There's an open position for the top throne of the gods and goddesses. Only one can sit there. The only qualification is that he or she be the people's choice. It's your turn to write his campaign slogan and tell the world in clear, standard, punctuated English why he or she is numero uno. This is just for fun, so posts that sound religious will probably not be approved, but this is at my sole discretion.

Remember this is a single throne. Two gods or goddesses cannot share it, so you may only nominate one entity. While it doesn't haven to be a member of the Greco-Roman pantheon, since it is a throne, the deity you nominate should be able to sit in a chair. Campaign for Top God/dess

Aphrodite

she's the goddess of love and beauty she would be a good goddess to have around when it comes to love.

Kali

Kali is my favorite for sure. She represents both strength and power as well as kindness compassion. Such a wonderful combination.
—Guest Pony

Poseidon

He is so awsome because he is in the big three and he can control water:)

PoseidonLover101

Poseidon is the best because he is one of big three and his girlfriend was MEDUSA. I wish he was my dad.
—Guest PoseidonLover

APOLLO!!

Apollo is definitely the best God. He is the god of some great things. Apollo is the god of music, poetry, oracles, and, in sometimes the Sun. He also rids a place of evil. Nothing beats that! He has a bow and arrow and a lyre. Apollo has to any skills to name them all. He is so much better than his twin sister. Making a choice is too easy. There is no compairison. APOLLO IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!

Tyr

He was the god of law and of war. He had such a great sense of duty that he sacrificed his own hand to bind Fenris. He was the patron of some of the greatest warriors in European history, the Norse berserkir, and of one of a court system, a rare sight in Europe of the time.

Hestia

Only ex-Olympian, severely under-rated and under-estimated. If she has control over homes then she has control of, amongst other things, domestic abuse. Obviously because of her temperament she'd never be like that but imagine if Ares had her powers?
—Guest Hesita FTW

Great Pan

Great Pan, the god of flocks and herds, forests and fields is the God I live to serve because I love all nature and work to preserve the natural world.
—Guest trevor Allan

Posideon

Posideon, in my opinion, is the best because he cand control water. Most of our earth is made up of water and we are too. If he wanted he could control us. He created my favorite animal, the horse, without which we probably couldn't have accomplished much. And last of all he is one of the big three.
—Guest Olympus

Athena!!! :D

She's the goddess of wisdom,war,and strategy.Plus,she's a strong woman.Wouldn't it be great to have her as Queen of the Gods with all those qualities? :D
—Guest Whatever

Poseidon

Poseidon should have the chair because he is probably the most powerful god of all the gods and goddesses. He created horses, which are essential to human life, and is the god of seas which means he can easily defeat his enemies. Earth is mostly water, and him controlling the water he is very influential over human life.
—Guest -Best Thing Ever

Definetly Ares the god of war

Super cool!! Might be a little mean but is awesome with weapons and responsibility. Ares is coooooool!!!!!!
—Guest American lady

Demeter

Demeter, goddess of Harvest and agriculture... IS AWESOME. I mean, who wouldn't want to have control of all plants? Cause plants not to grow? I mean.. this is pretty much life or death people, we survive on food, she has power over food. She is also depicted as a beautiful goddess. BEAUTIFUL AND AWESOME... AWESOME!!!
—Guest Demeter Lover

Athena!!!!

Athena is the best goddess! Wisdom, owls(I love owls), and war in a way.
—Guest Random Guest

Hestia

She gave her throne to Dionysis. She is very respectful and what's not to love about her?
