…a God or Goddess from the Greek / Roman mythology, who would you be?
Apollo
gray-eyed Athena or Diana…
Hermes
You get to fly around and tell people to do stuff.
Dionysus.
About 10 years ago I saw that play by Someoneides. (In which a city’s women go to the woods to worship him, causing the king the overreact. So Dionysus… does malicious things to him.) As a result, I can’t go past this crazy fellow.
What the hell…! Zeus.
Might as well be king! Think of all the fun he had chasing nymphs etc.

The Unmoved Mover.
Hades. Plenty of peace and quiet and lots of interesting dead mortals to talk to.
Ooh! 
I wish I’d picked that!
I think Zeus is a deeply unhappy god (judging by Homer).
Calliope
Well, for that reason I would like to be a Satyr or Pan. they had had more fun. Even Dionyssos would be a good choice. Drinking wine and chasing young maids, and excellent combination! 
To say nothing of Lucian’s portrayal of Him.
Best title translation for a Lucianic dialog: Zeus Rants.
I was gonna say Dioysus, but that was taken. So, instead, Radamanthos or Psychopompos (alright, so that’s also Hermes), becuase they have really cool names.
Discordia (Eris)
No one has chosen Hera, I wonder why?

Zeus did, and look what trouble she gave him. No wonder he put it about a bit!

Dyonisos is taken.
Zeus was nervous preparing for the case he would tread the course of his father and grandfather. He had to make as many use of his ‘flute’ as possible.
Cronos and Ouranos became ‘Unix’ by thier sons, respectively.
As the image of a demiourgos, Hephaistos is most likely to be my choice, but he got lame and his wife cheated on him.
Hades is taken.
Poseidaon is always disturbed.
Athena is cool, but is female. :sigh:
Muses are most fluent in Greek verses, but they are female, too. :sigh: :sigh:
Then I’d rather choose Morpheus, master of all dreams and imaginations.
Terpsichore, Muse of Dance. I enjoy dancing more than singing, and I get to do a bunch of running around like crazy without anything thinking that I was crazy (unlike mortal me, sigh).
EDIT : A few months ago I saw a short play written and produced by my peers about the Greek gods. It was deliberately inaccurate on some things, but hilarious as hell/Hades. Athena was Daddy’s Little Girl, Posiedon was the only one who kept control of himself, Apollo was a dumbass, Hermes was running around gathering the gods, Hades got into a fit and demanded that one of his brothers go to the underworld in his place for a change, Dionysus was drunk (and had the best lines), and Ares was a braggart accompanied by bimbos, and Zeus was trying to hold this whole mess together. Some of the more memorable lines (in no paticular order) -
Athena : Daddy, let me crush the Romans.
*
Posiedon : I’m sorry I’m late, dear brother, but there was this problem with an oil cartel and Odysseus was talking some shit, so I dealt with him
*
Apollo : I’ll get my new story for you soon.
Posiedon : I’ll pass on it.
Apollo : You don’t think you’ll like it.
Posiedon : I said nothing of the kind.
Apollo : But you meant it. But that’s okay, because all the smart people here will love my story. And you will be in Stupidville, playing with your stupid animals, and … be stupid! Because you are. Stupid I mean. Did you hear, I called you stu-
Posiedon : Yes, yes, I heard you.
Athena : I don’t like Apollo, daddy. He creeps me out.
Dionysus : Hey, you know what Zeus, I’m tired of this shit from you. What happened to the old Zeus who turned into swans and picked up chicks. You’re not cool like you used to be, man.
Hades : You [Zeus] get to be king of the Gods, you [Posiedon] get the seas, and dum-dum here [Apollo] gets to be worshipped. How did such and idiot become our god of intelligence? And what do I get? The dead.
Zeus : I’m sorry, this whole situiation was just an assumption of mine.
Dionysus : Don’t assume. Assumptions make and ass out of you, and you, and you-
Apollo : And me.
Dionysus : What the hell are you talking about? Did I say you could talk to me? No!
[Hermes had knocked Hades unconcious]
Dionysus : What’s the matter with him [Hades]?
Zeus : He’s not feeling too well.
Dionysus : [To Hades] Here, have some wine [drenches Hades].
I’d be Pan and wait in ambush for unsuspecting Marathon runners approaching what I understand long-distance runners call the “Wall”.
