Bastet

Bastet was not depicted as a human or an animal. She was a mix of both. Now having the thinking capabilities, emotions, and build of a human (besides her head). She also would have had the reflexes and senses of a cat, making her superior to us in any way.

Gaea

No Gaea, no titans, no gods. Simple as that. She is the goddess of the earth and she CREATED her own husband.

The Great Artemis

She may be a maiden but she sure can use a bow and arrow.She is thoughtful when she takes in young women so they do not have their hearts broken by the men of society. She knows how to hunt down her enemy and strike with her fellow maidens behind her. GO ARTEMIS !!;)

Apollo the amazing sun archer

Apollo is the best god because he has piercing arrows that destroy all of his enemies including the serphent that Hera sent to eliminate Apollo's mother.Since she married Zeus,Hera got jealous and underestimated Apollo and his arrows rained on top of the serphent.That's why I love Apollo.

Loki

The ultimate prankster god, he's mischievous and cunning. Not just a nuisance though, he does help the gods sometimes as well as causing havoc.

Posideon

He rules the waters which give life, by far he is one of the most important gods. Everything needs water. Most of the Earth is of water. Lord of the Seas and Storms creator of the horses. When you look at it he is powerful.

Athena is the best

Athena is obviously the best goddess because she is a strong woman and she is the goddess of battle and strategies. She is smart and she is a virgin:)

Apollo

A fantastic god, like humans he has both a light and dark side. he is the god of Music, healing and of the sun. he is also the god of destiny, as his golden rays shed light on the darkness and the god of youthfulness..he has always been my number one god and although I have read several other mythologies Apollo is my king of the gods

Virgin War Goddess(:

Athena is the god of war, and not even in the destructive aspect. She is a strategic person. The majority of the wars she was involved in, she won. She was born by her father Zeus, already fully armored. She is still a virgin, though Permethius attempted to rape her. She has a son by him, that was birthed by Gaia, after she wiped the seed of the assault off of her leg. And if that isn't enough she is also the goddess of arts and crafts. AMAZING!!!!!

Bastet the rightful ruler

Bastet is the cat goddess of ancient Egypt . She worked for the sun god Ra. Then Ra sent her on the most important mission of ANY god! She has to fight the major god of chaos , Apophis the giant snake! Locked in the jail of Apophis she had to eternity protect mortals from chaos and. Destruction! Ancient egyptions took this for granted and made Horus the god of war the god of gods. But in retrospect they should have thought about having being grateful for a cat woman saving their life's every single day of their mortal life's !! I think and know Bastet or bast deserves some recognition for a change!!!! VOTE BAST FOR GOD!!!

Nemesis

Nemesis gets a really bad rap as the goddess of revenge. She is the goddess of balance. An eye for an eye, a limb for a limb. In a way, yeah that's still revenge, but in a deserved way. By the way, Nemesis is never listed in lists of Greek/roman deities, which isn't very nice.

Bastet

Bastet is the ancient Egyptian goddess of cats. Cats are clearly the most superior animal on earth, so the goddess of cats should be the most superior of the Gods.
—Guest Felis

Athena

Athena is the best goddess ever! She is the goddess of wisdom and owls. Who does not like owls?
