    I love Greek mythology! I'm far from an expert but I have been meaning to get into it more lately. I think my favourite God would have to be Erebos.

    I'm Greek, I used to LOVE covering the topic of Greek Mythology in Greek class... My favourite is Zeus! My favourite story would have to be the story of Medusa.

    I started playing a game called Master of Olympus: Zeus when I was young, and I fell in love with Greek mythology. My favourite god is Apollo; me and my sisters aligned gods to us depending how they looked, and I got given Apollo (only male God in the game with blonde hair ;p), and my sisters were Aphrodite and Artemis. So because I was Apollo, he's always been my favourite. /shrug

    They really don't make games like that anymore. D:. I think the main reason I now really love ancient history (I study it at college) was because of Master of Olympus: Zeus, haha. How sad. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I absolutely adore Greek mythology (and most other countries' mythologies).

    My favorite God used to be Ares (I dunno why, I considered him pretty badass and cool), but now it's Athena. I love her intelligence, her wisdom, and craftiness.

    Athena for intellegence and wisdom
    Nike just for her badass victories and victoriousness

    Oh, I love Nemesis as a goddess.
     
  14. Hey! I love Greek Mythology with a burning passion and I am in Scholastic Bowl too! Hate to be cliche, but I like Poseidon a lot. (I was named after water!) Also, Hermes.

    Always liked Hades, compared to the other gods seemed like a decent guy. Rather fond of Athena and Pan. Interested in Greek mythology in general.

    Now Egyptian mythology, that's where it's at. :grin:

    I enjoyed the stories of Orpheus and Eurydice, and Daphne and Apollo. As for gods, I like Apollo and Asclepius. Given that they are deities of healing and my future profession involves medicine and drugs, my affinity for them isn't surprising :slight_smile:

    I also found greek mythology interesting and when the percy jackson series came along, I found it even more interesting and cool :slight_smile:
    I like Athena and Poseidon x]
     
  19. I loved the Percy Jackson series! I remember I started reading them and got so hooked on reading Greek Myths that when we learned about them in Freshman World History class, the teacher had me explain all the gods and goddesses and stories to the class, haha!

    I've been very eager to explore Greco-Roman mythology more in depth. In particular, though I don't have a favorite god, I've been particularly interested in the myth(s) of Tiresias.
