      Pandora of course. Though most people wouldn't call her a goddess. But she was a god, as much as any of them anyway, before the greeks subverted her cult. Of course, the evidence for this is scanty at best.

   Hi qwark! I am big on Zeus myself. The mythological father of the gods. What a complete bastard!

      Hey Earn:
      Last time I saw Zeus he was chasing a little chick around a tree on earth!
      He was a walking "erection!"
      You know that! Just look at all the kids he has.
      it's gotta be genetic...eh?

   Dionysis or Bacchus the god of wine and intoxication.
   
   Now that is a character.

   All religions basing themselves on a mystical "GOD" concept have 3 doctrines in common.
   
   (a)selfless(undefined)
   (b)desire oppression(undefined)
   (c)belief in "god"(undefined)
   
   Mythology is exactly that...Myth. It's proven to be not real.
   
   On that note- Zeus was the most prolific of them all.

      Zeus was a master smiter! Loved his family! They were a fine mix of the human condition personified.
      An essential ingredient in a well rounded psychological understanding of life.

   Yet to come across any perfect god character in my terms. But just for the sake of selection i might pick some from pagan god's list. Or will go with Erebus or God of time (Cronus).

   I like throwing lightning bolts and causing "THUNDER!" with my magical hammer! The damned  thing was like a "boomerang!" I could throw it at an enemy, destroy it and it'd fly right back to me!
   I had a belt that gave me the strength that only we "gods" can possess! Oh yes, My name is THOR!
   PS....I used to like war too, when I was a kid, but when I grew up and my testosterone levels dropped, I gave it up."
   Jupiter and I just hang around now watching the damned human fools on earth screwing up....we're easily entertained...:-)

         Psychology takes many of these entities seriously in therapy because of the archetype.
         I have met Aphrodite many times, but I do know it as a projection of my inner feminine, which is why Aphrodite takes different forms for different men.
         Thank goodness for that! Otherwise all men would want the same woman as a partner.

    I believe in God, myself...
    
    but if we are talking about mythological characters, I think that Testicles, the Greek God of sex, is kinda cool

       Greek:
       Thor and Zeus both knew "god" when he was a kid.
       They said he'd never grow up to be much. He's kinda "psychotic."
       By golly, they were right!
       Woden chimed in and said ya know, "god" said he created the first 2 people on earth! The little scamp lied! I DID!
       Kids! Always lookin' for attention! Jeez!

    Let's go East...I've always thought Kali "The eater of worlds" was pretty awesome.
    
    And Siva, the Lord of the Dance of Creation. Fascinating stuff.
    
    @ Greek One I got a kick outta that.
