Greek heroes and lesser gods coloring pages
Welcome to our Greek heroes and lesser gods coloring pages section.
The lesser gods and heroes of Greece may stand in the shadow of the Olympians, but their stories are just as vivid. They personify the winds, the sea, the seasons, and the challenges of being human.
Anemoi coloring pages:
The ancient Greeks imagined the winds as powerful gods racing across the sky.
- Boreas, the North Wind, came roaring with icy breath and swirling snow.
- Notus, the South Wind, rolled in with warm storms and heavy summer rain.
- Eurus, from the East, was unpredictable, sometimes kind, sometimes fierce, forever changing the weather.
- Zephyrus, the West Wind, was the gentle one, carrying the scents of spring and the promise of new life.
Together, the Anemoi ruled the air itself, invisible, unstoppable, and always in motion.

Dionysus Coloring Pages:
Dionysus was the god of wine, joy, and theater. He carried a staff wrapped with ivy, wore a crown of grape leaves, and was never far from music and dancing.

Icarus coloring pages:
Icarus was the son of Daedalus, who built wings of feathers and wax so they could fly to freedom. Soaring high above the sea, Icarus felt the thrill of flight and rose too close to the sun. The wax melted, his wings failed, and he fell into the waves below.

King Midas was a wealthy ruler who wished that everything he touched would turn to gold. At first he rejoiced, but soon he found his food, his drink, and even his daughter changed to lifeless metal. Realizing his mistake, he begged to be freed from his gift and was cleansed in the river Pactolus.
His story teaches that true riches lie in gratitude, not greed.
