Who's your favorite Greek Myth Deity?

[Gryffindorian]

I'm only going to list the Olympian gods of ancient Greece. Who's your favorite Greek god?

Also, if you could be a "god" of an ancient civilization, who would you be and what would people call you?

Err ... Why did I post it here? I meant to start this thread in MISC. Help!

EDIT:

Hard to choose between Poseidon and Hermes, but I chose Hermes.

 

[TGTheodore]

Gotta go with Hermes, the messenger.

He's the funniest character in my pilot script Olympus.

--Ted

 

[Cicero]

Athena.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Definitely Apollo, the God of music, medicine, health, candy bars and moon shots.

 

[C.E. Evans]

I always had a fascination with Athena, but Artemis has been getting my attention of late too...

 

[iguana_tonante]

Gotta be Athena, Goddess of reason and righteous ass-kicking. And she was the best thing about Saint Seya.

 

[Goliath]

My favourite--Pan--is not on your list.

 

[Cicero]

^ Pan isn't generally considered an Olympian.

 

[Goliath]

^ Pan isn't generally considered an Olympian.

Well, then--screw them.

Elitist bastards.

 

[backstept]

Hephaestus . . . he makes things

 

[CorporalClegg]

Another vote for Hermes. The guy is just awesome!

 

[Daedalus12]

Zeus because he is a player and he shoots thunderbolts.

 

[barnaclelapse]

Hades. I always liked the back story.

 

[RevdKathy]

Gotta go with Aphrodite.

 

[NileQT87]

Not my pomegranate-eating Persephone?

Okay. Hades, then.

 

[Lonemagpie]

Nemesis: "A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible cunt... me"

 

[judge alba]

Aphrodite gets my vote, I think she was the goddess of love or was it Venus? I always get them mixed up

 

[Daneel]

^^^^I see what you did there.

I'll go with Athena -- she's the goddess of wisdom, so you know she's a smart cookie, but she's also the goddess of war, so you know not to fuck with her. Plus I visited Athens last year.

I almost went with Dionysus, though -- wine, women... what's not to like?

 

[Kirk's_Tights]

Aphrodite gets my vote!
