They make some nice petty gods. I went a bit more back to basics at one point and created this pantheon years ago, all based on appellations of the Greek/Roman/other gods, with some Discworld and further fantasy influences. It's mostly supposed to be a generic pantheon, but I tried to make the names as obscure as possible. Except Tyche. Because you aren't supposed to talk about her. The Gods of Bithynia Name - Symbol - Area of Influence Kasios the Mighty ('The old lecher') Lightning Bolt sky, thunder, rulership Basíleia the Kindly Diadem women, marriage, family Dawon from the Deep Trident sea, horses Kidaria the Plentiful Grain fertility, agriculture, nature, and the seasons Itonia the Wise Helmet wisdom, handicrafts, defence and strategic warfare Adon/Chthon* the Nightly One Grapes/Key wine, celebrations and ecstasy, theatre /underworld, dead and the riches under the Earth Loxias the Enlightened Lyre light, knowledge, music, poetry, dreams, prophecy and archery Kynthia the Huntress Bow and Arrow hunt, virginity, childbirth, archery, animals, the moon Enyal the Warrior Sword war, violence and bloodshed Kypris the Beautiful Rose love, beauty, desire, sex Chalkeús the Mute Fire fire and forge Enodios the Quick Tortoise commerce, thieves, and messengers Hestia the Friendly/Welcoming Hearth hearth, domesticity, family Vejovis the Scaled Serpent marshland and earthquakes, medicine, healing. Triodia the Arcane Crossroads magic, magic users, and crossroads Nomios the Wild Flute wild, shepherds and flocks, sex, nature, hunting and rustic music Anantios (Anancy) the Sly Spider web spiders, trickster, knowledge Tyche ('Luck','The Lady'**) Coin luck, gambling * one god who personifies two different aspects, this is a widely-known mystery of his cults **'the One-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named-(no!-the-other-one)', general consensus is that if you call to her she will go away
