Most of them were disputes over territory or resources between the Greek city-states. The external wars were against attempted intrusions from Persia, Macedonia and Rome, and finally from Asian peoples migrating in.

Where the greek gods grumpy?

No the Greek gods were not "grumpy". In fact, most of them were quite cheerful. However, they tended to take sides in mortal wars. It is believed that in WW2 the Greek gods took sides. They don't fight in the mortals' wars, but they start their own wars with each other because they disagree about who should/will be victorious in the mortal wars. In general though, the gods were not grumpy. They merely had minor discrepancies that caused anger and irritation occasionally leading to wars.
