Battle of the Gods

Don't worry, this isn't some page about religion. This is a page where you get to vote which God/goddess is your favorite from mythology. I pick the different ones from any mythology around the world and let's see who likes which better. Below is the one's I've chosen for this time.


THE WINNER BETWEEN "Tlaloc & Tezcatlipoca"

Tlaloc!!!

He won by a landslide!


Special Note: The goddesses this time are from Greek mythology!
Persephone
Persephone is the daughter of Demeter, who's the goddess of Earth. Persephone's father was said to be Zeus. Both mother and daughter where very close. Persephone is also the queen of the underworld. She was kidnapped by Zeus's brother, Hades, who'd fallen deeply in love with her one day when he saw her picking wild flowers. Because Persephone ate 4 pomagranant seeds, she couldn't return to her mother. Demeter threatened that the Earth would never bloom and grow again, so Zeus said that 4 out of the 12 months of the year, Persephone would stay with Hades and the other 8 months, she'd stay with Demeter. So, when Persephone is underground, the Earth becomes bare and cold, making winter. It is said that after a while, Persephone became cold and distant like the dead and her husbend, it is also said that she soon began to love him.
Psyche (s-iy-ch-ee)
Psyche is said to be the goddess of butterflies. When she became a goddess, the first butterfly became known. She wasn't ALWAYS a goddess, she was suppose to be the most beautiful woman known in all of Greece. The daughter of a king! She was so beautiful, in fact, that people began to worship her instead of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love! Psyche hated it, for she knew no good would come of ignoring a god - much less Aphrodite, who could easily become jealous and was known for her wrath - and she was right. Aphrodite became so angry that she sent her son, Eros (better known as Cupid), to her. "Prick her with one of your arrows so she falls in love with the first man she sees," Aphrodite instructed, "and make sure that man is the ugliest the world has ever known! Make sure he's a drunkard and beats her!" Eros went to do his mother's bidding, but when he found Psyche, asleep in her garden, he thought she was the most beautiful mortal he'd ever seen and crept closer. Just as he was about to prick her, she stired, surprising him, and he pricked himself! Immediately, he fell deeply in love with her. It is said that he arranged it so she came to his secret home in the mountains, and only came to her at night, saying that she must never gaze upon him. Psyche, happy for a bit, began to tire of her lonely days and her mysterious husbend. She became unhappy and finally her husbend allowed her sisters to visit. They where jealous and immediately said, "Oh, you must have an ogre for a husbend and that is why he won't let you see him. Once he is done with you, he'll kill you." Because of this, Psyche lit a candle at night, while her husbend slept. But, it wasn't a ogre, it was the beautiful Eros. But he awoke and flew off. It is said that Psyche went to Aphrodite and had to undertake many tests, but finally they where united again! (Go here for a more detailed story of Psyche & Eros)
