Annie, Dan, Evan, and I were talking about how the Greek gods were immortal celebrities, so naturally we made a list of equivalent modern celebrities. I like to think that they make sense if you think about them long enough.

Zeus - Either Denzel Washington or George Clooney (Denzel is maybe too much of a family man)

Hera - Meryl Streep (intersection of Julie and Julia and The Devil Wears Prada)

Poseidon - Kayne West (full of himself)

Hades - Christopher Walken (big creep)

Demeter - Sheryl Crow (basically she is tan and had that one video where she was sitting in the sun)

Hestia - Kathy Bates

Aphrodite - J-Lo (curvaceous!)

Apollo - Brad Pitt (so blond)

Ares - Mel Gibson (angers easily)

Artemis - Teagan and Sara (Annie and I were thinking that Freja Beha Erichsen might also have worked, so perhaps we were just thinking of lesbians. Anyway, Freja is probably too skinny to lead a hunt for too long.)

Athena - Tina Fey

Hephaestus - Nicolas Cage (kind of deformed [we could have also said Mickey Rourke!])

Hermes - Justin Timberlake (seems like he would enjoy a prank)
