The idea is that the world is ruled by a multitude of gods, each with special powers and responsibilities. It is ruled by many gods who each had special powers that control a different part of the world. A Greek god is Athea.

You should understand that what we describe today as Greek mythology was the religion of the ancient Greeks; to them it was not mythology, it was reality. The gods of ancient Greece were thought to actually exist, and to live on Mount Olympus, and to watch over and meddle in human lives, as described by Homer, and so forth.
