Not Zeus- he's an attention hog. Most of Greek mythology is taken up with his sexcapades, and he has a bad habit of taking up with a woman, and then taking up with his granddaughter or greatgranddaughter. (In Ovid, he is Persephone's father, but he is mentioned as taking her virginity. >_<)
I think Hades is coolest. There are very few descriptions of how he looks, if any, but I imagine he's tall, dark, and handsome: sort of like James Bond, only quiet and thoughtful. He puts up with all these heroes traipsing through his kingdom, and punishes or not, as the case requires. (Theseus' friend is stuck to a bench for all eternity for trying to carry off Persephone.) And Hades is faithful to his wife. (I don't like cheaters. Who does?)
Also, he's the only god who _rules_ his kingdom, not with threats. Zeus' method of ruling is like "Hahaha ZAP POW THUNDERBOLT!!! FLOOD!!!" or "You wanna cross me?" *waves thunderbolt threateningly.* Poseidon is like "Storm! Waves!" or if someone else has made a storm on the ocean "No storm!" and occasionally he sends sea monsters, like to Andromeda's city.
Poseidon is as horny as Zeus, his children just aren't as famous. I love the ocean, but the only part I like about Poseidon is that he hated Odysseus. Odysseus the "faithful." *noise of disgust* "I swear that those 8 years when I was sleeping with goddesses every night was all them. They made me do it, I swear!" Poseidon kept trying to kill him for blinding his son.
Gurney: She said son, not child.

All I know is that Kronos is the name of the system we use at Ticketmaster to clock in and out of work. Therefore I hate Kronos.

It would have to be Zeus, since Kronos swallowed all his other children, and Zeus himself had to be cut out of his stomach. Once freed he destroyed his father and used his remains to create the world

Hades.
He's cool.
He's got this huge place all to himself, complete with 5 rivers for swimming and relaxing.
He's got a cool dog, and a hot wife.
And finally, he's laid back, he doesn't want other people's attention on himself. Why bother? He knows for a fact that every single person (with the possible exception of the Cumaean Sybil) would have to visit him whether they like it or not!
Hah!

Zeus! He is the most amusing to me. He was a super horndog and was always sneaking around on Hera in all kinds of funny ways.

Zues because he and I have conversations regularly and most of his cohorts hang out in my house. I knew I shouldn't have answered that personal ad, I really knew it.
