Who is your favorite mythological god?

Question

What religion is he, she, or it from? roman, greek, egyptian,....etc Why do you like this particular god?

Answer 1

I would say She'ish-e'sheh-sheh
It was the prankster god of artists in Native lore
It was the god that made people slip and fall or make mistakes while painting images or singing songs. It also gave people visions of indescribable beauty and funny dreams that made us laugh in our sleep. Most would say it was an imp or dark humored god.
The real funny thing is, we still curse it today when we make mistakes. We say "Sheesh!"

Answer 2

Hope a demi-god counts?
Loki the Trickster. Had the ability to change shape at will. Kept the other Norse gods on their toes by constantly meddling in their affairs. Ate the heart of a witch causing him to change into a woman and gave birth to the 3 Fates. His father, Farbauti, was an Ice Giant while his mother, Laufey, was a human.
It's my belief that Loki was never actually Evil but had a great knack for getting into, and out of, trouble.

Answer 3

Heimdall. Dude got the hottest Norse goddess ever by having "beautiful feet". That's like some new kind of awesome. That was Heimdall, right? I'm not sure, it's been a while since I've played Age of Mythology :P.

Answer 4

I've always like Apollo, of Greek myth. I've liked him since I first learned of him, because he's the sun-God. While I understand that it's mythology, I still respect the idea of a Sun-God. For it's far more real and provable and visible then some fictive Abrahamic deity.

Answer 5

Whispers echoed off the bronze walls of her living house consistently, reverberating and distorting till no individual might want to tell reality from fiction except perchance Pheme herself. Her favour can be a surprising blessing - she might want to grant you with such recognition and renown that your call might want to live to inform the tale perpetually. bypass her, regardless of the reality that, and she or he might want to spoil you with a hurricane of unfavorable rumours that could want to turn even your man or woman mom adverse to you. So, Pheme! For no different reason than that that is a cool tale that makes me smile.
