Answer 10

I don't have a favorite, the gods are capricious and none of them can be trusted. If I did favor a god, it would be best to keep that preference a secret, as one's favoritism might expose one to the wrath of a god who felt slighted.

But perhaps, I am favored by a god, which is just as dangerous as playing favorites with the gods.

Answer 11

Hecate (before later writers painted her dark.)

Hesiod's Theogeny says:

Hecate whom Zeus the son of Cronos honored above all.

He gave her splendid gifts, to have a share of the earth and the unfruitful sea.

She received honor also in starry heaven, and is honored exceedingly by the deathless gods.

For to this day, whenever any one of men on earth offers rich sacrifices and prays for favor according to custom, he calls upon Hecate.

Great honor comes full easily to him whose prayers the goddess receives favorably, and she bestows wealth upon him; for the power surely is with her.

For as many as were born of Earth and Ocean amongst all these she has her due portion.

The son of Cronos did her no wrong nor took anything away of all that was her portion among the former Titan gods: but she holds, as the division was at the first from the beginning, privilege both in earth, and in heaven, and in sea.

Also, because she is an only child, the goddess receives not less honor, but much more still, for Zeus honors her.

Whom she will she greatly aids and advances: she sits by worshipful kings in judgement, and in the assembly whom she will is distinguished among the people.

And when men arm themselves for the battle that destroys men, then the goddess is at hand to give victory and grant glory readily to whom she will.

Good is she also when men contend at the games, for there too the goddess is with them and profits them: and he who by might and strength gets the victory wins the rich prize easily with joy, and brings glory to his parents.

And she is good to stand by horsemen, whom she will: and to those whose business is in the grey discomfortable sea, and who pray to Hecate and the loud-crashing Earth-Shaker, easily the glorious goddess gives great catch, and easily she takes it away as soon as seen, if so she will.

She is good in the byre with Hermes to increase the stock.

The droves of kine and wide herds of goats and flocks of fleecy sheep, if she will, she increases from a few, or makes many to be less.

So, then, albeit her mother's only child, she is honored amongst all the deathless gods.

And the son of Cronos made her a nurse of the young who after that day saw with their eyes the light of all-seeing Dawn.

So from the beginning she is a nurse of the young, and these are her honors.

Answer 12

Poseidon because he's the reason for the Odyssey. Without him that book would suck.

Answer 13

Venus.....because I'll deeck her day and night.

Answer 14

Athena - cause she's not just a godess of war, she's a godess of battle tactics and strategy.

Wisdom, War, and Weaving - they're all associated in Greek myth. Like with Odysseus, intelligence, craftiness and success in battle were associated concepts, and Athena was the patron godess of those things. She's the planner and thinker, the person who comes up with the traps and ambushes and plans.
