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.

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?
