From what anyone religious icon can, r will, tell us, God has always existed, and that nothing had to create it.  I have asked the same question, and I always come back to Roman and Greek mythology, in which each God/Goddess has parents.  However, if there only is one God, and there were parents, then you have to ask: What happened to the parents?  In my opinion, this question is too difficult to be answered until we can (if we can) ask God itself/himself/herself.  Whenever you find an answer to one question, another pops up.  However, I must say this is a good question.  There are not many good ones out there, so congratulations.

Proteus?\n\n"The sea divinity Proteus, probably another of the older generation of gods, is often named as the attendant of Poseidon or even as his son"

None.  They didn't exist when religious texts were written.

One obvious answer is Christ.\nHowever, the real answer is Peter.  Christ did not worship Christ, and he was a Jew until He died.\nPeter, therefore, was the first Christian, its founder, and its first leader.

:}\nAristotle was Greek and probably believed Zeus to be god \nHe knew that there was some force that caused all things to happen.\nHe did not know what it was, but recognized that there had to be a first cause a first creator an unmoved mover.\nHe knew from observing nature and all things obseverable in the universe\n\nHis recognition is described in the Bible;\nRom 1:19  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them.\n20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:\n\nHe knew but did not attribute it to God\n\na good research site is http://www.abu.nb.ca/Courses/GrPhil/PhilRel/Aristotle.htm

The caudesus was the staff that the Greek God Hermes carried.  He was, among many other things, the patron deity of the medical profession.  That association is still with us, in the form of the two-intertwined-snakes symbol.

As far as I know they only had myths that were first passed on as oral traditions and then later written down. Specific temples might have had writings pertaining to the god who the temple belonged to but I can't see too much of that surviving to present day.

This was there pegan god. People from the past worship different gods and most of these gods are eccentric of animals. Like the sphinx in where it is the combination of a man's head and body of lion with wings of a bird.

I would have to say Enoch.\n\nGenesis 5:24   And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. \n\nHebrews 11:5   By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

A jealous God. A God that said you will have no other gods before Me.

Here's a list I compiled from memory of Hindu Gods/Goddesses compared to Greek Gods/Goddesses.

whoa, I gotta think way back to answer this. Without looking anything up, I just remember that the Pantheon was a large domed building that honored each of the Gods of Roman Mythology by depicting them in big ovals all around the inside ceiling of the building. I think there was something about their placement, like Zeus & Hera were positioned in the middle with his next god of choice to his right & left and ...cannot remember all the significance. Wish I could remember more. Good luck!
