Top 10 Greek Goddesses
I have always loved Athena, and she's always been my favorite goddess. I love how smart she is and how she doesn't depend on other people to get what she wants.

I like Athena a lot. Not because my name is Athena, but because she is very smart and very beautiful. Not even beautiful. A synonym for her beauty is a word that can't be described.
Athena, in other words, is very wise and powerful. If she was going against a god (male), she would win. Right now, if she was in a classroom, she would be answering every question correctly, getting A's and 100% on every test.
People sometimes in school are like zombies, not because they're sleepy, but because they don't use their brains! But Athena does, so she's not a zombie because she uses her brain. By the way, I am only eight years old.
I have also always loved Artemis. I like her for one of the same reasons as Athena: she doesn't depend on anyone to get what she wants. Also, she's awesome with a bow, and I could never be that good (I can't even shoot it three inches without it falling, or it just comes out of the bow when I'm notching it).

She's a maiden huntress, unmatched with the bow. She has saved several maidens from stupid boys chasing after them, trying to turn them into obedient housewives.
She teaches us that we don't need to rely on anyone else or change ourselves to get what we want. In this world, you can only trust yourself.
I like her. She was one of the three original Greek goddesses who was kind and pretty. Sure, Hera was beautiful, but she had a giant attitude. Hestia was really nice and kind, but she was not said to be the most beautiful goddess in creation.
So, I vote for Demeter to be No. 1! Demeter just has so much story and sorrow behind her. She is a truly interesting character!
Demeter is the Earth Mother. She is very protective of her daughter Persephone. She's awesome!
She is the best. Vote for her to be #1!
Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty. She is the most beautiful of the Greek goddesses, to the point where most of the gods were in love with her.
Additionally, she has a girdle that makes any man who lays eyes upon her fall completely in love with her and do anything for the enchanting Aphrodite. And that's if you weren't already wrapped around her little finger by the fact that she is so drop-dead gorgeous.
For me, Aphrodite is the most important and most powerful goddess. Not like Artemis or Athena, but in a different way. She was said to be born from the genitals of the father of Titans, which makes her older than the gods.
If she wants, she can even make the Virgin goddesses like Artemis and Athena go into the arms of men. That's the type of war she engages in, which is much deadlier and more dangerous than those fought with weapons.
Hestia is very warm-hearted and the eldest goddess (technically), even though she was the last to come out of Kronos' stomach. She is the goddess of the hearth. Hestia is very calm and nice. She has warm eyes and a welcoming smile.
If you wanted to meet a nice, warm, sweet, and calm goddess, choose Hestia. She was also an Olympian, but she gave up her spot to Dionysus because she did not want a throne. Additionally, she is the "Last Olympian" in The Last Olympian.
She is a quiet goddess, and she will not have a family. She is a warm and friendly goddess, and she is one of the three original goddesses.
The one who decides the fate of death. Life and death are inevitable, and there's nothing to disagree about. Everything that is made is bound to die. So live, don't just survive, because every second is precious.
To me, Persephone is the BEST goddess out of them all. She got kidnapped, her life was changed because of Hades. A girl who couldn't do anything is now a queen!
A beautiful goddess. Before Aphrodite, she was the most beautiful goddess, having large eyes (considered beautiful in ancient times) and "white arms."
Anyone who pisses her off is a fool. She is powerful as well. There is a reason why the Greeks made her Queen of the Olympians. If she was really weak, the ancient Greeks wouldn't have worshipped her. They wouldn't have called her the "Supreme Goddess" or Basilêia (Queen of All).
Personally, I think Hera is one of the most powerful Greek goddesses. She has put up with so much! First of all, Zeus cheats on her a LOT. Sure, she has some evil to her, but that's what makes her so fascinating.
Thetis is the mother of Achilles, but that is not all she should be remembered for. She is also a Nereid, the leader of fifty sisters.
Eos is the goddess of the dawn, and she was cursed by Aphrodite.
Gaia, Gaia, Gaia, it is time. You know how man has infected you. Gaia, you have the power to set man back to prehistory again. Man cannot be trusted, for the "business" of man is the reason you regularly purify and cleanse yourself.
Gaia, you know which individuals of man love you and respect you collectively. Your wrath will wake up man to the fact that all worlds are alive. Worlds cannot tolerate species that disrespect their mother and host. Gaia, you know not all humans are evil. As a living world and being, you know how to hygienically provide for and nurture yourself.
Gaia, you know the voices of all, and you know man can't be purged entirely out of existence. You are the gatekeeper of space and time for all who inhabit you. The evils of man are the reason to give man a wake-up call about how godly and feared you are. Gaia, you are beautiful as a queen who should be respected as any mother.
Mother Gaia, you know why man happened to you because it was destined for you, which is your soul contract written by the creation of the God Family.
Aphrodite gave her such a hard time, and she still kept going.
Selene is actually one of the goddesses (maybe the number one on the list) that I look up to the most!
You got to give her some credit! Selene was the old goddess of the moon, and I admire her!
Selene is the one who raises and sets the moon. Talk about girl power!
Iris is the goddess of the rainbow! This happens when the sun shines through the rain.
Hecate is the best goddess! She's the goddess of magic, witchcraft, night, the moon, necromancy, crossroads, mist, sorcery, and darkness! She also received powers of heaven, earth, and sea. She's amazing! She's an extremely powerful goddess, and even Zeus respected her. For me, she is the BEST!
I would love to know more about her. I connected with her from the start. My ancestors came from Greece, but I thought I was Italian.
An underrated but utterly powerful goddess. Even Zeus respected her. She was the goddess of witchcraft, but also of newborn babies. Isn't that awesome?
Khione is one with the snow. Her power is by far the coldest, and even though she has a cold personality, she has one of the coolest powers you can imagine. What's better than keeping your enemies as ice statue trophies? Just kidding.
My favorite season is winter, and she causes it!
Khione is awesome! Her unique snow-like-ness
I like this goddess because she is the queen of the sea and mother of Triton. That makes her the grandmother of Ariel, and she is very pretty!
She is probably one of the fairest goddesses. I mean, she DOES NOT cheat on Poseidon! Plus, who doesn't love the queen of the sea?
The goddess of the sea. So lovely and the mother of marine life, the one we should all protect.
Nyx is amazing! She's the primordial of night and mother to many monsters!
Stars to gaze at night. What some say people become after they die, like light giving us hope.
Goddess of the stars. I mean, that's awesome, am I right or am I right?
We are talking about Nike, the goddess of victory. If you have won anything, thank Nike.
Calypso, in Greek mythology, is the daughter of the Titan Atlas (or Oceanus or Nereus), a nymph of the mythical island of Ogygia. In Homer's Odyssey, Book V (also Books I and VII), she entertained the Greek hero Odysseus for seven years, but she could not overcome his longing for home even by promising him immortality.
At last, the god Hermes was sent by Zeus, the king of the gods, to ask her to release Odysseus. According to Hesiod's Theogony, she bore Odysseus twin sons, Nausithous and Nausinous.
She is just so dreamy, pretty, and kind. I haven't read many myths about her, but she is pretty cool anyway.
Literally, Eris, goddess of discord and strife, doesn't matter! She's amazing. She does help with disagreement, though, but I think she's cool!
She's not talked about much, but she's the goddess of youth. She can make a young person old or do the complete opposite and make an old person young again. She has total control over a person's age. If only we had that power. That's awesome!
All I have to say is I think she is a pretty interesting god!
