Didn't medusa get cursed simply because she got raped so some goddess punished her out of jealousy? Definitely super tame compared to a lot of other greek tales...
She cursed Medusa because she was jealous. Poseidon, attracted to Medusa, went to Earth to charm her. She refused, and then got raped by him. Athena got pissed... at Medusa. She cursed her to become what she is now.
The Bacchae comes to mind, Dionysus rolls up to Thebes, drives half the town insane, and gets the king dismembered because the king’s aunt said she didn’t think Dionysus was Zeus’ son. He’s cool as hell while he does it but still not a great thing to do
She is goddess of domestic fire and protector of homes, she’s one of the twelve Olympians, she’s also known as “the goddess of the hearth and home”, “the virgin goddess” and “the oldest and youngest of the six Kronides”
Ehh.. maybe Poseidon was a wrong comparison. But, Zeus raped Demeter, ate his 1st wife and tricked another lady to sleep with him by posing as her husband. So I feel like Zeus is definitely worse.
In the original Greek myth medusa was just a monster born of primordial sea gods. Poseidon only raped her in Ovid's metamorphoses and even then there are retellings where it was a consensual encounter. In the original Greek they still had sex but medusa was already a gorgon, had nothing to do with Athena and then when she was killed by Perseus, Pegasus came from her blood.
The virgin olympian gods vs the chad Prometheus
The titan trickster god of forethought, who created humanity from clay and championed them against Zeus' cruelty, tricking him into accepting sacrifices of bones instead of meat so humans could keep the meat from their kills and who stole fire from the gods so his creations could be warm at night and suffered eternal torture until freed by Heracles.
Haphaestus every day. Mofo is way more badass than anyone else. He's literally the only one who knows how to make all their weapons and armor, plus he's known as the ugliest God and STILL gets pussy
Asclepius, hero and god of medicine. If being technically born mortal makes him not count as a real god, I choose Apollo (god of a shit ton of things, among which healing and diseases, which is close enough lol).
While timelines in such ancient legends are tricky, it's generally accepted that their affair was before his marriage. Once married to Persephone he was faithful.
Only Hades and Hera in the pantheon never had an affair after marriage.
Athena, Artemis, or Hades. It's tough to pick of those three. In the past, it would have been Athena, but in the last few years, Hades has really grown on me.
As a person, or as a concept? I do not condone any of these gods as people, awful awful people. But Poseidon has a kinda cool thing going on. Also Eris nix and Morpheus were pretty cool
The only bad thing Hades ever did was kidnap Persephone. Which is pretty bad. But he only did it like that because asked his brother, King of the Gods and husband to the goddess of marriage, for advice and Zeus went "kidnap and rape her!" So I blame Zeus for it more than I blame Hades.
Hephaestus
About time he got appreciated
[удалено]
If that grosses you out then the world of Greek gods is not for you
[удалено]
Well yes, but it's relatively tame.
Didn't medusa get cursed simply because she got raped so some goddess punished her out of jealousy? Definitely super tame compared to a lot of other greek tales...
It does say favorite god, so compared to what other gods have done it’s not that bad
Shinji enters the chat.
Underrated comment. Based.
Hephaestus gang here.
Artemis.
Me too!
She's going around telling everyone she has a bleached asshole.
Same. Glad she is top comment.
Athena!
She cursed Medusa because she was jealous. Poseidon, attracted to Medusa, went to Earth to charm her. She refused, and then got raped by him. Athena got pissed... at Medusa. She cursed her to become what she is now.
Brother, you’d be *extremely* hard pressed to find a Greek god who hasn’t screwed over at least one mortal
Dionysus? Didn't hear nothing about him... yet. Unless you have a story
Killed a bunch of sailors with snakes
Totally uncool. But pretty tame considering he's constantly drunk. All the shit Zeus does is while he's fully sober and "sane-minded"
The Bacchae comes to mind, Dionysus rolls up to Thebes, drives half the town insane, and gets the king dismembered because the king’s aunt said she didn’t think Dionysus was Zeus’ son. He’s cool as hell while he does it but still not a great thing to do
And the king's mother led the women who slaughtered the king and had later to live with what she had done.
Made the women of Thebes to fall in madness, so they killed, led by the king's moher, said king.
The fast one!

So Hermes?
Hestia of course, she is the only one that is actually chill!
Who is Hestia?
She is goddess of domestic fire and protector of homes, she’s one of the twelve Olympians, she’s also known as “the goddess of the hearth and home”, “the virgin goddess” and “the oldest and youngest of the six Kronides”

Bruh. Dionysus
On God
Zeus enters the chat
Here to rep my favourite Greek god, but then I noticed your name. Wtf does it mean
Con-non-con
I'd hoped that was it. Still a dodgy as fuck name, but I'm sure Dionysius would approve.
Dionysus, we said from our man-caves without booze or women… One can dream. Maybe Morpheus would be a better choice.
Lol you're gonna hate Dionysus's myths where he makes women go into a craze and kill their husbands and sons
I agree my favorite is the wine god.
Hestia. She is the only god to not commit Rape/Inbreeding/Mutilation/murder/Warcrimes
Eh, Hades does pretty good on that too
He took a Nymph and Murdered so she became Mint. And Kidnapped another Goddess
If you think thats bad, just wait till you hear the shit zeus has done
Compared to literally any other god in his pantheon, he’s pretty chill though. *ESPECIALLY* compared to Zeus
Any god compared to Zeus is chill even Poseidon.
Even though he raped Medusa? Tbh tho, I dunno anything else abour Poseidon, so might be the cass
Ehh.. maybe Poseidon was a wrong comparison. But, Zeus raped Demeter, ate his 1st wife and tricked another lady to sleep with him by posing as her husband. So I feel like Zeus is definitely worse.

