Well, I was more thinking along the lines of Mother Winter revealed. Mab is only 1 aspect of the Morrigan (weirdly enough Maeve, the adversary of the morrigan, is her daughter), maybe mother winter has the other 2...
Oh, and only current worshippers count in power at a given moment. Else stuff gets ridicilous... real fast... It also explains why odin woudl want to take up the mantle of Santa clause and become the king of winter (I mean, that woudl mean consorting with Mab, which is exciting to say the least, never a dull moment) becuase a lot of people (almost the complete western world) believes in Santa in one way or another...
also, does anyone else have the feelign that the lords and gentlemen of Faerie are a lot nicer and reasonable then the ladies? Gruff seems to indicate such sentiments...

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

true, however the greatest greek god (and simultaneously the least respected) was Dionysus: God of booze, booty and paaartay! I totally see Molly worshipping him by doing the one woman rave 8)
Lind:
Pele or any of the many things in Hawaiian legend. Having Jim dig around and play with some of the mythology from where I grew up if he ever writes the Murphy/Kincaid in Hawaii story would make me very happy.
Frankenstein's creature, the Golem, Talos, etc. I would love to see Jim's take on artificially constructed beings with minds of their own.

I would like to see Jims version of Tinkerbell (since my other picks have been taken)

73 different relgions + thousands of years + most popular pagan goddess in western history = some truly ridiculous numbers

My word, you've got to be one of the most historically knowledgeable people I've ever encountered :-)
I see what you mean, though. I was thinking of it the way Neil Gaiman portrays the issue wherein only the number of current people who actually worship a particular deity makes a difference in their power base. However, now that I think about it, I agree that that total historical numbers would matter in the DV, at least in terms of the Oblivion War, since Athena is very unlikely to be forgotten about any time soon.

Not only history. The Lady Duck knows science and math too. It just isn't fair ;D
