Quite often he acts carefree and a bit self-absorbed, but has a strong reputation among his fellow gods. Ganesha constantly calls out his name to announce his arrival or to just say his name in general, so that others will rejoice.

Although he can be a bit light-hearted at times, Ganesha can take a more serious approach to protect his Familia and innocent lives. He is the leader of one of the largest Familias in Orario, which gives him considerable influence. Not many gods are willing to cross him, but Ganesha's peaceful personality makes him a friend to all.

11 Apollo

A lustful deity

Apollo is the makeshift father to the members of his Familia. While his outward exterior is kind and gentle, he is actually quite perverted and pig-headed. He displays compulsive personality traits when something or, more likely, someone catches his interest, resulting in backhanded tactics to get what he wants.

Despite his faults, Apollo is still a God and leader of one of the most prominent Familias in Orario. Apollo doesn't have much power, but he can be a dangerous foe if crossed. He is often praised for his intellect and tactical prowess, matched only by his arrogance.

Unfortunately for Ishtar, she was defeated by Freya and Bell was freed. But Ishtar's Familia was made up of mighty warriors, some of the strongest in Orario, and their loyalty to Ishtar illuminated her own strength.

DanMachi Arrow of Orion

Mythology

Greek

Artemis was a strict and devoted leader who cared for her Familia more than most gods. Unfortunately, Artemis was discouraged by love and forbade her Familia members to engage in romance.

The God of Smithing

Despite her role as a mere blacksmith in DanMachi, Hephaestus has played a significant role in driving the story forward. From forging the famous Hestia Blade to even lending his children to Hestia's familia, Hephaestus has stayed by Bell and Hestia's side until the end.
