Who's Who on Mt. Olympus.
The thing I like best about Greek myth is the belief that the position of the gods on Olympus is fragile, that Zeus will someday be overthrown just as the two previous generations of gods had been. It's neat. You don't see much of that in religion anymore.
A war in which
technologically advanced humans are the ones who overthrow the Greek gods might make a pretty decent science fiction novel or movie, come to think of it.
Pretend I didn't just say that.
