Greek Goddess Costume Pictures

Greek goddess costumes bring to mind the capricious and vain gods and goddesses of ancient times as well as the stars of films such as Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Clash of the Titans or the television series Hercules: The Legendary Journey and Xena: Warrior Princess.

Choosing Your Greek Goddess Costumes

Among the Greek goddesses to choose from, the most popular tend to be:

• Hera, Queen of the Gods
• Aphrodite, Goddess of Love
• Athena, Goddess of Wisdom
• Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt
• Demeter, Goddess of the Hearth

This statue of Athena graces a square in London, but she is a fantastic example of how to dress as a Goddess. For example, this Athena suggests wearing the traditional Greek chiton with a warrior's helm and girdle.

This simple costume embraces the use of color and drape to create an ethereal Greek goddess figure. With the hints of blue and gold, she might be Thetis, a goddess of the sea.

Hera, the queen of the Greek gods is the wife of Zeus and the patron goddess of marriage. This costume relies on her royalty to pull off the rich gold and red, but the lame cut over the bust is a reminder that the goddess is equally fierce and capricious in her choices.
