Mine would have to be Odysseus. My main reason would be because of his intelligence and 'god-like' presence despite only being mortal. What about you guys? It's a topic I've been interested in and wondered how you guys perceive the characters.w

Mine is Orpheus. He went down to the depths of hell and confronted Hades himself to get his girl back.
No one man has ever worked that hard for a piece of dat ass in their life. He is to be congradulated.

Cerberus.
You didn't say it needed to be a hero.
Look at those faces... how can you not love him?

Personal Favorite: Adonis
Honorable mention: Thanatos

Then popped across the chops for pissing it away by looking at her.Shadowstar38 said:
OT: Hades,he just sort of says screw you guys and stays out of all the other God's tomfoolery. He does his job and gets to be left alone with his wife.He's respected/feared and seems to enjoy his solitude.
Couldn't agree more. The only time he ever seems to get involved is when other people come into this territory and start messing with his stuff. Hello people; your friends and loved ones are dead, they don't belong in the land of the living anymore.UncleUlty said:
Example of his great character: Hercules asking Hades for Cerberus, and Hades agreeing so long as he was return unharmed. Decent guy.
Love what the artist's done with the wailing faces... but he just looks too much like a freakin' Airedale terrier! 'Eclpsedragon said:Cerberus.

Needs to be more wolf-ish... -_-
I'm a bit iffy about joining him... he's also the god of ritualistic madness...IamQ said:
OT: Bubo... 'cos he's cute!
EDIT: The funny thing being that here, it's Bubo in Latin... Bubo in Greek is associated with the plague... -_-
I quite enjoy Hephaestus the forge master of the Gods. While technically a God he was immensely weak and considered to be physically lame. Yet he manages to marry Aphrodite (there are numerous views on how this happened, but it did) In Roman belief his name is Vulcan....which for a Star Trek nerd is just awesome.
He also made all the weapons and armor for Gods, and Heroes of Greek Myth. Essentially making him the Q of the Greek World.

Hephaestus because he is a badass who captured and extorted a god into letting him into Olympus with his own intelligence.
Theseus because he seems like a pretty good guy and I like to picture him yelling "I'll wrestle you to death!" at everything.
Bellerophon (the guy who tamed Pegasus) gets a mention because I feel bad that nobody seems to know who he is even though everyone knows his horse.

Hades, guy gets a bad rap for just doing his job especially these days where in movies he gets the villain/devil image.
He was a murderous cannibal. And that was before he got cursed with lycanthropy.werewolfsfury said:
OT; its hard to choose. Mostly because not many of them are particularly nice.
Prometheus seems to me to be a decent fellow, motivated by compassion and a desire to see humans flourish. So naturally he was sentenced to be tortured by Zeus, who also conspired to release all mankind's woes on the world.
Zeus is a dick.
Hades. Everybody usually leaves him alone, and he gets to talk to all the dead celebrities (or at least I assume he does).
