Pandora, definately. (Which should be apparent as she is me and all.) I like her best because of the entire myth surrounding her. I find the thought of one person letting out all the evils of the world to be mind boggling.

It's hard for me to decide. I'm stuck between Hermes and Loki.
Hermes I like because he seems to me to sort of be a under-the-radar god, you know? In recent days, most people think of him as just the messenger god, but he's so much more...
And Loki I like because he's different from all the other Norse figures. I mean, he's not even a god but he's good friends with all of the gods, and if you didn't know his parents you would never guess he wasn't actually one of them. Also, I like the mischievous, trickster-ness of him. He's not really -evil-, persay, but he sure seems like it sometimes.

Of all time? I think it would have to be Hyacinthus, Apollo or maybe Somnus... *ponders*
But just for this week, I like Hermaphroditus the best. The myth behind him is really interesting and makes me think. Poor guy... sweatdrop

And bells. The bells are nice.
Laughs... my favorites... Yes, Loki. He has a good lot of depth for a mythological character (I think that is what drew me to Norse mythology in the first place, the gods seemed more real to me than those in, dunno, say Egyptian or Greek.) And Nanna, yay for selfsacrifice and not being able to live without your love.

Odin is my favorite. He's the ruler of the Gods, has an 8-legged horse, his son is the god of thunder and lightning, and has the great hall Valhalla.

I have an odd fascination with the African goddess-turned seductress devil Qandisa and the good djinn named Lalla Rekya Bint el Khamar (sp?)... But I also liked Jormungand of norse myth and Morrigan of... I belive Celtic myth, but sadly I haven't read up on mythology in almost a year now... Gotta find all my old notes and books, I know they're somewhere around here.

Gotta find all my old notes and books, I know they're somewhere around here. Yes, Morrigan is Celtic. Also known as the Morrigu, Great Queen, Supreme War Goddess, Queen of Phantoms & Demons, and Spectre Queen. She's a shape-shifter who had a favored form of a carrion crow. She's the goddess of war, fury, moon, faeries, rivers' lakes, fresh water and death. She never fought in battle, she only used her magic to assist warriors. She is the crone aspect of the Goddess and her symbol is a raven or crow. In battle, she brings Fea (Hateful), Nemon (Venomous), Badb (Fury) and Macha (Battle) to encourage fighters into a blood lust. She is also the patroness of priestesses and witches. ( Celtic Magic, Conway, D.J. pg. 113-114)

Something like she was coming onto him and in one way or another they got in a fight, he got her eye, and later she somehow made him lose in battle and get decapitated then had something like a beaver drink his blood?
