Greek Pantheon

Lawful Good
Prometheus
Favored Weapon: Longsword (Or flaming Longsword)
Domains: Good, Fire, Law.
Prometheus is a Titan god of fire. He is credited with the creation of humanity from clay, and of defying the gods by stealing fire and giving it to mankind. For this transgression, Zeus sentenced him to eternal torment.

Helios
Favored Weapon: Morningstar
Domains: Good, Sun, Law.
Helios was the Titan of the sun, but has faded due to lack of worship. His duty of driving the Sun Chariot was passed on to Apollo by Zeus. His followers are few now, as his priests hold on to a slowly dying faith.

Neutral Good
Athena
Favored Weapon: Short-spear and Large Shield.
Domains: Good, War, Knowledge.
Besides the sin of cursing Medusa, Athena is regarded as the patron of various cities across Greece. Athena is the goddess of war. She inspires and guides heroes; her aid is synonymous with military prowess. Representing the intellectual and civilized side of war, she is the divine form of the heroic, martial ideal and personifies excellence in combat.

Demeter
Favored Weapon: Sickle
Domains: Good, Plant, Earth.
Demeter is the goddess of the harvest, agriculture, presiding over crops, grains, food, and the fertility of the earth. She is a kind and loving mother to her faithful, as many farmers and druids alike prayer to her.

Chaotic Good
Hermes
Favored Weapon: Staff
Domains: Good, Chaos, Travel, Trickery.
Hermes is the god of wealth, sleep, language, thieves, and travel. Hermes plays the role of the psychopomp or "soul guide"—a conductor of souls into the afterlife.

Lawful Neutral
Hades
Favored Weapon: Scythe
Domains: Law, Death, Knowledge.
Hades is the god of the Underworld and the god of the dead. Hades is the trusted judge of the dead (along with his personal choice of jurors). Part of this job means that Hades has to keep the order of nature by maintaining the cycle of life. When he punishes people, it is not out of bitterness, jealousy, or revenge, but simply because they had upset the balance of life and death.

Hephaestus
Favored Weapon: Warhammer
Domains: Law, Protection, Fire.
Hephaestus is the god of blacksmiths, metalworking, carpenters, craftsmen, artisans, sculptors, metallurgy and forge's fire. He was cast off Mount Olympus by his mother, Hera because of his deformed body and lameness. As a smithing god, Hephaestus made almost all the weapons of the gods in Olympus. He serves as the blacksmith of the gods, and is worshipped in manufacturing and industrial centers.

True Neutral
Gaia
Favored Weapon: Club or Greatclub
Domains: Earth, Plant, Water.
Gaia is the goddess of Earth, mother of all life. She was one of the primordial elemental deities, born at the dawn of creation. Gaia is the great mother of all creation.

Artemis
Favored Weapon: Any Bow
Domains: Animals, Travel, Plant.
Artemis is the goddess of wild animals, the hunt, vegetation and of chastity and childbirth. She is the twin sister of Apollo. Artemis embodied the sportsman’s ideal, so besides killing game, she also protected it. Artemis’s unpitying anger and wrath when she feels slighted can be great and terrible.

Selene
Favored Weapon: Dagger
Domains: Magic, Knowledge.
Selene is the Titan goddess of the moon. She is depicted as a woman riding a chariot drawn by a pair of winged steeds. Her lunar sphere or crescent is a crown set upon her head. Selene can be described as a seductive, peaceful and kind goddess, as well as very secluded and timid; whilst her brother, Helios, is flashy, she prefers to be hidden in the shadows.

Chaotic Neutral
Aphrodite
Favored Weapon: Whip
Domains: Trickery, Chaos, Protection.
Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty. Aphrodite loves to meddle in the romantic lives of mortals; she found this exceedingly delightful. She does not care if such meddling leads to wars and ruin, happiness and delight.

Dionysus
Favored Weapon: Flail
Domains: Luck, Destruction, Chaos.
Dionysus is the god of the wine, festivity, insanity and madness. Excessive drinking and debauchery generally accompanied the cult of Dionysus. A barrel of wine, a bunch of grapes in his hand or a wreath of vines crowning his head are rarely missing when he is seen.


Lawful Evil
Hera
Favored Weapon: Fist (unarmed strike)
Domains: Evil, Law, Protection.
Hera, queen of the gods, is the goddess of contracts, rulers and nobility. When Zeus breaks his marriage vows to her, which is often, Hera shows no mercy. Sending snakes to murder a baby or making a man go insane and murder his wife and children, and then punishing him or the snakes for it is all fair to Hera. Still Hera protects those who worship and/or fear her.

Neutral Evil
Ares
Favored Weapon: Bastard sword
Domains: Evil, War, Strength.
Ares is the god of war and the spirit of battle. He represents the aspects of brutal warfare, violence and slaughter. When seen, Ares is heavily armored with a big sword or spear in one hand and a large shield in the other.

Apollo
Favored Weapon: Any Bow
Domains: Evil, Sun, Fire.
Apollo is the god of art, prophecy, archery, plagues and the sun. He has almost entirely given himself over to evil, being able to deceive his own father, the king of the gods Zeus. Apollo takes what he wants.

Chaotic Evil
Poseidon
Favored Weapon: Trident
Domains: Evil, Water, Chaos.
Poseidon is the god of the sea and earthquakes. In a pantheon full of gods who do horrible things, Poseidon and his brother Zeus may be the worst. He's the god of the seas, more capricious and unpredictable than any, and he asks sacrifices from everyone who dares go to sea.

Zeus
Favored Weapon: Javelin
Domains: Evil, Air, Chaos.
Zeus is the king of the gods, and the god of thunder and the sky. The supreme god who decides what are the rules and who should obey them. He makes the law, sets rules in place that he breaks constantly, all while punishing others for doing the same. Zeus is prideful, cruel and full of wrath. He's also known for his infidelities and his many human children.
