A good choice because he did so much for us - he actually created man out of pieces left over from other of his creations - dog, fox, deer, lion, snake, and dove. To compensate for the mishmash result, he decided he had to educate us.

Sisyphus who was condemned to repeat forever the same meaningless task of pushing a rock up a mountain, only to see it roll down again.
Kind of like, well, Life.

My shortlist would be Zeus, Apollo and Athena.
Zeus - King of the Gods, God of the sky, and apparently upholder of justice and peacemaker too.
Apollo - God of various cool things including light, intellectual inquiry, poetry, music and dance. Also the plague. :)
Athena - Goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill.
I'll go for Zeus. Because being supremely powerful, and able to bring peace and justice instead of violence are qualities that would be great to have. Also hurling thunderbolts, though I think I would rather more restrained about it than Zeus. Maybe I'd only hurl them at inanimate objects. :)

Even though not strictly a god, but a figure with god-like powers is Azrael, the Angel of Death. He was most likely the inspiration for the grim reaper.

He's the only god, known and acknowledged to be created by man, for the purpose of a cruel joke. He is the god of cruelty and, as such, the god of comedy. His purpose is the modern Nietzschean ideal-that one must view life as unconcerned, mocking, and violent; that one must never take things seriously; that one must will something important into existence with one's will.
I want to have his ability to reach out and touch people with a noodly appendage at any time, anywhere, just for the hell of it. Because it would be fun.

Obviously, a Viking god is going to be an unbelievable badass.
He has a hammer that shoots lightning bolts. He rode his wagon across the Earth, thus creating mountains. He has his own comic book, people!

Anubis was the Egyptian god of the dead, and was once considered the most important of the Egyptian deities.
Certainly one of my favorites because of the images in which he is portrayed - he is often seen as a figure of justice as well, weighing souls before they move onto the afterlife.

Still, one that seems to have escaped a lot of the petty in-fighting/incest is Athena. Goddess of wisdom, weaving, disciplined war, and heroic endeavor and patroness of Athens, she didn't have all the weird love triangles/incestuous things that many of the other gods were involved in. The earliest stories have her origins as the parthenogenous daughter of the Titan Metis (wisdom). Later myths have Zeus taking Metis as a consort, and swallowing her so her children wouldn't be greater than he. But Metis was already pregnant with Athena, who burst from his head. This bursting from his head was part of most later versions of her origins.
And, other than once getting chased by a rapist god, most of her stories have her helping heroes in the cause of justice.

More explanation needed...@bunnyphuphu put in the question "Why?". Which means "Why" have you chosen Apolon?
What a coincidence, I think of you as the Mahaloian of Mahaloians.
