[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9387277, member: 6790260"] Don't forget Zeus' role as protector of strangers/travellers and the guest-rite. That was very important, and shows up in several of his myths that [I]aren't[/I] about him getting horny (e.g. Baucis and Philemon). But yes, I would personally rearrange a lot of these. Some are already interesting (e.g. I like Athena as-is, hence why I like Erathis), but most of the other female deities are far too one-note for my preference. For example, I think it would be very interesting to combine, say, Hera and Hades: this is a culture where you [I]don't[/I] say "til death do us part," marriage is [I]eternal[/I] because the goddess of marriage is also the goddess of the afterlife. Imagine, the Raven Queen as goddess of marriage--how much different weddings and funerals would be in that kind of culture! [/QUOTE]
