Hence, the Greek mythology.

They did everyone. Not just the women, but the men, animals and young boys too.
Sounds like the Trump administration.
Heyoooooo
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.
Immortality leads to boredom. Boredom leads to stupid decisions.
I got bored and installed a bunch of shelves in my garage. It seems to have been a pretty good decision.
Yes, but are you an immortal god?
Stupid decisions lead to fear. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
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.
It's always greener on the other side
This seems like a goddess issue more than a god issue.
