Who I’d Like to Meet: Ran, the Norse goddess who shipwrecked sailors and drowned them in her net. We Greek gods don’t mix with the Norse very often, but Ran sounds like my kind of woman!

Aoelus, king of the winds. (He’s full of hot air, but I like him) Aphrodite – Now there’s a woman! And she was born from the sea. What else could you want? Delphin, the god of dolphins. He’s playful, friendly, and he helped me win my wife Amphitrite, but that’s a long story.
