I know what a banshee is, the story where Loki fucked a horse, and I know the Olympian gods, Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Hermes, Athena, Ares, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Artemis, Apollo, Dionysus, and Demeter. But there are a lot more Greek Gods and lesser Gods than them, Hades being a big one. But also various primorial gods, titans, demigods, river gods, gods of the winds, goddesses of seasons, muses, nymphs, satyrs... hundreds of them. I know only a handful of them and in much lesser detail. I'm pretty sure anyone that has played Hades, watched Hercules, or completed high school English in the US can name at least a couple dozen though.
For fun I’m going to try listing as many Greek deities as I can from memory, this will pale in comparison to the real total but it will be fun nonetheless (I’ve probably made many spelling mistakes)
I don’t remember if Orion the hunter is just a hero/demigod or if he is a god. Same for Perseus.
Damn. That’s less than I thought. Can I name all nine muses still?
Idk like half the muses are muses of song and there’s significant overlap in all of them if I recall correctly.
Anyway it’s late so I’m going to bed, I’ll see how wrong I was when I woke up lol
Oh also I have never played the game you mentioned but I have siblings who were very into the Percy Jackson books lol
Pretty great effort here. Not surprising that you weren't sure about Hera's dominion, in pretty much every story she's basically the god of "my wife is such a bitch lol"
Isn't Hera the goddess of wisdom and learning?
You wouldn't know it from the tales. Most people would go looking for Athena or possibly Metis on those counts.
