1. It was believed he possessed the riches of the earth--from the fertile soil in which seeds grew, to the variety of metals that could be mined from the earth. The Greek word for wealth is "ploutos", and his Roman counterpart, Pluto, was believed to be thusly named because of the riches that could be found under the earth.
2. Persephone.
3. There are very few myths that include Hestia. She is mentioned as the oldest and youngest child of Cronus and Rhea, after Cronus swallowed his children. They were swallowed in order of birth, and when Cronus was forced to regurgitate his offspring, they were discharged in reverse order, making Hestia the oldest but youngest child. It was said that both Poseidon and Apollo had tried to woo her, but she was adamant about remaining virginal and swore to Zeus that she would remain so. In Ovid's Fasti, Priapus, a son of Aphrodite, tried to take advantage of a sleeping Hestia. She awakened after hearing a donkey braying.
4. Aphrodite was the goddess of love and beauty, so it goes without saying that she was beautiful herself. But she also had in her possession a magical cestus (belt/girdle), which caused men and gods alike to fall under her spell.
5. Hephaestus was born weak and crippled. He walked with a limp, probably due in large to being born crippled, but also because either Zeus or Hera (depending on the source) threw him from Mount Olympus. Hera was said to have been so displeased with the sight of her son that she ejected him, but Zeus was also said to have ejected Hephaestus after he had sided with his mother during an argument.
6. Poseidon was often called the Earth Shaker (Ennosigaios or enosichthon) and the Earth Holder/Encircler (Gaieokhos).
7. Artemis and Hestia; both swore to remain chaste.
8. Because it was the Cap of Invisibility and was able to turn the wearer invisible. Perseus obtained it when he went off to slay Medusa.
9. Ares' throne was covered in human skin.
10. Because she had eaten seeds of a pomegranate from the underworld. The time she was allowed back on earth with her mother was agreed to by Zeus, because of the dying earth that resulted from Demeter's negligence following the disappearance of her daughter. Hades wanted Persephone with him, Demeter with her, so Zeus reached a comprise.
11. Zeus was said in some accounts to have conspired with Hades in the abduction of Persephone. In the Homeric Hymns to Demeter, Zeus willed Earth (Gaia) to cause beautiful, fragrant flowers to sprout up, to bait Persephone for Hades. In awe of all the beautiful flowers, she reached out to grab one and Poseidon sprang up from a crack in the earth and abducted her.
12. Hermes.
