and gave birth there. The island was surrounded by swans. Afterwards, Zeus secured Delos to the ocean floor. Later theisland was sacred to Apollo.
It is also stated that Hera kidnapped Ilithyia; the goddess of childbirth, to prevent Leto gave birth. The other gods tricked Hera into letting her go by offering an amber necklace of eight meters long. The mythography’s agree that Artemis was born first and then assisted with the birth of Apollo, or that Artemis was born one day before Apollo, on the island of Ortygiaand that she helped Leto cross the sea to Delos the next day to give birth Apollo. Apollo was born on the 7th day (ἡβδομαγενης) of Thargelion, tradition or Delia Bisio month as Delphic tradition. On the 7th and 20th, new and full moons, were devoted to him since.
Apollo shot arrows infected with the plague into the Greek encampment during the Trojan War in response to Agamemnon's insult toChryses, one of his priests whose daughter Chryseis had been kidnapped. Apollo demanded their release, and ended up giving the Achaeans, indirectly causing the anger of Achilles, which is the theme of the Iliad.
When Diomedes injured Aeneas, Apollo rescued him. First Aphrodite, his protective mother, tried to rescue Aeneas but Diomedes injured too. Aeneas was then enveloped in a cloud by Apollo, whotook him to Pergamos, a sacred spot in Troy.
Apollo helped kill Achilles Paris guiding arrow arc to heel. One interpretation of this reason is that it was in revenge for Achilles' sacrilege to kill Troilus, son of Apollo with Hecuba, on the very altar of the temple dedicated to him.

Dionysus is a god of mystery religious rites, such as Demeter and Persephone in the city of Eleusis, near Athens.Basjaris carries Dionysus or fox fur, symbolizing the vineyard and fauna. His own rites, the Eleusinian Mysteries, were known by all. Many researchers believe that Dionysus is a syncretism of a local Greek god of nature and a more powerful god from Thrace or Phrygia, as Sabacio.
Herodotus knew that the cult of Dionysus arrived later than the rest of the Greeks, then says:
so, Greek history thatas soon born Dionysus, Zeus took Nisa in Ethiopia beyond Egypt, and as with Pan, the Greeks do not know what became of him after his birth. It is therefore clear to me that the Greeks learned the names of these two gods later than the names of all the others, and the birth place of both in the time when conocieron.8
Many Greeks were certain that the cult of Dionysus arrived in Greece fromAnatolia, but their notions about whether Nisa was located in Anatolia, in Libya ("far east along the great ocean '), Ethiopia (Herodotus), or Arabia (Diodorus Siculus ) variables are enough to suggest that it was intended a distant magic land, perhaps named Nysa, to explain the garbled name of God: 'God of Nisa'. Apollodorus seems to be following Pherecydes, who relates how the infant Dionysus, god ofthe vine, was raised by the rain nymphs, the Hyades at Nysa. However, the name the Anatolian Hittites themselves were given in their own language (nesili) was Nesi. The Hittite influence in ancient Greek culture is seldom appreciated.
The above contradictions suggest to some that you are not dealing with the historical memory of a cult abroad but inherently a foreign god. And indeed, the name ofDionysus appears in Mycenaean tablets in language as DI-WO-NI-SO-JO, 9 and Károly Kerényi10 locates it in Minoan Crete, where his Minoan name is unknown but his characteristic presence is recognizable. Clearly, Dionysus had been with the Greeks and their predecessors a long time, and yet always retained certain character abroad.
