I voted:

Gaia/Pan/Artemis... nature gods (and I like the idea of Mother Earth, and some of Artemis's stories)

Harmonia/Eros... gods of love and harmony (and I like the story of Eros/Psyche)

Apollo/Athena... gods of wisdom, the arts, and civilization (and I like their stories, they also feel the most "Greek")

Hestia/Hephaestus... I like them for actually being humble

Prometheus/Asclepius/Hebe... I like them for actually helping humanity, especially Prometheus and Asclepius

Hades is the only one that isn't much of a jerk and actually does his job.

Anyone not named Zeus.

He's basically Bill Clinton, as a Greek God.

PS: Did you know that his name only consists of four letters?

That means Bill Clinton is a mortal Zeus Tongue
Robert Baratheon also fits the bill.

I almost picked Hades too... but he did kidnap Persephone.

I voted for Prometheus (defied the Gods to help humanity), Zeus (honest upholder of cosmic justice), the Muses (art is everything), Persephone (her story of abduction is one of the most interesting in classical myth), Apollo (the sun is magnificent), Athena (very cool in the Odyssey), Dionysus (the Dionysiac side of humanity is entrancing) and Pan (I love pastoral. O sovereign Pan, thou god of shepherds all...).

Athena seems the most favorite, by far! Anyone want to explain their choices?

Hercules and Hades, same as Thor and Loki and Christ and Lucifer
I hate to break it to you, but the Disney version is not canon (and neither is the MCU version).

And for the Greeks, it was Heracles.
