New CAS Challenge! The Gods & Goddesses Challenge
Hi there! So I've never done this before, but after a suggestion made by a follower, I decided I'd give it a shot and see if anyone would be interested in trying it out? So I've always been interested in Greek Mythology and Greek Gods and Goddesses and recently I attempted to make my version of Persephone.

On this photo, someone commented and suggested I turn it into a CAS Challenge. With each day being a new God/Goddess. You can create Modern Day Gods or make them Historically accurate. It is entirely up to you! So here is the CAS Challenge! Please feel free to take part and share your results in this thread. I'd absolutely love to see what you all come up with. I've included a little backstory for those who don't know Greek Mythology all that well.
Day 1. Persephone
Persephone is a true nature child, being the daughter of the goddess of the harvest. Her mother is also affectionately known as Mother Nature. Persephone is a living example of youth, beauty, and life, and draws the attention of the king of the dead, Hades.
Day 2. Hades
Hades is best known as the ruler of the underworld. It became his dominion after he and his brothers drew lots for their share of the universe.
Day 3. Zeus
Zeus was the first of the Gods and a very imposing figure. Often referred to as the “Father of Gods and men”, he is a sky god who controls lightning (often using it as a weapon) and thunder. Zeus is king of Mount Olympus, the home of Greek gods, where he rules the world and imposes his will onto gods and mortals alike.
Day 4. Hera
Hera is the Queen of the Gods and is the wife and sister of Zeus in the Olympian pantheon. She is known for being the Goddess of Marriage & Birth. Despite being the Goddess of Marriage, she was known to be jealous and vengeful towards the many lovers and offspring of her husband Zeus.
Day 5. Poseidon
Poseidon was god of the sea, earthquakes, storms, and horses and is considered one of the most bad-tempered, moody and greedy Olympian gods. He was known to be vengeful when insulted.
Day 6. Athena
Athena, also referred to as Athene, is a very important goddess of many things. She is goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, strategic warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill. But most importantly, she is the Goddess of War. She is known most specifically for her strategic skill in warfare and is often portrayed as companion of heroes and is the patron goddess of heroic endeavour.
Day 7. Aphrodite
Aphrodite is the Goddess of Love and Beauty and according to Hesiod’s theogony, she was born from the foam in the waters of Paphos, on the island of Cyprus. Many gods believed that her beauty was such that their rivalry over her would spark a war of the gods.
Day 8. Ares
Ares is the god of war, one of the Twelve Olympian Gods and the son of Zeus and Hera. In literature Ares represents the violent and physical untamed aspect of war, which is in contrast to Athena who represents military strategy and generalship as the goddess of intelligence.
