I think this is a gen chat topic. Let's not get hung up on what deifacted means... in starting.
Anyway, most gods, titans, saints, angels, demons and other creatures of legend boil down to a common origin, possibly pre-Babylonian (when after the Babel Tower fell, cultures scattered and languages went haywire).
I've been thinking about it and while I may have certain preferences for how these mythological icons are depicted, I don't dwell too heavily on it. But I definitely have favorite names.
Some of my favorites include Kronos and Tartarus (G), Mercury and Silvanus (R), Osiris and Anubis (E), Tiamat (B), Hel (N), Ishtar (S), Quetzalcoatl (M). For Greek, I do also like Artemis, Asclepius, and Persephone. In Eastern practice, I like Izanagi, Amaterasu, Fujin, and Raijin for Japanese and for Chinese, well, mostly just Sun Wukong.
I'm still building a longer list, but these are the tops. Anyone else got faves? Remember you don't need to specify what the god/goddess is about. Just the name, why it sounds cool to you, and possibly its origin though I can likely look that up myself.
