Rhya - Goddess of Nature, Fertility, Childbirth, and Family Description: Rhya is the wife of Taal, mother of Manann and Verena. Those who worship her view Rhya as the goddess of nature, fertility, childbirth and the family. Others, outside the cult, view Rhya as either a lesser aspect of the Mother-Goddess or a deity who is much diminished so that her worship is incorporated with and overshadowed by Taal. Depicted as a loving mother (and, at times, a pregnant one), Rhya represents the fertility and bounty of the earth and mothers everywhere. To scholars of theological studies, Rhya represents a deity in decline. As such, her exact role in the scheme of divine matters is the subject of much debate. Is she a deity in her own right? Or, a lesser aspect of the Mother dealing with the bearing of children and sowing a crop in the fertile earth? Maybe, she is only the wife of Taal and therefore should be incorporated into his worship. Naturally, the cult is inclined to frown upon those diminishing their deity.

ATHENA The Goddess of Warcraft was, according to some, the daughter of Poseidon and Tritonis (contrary to the usual account in which she springs fully-grown from the head of Zeus). [This is a myth from Libyan Mythology whose native gods were identified with their closest Greek counterparts - Athena and Poseidon www.theoi.com/Olympios/PoseidonFamily

To elaborate further, this is in the form of a crossword. Question 1. has 6 letters and ends in S. Question 2. has 7 letters and the second to last letter is D. Both Staffie and Steve's answers don't fit this. Anymore suggestions?

I tried to search and find a specific answer but it seems that the guy (Poseidon)was VERY prolific. Seriously though, depending on the region, era, etc. there are many deities (and mortals)that are considered his offspring: For a complete list see here: http://www.theoi.com/Olympios/PoseidonFamily.html I'm leaning towards Rhode or Benthesikyme but I'm not sure.

Poseidon is the clue that tells me you are working in Greek mythology. He had a lot of sons be various humans and gods, Athena is sometimes called his daughter. She is the goddess of the hunt and therfore could be called the goddess of nature.

I think I have your answer, my daughter has the same questions on a crossword puzzle - 6th grade language arts. I found the answer - beautiful young godesses of nature are nymphs. Daughters of Poseidon is Nereids. The answers work in the puzzle - I'm sure it's too late for your daughter, but maybe it will help someone else!
