lets see
Eris-strife and discord
Megaera-jealousy and envy(erinyes or furies)
Alecto-castigation of moral crimes(erinyes/furies and sister of Megaera)
Ker-female death spirit(s)
Surprised Tisiphone isn't on that list......
gee apart from the fact that they are all female I have no idea(since sarcasm doesn't translate well over the net)
they all have to do with unpleasant parts of life and humanity. Parts that people moreso condone rather than embrace. Unless of course you mean something else by that.
And if you want lesser known Alecto would be my choice. Though mostly she is thought to deal with just anger(brain slightly fuzzy so i think this is correct. Too lazy to google search atm).
I was meaning more with what they represent. I'd rather be a goddess of the hunt rather than love and beauty *scoffs* and Athena has always appealed to me. Ever since having to read The Odyssey in 5th grade.
*meh* The fact that they're all female was incidental... it's what they represent, that I was getting at. Still, if you want male: Thanatos; Hypnos; and Moros. Anyway, yes, Alecto is the spirit of 'implacable anger/rage'. And weirdly, 'Ker' is the singular of 'Keres' but also a name in its own right, she represented death as caused by destruction.
Anyway, 'goddess of the hunt'? Thought that was Artemis... And yah, Athena embodies quite a few cool things: wisdom; war (as a strategist); divine intelligence; and the crafts (interesting mix, eh...).
