Answer 5

Whether they existed or no, Greek Mythology makes great reading material ^_^ If you are bored, pick up a copy and start reading ^^ and for the record, I don't think they were real, but thats just my opinion ^^

Answer 6

yes - they have such a detailed history and you can trace their ancestry and descendants... many of the "Gods" slept with humans and had offspring, who were semi/demi gods like Heracles.  There are countless sources in history that give detailed accounts of encounters with the Olympian family. For example Apollo attending a banquet in Delphi during the time of the Trojan war. The Olympians were a very real and powerful political force during these times, both the Trojans and Achaeans sought their allegeiance which caused a split in the Olympian family....

The question is, who were they? what made them so powerful so that men called them gods?
