I would be Themis.
Themis was the Titan goddess of divine law and order--the traditional rules of conduct first established by the gods. She was also a prophetic goddess who presided over the most ancient oracles, including Delphoi. In this role, she was the divine voice (themistes) who first instructed mankind in the primal laws of justice and morality, such as the precepts of piety, the rules of hospitality, good governance, conduct of assembly, and pious offerings to the gods. In Greek, the word themis referred to divine law, those rules of conduct long established by custom. Unlike the word nomos, the term was not usually used to describe laws of human decree.
Themis was an early bride of Zeus and his first counsellor. She was often represented seated beside his throne advising him on the precepts of divine law and the rules of fate.
Themis was closely identified with Demeter Thesmophoros ("Bringer of Law"). Indeed Themis' six children, the spring-time Horai and death-bringing Moirai, reflect the dual-functions of Demeter's own daughter Persephone. Themis was also identified with Gaia (Earth) especially in the role of the oracular voice of earth.

So which Greek God or Goddess would you be??? What do you think? Good choice? Oh and for the record, I was very tempted by Persephone....LOL. Tell me in the comments or let me know if you post!


8 Left me pearls of wisdom:
What Goddess would I be? I had to think of this one and came up with three, maybe I am a combination of all three at soem point in my life? EUTERPE : means delight and "giver of pleasure", SAULE / AMATERASU : sun goddess , Amaterasu rules the heavens, and lastly CEIBHFHIONN : water goddess of inspiration, intelligence, knowledge and creativity. Actually I think there is a little of all the goddess' in us at some place and time...
Sunshine: you are already a goddess! heheheh the goddess of sun!
Hmmm .... I can't really play, because I'm not a female, right?
If I were a god, I think I'd be Mars, just because I love the name.
Los: FYI that is a Roman god...LOL but of course you can play!
Where have you been? okay maybe I have missed a could of days but I miss you girrrllly. Oh and I want to be that goddess...whats her name and all that she represents...I might not get it but I did ride on the short yellow bus..;)
Just: I would pick Aphrodite...goddess of Wisdom...
and Love...
If I could be a Greek God, I'd be Dionysus - God of wine, parties/festivals, madness and merriment.
OOPPPPSSSS~!!! Just: Aphrodite is Love and Athena was wisdom....
~Shakes head~
I need some sleep!
