Mythology tales are usually divided into two categories. Those of love and those of punishment or revenge. So it isn't too hard to find many, many examples of punishment by the Gods. I think in some of mythology you will find that a punishment by a God often fit the crime. For instance a person's vanity might be the crime so the person would be turned into some terrible creature or be hidden away from the world to see their beauty. Other punishments were just out of revenge for humiliating the Gods. Prometheus, for instance, tricked the Gods into eating bones and stole the sacred fire from the Gods so Zeus had him chained and every day a vulture would come and eat his liver and every night the liver would grow back so that the punishment was endless. I think you will find that most of the punishment dealt in endless human suffereing.
