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
Excellent work, but I would be remiss if I didn't point out the glaring lack of the great war strategy goddess Athena, borne from Zeus' head fully clad in armor she made for herself, giving Zeus a terrible migraine (and with Hephaestus as a midwife).
Damnit I think I combined her with Artemis because that’s one of the weird birth stories I was talking about. Also yeah I really can’t believe I missed one of the main gods.
