I’m awarding 10 Super Special Points for whoever can figure out what prompted today’s title.
1. The Greek goddess of Victory
2. This lucky Roman goddess was much more popular than when she was in Greece and named Tyche.
3. Ragnarok can’t come soon enough for this Norse god, who currently spends his time being restrained by his son’s intestines while his wife does her best to keep venom from dripping on his face.
4. An African god known for being a trickster, he also had some serious cred, creating the sun and the moon.
5. This goddess started that whole Trojan War mess by tossing the Golden Apple at a bunch of vain beyotches and then kicking back to watch the fun.
QOD: After Greece conquered Egypt, Ptolemy decided to create a god they could all enjoy. So he tossed Zeus and Osiris in a salad shooter, sprinkled in a little Pluto, and came up with this guy. Serve and enjoy!
Bonus: 5 Points for each of the three Fates that you can name.

OK, mythology is one of my strong suits, so let's see what we get here.
1. Nike
2. Fortuna
3. Loki
4. nope (shows my Euro-centric bias, I guess)
5. Eris - who was the goddess of strife and discord
QoD - Serapis (worked a heck of a lot better than Antiochus Epiphanes' idea in Judea)
5 point bonus - Klotho (spins the web of life), Lakhesis (determines its length), Atropos (cuts the thread)
No idea about the reason for the theme, unless it's that it's David Thompson's birthday and you revere him as a basketball god.

5. This goddess started that whole Trojan War mess by tossing the Golden Apple at a bunch of vain beyotches and then kicking back to watch the fun. - I remember that it was the goddess of Discord, and I always mixed the names up of her and cupid, but her name was Eres

A LIFE OF BEING PAST THE DUE DATE, WAITING FOR THE BABY TO COME
HAVING TO WATCH THE GIANTS PLAY LIKE THEY DID LAST NIGHT FOR ALL OF ETERNITY
SPENDING ETERNITY IN BEST BUY THE WEEKEND OF BLACK FRIDAY, WHEN THE ONLY REASON YOU'RE THERE IS BECAUSE SOMETHING BROKE AND YOU NEED TO REPLACE IT
I THINK "YE GODS" IS IN RESPONSE TO WATCHING YOUR FOOTBALL TEAM, WHO YOU'VE ALREADY HAD PLENTY OF WARNING COULD STINK UP THE JERNT SOMETHING AWFUL, STINKING IT UP EVEN WORSE THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE. LIKE MY GIANTS YESTERDAY.

I just read the QoD. I have no guesses right now. I will come back later when I have time to think about what gods I know the names of and then guess. If that is against the rules, give me a big fat zero. If it's not - I'll be back.

4. Associated with a spider and his name is something like Anasazi. Larry Niven had a book, "Descent of the Ananzi" (or something like that) and when I first saw it I thought it was Descent of Anasazi. Took me a while to realize it wasn't. Ananzi, final guess.

Bit of a guess but I think you are looking for Serapis, who was Ptolemy's deification of Alexander I think.

I am guessing you are looking for the greek names? I always remember Atropos, for which Atropine is named. Can't ever remember the others.

It's easier and more effective to just edit your post with a spoiler instead of posting a separate apology post. Or is that somehow deemed unacceptable in this game?
