    The Greek gods were many deities that ruled over various domains like Zeus who was king of gods and god of thunder, Hera who was goddess of marriage, and Poseidon who was god of the sea. Unlike the singular concept of God, the Greek gods were flawed beings who could be jealous, angry, and lacked complete power and goodness. Pandora's box contained evils like envy, sickness, hate and injustice that were released into the world. The Greeks believed in these myths to explain origins and mysteries of life that were otherwise unexplainable.
