If you read a lot of Greek mythology, you discover very few of them were exactly nice people. They spent a lot of time meddling in human affairs (and generally screwing them up) and trying to outdo each other. But if I had to choose, it would be Aphrodite, only because it's fun to envision her slinking around Olympus in a two-piece red toga (or whatever the Greeks called them). Why can't we have fun gods like that now? The present gods are a bunch of stiffs.

My favorite is one you didn't mention - Hestia.
And I honor Her at the end of every Sabbat or Esbat ritual.
