You scored as Greek Pantheonic Pagan, One of the best well-known pantheons around is Greek, due to the popularity of the Greek myths. Pagans who fall into this catagory tend to follow the Mother and Father images of Zues and Hera, but it's not at all uncommon for their patron deities to be other Greek Gods or Heroes, such as Ares, Hades, Persephone, Apollo, Artemis, or Dionysis. Lusty and dramatic, the Greek Gods call to those who like epic tales and wild romance. You either already are a Greek Pantheon follower, or else you look to them often for insight.

My Interests

Ancestor worship, throwing trees, breaking chains, rescuing princesses, battling various and sundry serpentine monsters, riding chariots, wearing armor, glistening in the sun, receiving massages, Greco-roman wrestling, realizing the perfection of the human physique within myself. I also have an acute interest in the olive oil trade.

I'd like to meet:
