God has always lovingly warned mankind about the consequence of not living up to his standards.
Genesis 2: 17 is the first example in the Garden of E'den. It reads" But as for the tree of knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat from it, for the day you eat from it you will certainly die"
Adam knew that if he did not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and bad that he would not die. That command would have made no sense if they were meant to grow old and die anyway.
By not eating from the tree, the first couple would have shown their obedience to the One who gave them life. It would also have shown that they recognized God's right to direct their ways. The clear statement of the penalty, if violated, was death. And that is exactly what happened.
Genesis 6: 9 is another example, which shows that Noah and his family were saved due to their obedience and proved themselves faultless in the eyes of God. All those who refused to listen to Noah perished.
Hebrew 11: 7reads. " By faith Noah, after receiving warning of things not yet seen ,showed godly fear and constructed an ark for the saving of his household; and through this faith he condemned the world, and he became an heir of the righteousness that results from faith.
Psalm 37: 29 reminds us that the righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it. The condition to live forever on earth are the same that were given to Adam and Eve. Which are to live up to god's standards. Will we listen this time?
2 Timothy 3: 1-5 describe people of our world today, as " lovers of themselves, lovers of money, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, without self-control and so much more.
Isaiah 48: 17,18 and 2 Timothy 3: 16,17 show that mankind has been equipped with God's teaching to benefit themselves, to guide us in the way we should walk, with the promise of becoming righteous and being able to live in peace, until God's kingdom (government)comes and undo all the harm that millenniums of human rule have done.
Matthew 6: 9,10 shows that Jesus told us to pray for God's kingdom to come, where His will, will take place as in heaven also on earth. All those who are determined to do what is bad and who refuse to obey God, Proverbs2: 22 describes the outcome in these words. " As for the wicked, they will be cut off from the earth."
2'000 years ago God sent his precious Son to redeem the human race from the curse of sin and death and to undo the damage caused by Satan who promised Eve that she will be like God in Genesis 3: 4.
Well that did not happen, did it? Romans 5: 12 shows that death was spread like a disease on mankind.
So to answer your question, which is " Was God's punishment too harsh? Jehovah God is our heavenly Father who warns His children about the outcomes of their choices, with the hope that we will turn around and do what is right. Ephesians 2: 4 shows that Jehovah God is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loves us. But at the same time He will not allow his faithfull ones to suffer endlessly.

How did greek gods punish?
Mythology tales are usually divided into two categories. Those of love and those of punishment or revenge. So it isn't too hard to find many, many examples of punishment by the Gods. I think in some of mythology you will find that a punishment by a God often fit the crime. For instance a person's vanity might be the crime so the person would be turned into some terrible creature or be hidden away from the world to see their beauty. Other punishments were just out of revenge for humiliating the Gods. Prometheus, for instance, tricked the Gods into eating bones and stole the sacred fire from the Gods so Zeus had him chained and every day a vulture would come and eat his liver and every night the liver would grow back so that the punishment was endless. I think you will find that most of the punishment dealt in endless human suffereing.
