It's impossible for a mortal to become a God
Odysseus faces the wrath of several gods during his journey. Most notably, Poseidon, the god of the sea, is angered because Odysseus blinds his son, the Cyclops Polyphemus. Additionally, Athena, although often a protector of Odysseus, sometimes has to navigate the discontent of other deities who interfere in his journey. Ultimately, Poseidon's relentless pursuit poses the greatest challenge to Odysseus's return home.
Greek gods, and goddesses drank wine.
All along. Gods and goddesses were born as gods and goddesses and remained gods and goddesses throughput their immortality.
In the Odyssey, Odysseus shows respect for the gods by making sacrifices and offerings to them, following their guidance and advice, and acknowledging their power and influence over his destiny. He prays to the gods for help and guidance on his journey home, and he honors them by obeying their commands and rituals.
Some of the major gods in the Odyssey include Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and Hermes. Zeus is the king of the gods, Athena is the goddess of wisdom and warfare who aids Odysseus, Poseidon is the god of the sea who opposes Odysseus, and Hermes is the messenger of the gods who helps guide Odysseus on his journey.
The Gods aren't for or against Odysseus. The majority of them couldn't care less whether he lived or died. It was Poseidon that hated him and tried everything he could to delay his journey home and kill him, and it was Athena who was helping him.
