Unlike Jesus, these Deities were really just relflections of the human condition (love, war, power, seafaring etc.)
Quote: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
Who are your favorite Greek gods?
Athena. I have thing for smart and sexy women.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
