As we know there are 12 Olympian deities (wow.. similar to the 12 apostles.. or 12 trives of Isreael! 
!)

Unlike Jesus, these Deities were really just relflections of the human condition (love, war, power, seafaring etc.)
My question is, to those familiar with Greek mythology, who was/is your favorite and why? Who would have your worship, if you believed they existed?
For me, it would be a tie between Athena and Hermes. They seem the least mean-spirited and petty as far as the Greek gods went. I could always use Athena's wisdom, and Hermes himself seems to serve as humanity's benefactor ( in someways...similar to the archnagels Gabriel and Michael..
)
I am surprised Hades/Pluto is not an outright evil deity, he is more just "lord of the dead." Apparently he also helps bless humanity with precious stones and fruits and vegetable
