Ngl Athena is based.
No Luna yet, you’re all heathens.
Luna is the Roman one, you mean Selene.
Thanks for the correction, I tend to use both indiscriminately
If worshipping them doesn’t cause them to exist, I’ll worship one that isn’t much effort, maybe one of the minor gods?
Dionysus all the way, baby! There’s no problem I can’t fuck or eat my way out of!

I love that Dionysus in the new Percy Jackson is played by Jason Mantzoukas. Dude screams Dionysus energy.
Hekate for sure. Goddess of magic, necromancy, the crossroads. Plus you get doggies to hang out with you all the time!
This is me, too.
As a bonus, probably super easy to recruit for her. “Witchcraft and puppies” would get lots of people’s attention.
Hades. Hardly ever leaves the Underworld, thus cutting down on the risk of me having to be his champion.
Caconically the wealthiest God, so you know the Saturnalia hamper will have an entire ham in there.
What if he is getting challenged in the underworld like bi weekly and he keeps sending your post cards with dates you need to come down and fight for him?
Dear Hades, I resign. I’m going to live with Circe on her island.
Until someone comes looking for the soul of their lost love.
GOD how I love the animated Hercules movie. It’s a masterpiece.
Orpheus and Eurydice would like a word.
Sure, but that’d be in the Underworld and therefore Hades’ own problem.
Hermes married Aphrodite after stealing cattle the day he was born. God of thieves and general mischief maker. A lot like Loki, but without all the Daddy issues.
Considering Zeus’s children are destined to overthrow him, I think daddy issues are baked in.
There’s a good chance I’m misremembering, or mixed two things together, but weren’t Zeus and his bros the children that overthrew Kronos and the Titans?
Yeah, it’s kind of a cyclical thing. Kronos was destined to be overthrown by his son so he ate him. Zeus is also destined to be overthrown by one of his sons and is a tyrant because of it. He can’t help but screwing everything he sees though, so his character flaw will eventually end him.
I think it’s a commentary about sex being power and power seeking being the eventual downfall of the powerful.
Cool. That’s great info! Thank you!
Yes, Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Hades, and Hestia are the children of Kronos and are the ones that killed him .
Also Demeter. 3 sons and 3 daughters.
I never studied the myths but I’ve always liked to think that the worship of Zeus et al was as messy as the worship of Jesus. The same way we have huge religious wars between Protestants and Catholics, there would have been people dying over whether Zeus was the God of Thunder or the God of Lightning.
Hera.
Lacking some of the more intriguing gimmicks, perhaps, but political clout out the wazoo. Get her on your side, ain’t nobody going to risk fucking with you.
Fuck that’s like the one culture that didn’t just straight up steal my primary deity (Ishtar) upon hearing about her.
So I guess I’d go with Gaia. The great thing about Gaia is i know the earth exists
Hekate is a second though. Midnight rituals are great.
Dionysus, God of sex and alcohol!
Tyrion Lannister would be proud
Hephaestus seems the most likely to leave me alone. The gods are so capricious that I’d prefer to not have their attention.
Talos for the win!
Poseidon. First off, he fucked dudes so I’ve got a chance. Second, I’m from an island and heavily respect the ocean already. Third is I wanna get railed floating in the middle of the ocean.
Least horny Lemmy user.
It’s the chastity
Based
BDSM. Fuck yeah.
I’d pick Apollo, the most sciency guy of the bunch.
Nyx. Her children are all the personifications of various negative aspects of life. I‘ve got a bit of a pessimistic attitude. Just seems fitting.
Hypnos lol
