I find it interesting that distrust for the gods seem to be
universal. These people lived a life in fear of the gods’ trickery. They were
like living chess pieces, they knew they were being played but they could do
nothing to stop it. They were constantly worried about appeasing the gods, so
that their lives would be spared. This leads me to consider the motifs of the
Greeks when worshiping Greek gods. Perhaps it made more since to them that a
higher power would be so spiteful, given the evil state of man. They saw the
state of man and thus created gods that treated the tiny mortals the way they
deserved to be treated.
P.S. I commented on Jeremy Beaman’s Post
