My favorite Greek God/Goddess is Aphrodite (in Roman' date=' Venus). Goddess of beauty and rises from the foam of the sea.

You know the original version of her born includes an epic battle between Zeus and his father? Then Zeus attacking with his sword, and then the TESTICLES of Chronnos falling to the sea and mixing with the foam.

True story.

My faves are Amun, Nut/Nyx, Mafdet, Seshat, Seth, Anubis, Thoth/Hermes, Osiris/Hades(/Dionysus?), Shu/Uranos and Ra.

 

Ugh too many to choose from but I guess my Nr 1 is Amun.

This thread lacks The Norse Gods.

 

Slifer is actually the executive producer's last name. Thus the joke in TAS.

 

Egyptian mythology is kinky as hell' date=' with people jizzing in rivers and crap.

 

Greek gods are fun, although they're kind of wimps.

 

Norse mythology is the mythology of [b']MEN[/b].

 

This thread lacks The Norse Gods.

 

This.

 

Norse mythology is the mythology of MEN.

 

What Rinne said.

 

If there was a cult today fueled purely by Badassitude' date=' it would be a complete and shameless rip off of the Norse.

Well, technically, the origin of Aphrodite is unknown. In one story, it says that Aphrodite rose from the seafoam near (I tink it was Cyprus but I'm probably wrong.). In another it says that she sprang from Zeus's mind. Then in revenge for dreaming up such a beautiful women, Hera tried to get revenge by making an equally handsome man, but it came out being Hephaestus (Vulcan in Greek Mythology). But he was ugly and expelled from Olympia in disgrace. He then became a blacksmith and then was noticed by the gods and given a place in Olympia as the blacksmith to the gods.

Greek Pantheon > Other pantheons.

Especially Rome's.

Damn rip-offs.

they're like Go-Bots against Transformers.

 

Oh, and yes, I do know the original meaning of Pantheon.

 

Greeks are awesome.

I mean, Kronos/Cronos cut up his own father, who was literally made of Air, into lil' pieces.

Greek mythology is always exciting, but these kidnaps of mortals and goddesses by gods to make their wives is always interesting. Hades kidnaps Persephone, Zeus kidnaps Europa along with many others.

 

Zeus was known to have many affairs behind his wife's back, which is strange because Hera is the goddess of the happily married. This came from the assimilation of local gods to the myths creating many scenes like with Echo, the mountain nymph.

 

Zeus was having an affair behind Hera's back so he got Echo, a mountain nymph who loved to talk, to distract Hera while he was gone. When Hera found out about this deceit, she took away Echo's voice, allowing her only to speak the last word that was said by someone else, thus creating the term 'echo' referring to the sound that is reflected.

 

Also, Morpheus is my favorite god, though he and his family are my favorites in group. Hypnos, his father, was the God of dreams while Morpheus was the god of dreams. Hypnos's brother, Thanatos, was the god of death. These three formed the triangle of sleep. Sleep, dream, and complete sleep, death.
