Greek Gods and Maori Gods

I am  writing about greek Gods and Maori Gods so here is some things that i know about them

Greek Gods 

Greek people believe in more than one God they all  have positions or as said like roles like Zeus is the god of the sky and ruler of the Olympian gods and like Hades is  the god of wealth.Greek Gods were also not allowed to have any contacted with there half blood daughters or sons but to keep them safe from the outside world they would go to a special camp for half bloods which means when a God has an baby with an mordol it is safer to go to the camp then the outside world But then they made a rule that no God is allowed to have anymore kids with mordol people but not much gods stuck to that rule.

 Maori Gods 
Maori mythology the Maori gods have two main gods and the Greek god have one god and that is Zeus and his symbol is a lightning bolt and the two main Maori gods are Ranginui and papatuanuku and Rangi’s symbol is the sky and Papa’s symbol is the earth.Also ranginui and papatuanuku had 70 children together but only  of them are ever spoke about and nobody reaally knows who the other 63 children are ,But ranginui and papatuanuku had eyes everywhere like how ranginui is the God of the sky so she watches her children from above and papatuanuku watches out for them from earth so that way they know whats happening.
so that is the things that i know about the maori Gods and the greek Gods 

 similarMaori people believe in kinda the same as Greek people like how Zeus is the God of the sky , ranginui is the God of the sky to the Maori people , whiro is the God of darkness , Hades is the God of evil .They both believe in more than one God .

different things


The different thing about the Greek and Maori gods is that the Greek gods have 12 plus 2 and the Maori gods have 7 plus 2 main gods and that is Ranginui and Papatuanuku and the Greeks main god is Zeus and some of the Maori gods are just the same as the Greek gods, but not all of them. Gods were not allowed to see the half blooded children on the other hand the maori Gods were allowed to see there children but  like ranginui and papatuanuku had 70 children but only 7 are only spoke about and ever mentioned so everyone wonders .
