The Greek gods were a colourful bunch of deities. Monotheistic religions miss out so much of the fun with their dull one god in comparison. There had a chief executive (Zeus) and a company secretary, (Hera) and another 10 to fill out other positions on the board of Olympus Inc and lot of other lesser gods in more niche roles (like the love twanger Eros) and Eris, the Goddess of Shit Stirring.

  • The Greek gods were a colourful bunch of deities. Monotheistic religions miss out so much of the fun with their dull one god in comparison. There had a chief executive (Zeus) and a company secretary, (Hera) and another 10 to fill out other positions on the board of Olympus Inc and lot of other lesser gods in more niche roles (like the love twanger Eros) and Eris, the Goddess of Shit Stirring. There was a branch office in the Underworld run by Zeus's brother Hades with his wife Persephone and the triple faced house crone Hecate . The other brother Poseidon preferred to spend time in the sea with his trident, summoning up storms and unleashing the sea against anyone who pissed him off which was pretty much everyone. Though Olympus acted like the HQ of the Gods, nearly all of them spent a lot of time on Earth. The female gods were usually productive, imparting wisdom like Athena or supplying her green fingers for horticultural advancement like Demeter. The male gods on the other hand roamed around looking for sex. Nor would they mind if it was male or female. Only Aphrodite as the Goddess of Love had her share of lovers, her sisterhood deities risked black eyes or worse from the male gods who were always jealous of pretty boy seducers or heroic he-men. Not very fair but then Greek society wasn't fair either. Women were treated only one step up from slaves - except in Sparta. God and Man were one of the same when it came to female freedom. They were dead against it.
