The pantheon from Bastion (2011 game) is really quite excellent. Each of the twelve gods represents both a value and its negation and I haven't seen anyone write about it.

e.g. "Jevel, the god of health and atrophy. We each have the Tower Keeper's strength in us, until that strength runs out."

What are your favorite pantheons from fiction?

@starkatt I really liked the one in the Deed of Paksenarrion, since it was never actually spelled out completely or explicitly. By the end you know a handful of the pantheon, but definitely not all of them.
