Because they had the high ground?
Sounds like the Trump administration.
Heyoooooo
Na. They're not attracted to anyone over the age of 13.
I am no expert but missed that part, I recall zeus himself taking the form of animals to bang mortal woman more than once, and Hera's vindictive changing into a fly was it, flying in a woman's ear, then going person again and exploding their head? I probably got that story wrong.
Did Zeus or his kids or brothers fuck actual animals themselves?

Don't forget "golden showers": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana%C3%AB
Not the Olympians that I know of. But Pasiphae was a goddess, daughter of Helios, who fucked the Cretan Bull and gave birth to the Minotaur.
OK, lets not pretend that the "goddesses" weren't little deviant degenerates themselves.
Zeus pretending to be an injured swan in order to rape a lady is some of the wildest shit I've ever read.
Didn't Perseidon also have sex with Medusa (maybe consensual, maybe not) in Athena's temple and Athena turned her into a gorgon?
Daedalus build a fake cow, so Pasiphaë (daughter of the god Helios) could position herself inside, in order to trick the Cretan Bull into mating with her. She later gave birth to Asterion, also called the Minotaur.

In Ovid's version yes. It wasn't consensual either.

This is another case of Poseidon strikes again.
Poseidon gave the bull as a gift to Minos the king of Crete, expecting him to sacrifice it. Minos instead likes the bull a lot and decides he wants to keep it, so he sacrifices another one. Poseidon in his anger causes his wife Pasiphaë who is indeed the daughter of Helios (or Sol) to fall in love with the bull. She willingly recruits Daedalus to build the fake cow for her so she could trick the bull into mating with her.
Poseidon is just as bad as Zeus. He chases Demeter who attempts to avoid him by transforming into a mare. Instead he turns into a stallion and rapes her.
I think it just comes down to ancient greeks were subconsciously kinky as fuck when they "Divined" these stories into existence
No it's all true and Zeus loves you!
Subconsciously? Nah, they were conscious of it.
Today people are just monsterfuckers. Back then they wrote their fanfics about fucking the literal gods.
I get it. Godly beings were probably perceived as smokin hot
If Supergiant has anything to say about it
Yes
All of them
Consent didn't really enter the picture in a lot of the stories.
Immortality leads to boredom. Boredom leads to stupid decisions.
So does being a billionaire. Jk Rowling would have been happier in ancient Greek times, she could have fed her obsession with other people's private parts by contributing fics to the olympian lore instead of whatever the hell unhinged raging she's doing now.
I got bored and installed a bunch of shelves in my garage. It seems to have been a pretty good decision.
Give it a few thousand years, eventually you'd fuck those shelves and spawn a race of shelf-men.
Yes, but are you an immortal god?
Stupid decisions lead to fear. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
It's always greener on the other side
Or the inside, as it were.
You might want to see a doctor about that.
These gods sound a lot like regular people
That's one of the things that makes greek and norse mythology appealing IMO. They make mistakes like we do. They get horny, they fuck and they fuck up.
Makes them also more believable and causes less logical issues.
Once you make someone or something all knowing and all powerful things stop making any sense.
Especially so with the norse mythology, the gods are like people that have achieved magic and immortality. Too bad celtic and gaulic and germanic and the rest of the barbarian mythology has mostly been lost to history because they weren't given to letters. Which is the definition of a barbarian tribe according to some, if they wrote shit down.
Makes sense when you realize the Greek pantheon was basically all siblings and cousins of each other.
This seems like a goddess issue more than a god issue.
