Not my type of entertainment but I did wrote a song about the goddesses of the waters in Santeria, goddess of the ocean (Yemaya) and goddess of the rivers and lakes (Oshun). Sorry... it is salsa and is in spanish. But is very nice to dance to. And no I have never practiced santeria....
What got the ball rolling for me was the Egyptian mythos. Those animal headed gods just looked so bad-assed. Anubis in particular. Then the Hellenistic pantheon. Then the Norse. After that, D&D just opened the floodgates. My group incorporated any pantheon we could get any info on.
I liked Chris Hemsworth better as the dumb, but pretty, secretary in Ghostbusters, but his overly bulked body as Thor annoys me, and they are wasting his talent for humor.
The Norns, three women from the ice giant world . They live at the root of Yggdrasil, the World tree,, guard the fountain of Urd and water the tree. Their names are Urdr, Verdandi and Skuld. They are the most powerful beings in Norse mythology; even the gods fear and respect them. Urdr spins a thread for each being's lifetime; Verdandi measures and weaves it into the fabric of life and Skuld cut it off. As my grandson says: these ladies are gangster. I don't understand everything he says, but it means strong orcool or something
Mine would be Posiedon , hope thats spelled right
For me it's the Greek gods.
The stories were a veritable soap opera of all of life's foibles - passionate, angry, vengeful, deceptive and didn't pretend to be all good and openly used us as playthings.
Splendid!
Well, if you're talking entertainment, then I have to say Thor (Chris Hemsworth)... In the movie Troy, it would be Achilles (Brad Pitt)... What can I say, I have a thing for hot gods. Although I hear Zeus was quite the scoundrel. But I'm no Ganymede... not anymore.
