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

Anyone not named Zeus.

He's basically Bill Clinton, as a Greek God.
That means Bill Clinton is a mortal Zeus Tongue
Robert Baratheon also fits the bill.

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


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

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.
