Olympics and a really awesome set of
deities fabulous party you know I
haven’t seen this much love in a room
since narcissists discovered himself
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
Greek gods for this list we’ve chosen
our entries based on a combination of a
deities power
popularity and position in the Greek
pantheon number 10 Artemis goddess of
the hunt the twin sister of Apollo
Artemis let her brother pluck the
strings of the lyre she was far more
interested in plucking the strings of
the bow in addition to being goddess of
the hunt she was also a goddess of
fertility and childbirth a neat trick
for someone known as a virgin goddess
Artemis was happiest away from Olympus
when she could run around the forest
hunting with her virgin nymphs works for
us number nine
Hermes god of thieves and travelers the
messenger of the gods Hermes was quite a
trickster as a baby he enraged his big
brother Apollo by sneakily stealing all
his cattle
fortunately Hermes created the lyre for
Apollo which smooth things over later
Hermes took the job of accompanying dead
souls to the underworld he was known for
his distinctive style usually sporting a
winged cap and carrying a caduceus you
know that stick with the wings and
snakes wrapped around it number eight
Aphrodite goddess of love born out of
the foam of the sea Aphrodite was to put
it bluntly a haughty so hot that Zeus
quickly married her off to his son
Hephaestus to keep the rest of the gods
from fighting over her but this goddess
of love much preferred her
brother-in-law Ares the God of War must
have made for some interesting family
dinners number seven Ares God of War
danger excites you and as you know I am
somewhat dangerous it’s a good thing
Aphrodite liked Ares somebody had to
that’s the important thing with his mean
streak and warlike disposition the other
Olympians tended to find him a little
hard to handle
he usually hung out with some of the
less sociable
gods like the gods of fear and terror
and the goddess of discord proving that
love is stronger than war the child of
Ares and Aphrodite is Harmonia the
goddess of harmony number six Apollo god
of music and light the handsomest of the
gods
Apollo kept his hand in everything in
addition to music and light
he’s also associated with prophecy
medicine plague poetry and a lot more
busy guy
the Greeks held the Pythian games every
four years in Apollo’s honor these
eventually became what we know as the
Olympics so if you want your country to
bring home the gold a little sacrifice
to Apollo may be in order
number five Hera goddess of marriage the
queen of the Olympian gods Hera was the
goddess of marriage but that didn’t stop
her husband Zeus from cheating on her
every time she turned her back Hera was
vindictive and mercilessly punished the
women Zeus dallied with and their kids
too but she was revered by the Greeks
who honored her prominence in Olympus
and her importance as a symbol of the
family you think it weak of me metal not
we almost who number for Hades god of
the underworld the ruler of the Dead
Hades is not one of your life of the
party gods are things in the underworld
well they’re just fine a little dark
little gloomy and as always hay full of
dead people what are you gonna do hey if
you spent most of your time in a dark
sunless brown with moaning Souls company
you’d brood too still there were some
cool things about being Hades he had all
the gold and silver he wanted and this
awesome helmet of invisibility take that
Harry Potter whoa is my hair out number
three
Athena goddess of wisdom like Aphrodite
Athena had an unusual birth when Zeus
complained of a fierce headache
Hephaestus split his head open with an
axe and out popped Athena goddess of
wisdom now that’s how to make an
entrance
Athena was the patroness of the city of
Athens to which she gave a most precious
gift the olive tree Requa zine would
have been much poorer without her
number two Poseidon god of the sea
much like the sea over which he was the
god Poseidon was one moody character one
day he’s happily creating little islands
in a smooth as glass sea the next day
it’s all hurricanes and earthquakes
Poseidon was one dude you did not want
to have as your enemy after all it
wouldn’t have taken Odysseus 10 years to
get back from the Trojan War
if he hadn’t blinded beside the Sun and
then bragged about it before we unveil
our top pick here are a few honorable
mentions
number one Zeus god of the sky Zeus the
king of the gods was even more powerful
than his brother Poseidon and also
someone you didn’t want to get in a snit
he had a tendency to hurl Thunderbolts
Zeus ruled over Olympus with a firm hand
and loved his wife Hera but couldn’t
seem to keep things in his toga the
number of illegitimate children he
fathered is Titanic fortunately his kids
treated him better than Zeus did his own
father after overthrowing him Zeus had
him castrated do you agree with our
