(i hope not be like the crap at 3rd edition - i would prefer something more close to 2nd editions legends & lore) It would be interesting to see organizations like the one we see for the devil/abyssal lords...

We have now Grazzt with his aspect, chosen, favorite monster, acolytes etc etc... i would love to see something similar for Ares, Zeus, Set etc etc...

Just a little bit of a joke, is all ;) But if that's more what you're looking for, then you may just want to check out the older stuff and try your best to covert it. At this point, it doesn't seem like WotC is going to do much toward converting real pantheons (what, with all the other stuff that's slated to come out it wouldn't be around until at least late 2010), so homebrew is the way to go. Thankfully, you could probably get a fair amount of the work done by simply reflavoring the MM. Maybe describe Orcs as being grunt footsoldiers to Ares, describing them as having ram-like qualities and maybe even substituting one of their racial powers with a Minotaur power. Edit: Also! Maybe check out some of the information in Scion to see if you can work around what's in there!

It basically has information on the Greek, Norse, Japanese, Egyptian, Aztec, and Voodoo Pantheons. Or at least, small fraction of them. It's an interesting game. There's also Demigod and God which is like Scion Part II and Part III
