we're learning greek mythology in school right now and I was curious if anyone here had asny opinions on greek gods and goddesses and stuff. so far my fav is artmeis totally not because she has the name of a certain dc superhero and she you know, lives in the woods with animals and hunts stuff and stuff.
so yeah who's your fav greek god?

It is not that obscure, but I do favor Athena. I also think Hecate is fascinating.

Hecate seems cool (thats like dark artemis right?) and yeah athena seems nice. I would totally be buds with her.

know who aphrodite is but who are the others? Themis was a Titan Goddess of divine justice, order and the law, Hebe was the goddess of youth and cub bearer/patron to the gods and Ganymede was her replacement, also the god of homosexual love and attraction

I have to like Poseidon cause he is one of my patron deities but I like Persephone and Artemis. Not greek but Venus( the roman version of Aphrodite ) is one of the deities in my pantheon. If you ever want love try an apple cause its one of her symbols. Psyche is a cool goddess too I love her as well.

Little bit of a hard decision there.

I have a Greek, Roman, and Shinto deities in it so I can't claim to gravitate towards a certain pantheon such as the Greek pantheon or some other. It's a fancy way of saying these deities are a group.

@sapph oh that's really cool! I kind of have my own way of thinking the world works, not quite pagan, but i do believe in many different higher powers, and culturally I'm jewish, so I also kind of believe in one huge God.

I'm one of the rare people who like Hera. Perhaps its an underdog sort of thing. I spent a lot of time studying Hera awhile back and I feel like she is the epitome of unconscious sexism in society. Didn't she try to kill Hercules?

Didn't she try to kill Hercules? Yeah, she did. Multiple times. Then he did stuff for her. They got mad at one another. He served her again. They got mad again. It was pretty ridiculous because the Gods are all petty and the heroes tend to make silly mistakes. I don't condone Hera's actions, She wasn't kind. It's just, a lot of people's attitudes towards her are rather unfair.
