Discussion about Greek mythology

I am writing book about Greek mythology and i am about to write a battle scene. I wanted your opinion on some good gods and goddess to include. We will discuss powers, appearances, etc... and i'm looking for those other than popular ones. I want some uniqueness.

Well i incorporated many of my main female characters into my story. Like Nemesis for revenge. Venus & Aphrodite for love, both from greek and roman mythology. If you want unique ones you could google it. I know this site with a HUGE list for greek goddesses. @BonnieSara

Aphrodite is the mother to my heroine, and i incorporated Hephaestus is it as well. Yeah i would totally love that!!!! i have a lot of male ideas for warriors, but it would be great to find some female ones

If you want the out of the box ones that aren't really spoken of alot there is:

NIke: Goesses of victory

Iris: Godess of the Mist and Rainbow

Cratos:God of strength and power

Hestia: Godess of the Hearth*

4 Winds Boreas: North Wind

Eurus: East Wind

Notus: South Wind

Zephyrus: West Wind*

* Here alot about them but not as popular as the main 12

In my opinion, it's fun to use main Gods because it's a lot easier and fun, but it's super badass when people use the not-so-important Gods, in their stories. The not-so-important Gods/Godess's usually have cooler mini versions of powers, and they're just a lot more fun to read about.

Hecate - (a.k.a. Hekat, Hekate, Trivia) Goddess of magic, witchcraft, ghosts, and the undead. Nemesis - (a.k.a. Rhamnousia, Invidia) Goddess of retribution (vengeance). Thanatos - (a.k.a. Mors) God of death.

For greek mythology you have so much scope, you can use the gods both minor and 12 olympians Titans, Naiad's (nature spirits)

@BonnieSara I love greek mythology but i have to say that I do like one of the half-popular Goddesses Artemis, I always think she is worth mentioning :)

@BonnieSara I like Morpheus - God of dreams - able to take human form & appear in dreams. (Might be interesting if a character had a nightmare or something or put some people in the battle to sleep). Hope I helped. :)

I'm writing an adaptation of the Greek myth of Perseus and Andromeda (an Ethiopian princess). When I finish I will upload the whole thing here on Wattpad.
