In general, the gods of Ancient Greek Mythology were born with their supernatural powers. Exceptions to this are cases where a mythological character has become a god; in these cases, their powers will most-likely have been granted by another god or supernatural being.

How do Norse gods compare to greek gods in mythology?
This is like comparing apples to oranges. The Norse viewed their gods in a completely different fashion that the Greeks did, primarily because of the differences in their society. The Norse had a complete history for their gods that went to some future end of days (Ragnarok) in which even the gods themselves would perish. The Norse gods were not immune to aging or injury (Odin removed one of his own eyes in order to gain wisdom, and was aging). The Greek gods were immortal, usually immune to injury (with notable exceptions), and even if they were born as infants, seemed to reach adulthood (or sometimes younger) and stopped aging altogether. Additionally, while it is alluded to that Zeus would eventually fall to one of his own sons the way his father fell to him, there is never any specific reference made to whom it would be. Both set of gods represent personified forces of Nature, but while the Norse gods seemed to represent all that was good and noble about humankind (or in some cases evil and detestable), the Greek gods were as unpredictable and unruly as the elements they represented. Zeus could be soft and forgiving one moment, wrathful and vengeful the next. They were like human beings with all the emotions turned full blast. -Indiriel ------- Greek gods seem to live in a sort of paradise where they look down upon earth and intervene at their own convince. They never really die, being immortal. Where as the Norse gods do die, and it's seen in the ending of Ragnarok.
