If you want, feel free to write a few words explaining why.

In the chronological order they became meaningful to me in some way: Poseidon, Hermes, the Muses, Hestia, Bia, Zeus, Aphrodite
>>
>>25584217
Apollo. I just like how he balances power, violence, and creativity.
>>
>>25584217
Aesculapius.

The Muses. Music arts, often music, a hideous nominalification (or nominalization if you're retarded) of an adjective, is all art inspired by the Muses, etymologically speaking.
>>
>>25584217
Apollo. He's practically the god of civilization.

Artemis is perpetually a prepubescent girl. You are a pedophile.
>>
>>25584648
Hebe though
>>
>>25584650
LOL no.
She is Apollo's twin. Apollo is not portrayed as an 11 year old. She was remade a "virgin" by Zeus' once he assumed power. Only Hera and Aphrodite were allowed sex, first as his wife, second as whore of love.
But subsequent tales of Artemis show her to be implicitly lesbian, in the company of her girls, hostile to men peeping on them.

You must be a pedophile to jump at that conclusion with nothing to back it up
>>
>>25584626
Selene is associated with the full moon and pregnancy. The crescent moon is the young woman/maiden/virgin phase and also looks like a bow which also gets mixed up in the Artemis myth
(And Hekate the blacked out new moon of old/dead woman)
>>
>>25584217
I feel like it'd have to be Aphrodite if just for the sheer number of Greek stories I enjoy that has her fingers in the pie. She's gaudy, petty, a total brat of a Goddess... But she's also such a straightforward woman that I can't help but want to worship her.

I’ve always said if I had to pick a patron I’d pick Athena. Through the stories I’ve seen of her (particularly those with Odysseus), she strikes me as the most ride or die and helpful. Maybe she pops off a little and turns people into spiders sometimes, but it seems if you put in the effort to embody her virtues she gets involved. Zeus will sell you out if Hera asks, Aphrodite can get whooped by a human, but Athena will plant her spear in the ground and cover you with her shield.
Would also hang with Dionysus, seems like a rad dude. Shout out Prometheus too.

Hard to pick. Sometimes it's

— Hestia

because she's the only one who's actually kind and pleasant. And she is the goddess of the hearth and the home i.e. she is literally the queen of comfy. (Plus the pig is one of her sacred animals and pigs are the best animal.) But other times, I have to say, it’s

— Aphrodite

because she's just a delicious emptyheaded blonde babe who never pretends to be anything else.

He’s the son of Zeus and thus considered a demigod if we’re going to fight about it, but I’m not autistic and he’s a hero not a god so I agree with you. I chose to disregard the OP’s instructions because I considered them guidelines and not rules. I’m surprised it took this long for someone to bitch.

Also, Heracles, the real “Hercules” is a true story of tragedy. Heracles wasn’t a clean cut good guy like Perseus who went on epic adventures and used his wits, talents, and magic charms to survive and ended living happily ever after in the stars in the night sky with his beloved wife. Heracles was a violent brute who murdered people for insults and shit and was driven mad and then slaughtered his entire family like one of those guys on the news. Then his second wife accomplished him and he died in agony.

For some reason modern pop culture decided to pull a switcheroo with the names and personalities

He also genocided the amazonians.

>He’s the guy everybody thinks Heracles was.
Herakles is a latecomer to the Greek myths, and a terrible one at that.
By his name you can tell he was Hera's little runt, and some misogynist invented the trash stories about him. Those writers took from older myths. It's garbage though.
