Not in (don't use Steam) but thanks anyway.
As for "real" gods, some of the Norse patheon are pretty awesome. I especially like about them that (except for Baldr) they're all a little shady and have some skeletons in their closet.
My favorite from those would be Freyja (from the Vanir, but living in Asgard). Goddess of love, sex, beauty, fertility, riches, seidh (shamanic sorcery), war, and death. All you coud ever need. Also she has a carriage pulled by two cats and can turn into a falcon.
From the Greek patheon it's hard to choose - I like ecstatic gods like Pan or Dionysos but there are numerous others that are awesome too. But if I had to pick one, I'd choose Persephone, goddess of the underworld and vegetation. Why? Because many years ago I stood in front of a statue of her in Berlin. This impressed me deeply - a masterpiece. In front of this, I really had the impression of a goddess looking at me - attentive, well-meaning but also strict and no one to mess with. The statue used to be in the Pergamon museum but some year ago they put her somewhere else. None of the pictures found by googling do the experience justice, but here's one.
