(and they are rumored to battle Medb a.k.a. Maeve, so the way is clear)

--- Quote from: Electric MacButters on January 08, 2013, 02:51:53 PM ---Personally, I'm pretty sure Heimdall has been in almost every book. He was/is the watcher, guardian of the bifrost bridge and first line of defense against the invasion of Asgard (and there is a nagging thought in the back of my head that he was only supposed to speak when sounding a warning, but I may well be wrong). Now who do we know that rarely speaks, has preternatural healing, jokes with Odin, and was called 'the observer' by his enemies? ;D

Being that they are both supposed to sound a horn to signal the end of the world, my current theory is that Heimdall is an aspect of Gabriel.
Id like to see Cain, personally.

Athena still has worshipers? I know she's one of the better known greek gods and she's symbolically represented in a lot of places but I didn't realize anyone still literally worshiped her anymore.

a few hundred thousand or so, as herself. A few million if you get into the 'mantles' as the DF uses the term. But I meant as total worshippers in history.
73 different relgions + thousands of years + most popular pagan goddess in western history = some truly ridiculous numbers
Second Aristh:
--- Quote from: Cruness on January 08, 2013, 02:12:43 PM ---Apollo has Sun, Light, intellect, prophecy, and truth among others. Primarily my exposure to Apollo has been as a god of wisdom enlightenment and intellect. The Greek god of of war was Ares. If he has appeared as one of the immortals I would bet he got rolled into Odin, but I don't see the Erlking as a fit at all.

I like the way that my professor once described Apollo. The god of everything the Greeks were really proud of (prophecy, healing, light, civilization, etc.)
Ares was the god of war, but mainly the bad aspects of war. He was the guy that none of the other Olympians really liked (even his daddy Zeus ;D ). Athena took over the respectable aspects of war. Once you get to the Romans, Mars was given more respect
