Greek/Roman God!!

[sokka14]

i would be artemis, with the power of CELIBACY

My fav would be Heracles (yes he did ascend to Mt Olypus eventually). He's got some of the best stories behind him, and more than just his labors. All the gods had human faults in Greek myths, but he was the only one who ever felt bad for some of the stuff he did (such as killing his family in a Hera-induced rage...) so that puts him a good click more decent then the rest too.

Problem with greek mythology is that it all differs from sources.
Euripides and some other sources tells us that he died a mortal in Athens after his madness killed his own children and wife.

I'd be Apollo if I was to be a greek god, and then proceed to punch the shit out of Paris, Hera and Agamemnon for bringing about the fall of Troy.

it's more that in the plays, the writers took the common myths and manipulated them to make a point.
in other words there was no set way of telling the stories.

Dionysus.

Free wine for everyone!

I'd be Bacchus, that way I could have the wine but not be gay!

hey!
homosexuality was not practised by ALL in ancient greece...

Indeed. Pericles was famous for his relations with women, plus a great general and all that. Still though, I think the fact you picked Dionysus says a lot about your "lifestyle."

Im torn between Apollo and Ares

Apollo is a well rounded healer, athlete and warrior, and can also see the future and is the most intelligent god. However Ares was not well liked by the Greeks and was the god of blood lust, he was liked a lot by the Romans as Mars, but the main reason is because hes married to the goddess of sex and passionate love. I could but up with a few critics in that circumstance.

 

[T-Blade]

Ares.

 

[Mana Fiend]

I'm gonna have to back Apollo here. We al know he was the best, it just that the others had slightly cooler powers.
Failing him, Poseidon. Oceans and Horses; two random combinations if ever there was one.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Ares. War, and screwing the goddess of love.

pan
those who know who this is will know why

Pan was actually Dionysus in a different form.

Thats not the way ive learnt it, not to contradict you if you have a link that i could read would be good as im now intrigued

 

[OmegaXIII]

Hades, with James Woods' voice.

 

[Jiggabyte]

Obviously Robigus, god of rust and mildew. Beats pansy lightning or fire, right?
...Fine, Janus, who is apparently the god of doors (i.e. paths and choice.) Can't describe that, he's too adaptive.

 

[Grayjack]

Thanatos, the personification of death.

 

[Pimppeter2]

I am greek, so


Pimppeterus. The god of sexyness.

 

[Jiggabyte]

Thanatos, the personification of death.

Fun fact: I almost registered to this site using that name, then realised it was a bit pretentious.

 

[evilartist]

Dionysus.

Free wine for everyone!

That, FTW!

 

[ChocoFace]

If I had to make one up:
either
a) Ironius - God of Irony. Ironically, I would only have power over things which are in no way ironic.
b) Antra - God of music. I would have power over sounds and can use sounds to create events i.e. a combination of sounds which is haunting and sad would call forth wailig ghosts that cause great waves of depression, while making a musical piece which is uplifting and lively would cause harvests to grow, women to have healthy babies, food to be delicious, everyone to be enrgetic etc etc you get the idea.

If I had to choose one of the real ones I would choose Poseidon, as I do love me some storms and waves.

Thank you for helping me make up my mind - Antra has what sound like my kind of powers

There's as many sources of the Greek Legends as there are Legends themselves. I'd suggest listening to Elizabeth Vandiver [http://www.teach12.com/storex/professor.aspx?id=33] on her course in Classical Mythology to see why Pan is and isn't Dionysus.

Most taught myths focus primarily on the most popular ideas and leave out cross-cultural references.
