Who is your favorite deity from all of Historic Mythology?
Who is your favorite deity from all of Historic Mythology?
God
Amen!
Athena is objectively superior.
Loke, because muh ancestors
Thunor or Woden
If it isn't Indo European it's pleb trash
Mars.
Literally a rapist.
Who gets pegged by Athena after every battle.
euphoric
Stop conflating Roman and Hellenistic Gods with one another
Janus
I too love superhero movies
AVE IVPITER OPTIMVS MAXIMVS
>optimus maximus
Clearly compensating for something
pic related is Teshub, storm God of the Hittites. Also known as the patrician's choice of pagan deity:
>wields the mighty thunderbolt
>presides over the weather, ensures healthy people & a good harvest
>strikes down the enemies of Hatti
>would beat Thor in a fight.
...
Hera all the way
The obvious pick, really - but not for the reason you might expect.
Any God that is an agent of change, of becoming, of time and its fleeting
Zurvan from Persia
always made more sense then ahura mazda tbqh
There can be no other.
Julius Caesar
Plato pls
Guan yu
...
Edgy.
Hail Satan.
Hades. Wanted a young qt gf,just stole her and gave her a kingdom.
Hades. He did literally nothing wrong but everyone was afraid of him, he had no temples and his only friend was Cerberus. I just relate to him a grumpy guy sitting in his basement and being shunned by normies.
Myth =/= falsehood lad
ZALMOXIS
Myth implies falsehood
Colloquially but literally myth (from mythos) is better translated as "word" or "story"
Odin, intelligent, nihilistic, and with a wicked sense of humor, just like me.
This might sound edgy but I'm going to go with Loki.
Jesus
Yet I'm sure you're just fine with talking shit about the gods of other religions.
Crom. He gives you courage when you're born, and after that, if you're lucky, you never hear from him again.
Jesus, with Odin a close second
They probably would've been bruvs. Jesus would be the wise older brother, while Odin the younger wild one
The demiurge. Simply because I feel for him. He's cast out and stuck in a world of matter for some shit reason and he gets a bad rap. It wasn't like he chose it, he simply had no choice and doesn't know any better.
Prometheus/any other god that fought on humanity's side or helped us out. I like them for recognizing the divinity of humanity and doing what was right even if they usually get fucked over.
Bacchus. I dont even like wine it is just i love how he acts.
