Who is the most badass god in the greek mythology? My vote is for Ares, either him or one of his sons, Deimos or Phobos.
>>581994
I like his daughter, Eris.
The Ares family was the zaniest family desu.
Zeus cucked everyone

Dionysus was a top lad
Most badasses were not Olympian Gods, the Titans is where the baddassery lies, it's even in their names.
Sons of Crios, to be specific:
Pallas - Titan god of War. His wife was Oceanid, Styx, their children include Kratos (the actual one), Nike, and two others.
Perses - Titan god of Destruction. His wife was Eurybia (descendant of Gaia and Pontus, so not exactly Titan), who were related with necromancy. Hekate is their daughter.
Ares had tendency to be absent during battles against Giants, and was a moron, while Athene had the smarts, while being typical Greek goddess (in other words: massive cunt).
>>581994
Who's the greek counterpart to Terminus?
Because my vote goes to that guy
>>582127
Latin (Sabine) addition to the hellenic mythos.
Also Primordial Deities > Personifications > Cthonic Deities > Titans > Olympians >> > >> Oceanic Deities
Does Heracles count?
>>582172
it's a demigod so not really
Odysseus was more badass anyway
I'd say Athena was the most badass Greek god by virtue of being a warrior, a genius, and a woman at the same time in Greek culture, and managed to be just about the only deity that wasn't completely evil.
>>582291
>and managed to be just about the only deity that wasn't completely evil.
Persephona was pretty good, and Hades was much better than Athena, by virtue of never turning people into flowers or flying people alive, while only once only feeling mint towards not his wife. Persephona turned the nymph, named Minte, into mint plant.
>>581994
I only just noticed this now, but is his helmet supposed to look like an erect, exposed penis? And looking at it even more closely, is the crest supposed to be ejaculation?!

Athena pls go
>>582391
>>582346
Comparatively I mean. Hades and Persephone don't fucking do anything, I'm talking about Greek gods that interfere in the world, and as far as Athena goes, she's the only one who, though a stretch, could be labelled "good," in contrast to the big ones like Ares, Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, etc whose main characteristics are doing as much harm to humanity as possible.
>>582510
The worst thing Hephestus ever did was try to rape Athena once but didn't really hurt humans. And Hermes (for the most part) limited himself to dickish things against other deities when Zeus ordered it but wasn't evil to humans.
>>581994
>My vote is for Ares
He got absolutely roasted by Athena in the Iliad, why would he ever be on top?
>>582088
desu
he was the only mortal to take on the mantle of full godhood, with the possible exception of Hercules
>>582291
>the only deity that wasn't completely evil
um, Hephaestus? Demeter? Hermes? Aphrodite? Hades?
>>582743
Aphrodite was pretty devious though, she even cucked Hephaestus with Ares
>>581994
>ares
ares was a fucking faggot, he wasn't like mars.
hermes was the best
>>582760
>Prometheus
>Hercules
don't count, and Prometheus is a Titan.
We're talking about the Big 12 here, forget the minor powers.
>>582772
I'm well aware that Prometheus is a Titan, must have missed it when OP confined the discussion to Olympian deities.
>>582229
>odysseus was more badass
did Odysseus fuck 500 women and punch out death itself? Hercules was so strong he could beat up concepts.
Pan.
>>582784
>Hercules was so strong
Strength =/= Badassness
Reminder that Odysseus was just some dude who had a CHA score of 22 and prestige skill in Bluff and basically just fucked with Poseidon himself for 20 years.
Honorable mention.
>>582797
The only god with the stones to straight fucking die.
>>582743
Aphrodite wasn't as prone to fucking with mortals for "insulting" her as Athena was, but she still did from time to time. Psyche is an example, who she tormented for the "crime" of other people thinking the mortal woman was more beautiful than her.
>>582394
This.
>>582918
>tormented for the "crime" of other people thinking the mortal woman was more beautiful than her
Women.
>>582748
She is quite literally the godess of sex. Of course she fucked everyone else around her. What else did he expect her to do?
>>581994
Heracles literally slapped his shit up
>>583007
Her aspect of sexuality comes second to her aspect of love, and I doubt cucking your husband constitutes love
>>583050
She never liked her husband hera kinda forced married her to the gimp black Smith to keep her from getting Zuesed
>>583053
So that justifies her breaking her cult's most important oath?
>>583060
>Implying the greek gods werent flawed
>Implying they gave a single fuck
>Implying most of the myths is about one or the other fucking up in a major way
>>583073
We were literally arguing that Aphrodite wasn't a cruel goddess and you're basically admitting that she was a bitch?
>>583081
Yes she was a bitch
Look at a lot of her myths or ways she cucked her husband or whole Trojan war incident
It's Hermes, OP. It's always been Hermes. It's always gonna be Hermes.
>>583050
Love, yes, but an extremely fickle love. Even when she wasn't actively being a bitch, she would still fuck things up by playing matchmaker without regard for consequences (which could be dire) because she just couldn't help herself.
If you want to get down to it, the only really nice god by both ancient and modern understandings is Hestia, and that's mostly because she just kept to herself and helped with the hearth in the home, and even then I'm sure there is some story representing what happens when a hearth fire accidentally turns into a house fire. Every other deity requires some amount of hand wringing or qualification about how they're just doing a job or only a dick under limited circumstances. That's just what the conception of a deity was until it got refined.
>>582772
both were immortalized as gods within the stories of Heracles. for Prometheus it's shoertly after Heracles frees him during one of his Twelve Labours. for Heracles it happened at the end of hos life after guest starring in various epics - both extant and lost - since then. Zeus carries him to Olympus along with his wife Hebe.
so i'd say either two of these gods would be the most bad-ass aling with Dionysus as a contestant for dying every year, dying three other times in the myths including being eaten alive for the last one, and not only always coming back but seemingly stronger each time from it and without being fucked up. his weapon of choice: inflicting madness or letting people get eaten by maenads. but only if you yurt his people or attempt to threaten others' rights and liberties
>>583241
sorry for the typos. thats a little embarrassing but srsly look it up
Athena is a jealous bitch. She's the worst.
>>584653
isn't that like literally the one good thing she did
>>581994
>Who is the most badass god in the greek mythology?
The White Goddess, the universal maid, mother, crone who births, fucks, kills and eats the sacred king.
Praise Dionysus lads.
He's got the right idea on how to live.

Hermes
He's the personification of mètis, there's nothing he can't overcome or acquire.
>>582748
Hephaestus is the smith god, ugly as fuck
>no swag
>>581994
Ares got BTFO by Diomedes, a mortal.
>>581994
Does he even bench?
>>581994
Completely unrelated but whatever happened to Erebus?
Hesiod just says he spawned the other primordial deities and then he just disappears, isn't killed by his son like his other successors
Ares was considered to be cowardly by the time Athena's cult rose to prominence
The one with an erection that lasted way more than four hours.
>>582731
>mantle
Where does this word come from, historically? Is it often that someone acheives godhood and is mantling that achievement? Honestly I've only heard of it in a video game.
>>586137
>man·tle
>A loose sleeveless cloak or shawl, worn especially by women.
>From Latin mantellum; meaning cloak
Basically means to take up the god's clothes

A girl who hanged herself out of shame for losing a weaving contest to Athena. Athena then felt sorry for her and turned her into a spider so she could spin beautifully.
