Misty Mountains (queue Ed Sheeran singing somewhere in the background...)

Be Zeus or Hades?

Hades. If Erebus suddenly has a large population of dwarves, you'll know what happened.


Bears or Tigers?

I mean, Hades is hardly perfect either... it's easy with Greek myth to do the "oh but this guy's OK, he only committed a small fraction of the number of rapes and arbitrary murders that Zeus did!"

Olympus. The place needs someone with slightly more morality and decency than the current occupants, and whilst I don't think I'm the best person for that job, better me than nobody!

Towels or Bowels?

Well, depending on honuch agency you let Persephone have, he didn't commit any rapes, was never unfaithful to his wife and the really sadistic Tartarus stuff is all on Zeus, Hades just supervises... His punishments are stuff like glueing someone to a chair with snakes, and that guy really deserved it...

Towels, so I can wipe up the guy I disem-boweled... (laughs about own joke)

Plans or dreams?

There are a lot of variants of the Persephone story in which it's pretty clearly rape. You can pick the ones or rewrites where it isn't, but if you're going to do that then why not do it for any other God? Secondly, "I was just supervising" is not an excuse for torture (again, you can justify it in myths with "but it's OK, they're gods/the moral code is different", but then again you could do that for all the deities).

Dreams. Always. :)

Darkness, because Light cannot exist without darkness, and without the night we would never see the stars... :)
