And why?

Mine is Prometheus, because he gave mortals gifts and he believed we should be equal to the gods.

Also Dionysus cause I love wine!

And of course Aphrodite, the god of love

Please be advised: You can choose more than one god if you choose

Hades! All the way, I even have his name written on my wall. Oh and his symbols are on my wall as well. Why? You may ask, because he is powerful and in charge of the darkest thing there is. . .The underworld. <3

Honestly, mine is Nyx, the Greek goddess of the night or Keres which are female spirits of death.... but mainly Nyx is my favorite, because I LOVE the night and darkness..... it is also one of my nicknames lol XD

I chose Artemis and Hera...probably because they are both gutsy and brazen and I've always admired that, probably because I'm not.

Nothing against you but one that really should have been mentioned is Apollo. The sun god, god of the arts (and father of the Muses) and twin brother of Artemis, and father of more minor gods than any other. Worse than his dad. If mythology would have continued, Zeus was scared he would eventually take over.

Well, I did this list by memory, I really should have researched it. I was bound to miss some. If you guys have any others to add feel free to do so.

I like Athena. She was a weaver, and the source of the myth about Arachne.

Hermes...because he is the deliverer of flowers, among other things.

If I could choose a close second, it would be Athena. Because I've been to Athens, the Acropolis (the site of a temple dedicated to her, which amazingly stands---still, to this day), and adore Greek culture....and, wisdom is considered to have a price "above rubies." (-the Bible). Wisdom is a very good thing.

Eris, Goddess of Discord and Chaos. She wasn't invited to a party on Mt. Olympus, so she decided to use her powers to turn the guests on one another using their own faults. Can't get any better than that!

Artemis, goddess of the Hunt. Strong and wise, connected with the wild, with the earth and sky, a part of the living world and all of its cycles - dreaming/conception, birth, life, death, and rebirth.

I see she is popular, that's so cool! I always thought she was a strong god.

It might be because the thread is really old, and you voted for Poseidon already I checked it. In fact you were the only one! I just bumped this one up from a few years ago. Sorry about that. I don't know why more people didn't vote for Poseidon he is really cool!
