Who were the people from whom the Romans borrowed the idea of gods appearing in human form?

The Romans borrowed the idea of gods appearing in human form from the ancient Greeks. This concept is known as anthropomorphism, where gods are depicted with human characteristics and emotions. The Greeks believed that their gods could take on human form to interact with mortals, influence events, and intervene in the affairs of the world. This idea was later adopted and adapted by the Romans as they assimilated Greek culture and mythology into their own belief system.

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.


What was Zeus made out of?

The ancient Greeks believed their gods to be spiritual, just as the Abrahamic God is. Zeus was the sky god and chief god in the ancient Greek pantheon, and was spiritual like the others.
