I choose Heracles because he has the most awesome statue, tbh

Pretty sure that's not rule breaking since it's legit art. I like how even though he looks like a damn beast there that we now live in an age where there are people who legitimately look like they could murder him. And I don't mean bodybuilders.

Orpheus all the way. Get out of here with your feats of strength and cunning, I'm about to charm this fucking rock with my poetry. That is some serious bad-assery.

Orpheus all the way. Get out of here with your feats of strength and cunning, I'm about to charm this smurfing rock with my poetry. That is some serious bad-assery.

And then he goes and specifically does the thing that he wasn't supposed to do in order to get his girlfriend back from the dead :p

Honestly, though, I love that story so friggin' much

Aw cut him some slack. Brother just got excited and wanted to look back real quick. I mean, between him and the freaking lord of the Underworld I think I know who I would be first to blame about the whole thing going haywire.

Poor Hades is just doing his job and then everyone says he's the devil or something when he's literally the nicest of his family.

Perseus. Not either of The Clash of the Titans versions, but Ovids. He's just flying around on his winged sandals when the warring winds start blowing him everywhere and he eventually runs into Atlas. He asks to stay for a while away from the winds but Atlas is all nooooo you'll steal my treasures, so Perseus pulls out Medusa's head and turns him into a mountain.

Typical Greek heroes are a total bag of douche nozzles. Name me one who wasn't a creep?

Though at least Patroclus died for his love, even if Achiles was a jerk face.

Harry Hamlin's Perseus was fantastic in my opinion. Far superior film to the garbage remake.

Don't revive old threads you nerd. You've disappointed me.

You know what you do when you revive things? Don't look back. Just ask Orpheus.

Anyway, Medusa is the best Greed Hero. I wish I could petrify things.

Here she is defeated the vile Tamamo and rescuing this poor girl.

Achilles. I might be biased as a Brad Pitt fan(girl) but I always liked the story of Troy. Pride comes before the fall or some such Trout.

Poor Orpheus. Poor guy just wanted to be happy with his wife and play music. :cry:

Bonus points for the Disney version of Hercules.

I started reading this webcomic (https://www.webtoons.com/en/romance/lore-olympus/episode-1/viewer?title_no=1320&episode_no=1) and, apart from being in love with the art, find the perspective of Hades to be sympathetic.

And I shall revive whatsoever I wish.

Lore Olympus is bae. I followed the artist on Tumblr and then they redid the art for the first few chapters and now post on webtoons. I adore it.

Wow ! That comic is really good ! Count me in as a fan ! :love:

Okay look I give up, if one of you could kindly read the OP properly and then ask "Wait who is Bophades?" so I can respond with "Bophades NUTZ!" that'd be really swell.

I like Bophades, he got into some hairy situations but always came out of it, never letting it make him feel blue.
