I'd have to say Poseidon, just because I love the water

Teenage Hades
I like Hades, and I thought that Herakles was a demigod, not a god. I might be wrong, maybe he became one, but as far as i can remeber Disney lied and he was a demigod.


Okay, this is what happened..

Well, Herakles remarried. To Deianeira, daughter of Dionysus. Anyways, they were then attacked by a centaur. The hero killed him easily, but the centaur gave Deianeira a shirt, saying that it would make her husband super strong. It wasn't, it was a poisonous shirt. Once he put it on, his flesh burned. After his death, Herakles was turned into a god..

I hope that's right.

Is it alright if either Indiges[an Immortalized Aeneas] or Diomedes could be on that list, too?
Both of them earned their way to Godhood, one of whom wasn't even a demigod himself, right?

Hades just all the way for one reason he has a army that if one of them dies he's the king of the underworld he could just bring them back lol. Who doesn't want to do that in the middle of war lol.

Woah, I'm in third place. More votes than Ares. mrgreen

I vote DIONYSUS!!
C'MOOON, he has such style!

He even has groupies that'll tear anyone part with their bare hands! aka Maenads. Chuck Norris style!

According to the stories I remember reading about him and what I've looked up, he doesn't seem to rip off people, or use them. He even helps out poor Ariadne when she's left on an island, he falls in love with her and take s her up to Olympus.

Plus I like grapes, and wine. Ivy is a great plant, and leopards are awesome. What's there NOT to like/love.

Amen with his majesty of the Underworld, as among the Gods of Olympian Lore, he's one of the only immortals who wasn't out to inflict more harm upon mere mortal humans than necessary, although i also credit Poseidon, Dionysus, and sometimes Ares, plus Cupid[or was it Eros?] as well.
[Besides, one of Ares' sons got killed during the Trojan war, and aside from fighting for that cad, Agamemnon, what did that son of his, Askalaphos, do wrong to deserve such a death?]
[[Also, on His Highness of the Seas, he helped to keep Aeneas alive, even though His highness supported the Greeks, overall, that's a huge plus in my eyes, right there next to caring for demigod children or outright descendants!]]

Hercules and Indiges have their worthwhile moments too, but for some funny reason or another, we don't hear of them as much once they gained immortality, i mean, Hercules made a cameo role in The Aeneid but aside from that, not much tales speak of either him or Aeneas, after the tale.

Is Hades even Olympian, though? He rarely goes on Olympus, rather staying in the Underworld. Did we just put him on the list so that the fan club could praise him?

He's not an Olympian in the schemata of the Dodekatheon, but he is an important part of the Olympian regime in general. I've included him on the list as well as several minor deities who could be classified as part of Zeus' order.

Here's a bonus point for you here.
Most of the Argonauts, or at least half of them, consisted of Poseidon's demigod children! ^_^

Now if only i can recall all their names.

If you're saying Theseus, I must disagree with you, there. His father, the King of Athens, said that once he was old enough, he'd be able to lift the rock. The King disappeared from Aethra to go back to Athens, and Theseus grew up and lifted the rock. Although, many myths from the Theseus tale like Phaedra's death, for example, need to show that he was a son of Poseidon, as Theseus called for a sea monster.
