This does list the most important gods and goddesses, but is still concise. Also, it has big text. :) However, it does not list Hades' symbols, which were a helmet and a bident (two-pronged trident). Artemis and Apollo's symbols included the bow and arrow, and quiver. Artemis often had a moon headband/tiara, too.

Hope this helps!

PS Although loggia.com is the first to come up when you type in "greek gods symbols" to Google, it is NOT complete.
