The Gods in the Iliad. The gods take sides in the Iliad. The gods help their favorite mortals both directly and indirectly.
I would describe them as magnified human nature. They show favouritism, compassion, spite, wrath, humour. The only one of the gods to not show condescension in any way is Hephaestos, particularly when Thetis approaches him for new armour for Achilles. They are unusual, in so far as we understand gods in a modern context, as they are the gods of the powerful adn rich, people of lesser stature are not depicted as praying to the gods, sacrifice and libation is only carried out by those who rank higher.
their behaviors and reactions to issues were more human than god-like (ares and aphrodite complaining that they got injured in battle rather than acting like grown ups) as well as the problems they faced (marital issues between zeus and hera/ares and aphrodite getting injured in war compared to the mortals dealing with murder, kidnapping, and theft).
The Iliad reflects on Greek values because it includes Greek religion, poems, their culture, hospitality, and family. Also it shows how they worshipped the gods and goddesses and it reflected in the heroes of the story.

The Iliad is an ancient Greek epic poem attributed to Homer, depicting the events of the Trojan War. It focuses on the conflict between the Greek hero Achilles and King Agamemnon, as well as various gods and heroes of Greek mythology. The Iliad is considered one of the greatest works of Western literature.
Homer is not a god. He was a mere mortal who wrote the Iliad and the Odyssey. These are sometimes considered to be the Greek bible, but they were also criticised for unfairly portraying the gods as having human-like failings.
Hades, the god of the Underworld, is constantly portrayed as evil. There are no other "evil" gods or goddesses, although many of them had quick tempers.
