The thing about gods is they move in mysterious ways, can be in everywhere at the same time and can disguise themselves, so you can fit vast numbers of them into the TV Universe or onto pinheads.

I think a great big BSG-esque "So say we all" is called for here.

Besides, I'm already spaz-ing in pedantry. "Hey, let's do a show about Greek love gods. How's Aphrodite and co? No one knows who 'Dite is? Eros and co? No? Okay, let's do Roman? Venus Inc? Sounds too astronomical? Cupid? Someone else has done that? Okay, let's go with Valentine, after a probably fictional Roman Catholic saint then. And let's have Heracles, too. No one knows him either? Let's go with Hercules then…"

Bah, Robert Graves will be rolling in his.
