I would like to understand this Greek!

Oh yes Greece! With tons of culture and history (don't forget the wars). With the supreme ruler Zeus, and their history. The gods seemed like murderer or torturers to me, because they crave power so much. Hera tortured the people who Zeus loved other than her, Apollo's and Artemis's mother had killed 12 innocent children because of unnecessary boasting. Athena had turned someone into a spider for beating her in a knitting contest. Ever Zeus, whose father taken over his father by force, and after that, he killed his own father. Everyone seemed to be tortured or going too far, it just seems they don't have a system of punishment... What do you think about this? I feel it's too much to handle.

    To be honest, I think the Greek's created them like that to show how powerful they are and can be. Also they are GODS for Pete's sake, don't you think they should be able to do whatever they want even though it's wrong? And you have to keep in mind that these stories are all fake. Even though back then these tales were taken seriously, nowadays we know they are all fake so they should not be taken seriously. I do like your thought though!

    I do believe it is unnecessary to kill and torture because of such little things. I bet lots of people do to, but remember in the Athena story the woman who beat her beat her by cheating, but on the other hand Athena is a god and has more power than a mortal woman. In this case I don't know who was at fault. Who do you think is at fault?
