Poseidon, god of the sea and of earthquakes.

Asclepius and his daughter, Hygeia, who were related to different aspects of healing.

 

I know what you mean RedSox, I met a teacher that thought Hawaii was a single island.

I don't think he was the ruler of earthquakes but he is the god of horses

lets not forget Hercule's the guy who had to take on 7 imposable tasks and the Hydra a 7 headed monster that when you chopped of one 2 grew in it's place Hercules took care of this by cauterizing them although it wasn't his idea it was his cousin? I think? and he killed it. no I don't have a life
