Prometheus:
He was the one who created man and sacrificed himself by providing us with fire from the gods. He made Zeus look almost as nasty as Yahweh from the Bible. It took Heracles, a later son of Zeus, to eventually free Prometheus from his bind as Zeus never really planned on ever releasing him himself.

I would like to be a Greek God, not worship one.

I'm a fan of Apollo. Can't go wrong with the god of music and the Sun.

I mean according to the mythology. Yes we can go to the top of Olympus (And if you really have been there then that's pretty cool). Just like we've been above the clouds and seen there is no dome on which Yahweh's throne sits.
To be fair, I've not been to the Mt Olympus in Greece (although I've been to Athens). I meant the Mount Olympus Ski Area near Christchurch. Lovely place.
