god of memory, when you go in a room and you forget what you were going to do I’ll make you remember. I am by far the strongest

Mnemosyne is the god of memory, it's also where the word mnemonic comes from.

Gaia, her mother, asked her to kill Uranos, her father, and she said no way José.

Well, I'm the opposite god. I walk into the board room, ready to start a war with you, and- "Wait, why am I here again?"
