Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Mine would be Athena ♥ Edit: 99% of the online quizzes tell me mine would be Athena. Seriously. Once my result was Apollo. I will keep trying new quizzes. However... I can relate to Athena. But I know I am quite similar to Zeus as well, both when it comes to personality. I am highly prideful, ambitious, stubborn, short tempered/easily angered, perfectionist, reclusive/loner/introverted and others (I'd rather not to talk too much about this haha). So my godly parent would be either: Athena or Zeus. Edited May 10, 2014 by Slytherin7 Share this post Link to post
Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Do you mean who you would WANT to be your parent, or who would fit your personality and interests? Edited December 12, 2013 by Nectaris Share this post Link to post
Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Do you mean who you would WANT to be your parent, or who would fit your personality and interests? You can post both if you'd like Originally it was supposed to post who would fit the personality and interests best, but I reckon many people would post who they would want to be their parent. So you can include the informations in your posts x) Edited December 12, 2013 by Slytherin7 Share this post Link to post
Posted December 12, 2013 Apollo - learning archery, want to be an inventing artist/writer, born near dawn... Share this post Link to post
Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Just a clarification. Some of your female "minor gods" are actually muses. And Estia, not Ermis, is one of the big 12. Edited December 12, 2013 by flitzthesoulreaper Share this post Link to post
Posted December 12, 2013 I think Hecate or Athena- I'd like Athena, but Hecate seems fitting. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 13, 2013 I think probably Artemis, I adore animals and get along better with them than I do other people. But I would also like Iris because RAINBOWS!! Share this post Link to post
Posted December 13, 2013 I think Athena would fit me best, but I'd love to be the daughter of Hecate. That would be so awesome. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 13, 2013 Hephaestus or Apollo I am a writer and an artist, as well as a singer (among other things). Those two seem the best suited to breed that. However, I cannot speak for looks. If I had to guess I would say Hebe would be the best comparison (I really do sound vain, don't I?) Share this post Link to post
Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) My passion for Greek mythology is a passion most people probably don't know I have. I read every single Percy Jackson book back in middle school and had all sorts of Greek mythology collections. I've always felt some sort of connection to Artemis, I guess. I'd say she's my favorite. Next would be Athena. Can't they all just be my parents? I can't pick one. I can't. Out of the Big Three, Poseidon. The Olympians: Artemis and Athena. Other/minor: Circe, Eris, Nyx Edited December 13, 2013 by glamoursea2 Share this post Link to post
Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) I am not a fan of Greek Mythology or the Percy Jacksons series, but I will choose one anyways. Using the method of choosing a God/Godess parent based on my personality or interests, I end up with the Greek Goddess Nemesis with my deep desires for justice and retribution in my everyday life.

Posted December 13, 2013 Speaking from a mythology standpoint, none of the virgin goddesses would have children. Ever. Percy Jackson has a sort of cop-out with Athena but they were all very protective of their chastity and would never have children. That being said, I would like to think of myself as being a child of Apollo because of my affinity towards the arts but, really, Ares suits me much more. I would so be the child of a war god. The virgin goddesses include: Artemis, Athena, Hestia and Hecate. Share this post Link to post

He probably has a bunch of kids lol Edited December 13, 2013 by Cecona Share this post Link to post
Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Most probably Hermes... except that thieves detail. No idea who would be my mom; if a goddess of total laziness and procrastination even exists, that would be her Edited December 13, 2013 by Light Concorde Share this post Link to post
Posted December 14, 2013 I'm feeling Athena or Apollo, they seem to fit! Share this post Link to post
Posted December 14, 2013 i don't really think any of them totally fit me? the closest ones i can pick out are iris or circe. i mean i've always sort of aligned myself with water but i'm not sure about the horses and earthquakes part. :U so i guess either iris or circe Share this post Link to post
Posted December 15, 2013 Based off of my traits, probably Hera, because I am naturally very motherly and nurturing to little kids and I really want to have a fmily. As for who I want, totally Hecate! Share this post Link to post
Posted December 15, 2013 Hrmm tough (Especially since I'm used to the Roman names) Probubbly Eris would be. And I'm perfectly happy with that Share this post Link to post
