Greek Mythology... which one are you?

[Sugar Beats]

My oldest has to do a report on a Greek God or Goddess...

Here is the short list & descriptions to follow...

Which one are you most like & why?

Aphrodite ~ Goddess of love, romance, and beauty. Her son was Eros, god of Love (though he is not an Olympian.) Strengths: Potent sexual attractiveness, dazzling beauty.
Weaknesses: A bit stuck on herself, but with a perfect face and body, who can blame her?

Apollo ~ Beautiful god of the sun, light, medicine, and music. Apollo's Strengths: Creative, handsome, supportive of all the arts of civilization.
Weaknesses: Like his father Zeus, Apollo is all too happy to enjoy the charms of nymphs, as well as the occasional youth, and his conquests number in the dozens.

Ares ~ Dark god of war who loves Aphrodite. Strengths: Decisive, determined, fearless.
Weaknesses:Impulsive, bloodthirsty, raring for a fight regardless of the consequences

Artemis ~ Independent goddess of the hunt, the forest, wildlife, childbirth, and the moon. Sister to Apollo. Strengths: Physically strong, able to defend herself, defender and guardian of women in childbirth and of wildlife in general.

Athena ~ Daughter of Zeus and goddess of wisdom, war, and crafts.
Strengths: Rational, intelligent, a powerful defender in war but also a potent peacemaker.

Demeter ~ Goddess of agriculture and mother of Persephone. Strengths: Demeter controls the fertility of the earth as goddess of Agriculture; also gives life after death to those who learn her Mysteries.
Weaknesses: Not one to cross lightly. After the kidnapping of her daughter Persephone, Demeter blights the earth and won't let the plants grow. But who can blame her?

Dionysus or Bacchus

God of wine, parties/festivals, madness and merriment. He represents not only the intoxicating power of wine, but also its social and beneficial influences. His symbols are the grape vine, ivy, and thyrsus.

Athena for sure. Rational and intelligent. That's me...well, most of the time. Although I am compassionate, I'm not an overtly emotional person.
