So, given that in LoO you essentially play demi-gods, the equivalent of those somewhat lesser-known Greek deities like Phobetor, Pasithea, Iris, Hebe, Zelus, etc., I thought it might be interesting for people to brainstorm suitable names and divine-focuses for potential LoO PCs.

What would your greek god's name be, and what less-impressive-than-zeus thing would be his or her area of specialty?

Um... you do realize that there's already a Greek Goddess Nike, and that in fact she's in the Lords of Olympus book, right?
