O/T Divinities and Gods : Tue Mar 10, 2009 8:30 pm  

Stole this off the Bulls borad so apologies to FA for breaching his copyright but i have always loved Greek and Roman history.

So if every Giants player was a Greek or Roman god who would they be?

Naturally they would all see themselves as Priapus ( the god of male virility ) but unless anyone wishes to post corroborative evidence we'll just have to leave that one to our imaginations

I'll start:

Griffin - Atlas. Our strong man.

Mason - Mars, the God of War. Wiped out peacock with one punch

Lolesi - Dionysus, the god of wine, parties and merriment

D Hodgson- Hermes the god of speed

Brett Hodgson - Zeus king of the Gods and our leader

Korkidas - Cyclops strong one eyed creature

Robinson- a nymph a small delicate creature

Brown- eros the god of lust and love ( for some reason some of our female fans fancy him)

Anyone else got any suggestions

Jammer thinks he's Jake the Musc from Once Were Warriors! Sorry for not following the classical comparison.
