This from a pantheon whose deity of wisdom turned a woman into a spider for the crime of being a better weaver than her, and having the audacity to boast about it?
It almost seems simple, really. They treat their mortal subjects in the most despicable ways possible, and then secretly raise up Heroes that teach the people independent thinking. This is a test, to distinguish between those Heroes that question the gods out of arrogance or other dark motives, and those that genuinely seek the betterment of mankind.
Secret question addressed only to Zeus: If I praise the gods enough, I can get upgrades and protection, right? Oh, and some cool armor, an Infinity Plus One Sword, and a boomerang. That would be epic.
