Why are there statues of greek gods which depict a human being but there was never a human found for instance Zeus?
According to Greek myth, when Prometheus made man, he wanted to give them a special gift. But his brother, Epimetheus, had given all the gifts to the other animals that had been made. So, Prometheus, knowing man was special, made him walk upright, in the image of the gods, and gave him fire, such as only the gods themselves could harness. So, the Greeks made statues of their gods in their own image, since if mankind was made to look like the gods, they must have the same form. The reality of it is that we create gods in our own image, and the Greek sculptors use the only form they knew, the human form, to represent their gods.

What role did the Greeks Gods of Mt. Olympus play the Greeks daily life?
The Olympian Gods played a variety of roles in the daily lives of ancient Greeks. As each was responsible for a different sphere, and various activities in each, of human life, the Gods were often called upon to witness and also to bless daily activities. Promises were made and oaths uttered in the names of these Gods. Special sacrifices or offerings, along with prayers, were made directly to these Gods, whether at home or in temples or even by special human representatives of these Gods. As watchful overseers of human activity, the Gods were also felt as a daily, if often vague, moral presence, reminding humankind to do good, not ill, and to avoid what most ancient Greeks considered to be the ultimate vice: pride.

How can you have special powers?
In Mythology...there are a few ways to obtain special powers...If you are a demigod (half human half god) then you would be born with special abilities. The myths are rife with demigods as the Gods in particular had a fondness for human women...Perseus and Hercules were both deemed demigods. In addition, Gods and Goddesses could confer special weapons, items, or powers to their favorites. As always when dealing with dieties...buyer must beware, as they are just as likely to revoke these powers and abilities should it suit their purposes!
