what would happen if you got all of these deities together in the same room at the same time? fireworks and flaming arrows?

I'd say a serious orgy for most. Some kids for others. Some heart connections for others.

Yes but probably a smackdown would ensure betweeen:

Tenye Te'en Nigerian goddess Marital fidelity

and

Tagabayan Philippine goddess Adultery/Incest


Cat fight!

Nu Wa Chinese goddess Marriage Arranger
might get involved just to try and sort things out... with a steel chair!

You have a point there.

I'd rather like to see Diana and Artemis take on P'an Chin-lien, Medb, and Achtland.

Perhaps they by flinging copious amounts of face cream (source: Hsi Shih), they'll be able to cool the frenzy long enough to reason with the licivious bunch.
