Wow, is that pic forreal?! :eek: Awesome!

[Comte Arnau]

I'd definitely commend the protection of all Portugal to Neptune. It just looks like it fits. :)

[Osprey]

Iam not a Southerner, but still
I vote for Apollo/Athena pair
:)

Wow, is that pic forreal?! :eek: Awesome!

Yes the picture is real. It's just a wave from a certain angle, but it's real. It was taken in the biggest storm that hit the Azores in the 20th century. The photographer was just taking pictures of the huge waves that were forming and got lucky.

The picture is known as "Neptuno da Horta" (Horta is a town in Faial island)

[Virtuous]

Since Malta is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, I choose Poseidon.

[askra]

Living a life of pleasures like Dionysus/Bacchus shouldn't be bad, so he is my favourite Olympian deity.

[Legion]

Not a southerner, but I have to choose Demeter since I'm named after her :D

[MinervaItalica]

Minerva top favourite.

[Wanderer]

I chose Mercury.
