Greek god kratos biography of barack obama

  • Kratos -- the power, the right to rule -- comes from demos -- the people.
  • For it was here, 25 centuries ago, in the rocky hills of this city, that a new idea emerged.

    UPDATE 11/23/ I made an updated poster version, with like a dozen extra gods! Buy it here!

    “I’ll just list all the Greek Gods,” I said. “It’ll be easy.”

    I had no idea.

    There are just so many. I had to cut it down, and cut it again, and even then I didn’t finish in time &#; sorry again, by the way.

    So this is not even close to a full list of Gods and Goddesses, to say nothing of all the demigods, mythical creatures, anthropomorphized-concepts, and other things that show up in Greek mythology. Just some of the biggest, most important ones.

    In order of appearance:

    Primodial Deities

    Before there were Gods, there were these God-like anthropomorphized concepts. Most of them don’t come up in pop-culture, I think because they were like five-plus generations removed from the Olympians.

    The audience in the Greek capital, Athens, laughed when the outgoing president said: 'People should be free to choose their own leaders – even if your candidate doesn't always win.'

    But he was making a serious point and added: 'Progress follows a winding path, sometimes forwards sometimes back, but as long as we retain our faith in democracy, our faith in the people, then our future will be OK.'

    He admitted he and the President-Elect 'could not be more different' but he assured Americans he would work with Trump's team in the coming weeks to ensure a smooth handover of power, adding: 'That's how democracy has to work.'
