On the other hand, just because such an epiphany strikes us as incongruous or absurd doesn't mean that Zeus didn't, or wouldn't, do it. After all, Gods aren't bound by our standards of decorum. But this does not mean the Gods are immoral. The Gods have Their own morality, and it makes no more sense to apply out behavioral norms to them, then it would to apply our moral norms to wolves. To take an example I used in a previous post, Gods may engage in incest, perhaps to achieve some aim, such as begetting a new God with a specific character, and there is no reason to suppose that such incest would have any of the disastrous consequences that it does for people.
Gods are different, both genetically and psychologically, from people.
Well, perhaps it's a different notion of worship from that in Christianity. Which brings me to my last point, concerning the quarrels and deceptions of the Gods. Naturally we put these things into our own terms, but I think that the myths reflect actual conflicts between these Ineluctable Forces. The Judgement of Paris provides a good example of Polytheism at work. Paris is confronted by three Goddesses, Aphrodite, Athena and Hera.
