Hades, but I was aiming for Hermes. ---

Well, in Greek I’m Hades. > [@](#): > > A misunderstood loner, Hades bears the burden of ruling the land of the dead. No matter; your Hades identification gives you access to people’s secrets and weaknesses which because of your analytical abilities you can quickly use to your own advantage. As the Lord of the Underworld, most everyone and everything is a little afraid of you and you often can use this to get in the first blow in battle. You may also experience the calm that comes from knowing that eventually every mortal is going to end up with you. Bwahahahahahaha! For Norse, I got Odin and Ra for Egyptian. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Derleth \* > \*\*How do I get a non-Greek test result? \*\* I think it’s based on your answers to the first page. To get Egyptian, I picked ancient ruins/beer/steak. For Norse, I picked ski/mead/fish. For Greek, I picked island/wine/olives. I don’t know how the fourth question worked, but I picked “Find your enemy’s weakest point; fake your own.” for all three tries. ---

You’re dead. 😛 Nope, just answering the OP - “Which god are you?” It’s not that I have delusions of grandeur. I just happen to in fact be grand. 😉 ---

I came up firmly in the Egyptian Pantheon. > [@](#): > > Loyal and inventive, Isis is an icon of dogged determination. Able to adapt to constantly changing situations, your Isis abilities hold in good stead as an innovative commander in the stress of battle. In addition, your fierce protectiveness of family and dependents gains you admiration and loyalty from your allies and subjects. Your tendency to give everyone the benefit of the doubt can sometimes blind you to real enemies; keep your eyes open. I’ve been told that this is fairly fitting. ---

Ra. > [@](#): > > Regal without being too remote, sun god Ra has both a reassuring and a terrifying aspect. Identifying with Ra puts you in the upper reaches of command but you also need to use his noblesse oblige (the obligation of the nobility) so that people’s natural awe of your brilliance is tempered with assurance that they can come to you for aid and support in battle or in building their civilization. Don’t let bureaucracy blind you. Odin. > [@](#): > > Majestic and magical, king god Odin has only to appear near a battlefield and the other side freezes in fear. By selecting Odin you have also gained a great intelligence team. Your two crows Hugin (thought) and Munin (memory) bring you the daily news from around the world. You have no compunction about wielding magic and mythic powers to gain your goals. Your wide view can sometimes miss the important details of everyday civilization building or the tactical details of a battle site; remember to look down as well as out. Zeus. > [@](#): > > The kind of charisma that sucks all the oxygen out of a room. When Zeus arrives, everyone knows it. You want him on your side and you definitely don’t want him mad at you. Like Zeus, your powerful presence can either quail people silly or provoke them to challenge you. Your casual use of mythic powers, like the lightning bolt, can be great in battle but can sometimes backfire and hurt those you love. Be careful of jealous partners and listen to the advice of trusted friends. It’s scary how they knew so much about me when they made the test. Even my two magic crows. ---

Zeus/Ra/Odin And I think it’s just the first question that picks the Pantheon. ---

I come up as Ra/Zeus/Odin. Interesting since I’ve never been mistaken for a one-eyed, bird-headed, philanderer in my life. Though I must admit I wouldn’t mind going pimpin’ with Zeus! 🆒 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-god-are-you/148033.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-god-are-you/148033.md?page=3)
