Aphrodite Pandemos which means goddess "among all the people. She is the daughter of Zeus and Dione. This version of Aphrodite is primarily concerned with bodily desire, purely random in attraction, and can be experienced by any and everyone.
Aphrodite Pandemos could be both very kind and cruel. One story in particular concerns Pygmalion. The women of Cyprus defied Aphrodite, and so she made them all prostitutes. This sickened Pygmalion, and so he decided to create his own lover. He formed a woman out of ivory, and loved her as if she was his wife. One day Aphrodite heard the prayers of Pygmalion, and she brought the ivory statue to life. She watched as they became happily married.
The other version, Aphrodite Urania, represents pure or spiritual love. She is born from Uranus the "sky" or "heaven." This love is more in tune with the intellect.

The nameless girl in "White Bear King Valemon", a Byelorussian fairy tale, where the heroine looses her lover after breaking a taboo, and then sets out to win him back, enlisting the aid of the winds, the sun and the moon. In the end she has to climb a glass mountain and cut of her little finger to reach the top, because her stash of magic bones gives out just before the last step.
She defeats the evil witch who keeps her husband prisoner and takes him back.
I like a story about energetic and resourceful women. All to often we are portrayed as the moaning victims.

Andy Sipowicz performed by making use of Dennis Franz on "NYPD Blue" - regrettably, the instruct went off the air a pair of years in the past, after being on for 12 seasons, reruns are actually and lower back ran although....He became right into a character crammed with very own subject concerns & he could rage & fire up problems, yet then be the only to continually shelter the underdogs & admit whilst he became into incorrect & he enjoyed not undemanding....a strolling contradiction of a character & worth of applause for the brillant performing he did on that instruct....

Merlin, or Merlinus Aurilius, was actually the uncle of King Arthur. He was a powerful general who took Arthur under his 'wing' and trained him in the arts of war. He may also have been an alchemist. He is reputed to have moved Stonehenge from Ireland to England by magic. I don't buy that one, though.

My favorite is Jesus Christ. Among all others, including those you have listed, he has been symbolic of the most magical and miraculous qualities, yet paradoxically has become the most believable of all, just as if there had been a real person with those exact attributes.

None of them reflect me in any appreciable way, with their mysticism, violence and magic. I prefer to find inspiration in real people's lives to fictional characters.
