From the main 12 Olympians the goddesses are:

Hera: Women, Marriage, and Fertility

Demeter: Nature

Hestia: Home and Hearth

Aphrodite: Love, Beauty and Sex

Athena: War and Wisdom

Artemis: Goddess of the Hunt

Persephone: Queen of the Underworld and Duaghter of Demeter so she has nature powers too.



There are also the minor goddesses which I dont know all the names of.

pagan gods/goddesses are demons.

all demons are male though.

so, it's a joke to call a male by a female name.
