Humans don't know how to us powers to change things. I think humans made sacrifices for the gods because god were more powerful. Gods ruled us back then

  3. The interaction with the gods is that they feel better than the mortals. The mortals are afraid of them for bringing bad to their homes. Though the gods interact with them by having kids. The mortals think if they sacrifice a human or animal that it's going to bring good luck to them.

  6. Most of the time, the mortal will go to the temple of the god and pray to them, and they appear to help the mortal. Sometimes they will say something like "Athena be with us," and then Athena will appear.

  8. The gods were bigger more powerful versions of man. They had human emotions but the lived forever. They had flaws but great powers. They treated man sort of on a equal level.

  9. The gods on Mount Olympus are interesting, they’re certainly very unlike gods in any other major religion. With their supernatural capabilities, susceptibility to injury, conflicting desires, and perpetually changing allegiances, the gods are more like little kids on a playground than infinitely compassionate deities.
