REMEMBER - Think of the god you are researching IN THE CONTEXT OF ANCIENT GREECE, which means you will also have to do some research on Greek history.

For example, if you are researching Poseidon, it will be very useful to understand more about how Ancient Greek society relied upon the ocean, because this will inform the way the god is "shaped."
