Theseus Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Poseidon is such a drag though. Phoebus Apollo is where it's at. The god of Light, Truth, and Prophecy. The Oracle at Delphi was his, but I hated Riordan's picture of Apollo. I guess I always imagined him as more serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akumakagemaru Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 The only one of the eldest three (Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus) that I really like is Hades. I like the water, not Poseidon, don't know why. And Zeus...yeah, he's always kinda struck me as a womanizer, and selfish on top of it. The story of Argus is a prime example of why I don't like him. As for the others...eh, it varies from god to god, but I'm really only interested in Ares (god of war, enough said), Athena (goddess of wisdom, a vital resource; strength is good, knowing how to turn your enemy's strength against them is even better), and Hephaestus (what can I say, i like the idea of blacksmiths, and other equivalents).

Lord Ursus Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I thoroughly enjoy reading about greek mythology, as it has so many fantastic characters and creatures. My favourites among those would have to be the Basilisk and the Gorgon. (Not sure on whether the Basilisk has its origin in Greek myths, though. Care to fill me in?) The tales of Odysseus and Hercules are also interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I rode some greek mythology books and all what i saw was mostly sex , being in love and sex again <.< Lol those greek people were sex maniacs :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akumakagemaru Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Sex maniacs...yes, probably the single most accurate description. As far as I know, the scenes from the series Spartacus: Blood And Sand seem to be fairly accurate, possibly understated. Well, they were ahead of their time, great scientists...and the world's most open "pervs", as you might say it. In other words, we've surpassed them in all respects, sadly.

I just don't like how modern he made Apollo, considering Hermes and Dionysus (if I'm correct) are younger than he is, and Apollo is like a seventeen-year-old. But, otherwise, I think Apollo would be listening to music all the time, considering he's the god of it. But, Apollo was just as sex-hungry as some of the other gods, though definitely not as much as Zeus. Stupid Zeus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
