While my brother was keeping to himself the computer I decided to read Sam's Edith-Hamilton-Greek-myth book.
THE 12 GREAT OLIMPIANS
Zeus
struck me with your bolt
so that I would have the guts
to face the storms of my life.
Hera
I plead to you,
Oh Hera, goddess of marriage,
that you bestow me a partner
and that our binding would last a lifetime
Poseidon
Poseidon, god of the sea,
I pray to you, with your mighty will,
calm the storm in my heart,
and command the sea to rise me up
in the heavens.
Hades
The Horrible not the Terrible god,
if you'd allow,
give the unjust a chance to be just.
Before taking them.
Athena
Share with me
Your divine prowess
in conceiving fight plans.
Apollo
Sing to me, Apollo.
Show me light.
Heal me by truth.
Kill the Phyton
that strangles my breath.
Artemis
The hunter, show me my wild side.
Bring me closer to nature.
Hunt down the monsters inside me.
If it be time, slay me by your silver arrow.
Aphrodite
Aphrodite with beauty
that is beyond all beauties
in the earth combined,
make me laugh out
all the sorrows that inflict me pain.
Hermes
Hermes! Oh Hermes!
God of Commerce, fly us to success.
With your wings let us travel roads of glory.
Send our plea to the gods in Olympus.
Ares
Ares, god or war.
Order your vultures to scrape off
the decomposing and help the living.
With Eris and Enyo, wage war
to the savages who destroy peace.
Vulcan
Vulcan, build me an armor
that would protect me
from enemy's anger.
So that killing me would be
a mistake he wishes to make.
Vesta
I thank you, o ye Vesta,
for carrying me to the family
I belong to.

I'd go for Apollo, as always. :D
