Actually, in a lot of myths, Poseidon and Hades were given thrones in Olympus, as was Hestia - there were three thrones often unoccupied, though, because Hades preferred the Underworld, Poseidon preferred the sea, and Hestia was forever tending he hearth.

I'm a huge Greek Mythology buff, too. =)

Ugh XDD

Finnee, proved wrong xD
I'm not a buff....yet.
But thank you :)

[lawrencedark]

XD Well, not necessarily proved wrong - there are a lot of different myths about all of the deities. As far as I know, the most common version is that Poseidon resided on Olympus, predominantly, though.

And no problem. =) If you ever wanna ramble about mythology, I am always open to it! O=

[awe_some_ness]

Ahaha.
I thought I was being so knowledgeful xD

But it's all so fascinating. and so much more interesting than today's religions IMO.

I <3 It.

[lawrencedark]

XD Not saying you weren't - I've been reading about it since grade five, though, so a good.... seven and a half years, now? All a matter of how much time we've put into it - I bested my English teacher in grade 9 when he was trying to teach us mythology. I kept correcting him.

It really is - and what I really like is how much of it is still in our psyches, how many associations we automatically make that are taken from Greek (or, more often, Roman) mythology - likely from when the Romans conquered most of Europe. Today's religions are pretty interesting as well, though.

I do too. xD My favourite deity is Dionysus, though. =b

[awe_some_ness]

Ahahaha. I've had...what a day or two...No that's probably lies, because Ir ead the first one ages ago. But I didn't do much in between reading.
Awesome!

Dionysus? From what I've read he's a bit of a wanker XD....I ♥ Poseidon...so much. And Athena. And I love the idea of Artemis.

But I need to go into it more.
I have actually just ordered a book from amazon, which I will read and then I shall be clever XD

[lawrencedark]

Haha, see? For a couple days, things like Poseidon spawning horses from the sea (the first ones were sea-foam white =b) are pretty damned good. XD

Dionysus is basically the god of having a good time. xD God of wine, with connections to song as well. I also like Poseidon; Athena's a bit too stuffy in most myths for me to like her much. Artemis, I love as well. Once she was caught bathing by one of her hunters, and because she prized her virginity so much, she turned him into a stag and commanded her own pack of hounds to tear him to pieces.

[awe_some_ness]

Hahaha.

Yes...but Dionysus is the god of madness as well isn't he....he had a talent of sending people mad xD

Artemis is awesome :)
I also like Apollo...I have a piece of Apollo based artwork actually.

I was just reading about Hephaestus, it's really interesting!

[lawrencedark]

I've heard that as well, yeah. But I'm insane, so it fits. =)

She is. XD For that one story alone. And Apollo's interesting on the surface, but the more I learned about him, the less I liked him, to be honest. Reminds me a lot of some people I know of whom I'm not overly fond. But his artwork is usually pretty well-done.

He is! Very much a little-guy-winning story. Aphrodite's beginning is very interesting, as well.

[awe_some_ness]

LOL! Aww.
Really? I will have to look into him more..

Yes! He became very cunning as he went on.
I will definitely go look her up too!
