who is your favourite mythical character and why?

Artemis because she stands to her grounds, she protects virgins, and never let a man take over her.
Athena because she shows that girls have brains and bronze.
Bast because she show the femine side of gods can be tough.
The Weaving Maiden because she would do anything for love and freedom even mean to spend her entire immortalal life imprisoned by her own father because she fell in love with a mortal.

Answer 3

loki.
he saves the gods but also brings about their destruction.

'Aegir, who was also known as Gymir, had prepared ale for the gods, when he received the great kettle, as was told earlier. To his party came Odin and his wife Frigg. Thor did not come, for he was in the east. Sif Thor's wife, was there, Bragi and his wift Idun. Tyr was there; he was one-handed; Fenris-wolf had bitten off his hand while being bound. There was Njörd and his wift skach; Frey and Freya, and Odin's son Vidar. Loki was there and Frey's servants Byggvir and Beyla. There were many gods and elves. Aegir had two servers, Fimafeng and Eldir. The ale served itself There was a great peace in that place, all praised Aegir's servers highly. Loki could not bear to hear praise, so he killed Fimafeng. Then the gods shook their spears at Loki and cried out, driving him
away to the woods; then they returned to their drinking. Loki turned back and met Eldir outside. Loki said to him:

1 LOKI: Stay where you are, step no further, Eldir, till you have told me Of what the gods, of what the elves, Are talking over their ale.

2 ELDIR: They boast of their weapons, their boldness in arms As they sit by thebanquet-board, But none of the gods, none of the elves Speak of or wish you well.

3 LOKI: I shall go in to eye them feasting In Aegir's banquet hall: I intend to stir up strife and hate, Mingle gall with their mead.....

Answer 5

I love alot of mythical charaters mostly i'm very intrested in mythology especially greek, I probably would say, the mermaids.

Answer 6

Cu Chullainn from Irish Myths. He was the hero who single-handedly held off an invading army. Eventually he was mortally wounded, then it gets good. He went to the river and washed his wounds (because he knew his enemies wouldn't prepare him for burial), tied himself to a stone (like those in Stonehenge) and raised his sword high (so he could die on his feet among his enemies!) When they finally knew that he was dead, they cut off his head to take home as a trophy. In his last act (even in death) Cu Chullain's sword came down and sliced off the hand of the one who had taken his head.

Answer 7

My favorite mythical character is Andromeda. She was very brave and kind.

Answer 8

Beowulf for his bravery but a goblin all in all for the mythical power

Answer 9

Odysseus... smart, brilliant and resourceful no matter which book he's in. The fact that he managed such favor to get home from Troy in 20 years is just... he's just a cool guy.

Answer 10

the banshee and morrigan, found in irish and scottish mythology....because they are mysterious, and often appear in different forms.

the minotaur, i like the legend, the way in it's dreams, it was aware of the fact it killed all those people and was heartbroken about it......but when awake...it had no idea or memory of what it was doing

any celtic, norse or greek mythology come to think of it haha
