Odysseus...what a story....always so near to getting home but so far....

elektra dunno but i like the hlektra natchios the assasin but in greek myth she was the one who killed her mother for having an afair to another man, betraying her father.. and psyche and ofc her husband eros :D if you hear their love story it was juz awesome :)

Euterpe - cuz she's the music muse... Dionysus - cuz he's the party guy...

Poseidon , god of the sea,ruler of the oceans.What vast power to control the waves and all inhabitants.

Persephone - love the story about spring. And Pandora, because of her innocent curiosity.

Apollo and Artemis. [Written in my own words, except for the parts in "". I do not know what book they came from, it's just something I remembered.] Apollo- The sun god. He was also the god of medicine and music. He was the patron of poetry, mathematics, and prophecy. He was "radiantly beautiful." Supposedly, he was one of the most magnificent gods. He carried the sun across the sky with his golden chariot, and fiery stallions. He was also known as the "Lord of the Golden Bow." Artemis-Apollo's twin sister. She was the goddess of the moon. Silver belonged to her (as gold belonged to Apollo). She rode the night sky in a silver chariot, drawn by white stags. She shot arrows of silver light with her silver bow. She was also the goddess of the hunt. She "ran in silver sandals down mountain slopes and through forest glades, followed by a troop of laughing dryads." She was also the "Lady of Wild Things." She punished those who killed what they could not eat (poachers). Animals were sacred to her--particularly, the lion, bear, wolf, and wild birds.

Cassandra of troy , because she could see the future and i have always some how felt drawn to her .

Medea. She was either an evil bitch or a strong, powerful woman who sacrificed everything when her heart was broken. I think this was one of those myths that the Greeks had to explain why it was a bad idea for women to have power (rather like that of Clytemnestra, who was also somewhat justified but far less brutal in her plot to kill her husband Agammemnon for sacrificing their own daughter to the gods (and because she'd been commanding a city with his half-brother Aegisthus (and shagging him)for 10 years and wasn't about to stop). Quick recap on Medea: She was daughter of King Aeetes of Colchus. Jason and his band of Argonauts came along looking to get their hands on the Golden Fleece. Aeetes told Jason that he couldn't have it unless he performed three tasks. Medea helped him. I figure she must have really hated her father, because when they fled Colchus, she cut her own brother up into pieces and threw them over the side of the boat - thus stalling her father because he had to stop and pick up the pieces for proper burial. Other myths have her inciting the daughters of the King of Iolchus to boil their father in a pot and eat him. Once she and Jason got to Corinth, they had a few kids. Then Jason decided to go off and marry the princess of Corinth. Enraged and distressed by this betrayal - she had, after all given up everything for Jason, left her father and killed her own brother - Medea sent a poisoned item of clothing to the princess as an engagement gift. The girl put it on and either got eaten up by acid or burned to a crisp. This wasn't enough though. Medea had to hurt Jason as much as he had hurt her. So she killed their children and ran away.

John 'Bluto' Blutarsky.

Of the Heroes: The Red Fox of Ithaka. Odysseus is definetly the smartest of all the heroes. His story was the first I read, at the age of 8 or something and I never switched loyality. Of the Gods: Athena. she's so cunning and smart. she was my idol at some point when I was younger. I remember dressing as her at a costume party when I was 11 and nobody knew who she was.

Dionysus, because he's the god of wine and ecstasy. His followers were called the Maenads (bacchae). These were women who would work themselves up into ecstatic rages through music, dance and alcohol, and they would indulge in orgies, animal mutilation and bloodletting.

I've always been quite fascinated by Medea, the way her love for Jason turns into such intense hate. But ultimately I think the Sybil at Cumae is my favourite. The God Apollo fell in love with her, and offered to grant her anything she desired, she picked up a handful of sand and asked to live for as many years as grains of sand in her hand. Apollo granted her wish but only offered eternal youth if she offered him her virginity, this she refused, and so she lived forever in a cave growing older and lder and more withered, wishing only to die. "Now the joy of springtime is past and weak old age with it's trembling gait is upon meage to be long endured. I have lived seven hundred years but still have to see three hundred harvests and seasons of vintage to equal the number of grains in the pile. The time will arrive When the length of days shall shrink my body from all it has been to a tiny frame, and my age-worn limbs be reduced to the weight Of a feather. Then no one will ever believe that I once was adored and desired by a god. Yes even Phoebus may fail to recall me or else he'll deny that he loved me. So changed, so invisible. Yet the fates will leave me my voice, the voice by which men will know me." (from Ovid "Metamorphoses"- one of my favourite pieces of classical literature, written in Latin, but the essence of the Greek story is there - says a lot about the nature of time and aging I think.)

I like the Trojan war stuff.

Apherdites b/c well I do I mean the goddess of beauty and love. One of my friends likes hermes but I think thats only b/c he has the winged sandals.. lol

Diana aka Artemis because she's strong and she promotes chastity which is a unique quality of a Greek god/goddess (e.g. the incest between Zeus and his sister, Hera). She's also the moon.

Goddess: Athena God: Hades Hero: Hector Heroine: Atlanta Titan: Helios/Kronos

Pegasus because I love horses. Non-animal: Hephaistos because he had much adversity to overcome.

Orestes... Because he tamed the furies and was very very misunderstood. *See my profile pic!

Theseus....after reading the novels of Mary Renault.."The King Must Die" and "The Bull from the Sea". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_Must_Die http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bull_from_the_Sea

I like Helen of Troy because she's always running herself down like a nutter in public. One of life's innocents who absent mindedly sparked of a ten year bloodbath.

Poseidon God of the sea and storm....

Dionysus - Most people think he's lame but he can fricken strangle stuff with grapevines and he loves to party i mean whats better then that?

Persphone. She was seen as like the double agant. She was queen of the Underword, and goddess of spring. Strange isn't it. She made of been forced to marry her Hades (who her mother was againt) but when the Minthe started bosting that she will be a happy being a full year Queen of the Underworld both her and Demeter turned that nymph to a mint plant.

i to will have to go with the master of improvisational strategy, Odysseus
