I used to be Dionysus. But lately Bacchus seems to be gaining the upper hand.-
@Donlewis..Now this is a very interesting choice.
Got some books on Dionysus at home too. -

If anyone is wondering Dionysus and Bacchus are the same.

The Kelpie is my personal favourite. Why? Because one lives in the river at the foot of my garden.

I sure do admire it and I probably look a bit like it's humanoid form. For more details www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/folklore/scots_folk/kelpie.html

Lucifer. That pretty much goes without saying.
Why? Because I challenge God's authority (and existence).-

Ouch.

THAT'S RIGHT.

Sorry for the link. It is not to a site with anything to do with me. In my experience not many have heard of the Kelpie so included it for extra info.

@polybore. No problem the link is fine.
Thanks for the pic and link of Kelpie. I never heard of Kelpie.
Kelpie is new to me. I am reading about Kelpie now from your Link. -

Mighty Zeus also possessed the Aegis
www.infoplease.com/ce6/ent/A0802598.html
The shield of Jupiter made by Vulcan was so called, and symbolised “Divine protection.”
The shield of Minerva was called an ægis also.
The shield of Jupiter was covered with the skin of the goat Amalthæa, and the Greek for goat is, in the genitive case, aigos. The ægis made by Vulcan was of brass.
I throw my ægis over you,
I give you my protection.

I'd say a Centaur because I'm half man half horse, just the wrong halves sadly.-

I get a lot of spam for that at my Yahoo. -

Mythical Creature? Sure, this one is quite fascinating:
Imagine, an ex-black man framed on multiple occasions for no good reason! Ancient Rome has NOTHING on this guy!
(Ok fine, I don't like him because the girl I dated on and off for four years had a big thing for him..It's nothing personal against michael jackson.)-
LMAO...OH LORD.
That's it for me folks...Goodnight. -
It has to be a mythical creature though. No real person with a shred of humanity would dangle their kid off of a balcony. Why, this photo is an obvious fake made by people with nothing better to do and their computers:
Look at how the reflection doesn't coordinate with the sunlight!

Castor and Pollux - me and my imaginary twin bringing favorable winds-

One was mortal the other immortal, later kept together and transformed into the Gemini constellation. Not too bad.

Personally, I can't think of one, but I have a friend at work who tells me that I'm pretty much Cassandra.-
@MadameX...Oh no that sucks, the cursed prophetess.

Love gone wrong. How could Apollo really love that girl and then cursed her?
That is the trouble with Gods, they are jealous.

I don't know why but i always like Unicorn and Pegasus. It is said Unicorn could be captured only by unfair means, and his single horn was said to neutralize poison. And Pegasus had this wings where everywhere the winged horse struck his hoof to the earth, an inspiring spring burst forth.
If two of these creature combines into one, wow...

Who shall be last will one day be first and vice versa
There is another secret I failed to mention.
If anyone has the ability to overthrow Zeus, and many have tried, it would be Athena.
READ HERE. She has what it takes.
answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080520185440AA2ogXR
Athena was the daughter of Zeus and Metis. But there was a problem, Zeus checked up on Metis and found out that if he had a son by her this son would be mightier than him (you know, the same way he was greater than his daddy and his daddy was greater than his grandpa). So he tricked Metis and ended up swallowing her when she turned into a fly and figured she was no longer a threat. However, Metis was pregnant with Athena and when Athena was born, this turned into quite a problem. Soon Zeus was plagued with killer headaches and he ran to Hephaestus (Smith God) and begged him to open his head. Hephaestus did as he was told, and out popped Athena, full grown and ready for battle!
Athena as Zeus's favorite daughter also gets to use Zeus's weapons including his thunderbolt and the Aegis.
She could turn the tables on Zeus with it if she wanted to, after all she was predicted to be his undoing.
She is definately one to watch. -
Athena also possessed a Helmet that gave invisibility to it's wearer.
In the Movie the Clash of the Titans, Athena presented them to Perseus
to fight Medusa. She present him with the helmet & shield.
The helmet was supposed lost in the marsh while Perseus fought one of his enemies.
Here is a cool YouTube documentary on Ancient Weapons.
Ancient Greek warfare & technology was well advanced.

@Dukepro25...Yeah but he must of bled to death. That sucks.
The arrow wound probably struck a main artery in the heel/foot.-
Heck of a way to die.
So much for going out with a bang.

I resemble the mythical and terrifying Pooh Bear which is trying to drive all the old fairytales aways.-
@wehireu...You know I never had a Winnie the Poor Bear.
Instead I had one of those talking cricket dolls.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaC_rbQWZl0
This doll started talking to herself at night and we tried to throw it out in the trash
but a neighbor kept bringing it back and placing it right out front our front door.
When I opened the door in the morning to go to school, the damn doll is waiting for me.
I almost had a heart attack a few times. SCARY.

a changeling-
@WitchWoman..I saw that movie years ago(the Changeling)
with George C. Scott.
That is still one of the scariest movies I've seen.
Especially towards the end with the wheelchair.
Good God I was soooo spooked.

lol @Jeunelle I have never seen it, am basing it on myths and fairy tales

Me Too...hahahaha

I resemble the Popobawa a little bit but I don't do any of the things he does.-
LMAO! I would hope not, Matt. Because then I'd have *seriously* misjudged you.

Lucifer, because I think this dialog from "The Devil's Advocate" sums God up nicely. "Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off! He's a tight-ass! He's a SADIST! He's an absentee landlord! Worship that? NEVER!"-
Nobody yells a monologue like Pacino. Any movie that requires a long spiel to be yelled should be required to have Pacino to do it.

the Phoenix (catch on fire, burn to death, but somehow live to do it all over again) No links needed for the Phoenix, just read Harry Potter. -
Bigfoot - You will have to read my latest blog entry to understand why. www.blogonsmog.com -
I am a crossbreed of Athena and Venus my ID says it all
Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill.
Venus a Roman goddess of love and beauty. -
I'll tell you who I want to be-one of those Hindu Gods with 4 arms. My life is sooo busy. Those extra arms could be really helpful.
BTW-no one is going to say Buddha? I know there must be tons of Buddha look-alikes on BC.-
