Steven asks…
modern day greek god/goddess?
helpp. i need to pick a celebrity and parallel them to a greek god/goddess. an example was marilyn monroe to aphrodite. I was maybe thinking martha stewart for hestia (goddess of hearth and home). can anyone think of a better one?! maybe oprah? ha. i just don’t know.
Andrew answers:
Cameron Dias came to mind… She’s very goddess looking…
Any blonde bombshell could be Aphrodite…
Look up the names and atributes of the Greek Pantheon, and see who parallels with them currently.

William asks…
What do you think of my drama play? =)?
An original script, written by me, based on the Greek gods and Godesses…What do you think? xx
Drama Mythical Script
“The Golden Apple”
Summary:
The script follows the life of the Gods and Goddesses living on Mount Olympus. The beginning depicts Zeus’s unfaithful ways, as he unsuccessfully hits on a sea nymph. There is a wedding, between Gaea and Apollo that is going to take place. Everyone except Eris, Goddess of Conflict, is invited. Eris realises how much conflict there is over beauty, so she tosses in an apple inscribed with the words “For the Fairest.” This lands between Hera, Athene, and Aphrodite. Zeus cannot decide who should get the apple, without angering two of them, so he chooses Prince Paris to be the judge. Paris’s decision results in the Trojan War. Towards the end of the play, Hera is still angry and sulking and her and Zeus fight constantly. Aphrodite, as the goddess of love has a plan to help them fall back in love.
