I think Persephone, if I remember correctly...I'm not sure on that though, so I might have to get back to you on this, but that is my preliminary answer 🙂

I like Athena, she was one tough cookie! lol

Can't remember who Artemis was though; man and I used to be sooooo into this stuff...

"She's definately my favorite goddess. Artemis was the Goddess of the Hunt. She had 50 hounds and 50 Dreiads (wood nymphs) and a quiver full of painless silver arrows. She was the daughter of Zeus and Leto as well as being last of the Three Maiden Goddesses. She was also a part of the Triple Goddess. The Triple Goddess was the Moon in three forms. Artemis didn't carry the moon across the sky, yet she was still known as the moon. Although she was stunningly beautiful, she was very cold and she swore never to marry. She had only one love, a hunter named Orion (and even that's debatable). She was the Protector of Young Women. She was incredibly cool (coming from a young woman).

Well Star, this is what she says about Aphrodite:

"Aphrodite was the Goddess of Love and Beauty. According to The Odyssey she was the daughter of Zeus and Dione, other myths speak of her as springing from the blood of Uranus after Cronus castrated him, and floating on the sea to Greece, where she was met by the Three Graces (who will be discussed later). The latter is the more accepted version. Personally I dislike her because she is exceedingly vain and thinks only of herself. I like to laugh at her eternal beauty and loveliness because she was a great grandmother of another God, Dionysus (who she also had a child by). She was married to Hephaestus, the Smith God, but she lusted after Ares, the much disliked God of War. She was also the patron Goddess of Prostitutes."

LOL 😛

Okay, I've decided I'm Hecate!

"The From-a-far Powerful"

Chtonian Greek Triple-Earth-Goddess,
representing the Maiden, the Mother and the Crone
- all aspects of the Mother Goddess.
Her origins are in Asia Minor,
where she was worshipped as the primary mother goddess.
Later transformed (this is why I chose her, cuz she transformed into these things, lol) into a Goddess of Magic,
Moon and Night, Ruler of Ghosts, Underworld-goddess,
Protectress and Patroness of Magicians,
Fortunetellers and Witches.

I know toons of stuff about this subject...

Artemis was always my favorite... she had spirit and free will. Athena was okay because she was the goddess of knowledge and war but she always seemed like a stiff.

Discord was awesome because she really knew how to do the revenge thing well. Hephaestus was cool too, incredibly ugly but with a sense of humor. I loved dionysus- the god of wine and party pleasure (morgan knows more about him then me). Hades was really sad... Poseidon was really mad all the time... Zeus was an adulterur and Hera was jealous... and on and on
