Dionysus wins in my book! The God of ecstasy... how do you beat that?

Wine, Women, Agriculture, Theater..... Born from a mortal Mom..... He sounds like barrels of fun to me!

Ptolemy IV Philipator, King of Egypt (r.221-205 BCE), had eleaborote ceremonies in honor of Dionysus. After marrying his sister, Arsinoe III, and impregnating her with an heir, he shunned her in the opposite end of the castle while he held daily drunken orgies as part of the Cult of Dionysus.

Good times.

Another interesting fact, Ptolemy IV was "worshipping" Dionysus so much that he had no time to run the country and a corrupt, murderous official name Sosidious was left to run the entire country.

I'm a fan of Loki from Norse mythology though.

I gotta go with Eris/Discordia, the godess of chaos and discord, I mean she started the Trojan War because she wasn't invited to a party.

Eros, the god of love for this era- the winged little one...

However, there is a romantic legend that puts even Romeo & Juliet to shame.
This Celtic legend is about Aengus, the Irish god of love and his search for a maiden. See -www.pantheon.org.

I know this is going to sound predictable, but to me it's Hades. I just love how he is sort of the Dark brother of Zeus, WHO IS SO OVER RATED BY THE WAY! and I think my next favorite is Posiden, because I love the ocean and he deserves a lot of respect for the Under water world he created in the mythology!
