Greek/ Roman Gods: Favorite and Least Favorite

My favorite goddess is Athena. She is beautiful, but never lets that take precedence over wisdom. She is the goddess of war as well as wisdom, but when she chose to fight, it was her head ruling, not her heart. She is one of the most inspiring goddesses, because she was the first symbol of power to women. She was an equal with the male gods, and did not follow foolish whims and bad judgement. She was a powerful goddess that could handle anything, and that is something to be proud of.

On the other hand, we have Zeus. Yes, he was king of the gods, but his glory ended when he rescued his brothers and sisters from the Titans. He likes to smite people and kill things to increase his standing and power. There is also the issue of him cheating on Hera too many times to count. He turns people into animals so that Hera can't find them and won't find out about him. he gets involved with fights and always wants to have the upper hand, which is just childish. If his ego got any bigger, his head would explode. Just because he is the king of the gods is not an excuse to act like a pig.
