Hephaestus was the only ugly god, and that is the reason Zeus chose him to marry Aphrodite.

The relationship between the gods and humans in Book XIII of Homer’s The Odyssey plays an important role on Odysseus’ growth as a hero. Odysseus has arrived at his homeland, Ithaca, but he cannot sail directly to his home because his ship was turned into stone by Poseidon. This provides some challenges for Odysseus, because he must wait more to arrive home, after many years of waiting. Athena later decided that Odysseus was not yet ready to go home.
In the Odyssey, I feel as if the Gods role was to function more as spiritual guides and as support for the human of choice. An example being Athena reuniting Odessyus and his son after 20 years, Hermes warning Odysseus of Circes witchcraft, and Circes giving him directions. Yet, I also feel as if they punish for poor behavior as well.
In Greek culture during Homer 's time gods were the center of civilization, gods were worshiped and therefore the gods would make life better in peoples lives. It was believed that if you worshiped the god or goddess enough, that entity would help you in times of need. If you didn 't worship an entity then that entity might not help you in times of need. In fact that entity might make things harder for you. We see both cases in the Odyssey.

I have been convinced that Hesiod is indeed a man that was influenced by the kingdom of darkness of the spiritual realm. Everything he writes is inspired by the governor of such kingdom or his workers, and I know I might be mocked at this, but truth is truth whether it is believed or not. It is indeed easier to believe he is a mere poet that writes myths and metaphors using the word “gods” in order to explain his worldview. Nevertheless, reasoning in this manner is ignoring the spiritual structures in his works that influence the mind of our spirits to deceive humanity from the truth. His view of mankind’s past and future is basically about no hope or significance for human beings.
In the epic poem The Odyssey, Homer portrays Greek gods and goddesses as possessing human qualities and faults. Through their actions and emotions, Homer emphasizes the detrimental effects of lust, envy, wrath, and greed in ancient Grecian society. He also never fails to remind readers of the importance of respect for holy figures because of their powerful abilities to create chaos and wonder". Homer wants to prove that gods and humans share a variety of traits, and the only difference is that god don’t allow these flaws negatively to impact their society. To help further his argument, we can compare Greek gods and goddesses to that of Christianity.
The belief system and the presence of God is one of the things many cultures and people have taken for granted. In Homer’s Odyssey, there is a presence of the gods which makes mortal to have the ability to talk to them, see them and even feel their presence around them.

In the Greece empire, the power of the gods is the most constantly praised which Looking at the roles of the gods, Athena, goddess of wisdom and a daughter of Zeus admired the courage and faith in odyssey. Athena pleaded with his father by saying: father Zeus, whose power is supreme, if the blessed gods really do want Odysseus to return to his home, we should send Hermes, our quicksilver herald,
Homer, Hesiod and the Epistemological Tradition Homer’s and Hesiod’s epic poems do not contain a philosophical system. Epic narrators are no critical thinkers whose purpose is to compare and analyse conflicting views on the origins of the world as well as on human nature, ethics and religion, searching for most adequate answers. Still, Homer and Hesiod have a philosophical value and can be integrated into a philosophical debate. Even if we limit our analysis to their role in the tradition of Greek philosophy, we have to admit their importance for several authors, starting with Xenophanes and Heraclites.
