Midas – – we could all do with a golden touch at the moment
I always felt Medusa was very misunderstood…
Probably Eros 🙂
Penelope – tricks the great trickster Odysseus at the end of the Odyssey.
definitely dionysus- he is the only one that has kept me going thru all this !
Hephaestus (the god of blacksmiths and fire), who had his forge located at Mount Etna (visited on today’s Giro d’Italia), which was said to erupt when he was crafting new weapons for the gods.
Hello, my favourite Greek mythology person is Pandora who opens the box, I remember learning about her at school and finding it very interesting. Thank you for the chance to win.
Athena
Hi there, my favourite character from the Greek myths is Helen of Troy – my name is Helen, and when I was born, my father was working for a newspaper, and his boss was called Mr Troy!
Aphrodite is my favourite. Surely it is what we all need at this present time.
Hecate, 100%
My favorite is Athena. Not only was she the Olympian goddess of wisdom and war (not sure how the two go hand in hand but hey ho), but also she was credited with breathing life into man when Prometheus created man.
What a woman!
Antigone
Odysseus
Dionysius – just think what he’s done for wine!
Medusa.
Medusa
Tyche- Goddess of good luck & fortune, maybe she will help.
Athena the goddess of reason, wisdom, and war.
Zeus, a legend in the making!
Iphigenia – tragic figure, young and brave
The original Clash of the Titans was my favourite film when I was a young girl so Perseus is my favourite.
Always been fascinated by Hades
Gaia – primordial mother goddess of earth
Gaia – primordial goddess of everything
My favourite character is Zeus
Hector, as he has all the ingredients for a Greek hero.
Tyche god of good luck and fortune. Maybe I’ll have some for this competition
Zeus – powerful god of war!
Hades, who wouldn’t want to be King of the dead, control the underworld and have a three headed dog? Think of the fun you could have a work with that…!
Always Zeus.
Achilles. Great warrior who was the bravest of Greek heroes in the war against Trojans.
Hector, has all the characteristics of a real hero.
Aphrodite would have to be my favourite
I love Pegasus, as a kid I always wanted my own Pegasus!
Hercules. Recently read Labours of Hercules (Poirot – Agatha Christie) hadn’t known about him before….lots of impressive feats!
Jason and the Argonaunts. My Primary School teacher – Mrs Walters – told us the story and I was hooked.
Zeus king of the gods
Hermes – god of writing among other things.
After reading the novel, I’d have to say Circe. I knew nothing about her before but I’m a big fan now! Fantastic giveaway.
Chiron, old & wise, rather like myself?
Zeus, the God of the Sky and Thunder. He is never boring.
Dionysus of course – a glass of wine and a good book – what more could anyone want?!
Hypnos, the God of sleep as I live in hope that he might put me to sleep throughout the whole coronavirus crisis and let me wake up when life is back to normal.
I would like to be Icarus, as I have always been drawn to the idea of being able to fly in a self-propelled manner!
I know Icarus met with a sticky end, but perhaps he felt it was worthwhile for those few minutes (seconds?) of joyous flight towards the sun?
My favourite character is Zeus, as it’s my partner’s nickname.
Aristaeus – God & Patron of rustic arts!
My favourite is Athena, goddess of wisdom!
Aphoridite x
