Actually, I think the myth went that Helios gave up his job as god/titan of the sun, giving his title to Apollo. So, both of them ride a chariot, but Apollo currently does it, if Greek Myth was true.


Either way, I still love Apollo.

Does that count as a weapon? I know it can turn people into stone, but it was never really intended to be one. Just asking simple questions...

If it is meant for attacking, sure.

The Necklace of Harmonia is one of my favorites if it is considered as a weapon.

1. Hermes, no question for me, this god has an awesome personality

2. Illiad is probably my favorite, I really like the style and build of the story

3. My favorite weapon has to be the Shield of Achilles. Specially made for the best Greek fighter (I still think he could beat Kratos in a 1v1 martial combat only fight). Mostly just because of how the shield has a symbolic meaning and is used by someone who should pretty much be considered a weapon themselves.


And btw Cronos... As of this moment... You sir, are the swaggest of the swag.

1. Wow, that's a hard one. I would have to say Achillies, his story was amazing and I was enthralled by it and thusly I was kinda sad when he died.

2. The poem of Endymion, namely the version with Artemis (Technically it was her renassiance version Diana). So originally it was about a king with extreme beauty who caught the attention of Selene the titan of the moon, who convinced Zues to make him imortal for her so she could always be with him, but the imortality came in the form of an endless slumber. In the one with Diana is tells of the shepphard Endymion who was cursed to sleep forever and how Diana fell in love with him because of his timeless beauty and she has some inner struggle with his curse.

3. Does Pan's scream that invokes fear count? If not then the staff of Hermies, it actually has some cool origins.

Totally, it was used as a weapon in the war between the Titans and the Gods, so heck yeah!
