If you were living in ancient Greece which deities would you pay homage to?

I've been thinking about this a lot lately for some reason. In my case, I think: Pan, Artemis, and Dionysis.

@dragon wench-I have a feeling that a lot of the posts here would have Aphrodite in them

Oh no you don't, @Craig. There were a hundred or more. Name which ones you would worship, like a good little Greek soldier (probably a Spartan).

I would go for Aphrodite (aka Venus

)
she was the one who got the golden apple after all.

and if i have some time left i would also probebly go for Pallas Athena. (because she is the guardian of my all time favorite hero: Oddisieus

)

I would say Hippocrates or Ares, I know it's two extremes but I liked them, also Morpheus, I love sleep!

Does anyone know the pantheon in full?

Personally - Eros, the god of love. According to Plato's symposium, however, he is male. How he may be related to Aphrodite I'm not sure. Perhaps their domains interlap?

@Eminem, this is not my area, but I seem to recall that Eros is actually Aphrodite's son. Others better versed in this subject will no doubt confirm or correct that.

I thought Aphrodites son was Cupid?

Cupid is the Roman name of Eros, just like Minerva is Pallas Athena in Greece.

Any thing for cool? a god called cool

Thx Minerva.

Maybe Hera aswell for the worship.

Aegis · Post by **Aegis** » Sun Jul 22, 2001 2:45 pm

What? You mean I'd have to worship them? Isn't there one for the Dark lord of Evil spam? How come I ain't worshiped?

She is a lovely goddess, I think.

She's particularly fond of a man, who's handsome, intelligent, powerful, witty, gorgeous.... Err, what else?
