131791
Hades is the lord of the dead and ruler of the nether world, which is referred to as the domain of Hades or, by transference, as Hades alone. He is the son of Cronus and Rhea. When the three sons of Cronus divided the world among each other, Hades was given the underworld, while his brothers Zeus and Poseidon took the upperworld and the sea respectively. For a while Hades ruled the underworld together with Persephone, whom he had abducted from the upperworld, but Zeus ordered him to release Persephone back into the care of her mother Demeter. However, before she left he gave her a pomegranate and when she ate of it, it bound her to the underworld forever. \n\nmore info here: http://www.pantheon.org/articles/h/hades.html

Satan the Devil\nDefinition:  The spirit creature who is the chief adversary of God and of all who worship the true God.  The name Satan was given to him because of his becoming a resister of Jehovah (God's name) or Yahweh/YHWH as the ancient Israelites called him).  Satan is also known as the Devil, because he is the foremost slanderer of God.  Satan is described as the original serpent, evidently because of his using a serpent in Eden to deceiver Eve, and for this reason "serpent" came to signify "deceiver."  In the book of Revelation, the symbolism of a devouring dragon is also applied to Satan.\nIf I am correct in assuming, I believe his angelic name was Lucifer.\nHow can we know whether such a spirit person really exists?\nThe Bible is the chief source of evidence.  There he is repeatedly refered to by name (Satan 52 times, Devil 33 times).  Eyewitness testimony as to Satan's existence is recorded there.  Who was the eyewitness?  Jesus Christ, who lived in heaven before coming to earth, repeatedly spoke of that one by name. (Luke 22: 31, 10:18; Matt. 25: 41)\nWhat the Bible says about Satan the Devil makes sense.  The evil that mankind experiences is far out of proportion to the malice of the humans involved.  The Bible's explanation of Satan's origin and his activities makes clear why, despite the desire of the majority to live in peace, mankind has been plagued with hatred, violence, and war for thousands of years and why this has reached such a level that it now threatens to destroy all mankind.\nIf there really were no Devil, accepting what the Bible says about him would not bring lasting benefits to a person.  In many instances, however, persons who formerly dabbled in the occult or who belonged to groups practicing spiritism report that they were what that time greatly distressed because of hearing "voices" from unseen sources, being "possessed" by super human beings, etc.  Genuine relief was gained when they learned what the Bible says about Satan and his demons, applied the Bible's counsel to shun spiritualistic practices, and sought Jehovah's help in prayer.\nBelieving that Satan exists does not mean accepting tha idea that he has horns, a pointed tail, and a pitchfork and that he roasts people in a fiery hell.  The Bible gives no such description of Satan.  That is the product of the minds of medieval artists who were influenced by representations of the mythological Greek god Pan and by the "Inferno" written the the Italian poet Dante Alighieri.  Instead of teaching a fiery hell, the Bible clearly says that "the dead....are conscious of nothing at all." - Eccl. 9:5\nFrom where did Satan come?\nAll of God's works are perfect; he is not the author of unrighteeiousness; so he did not create anyone wicked. (Deut. 32:4; Psalms 5:4)  The one who became Satan was originally a perfect spirit son of God.  When saying that the Devil "did not stand fast in the truth, " Jesus indicated that at one time that one was "in the truth." (John8:44)  But, as is true of all God's intelligent creatures, this spirit son was endowed with free will.  He abused his freedom of choice, allowed feelings of self-importance to develop in his heart, began to crave worship that belonged only to God and so enticed Adam and Eve to listen to him rather than obey God.  Thus by his course of action he made himself Satan, which means "adversary".  - James: 1:14, 15

Clotho\n\nClotho, a goddess from Greek mythology, is the youngest of the three Fates, but one of the oldest goddesses in Greek mythology. She is a daughter of Zeus and Themis. Each fate has a certain job, whether it be measuring thread, spinning it on a spindle, or cutting the thread at the right length. Clotho is the spinner, and she spins the thread of human life with her distaff. The length of the string will determine how long a certain person's life will be. She is also known to be the daughter of Night, to indicate the darkness and obscurity of human destiny. No one knows for sure how much power Clotho and her sisters have, however; they often disobey the ruler, Zeus, and other gods. For some reason, the gods seem to obey them, whether because the fates do possess greater power, or as some sources suggest, their existence is part of the order of the Universe, and this the gods cannot disturb.

Many ancient Egyptian names contained the name of a god. At times, the god may be assumed, so we have names that contain the phrase "god is gracious", or "whom god loves", but here the term god undoubtedly refers not to an abstract deity but rather to a specific, assumed deity which might be a local god, or the god to whom the parents prayed. Much of the time, the god was named.\n\nCommon words or phrases were often used in names. These included ankh (life), mery (beloved), hotep (peace), nefer (beautiful) and khenemet (one who is joined with) \n\nMany names could be used by both males and females, and in these instances, an identifier, such as a hieroglyphic man or woman, was appended to the name in order to make it masculine or feminine. However, "et" on the end of a name, or sometimes in the middle of it, appears to have been a feminine identifier, and "pa-sheri" (masculine) or "ta-sherit" (feminine) was somewhat similar to the equivalent of "Junior" today. We also find Si, meaning son, or Sit, meaning daughter.

Aker is an earth god who presided over the borders of the underworld.\nAmun is associated with the primordial air.\nKuk is associated with the primordial concept of darkness.\nAtum is the primal creator, associated with the sun.\nBabi is a baboon god.\nNun (also spelt Naunet or Nu) was the deification of the primordial water abyss.\n\nAnat is a war goddess.\nHathor is the personifaction of the Milky Way, often depicted as a cow.\nIsis is most famous for being the wife of Osiris and mother of Horus.\nNeith is a goddess of hunt and war.\nNut is the personification of night.\nAnd Ptah isn't a goddess at all, but the first god.\n\nSo the answer to 1 is Nun and the answer to 2 is either Anat or Neith.  But I would have to lean more towards Anat, as Neith is also considered a goddess of weaving.\nHope this answers your question!

The key to this question is "the Chief Ruler of the Gods..."  YOu may know that Poseidon punished Odyssues, but you don't know for a fact that Zeus DIDN'T.  On the other hand, you DO know for a fact that Zeus was the chief ruler.  Therefore your answer is Zeus.

Lucifer (light bringer) is almost a direct ripoff of the Titan Prometheus from Greco-Roman mythology. Prometheus created humans in an idle moment, and really pissed off the gods by giving them fire (knowledge) and got "cast down" (chained to a rock with an eagle nibbling his liver) for his naughtiness. Only major difference is they removed the creation myth tie in.\n\nRemind you of any stories involving a garden and an apple?\n\nWake up folks, even their book states that knowledge is the worst enemy christans ever had. Right in the beginning no less...
