Favorite god in Greek Mythology?

Which one, and why?

I like Prometheus as well.

However for some reason I've always had a sympathy/respect for Hades. A lot of times he has a reputation for being "evil" just because he rules the underworld. When he actually never wanted to rule the underworld- it was his duty and his fate to humbly spend the rest of eternity in the dark, dank, dusty underworld which he was forced to accept. Of course, he did kidnap his wife Persephone- surprisingly she ended up not minding it because of how spectacular he treated her- and even then, unlike the more cruel (and more glorified) Gods would have done, he agreed for her to spend half of every year in the gorgeous fields from which she came. Unlike Zeus and Poseidon who turned into various horses and raped unsuspecting, lovely mortal females.

Hades was one of the only faithful Gods- and contrary to popular belief not an "evil" being- just one who was dedicated and accepting of the job that was given to him.

I'm sorry but I've got to go with Zeus

🙂 Despite all the wrong he did, he's probably the most misunderstood of them all. Just like our sign 😛

GREAT question.

Going against the grain...
I'm more of a fan of the heroes rather than the Greek Gods themselves. The stories of the Greek heroes are usually ones of them defying the Gods, their wishes, and fate. I love that shit.

Odysseus
A hero who ultimately wants to go home to the love of his life and his family. Plus he had a bad ass faithful dog named Argus

Jason
With his Argonauts.

Atalanta
Not a favorite but I always liked her. She was the ONLY woman with Jason on the search for the Golden Fleece. She's a bad ass archer if I remember right.

Aphrodite on odd days, Athena on evens.

Has Apollo been mentioned?

APOLLO - one of my favourites!

God of light, music, arts, knowledge, healing, plague and darkness, prophecy, poetry, purity, athletism, manly beauty, and enlightenment. He is the son of Zeus and Leto, and the twin brother of Artemis. As brother and sister, they were identified with the sun and moon; both use a bow and arrow. In the earliest myths, Apollo contends with his half-brother Hermes. In sculpture, Apollo was depicted as a very handsome, beardless young man with long hair and an ideal physique. As the embodiment of perfectionism, he could be cruel and destructive, and his love affairs were rarely happy. His attributes include the laurel wreath and lyre. He often appears in the company of the Muses. Animals sacred to Apollo include roe deer, swans, cicadas, hawks, ravens, crows, foxes, mice, and snakes.

Hmm interesting proof and derivation. Ha!

I grew bored of Greek Mythology.

Norse mythology seems much more interesting....more known to feature Thor and Loki but my favorite god is Balder, the god of Light and Love, son of Odin and Frigga. The kindest and gentlest of all gods and loved by all save for Loki.

I don't recall him ever being featured in the movie Thor though...so that movie sucks by default.
