Poll: Your Favourite Greek God?

[Xixikal]

So your favourite god/dess in Greek mythology and why.

*sorry, no Hades.. can't seem to add another option, help would be appreciated

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Neither.

Too much inbreeding for my tastes.

 

[dohteM]

Speedy Gonzales.

Neither.

You do realise that inbreeding is prety much the basis for all mythological deities...?

Athena, because I'd really like to have Bubo as a pet!

Otherwise, you didn't mention him but: Morpheus... because I've been watching Inception today.

Athena - Lots of cool things are named after her. Most importantly the Athena Canon from Red Alert 3.

I ain't down if I can't vote for Hermes :/

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Artemis, hence my cat's name.

Ergo, I'm not a massive fan of most deities.

My vote would be for Hermes. But at the same time, many of the Greek gods were pretty cool so it's tough to pick just one.

Athena--Goddess of Wisdom *and* the Art of Combat...and she gave us the horse...and she is awesome in every way. If I weren't an athiest, I'd be worshipping her.

 

[SomeLameStuff]

I'm partial to Artemis, probably due to Artemis Fowl. Yes, I know they have little to do with one another, but SHUT UP.

 

[Necrik]

Artemis for the win!
No other deity EVER was so damn awesome without even trying!

 

[KiKiweaky]

Poseidon is a proper name for a god. Has an aura of power about it.

 

[Lerasai]

Hephaestus because he needs some love~

 

[SckizoBoy]

Meh, to each his own, I take mythology for what it is... a set of quaint (if incoherent) fairy tales. *shrug*

OT: If he was a god, Thanatos, but he ain't (yeah, just a 'daemon').

 

[Palademon]

No Hephaestus?

The Godly power of...HAMMERING METAL!

 

[Azure-Supernova]

Fuck the Gods, they're rebellious pussies! Give me Chaos or Tartarus any time

 

[Deadyawn]

Where the hell is Hades? How can you have a rundown of greek gods without Hades? And Chronos is missing as well! And thats just a couple of the more famous ones that I can think up at the moment. Seriously though, Chronos is pretty awesome. He handled birth control the Chuck Norris way! He ate his children! And then he was betrayed by his wife...You know, I never realised before what a sad story that is. Poor bastard, all he wanted was to not be usurped by his children so he could rule the universe forever, but no, his wife had to ruin it didn't she? Evil, evil women...Er, I mean, uhhh...please don't kill me!

AKA Erebos (*so* prefer that name, got a slightly more tragic ring to it). And no, nothing to do with the Word Bearer's First Chaplain.

OT (again): Kratos wouldn't actually that bad a choice come to think about it (personification of strength & power, apparently), though points for his little sister Nike.

Chronos was a Titan, therefore, not included. And Hades wasn't part of the Dodekatheon (Twelve Olympians)... but I suppose he's part of "other" 'cause he's such a cool cat.
