The Gods, Goddess's, and other factual nonsense..

Dionysus is the god of wine, partying, etc. He's a pretty chill dude and he's also one of the 12 gods of Mt. Olympus. 
Artemis is the goddess of hunting, wilderness, and fertility, and a sign of chastity and life cycles,also protector of many animals, young girls, and women
Loki is a trickster and has a daughter that rules the underworld and like 4 other kids but they all have something weird.
Coyote had a son but since he forbid to grant everything with immortal life his son eventually died and he wanted to change it because he regretted it and was angered his son had died.
Osiris is god of the underworld. He had some serious problems in his life and died twice and lived twice. 
Apollo is The twin brother of Artemis. He flies around with his bow and horse carrying the sun.
Raven is a trickster. He became some weird thing in water so that he could be born into the kings family and get light for all the people to have.
Hermes turned the hooves of the cows backwards and he had to give the cows back.
Odin is the guardian of Asgard
Freya is a Norse goddess
Thor is some strong guy with this really cool hammer that like no mortal can hold because it has so much power you'd have to be extremely strong to even pick it up.
Jade Emperor Mr. Heaven achieved his high status through kindness and meditation, healing others and himself.
Monkey is like the most wisest person ever. He can morph into other things and like use some x-ray vision type of stuff to reveal the true form of something. And like most people, you can't get anything past him.
Horus is the son of Osiris and Isis. He married his mom after his dad died for the second and last time. That's really weird in my opinion.
Ra sent Hathor to punish everyone because they were disrespecting him
Set is the brother of Osiris. He drowned Osiris then chopped him up in 14 pieces and scattered him all over Egypt because he was jealous of the power his brother had.
Balder is the god of innocence, purity, beauty, light, joy, and reconciliation
Isis is Osiris's wife...well used to be and the mom/wife of Horus. She had to find all the pieces of Osiris to even conceive Horus but didn't have that "special" item so she made one out of gold.

I'm Demeter, the goddess of grains and harvest. My parents are Cronus and Rhea. Hades is my son in law i guess in some weird way. Like he is married to my daughter so it counts?. Anyway, Persephone disappeared one day and i was freaking out because you know my daughter was gone and i looked everywhere and couldn't find her. Eventually I figured out Hades had kidnapped her and taken her to the underworld to be his wife. He wouldn't give her back and fed her a pomegranate seed of the underworld. I was really mad at first before i found out he had her and i thought she was dead so i was like, if shes dead or without food then everyone can feel her pain. So yes i decided to create a world wide famine and let everyone starve because without my daughter she could have been going through the same thing. And i had a pretty opulent space to work with. That may or may not have made the almighty Zeus mad. Who cares he made Hades return Persephone to earth as long as she returned to the underworld during the winter months. I wasn't all for the idea but i had no choice. So since i got her back and she was safe i stopped the famine and started to let all the harvest grow again.

Climax

The climax of the myth could vary depending on which myth. Its where Demeter gets so mad because she cant find her daughter and she just kind of decides well he if i cant have something so important and valuable to me then no one else should. so since she's the goddess of grains and harvest she creates a world wide famine and basically leaves everyone for dead.
