Poll: Your Favourite Greek God?

[Scarim Coral]

Wow I'm the only one who voted for Apollo so far? Well ok I don't know why I voted for him but guess I like the warm and bright sun during the day sometimes (when I'm outside).

 

[StormShaun]

Just God...yeh

OR Kratos because he is the GOD OD WAR...

 

[Xixikal]

Personally, I'm all for Eris, goddess of discord... and I didn't even put her in the poll...

 

[The Salty Vulcan]

Hades. He was pretty much just a normal guy, and I just happen to like the Everyman characters. I think the only two incidents he's ever caused are the Rape of Persephone and the Death of the Man who would go on to become the God of Medicine. I really hate how the media often portrays him as evil. The God of War games being the worst offenders.

 

[Count Igor]

Pluto.
Or Hades.

 

[darth.pixie]

Hermes. Because he's invaluable even as he pisses off almost every other god.

 

[Azure-Supernova]

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

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.

Eh, they're two different primordial deities. Wit Tartarus being the awesomer =P

 

[Deadyawn]

oops wait. Sorry little mistake here please ignore this post

Big up Athena! She's a total babe, let's face it.
But nah, I've been studying The Odyssey and she was a total lad to Odysseus so of course I'm gonna choose her.

Sorry, put Tartarus in bold to mean Tartarus = Erebos/Erebus (however you want to spell it) and Chaos was his old man... o_0'

Personally, I'm all for Eris, goddess of discord... and I didn't even put her in the poll...

Love the name, don't love the concept. Though I'm wondering what would be worse: just her; or all her children (oh, they were a terrible bunch, trying to imagine what it'd be like to foster them... LOL).

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!

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.

Ok, fine I'm stupid. But you put Kratos on that list so I think that "other" could potentially include Thor and Anubis. And Peter Molyneux. So I'm sticking with Chronos thank you very much.

Athena, because wisdom appeals the most out of all of those.

No doubt. But fostering any one of the greek pantheon would be hell - they're all horrible people, and, as imagine, were horrible children. Human children are bad enough, but god-children would be the cause unimaginable stress and mental anguish.
Then again, I love how Eris just messes things up for no apparent reason, what joy to wreak such unparalleled chaos as a god - she's the ultimate Chaotic Neutral.

i like you. have a cookie.

and yes, hades is not only the coolest god, he should have been right up there with zeus and poseidon. the three of them were the original brothers, after all.

Depending on where you read you'll note that they're two seperate deities and both come together to personify different levels of Hades.

(Hesiod don't fail me now >.<)

 

[Cobez]

Why did you leave out hades on that list

 

[Azure-Supernova]

Ok, fine I'm stupid. But you put Kratos on that list so I think that "other" could potentially include Thor and Anubis. And Peter Molyneux. So I'm sticking with Chronos thank you very much.

Don't back down buddy! Cronus and Chronos are still Greek deities (Elder God and Protogenoi respecitvely) and deserve to be listed

 

[ramboondiea]

bacchus (Dionysus) the greco-roman god of whine and orgies...i mean whats not to like? ha

 

[Yopaz]

Poseidon, he's just the coolest, he sinks ships and has an awesime name,

Not stupid, misinformed maybe
I was kinda limiting it to the Greek pantheon, so Thor and Anubis are a bit excluded... and I suppose if Molyneux was greek it would be conceivable that he could be a god to some people...maybe.
But I agree, Chronos was an epic titan of epically awesome proportions - probably shoulda been a god, but then again, he was just too cool for that.
