How do you pick a favorite I mean really. Without Ares I wouldn't have "Veteran's Park"(I have to plug it whenever I can) Without Eros and the Two Aphrodies i couldn't make all of my bad sexual jokes.. It just goes on and on but if I had to pick I would go with Demeter cause I like things that grow

hehe, i absolutely love Artemis; she's one of the few goddesses to have the guts to refuse the advances of anyone and everyone guy-wise, and not let anyone force her into anything. Besides, she's an archer, and archery is only the coolest thing ever ^_^ Also gotta love Thalia; I mean, who doesn't like comedy? ;P

I've always been a big fan of Pallas Athene and the Muses, though I think Morpheus and I see much too much of each other. mmmm, sleep <3

pallas athene for me ^^ i like hermes and hades a lot too of course :-3

I can't decide. Really, it falls between Persephone and Hades. I fell in love with their stories... <3

Hermes, definitely. Also I would like to point out that there are TWO versions of Eros. One version has him being older than all the gods, and the other has him as 'dite's bastard son, god of sex and such. ...<_<...>_>...and in the Greek pantheon he is not a fat little kid, may I add. T_T

I'll have to say Pan is my favorite Greek god, even if he isn't an Olympian resident.

I have to agree that I can't seem to separate Persephone and Hades. Persephone is awesome :D I also like Artemis a lot too, because she's a woman with power and independence!
