Eros, Hebe, Hecate, Helios, Herakles, Dionysus, Iris, Selene, Hestia, Pan, and Nike were the Minor Greek Gods.

Dionysus was a major god. Herakles was a demi-god.

There were hundreds of minor gods and goddesses, these are just a few. Some more are Janus, Nemesis, Thanatos, Ate, Aurora and many more. There are also other creatures such as the nymphs and dryads, the satyrs and specific characters like the fates, the muses and the graces. There are also the titans who came before the gods and the beings that came before them.

Minor gods are still gods. The Greeks had 12 main Olympian Gods, but there were other smaller gods such as Janus or Nemesis. They are still there, but not as important or significant as ones like Zeus or Poseidon.

There were many minor goddesses in Greek myth who were there simply as personifications of nature and ideas, or of emotions and causes. These goddesses can be called minor today because they played few roles to no role in the comedy plays and more well known tragedies we know of today.
