----------------------------------------
You scored 40% Hades
Hades was the god of the dead, ruler of the underworld and brother of the gods Zeus and Poseidon. He was also known as the lord of riches, because the underworld was filled with crops and precious metals. Men who are ruled by Hades may be rather grim, but they are not evil. That said, they are often unforgiving, unpitying and rather hard-hearted. If your man is like Hades, don't be surprised if he is not satisfied with his lot in life, as Hades was displeased when he became ruler of the underworld while his brothers controlled the sky and the sea. Typically antisocial, Hades men are more comfortable at home alone. They are familiar with dark emotions and do not shy away from them. And while Hades men are not especially sympathetic, they can help others learn from bad experiences. Hades men can bring enlightenment and renewal to your life. Watch out, though, because they are often the trigger of loss and suffering.
You scored 20% Dionysus
Dionysus was the god of wine (and cheer) and vegetation, and a son of Zeus. Men who are ruled by Dionysus have a mysterious quality that often draws the attention -- and sometimes the worship -- of women. They are imaginative, intuitive and inspirational. Dionysus men are good and gentle to those who respect and pay attention to them, but to those who wrong them, they are dangerous foes. They can bring madness, violence, wildness and terror. Dating a Dionysus man can feel blissful and comfortable (they have feminine qualities), and don't be surprised if any former inhibitions you once had suddenly disappear. Be careful, though: Falling for such a man usually means falling hard, which can make the breakup (if there is one) much more painful. Dionysus men have a way of making women feel more feminine, and often more emotional, too. They bring a sense of freedom that can feel liberating, yet also scary. For those who can handle this newfound flexibility and freedom, a relationship with a Dionysus man can be life changing in the most positive way; for those who cannot handle this sudden departure from a routine, ordered existence, such a relationship can be disturbing, even destructive.
You scored 20% Hephaestus
Hephaestus was the god of fire and metalwork, and was much admired for his armor. Because he was born of Hera only, Zeus, Hera's husband, did not like him and expelled him from Mount Olympus. Eventually, he returned and Zeus apologized and gave him Aphrodite as a wife. Unlike other gods, who were all depicted as strong and attractive, Hephaestus was born lame, ugly and awkward. Men who have Hephaestus qualities are extraordinarily creative, interested in the arts and dedicated to their work; their talents are their strong suit. They are not comfortable when it comes to love and seem lost in the world of intimacy, yet they like children.
You scored 10% Poseidon
Poseidon is god of the sea, the brother of Zeus and Hades, and second only to Zeus in power amongst the gods. He was married to Amphitrite, but he was not a faithful husband. His numerous love affairs led to the birth of children known for their wildness and cruelty. Widely worshiped by seamen, Poseidon also created the first horse. His weapon was a trident, which he used to shake and shatter whatever he pleased. While Poseidon men can inspire positive change in your life, their adventurous nature sometimes gets the better of them, leading them to encourage risky behavior. Poseidon men may also be quarrelsome; they have a reputation for having difficult personalities.
You scored 10% Hermes
Hermes is the messenger of the gods and the son of Zeus. He has winged sandals and a winged hat and carries a herald's staff, or magic wand, which he uses to put men to sleep and awaken them. He leads the souls of the dead to the underworld and is believed to possess magic powers over sleep and dreams. Hermes is responsible for making treaties, promoting commerce and guiding travelers. Hermes' character has both positive and negative qualities. Men who embody Hermes' qualities are friendly and can bring great gain -- often unexpected -- to people. However, they can also be crafty and deceiving, and may have reputations as tricksters. Hermes men are not especially heroic or dignified, but they are clever and witty. Hermes men are full of energy and spontaneity, and delight in spurring friends out of their routine. If you are with a Hermes man, no doubt he enjoys discussing his dreams and goals and encourages you to value your own. Hermes men are constantly trying to move forward and transform -- themselves and those close to them.
You scored 0% Ares
Ares was the son of Zeus and Hera and was disliked by both of his parents. As the god of war, he was considered murderous yet also a coward. He rejoiced in battle, yet he bellowed with pain and ran away when wounded. Not surprisingly, Ares men thrive on conflict. As lovers, they may pick fights, display jealousy and act impulsively. Ares men are competitive, adventurous and live life to the fullest. Men who embody Ares qualities have a passionate for instinct for life - and love! Their unlimited energy can be used positively or negatively. While their mindless aggression can get them into criminal trouble, their assertiveness, courage and quest for achievement can lead to revolutionary advances in business, sports and elsewhere.
You scored 0% Apollo
Apollo is the god of prophecy, light and truth, and the son of Zeus. He was a gifted musician, master archer and an accomplished athlete. Apollo's responsibilities included protecting young men (his twin sister, the goddess Artemis, protected young women), promoting agriculture and breeding of cattle, and teaching humans the art of healing and medicine. Apollo men may have a youthful quality, which can spell trouble. In early legends, Apollo was known as a stern, even cruel, god -- full of pride, dangerously competitive, with a quick temper. After being punished by Zeus for his bad behavior, however, he changed. Thus, Apollo men are capable of growth. As mature adults, they are characterized as self-aware, balanced, rational and eager to live a harmonious, honest life (evolved Apollo men never lie). They are noble, reasonable and -- usually -- quite handsome. They go for neat, well-kept women who fit into their ordered lives. Falling in love scares Apollo men because it can be so chaotic and unexplainable. Yet they do seek love and are displeased when their love is not returned. If you ever break up with an Apollo man, watch out - their revenge can be harsh. In love, they insist on controlling the relationship, and can also be detached and dispassionate.
You scored 0% Zeus
Zeus is the god of the sky and ruler of the Olympian gods. He was considered the protector and ruler both of the Olympian family and of the human race. Zeus's weapon was the thunderbolt, which he threw at those that displeased him. According to legend, Zeus has two very different aspects of his personality. He was believed to be the god of justice and mercy and protector of the weak. Yet he was also known as a lecherous, philandering husband (he was married to his sister, the goddess Hera) who unsuccessfully tried to keep his love affairs a secret from his irate wife. He was also known to punish liars and breakers of oaths. Men who embody Zeus's qualities like to be in control of their work and personal lives. Zeus men are born politicians. They are intellectual and surround themselves with people who admire and respect them. While they are capable of passion (Zeus men are great lovers) and even romance (heck, they'll do just about anything to get a girl!), they're not skilled at forming long-lasting, monogamous bonds. In fact, in relationships, Zeus men are often aloof and incapable of experiencing the inner growth that comes from being in committed, long-term relationships.
