Loki. How can you not admire a guy who gets pregnant and gives birth to a horse?

And then Freya's pretty cool too, cool enough to be played by Eartha Kitt.

Thank God it's Freya's Day

Thor.

I have a thing for blonde and muscular...

Creature would have to be Dragons, 'cause they rule! And mythological god/goddess is either Aphrodite or Eros maybe even all of the Olympians, can't decide.

Perseus! <3 I think he's very savvy and I loved his adventures to save his mother

I understood Shakespeare used a few tiny facts to create a great dramatic, fictional and mythic character.

[TheLyingGame]

Medusa is the first that comes to mind.

 

[hylas]

oh... i dont have one single fav, but im generally fascinated by them!

i like angels and centaurs, harpys, sirens, gorgons, succubi and incubi, and i like the amazons and witches.

also, knights, rogues, and archers, but i guess theyre not techincally mythological.

also, thor, but admittedly only because of hemsworth ^^

Not quite. I think Richard's short reign was and is reasonably well documented and, at the time Shakespeare was writing, he'd only been dead for 100 years. The play was partly Tudor propaganda given that Richard had a much stronger right to the throne than Henry Tudor (Henry VII), but was based mostly on fact except for two things. Firstly, there's no historical evidence that Richard was a hunchback. Secondly, there's still debate about whether Richard really was responsible for the deaths of the Princes in the Tower.

I've always thought Poseidon was pretty cool but I also love the story of Achilles and the way he was dipped in the river Styx by his ankle.

I'd like to add Witches, Whitelighters, Witchlighters, Power Rangers, The Phoenix Force, and that's all folks!
