Hera was the best Goddess for me.That's why Zeus married her...Marriage is something very important...
(And she was the most beautiful whatever we say...)

Artemis. She's all for the hunt but she doesn't hurt the animals (no animal cruelty!!). It's a bit of a downer that she doesn't like men, but whatever. Can't have it all, right?
Besides, I've heard myths where Zeus favors her over Apollo. Woo Hoo feminists!

I love Artemis. She is my goddess. In fact, i bought a necklace the other day in the shape of a crescent moon with "Artemis" inscribed in it in Witch Script. It is sterling silver with a overlay of 22kt gold. I wear it every day.

Persephone is my favorite. I kind of feel bad for her. Being taken to the underworld and all. But at least she gets to come up every spring.

i might not know what you do,but Persephone was tricked to stay with Hades,if she ate anything in the underworld she had to stay,but Hades gave her a fruit of some kind,i forgot the name it was a guava fruit or something,she then ate 6 seeds and because of those seeds,she had to stay with Hades for 6 months (fall and winter)in the underworld,and then for the rest of the year,she had to be with her mother i think (spring and summer)
has she grown to like Hades?
i dont know maybe,your stuck with the same guy for half of the year so maybe,maybe not

Easy, my favorite is Hestia. She's the only goddess who actually cares about us mortals.

My favourite is Persephone followed closely by Aphrodite and Hekate. I know the myth says that Persephone was abducted but I like to think that she went willingly to the Underworld.

It was a pomegranate which Hades offered Persephone. She refused it, but eventually gave in to temptation and nibbled on some of the seeds, which was more than enough to damn her.
As romantic as the notion of star-crossed love is, the myths and the general patriarchal society of Greece make it clear that Hades abducted poor Kore against her will. The myth IS called the Rape of Persephone, after all. No deity would willingly live in the land of the dead. Still, it seems she grew accustomed to it, because Persephone soon became as feared for her pitiless nature as is Hades.

I'd have to pick Enyo she appeals to my sadistic side and Aphrodite because as much as I try to deny it I'm a hopeless romantic.

I know what the Greeks thought and that the myth is called the Rape of Persephone, but like I said it's what I like to believe. I never said I was right. If you go on the temptation of the seeds point if you really hate somewhere wouldn't you do everything to not stay there. She was immortal missing a few meals wouldn't kill her. So unless we go on a theory of stockholm syndrome at least part of her must have wanted to stay in the underworld with him. And on your point of 'No deity would willingly live in the land of the dead' there are a number of deities that reside in the underworld by choice, Hekate, Nyx, the fates, for a start.

Athena, because she's smart and knows how to fight and is otherwise awesome.

And on your point of 'No deity would willingly live in the land of the dead' there are a number of deities that reside in the underworld by choice, Hekate, Nyx, the fates, for a start. No Olympian deity, I meant. Of course the deities who are related to the Underworld would reside there. In myth, the only Olympian who was even permitted to visit the underworld - much less willing to visit - was Hermes, since he was the messenger between all gods, as well as a conductor of the dead into the afterlife. Persephone's willingness to stay was more in keeping with the Greek ideal of a subservient wife. NOT that I'm condoning this personally, I'm merely insisting that this was how the ancients viewed their world. Wives were property to buy, and were expected to be as obedient to their husbands as they were to their fathers. Mythology is full of deities who simply abduct their wives-to-be. Poseidon and Amphitrite, for instance, or Zephyros and Khloris.
