  1. Aqua from Konosuba:

Despite being a literal goddess, she's stupid, arrogant, selfish, dumb, and stupid - almost always causing more problems for her party than she solves. She also puts the world she is responsible for in danger by losing track of the powerful cheat items that she gave to people she reincarnated into said world.

  1. Mega-mega from I've Been Killing Slimes For 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level:

Mega-mega is a goddess responsible for resurrecting people into other worlds. She has a fondness for young women and is demoted from her position as a goddess once it's found out that she has been reincarnating everyone as an immortal beautiful young woman.

  1. Panty & Stocking from Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt:

Panty & Stocking are a pair of angels who were banished from heaven due to their respective lust and gluttony. On Earth, it is their role to destroy ghosts in order to earn their way back into heaven. They do this but they also make absolutely no effort to stop the behaviours that got them kicked out of heaven in the first place.

All conflicts in Greek mythology can be traced in some way back to the gods being horny and/or vindictive pricks.

Hey! Hades was mostly chill!

He only abducted like... one person! That makes him a paragon among the Greek Gods!

(Also I do enjoy the modern retellings where they were in love and the whole "abduction" was a ploy to get the other gods to approve of their relationship)

TBF to Hades, he asked the father, he said yes and he went to grab the maid and was a good husband. Which is horrifying by every metric but back then they didnt intend it as such even if it absolutly is.

Also the father is Zeus because the universe would end if it wasnt Zeus fault.

Yeah, by our standards it's bad, but by Greek is was quite normal

Demeter was wrong by their values to be upset about it
