Where are the real Greek gods when you really need them?

I mean they were petty, deceitful, jealous, and egotistical...

Oh my.... They're leading the Democratic Party.

They are off in Etheopia partaking in the sacrifices in their honor!

Sounds like a fun bunch. In actual fact, many of the pre-Christian pagan faiths of Europe had such imperfect gods... and that was the point. The better myths showed the gods as flawed, and showed how those flaws bit 'em in the ass. This is especially true in the case of the Nordic gods, who were somewhat unique in being mortal and woundable. They were gods and lore that taught not by Commandment, but by Example.
