The gods, are pretty much, the fate holders. Gods are known to be arrogant, so it is always best to remain in their favor. Odysseus, in the first part of the Odyssey, upsets Poseidon, so the whole time Poseidon is trying to prevent Odysseus from going home. (He eventually makes it though.)

Some of the main gods mentioned in "The Odyssey" by Homer include Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, Hermes, and Apollo. Each of these gods plays a significant role in shaping the events of the epic poem.
No Greek gods and goddesses do not "fade"; what fades is the memory of their worship and role in lives of people before more "modern" gods and goddesses. Thus Pan was "replaced" in his role by Hermes and Dionysus, and Helios by Apollo and Selene by Artemis - at least that is how it was seen by those of the Renaissance, to explain why gods and goddesses of ancient people seemed to have overlapping roles.