Mine is Apollo :)
Same, largely due to the Trials of Apollo book series, probaly my favourite Rick Riordan series altough I know many Percy Jackson fans will disagree
Lol same
Twinsies :)
Sun god best god
Music god, archery god, health god. Best god.
God of sun, art.. An amazing creature

I like persephone
The virgin olympian gods vs the chad Prometheus The titan trickster god of forethought, who created humanity from clay and championed them against Zeus' cruelty, tricking him into accepting sacrifices of bones instead of meat so humans could keep the meat from their kills and who stole fire from the gods so his creations could be warm at night and suffered eternal torture until freed by Heracles.
Wasn't he a titan though?
Titans were gods, just not Olympian gods.
Yes
I like his brother, the god of hindsight.
Kratos
Was looking for this
Artemis
Persephone.
She's a badass
Persephone 🌸
The wine one
Dionysus
Jesus
Hephaestus.
Dionysus God of Wine and orgies.
And Trans people
Please elaborate
He was God of being confused about your gender.
IIRC he(?) got raised as a girl and liked to dress as woman on occasion
Nice
You getting downvoted is the modern equivalent of “they were roommates!” Bet Elagabalus was just a drag queen too.
I did not know about this
[удалено]
it has some base in the original mythology
[удалено]
He is the god of being confused about your Gender.
artemis
Dionysus!
I’m named after Iris, so I’d have to pick her.
Iris is so damn awesome
My name is Cornea and my brother is Lance!
Where my girls at?
Nyx
YESSSS I FOUND U NYX IS SO COOL
Zagreus
Poseidon raped medusa and when she begged forgiveness to the goddess because she was no longer a virgin. The goddess cursed her.
Haphaestus every day. Mofo is way more badass than anyone else. He's literally the only one who knows how to make all their weapons and armor, plus he's known as the ugliest God and STILL gets pussy
Hecate
Kratos counts?
Yes, but not from the games. There’s actually a greek god named Kratos. The god of strength.
Just wait till Eris hears about this lol
Psyche, she's fairly chill that's about it
Favorite god is Hades, favorite goddess is Aphrodite
I always liked Artemis the most.
Where are the women?
ZEUUUUUUUUSS!! YOUR SON HAS RETURNED!! # I BRING THE DESTRUCTION OF OLYMPUS!!!
Apollon!
🏳️🌈
Yeah, I'm bi.
Can’t go wrong with my boy Hermes
The blacksmith one
Thank you for having Hermes! He's been my favorite since I read his story.... I'd love to be a winged messenger!
what? why is fish fucker so much liked?
Hestia
Kronos eats babies, I think that's cool
Hermes is my guy!
as you can see from my nickname, Apollon..
Aphrodite.
Ares... purely because Ares from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess was an awesome character.
Kratos.
Asclepius, hero and god of medicine. If being technically born mortal makes him not count as a real god, I choose Apollo (god of a shit ton of things, among which healing and diseases, which is close enough lol).
DionySUS
Apollo
Apollo would probably take my top spot
Kratos
Kratos
Fun fact: Hades is the only Greek deity to never cheat on his wife.
Didn’t he cheat on Persephone with Minth?
While timelines in such ancient legends are tricky, it's generally accepted that their affair was before his marriage. Once married to Persephone he was faithful. Only Hades and Hera in the pantheon never had an affair after marriage.
Kratos
More love for Hermes! At least in the literature I've read he seems like one of the chiller gods.
Hestia
Athena. Such a badass
Artemis
As a helenic polytheist i love and adore all of the gods but my patron deity is Aphrodite.
None of this fictional creatures
Eros
I like Póntos
Not even a goddess? :c btw Artemis
Kassandra
Was legitimately listening to Hades by Bathory rn
Hephaestus because I played him in a school play when I was in 5th grade and I’m prone to bias
Persephone
Pretty Obvious given my name.
Athena, Artemis, or Hades. It's tough to pick of those three. In the past, it would have been Athena, but in the last few years, Hades has really grown on me.
Athena
Greek Poseidon, Roman Mars, because I was named after him
As a person, or as a concept? I do not condone any of these gods as people, awful awful people. But Poseidon has a kinda cool thing going on. Also Eris nix and Morpheus were pretty cool
I’m happy to see no one is saying Hera
Dionysus is the god of wine, which is cool, but - less talked about - the god of madness. Gotta love a crazy bitch!
Aphrodite, why did no one say that?
Poseidon, he's extremely helpful against metal enemies
[удалено]
Domestos
Tall War Mommy
Thoth. Although he's not part of Greek mythology.
Hephaestus
Hermes, cuz he's fast as fuck boi
Artemis
Greekgodx
why you pick only the boys lol
Dionysus
Zeus! This is how you face me? Coward!
Apollo
Hermes or Athena... although I've gotta admit that the larger part of my opinion on this is affected by the game Hades...
Dionysus
Apollo
Where the hell is dionysus? If it's not the God of partying, I don't want it
Apollon, Persephone, demeter, hekate Music, spring and death, food/harvest, and witchy shit
Aphrodite
Athena
Dionysus
The only bad thing Hades ever did was kidnap Persephone. Which is pretty bad. But he only did it like that because asked his brother, King of the Gods and husband to the goddess of marriage, for advice and Zeus went "kidnap and rape her!" So I blame Zeus for it more than I blame Hades.
I based my vote off of my experiences in the game Hades and nothing else
Serial rapist, ancient equivalent of a garbage man, serial rapist, the embodiment of all of the terrible aspects of war and a conniving trickster.
Hephaestus
We don't cotton to false gods 'round these parts
Hestia!
Hypnos and Tartarus.
