Best Answer

Gods and goddesses in ancient myths displayed some of the same emotions as humans-- greed, jealousy, a desire for revenge, etc. Sometimes, gods or goddesses died as a result of one of these emotions. For example, one story about the god Adonis is that he was killed by the goddess Artemis because she was jealous of his love for Aphrodite. Some gods were also killed in battles with demons or in battles with other gods.
