The Greek deities stand out from the crowd because most civilizations before this were monotheistic, which here means that they worshiped a single god, unlike the Greeks, who were polytheistic, with here means that they worshipped many gods. Sorry if I confused you with such a long answer, but, there you go.
The Greek Gods were immortal and possessed powers beyond the average human. One of the most important aspects of ancient Greek mythology was not how different the deities were from mankind, but how similar. In Christianity, certain emotions are taboo: rage, jealousy; lust. However, in Greek mythology, those same emotions that modern-day religions are trying to suppress were emphasized in the Gods. Unlike our modern view of God in Western tradition, the Olympian Gods experienced extremely intensified jealousy, rage, and also lust. One need only remember the war against Troy that ensured after Paris slighted Hera and Athena.
They would change to look like humans and they were formed the same way we were. :)
According to one of the many Greek creation myths, Epimetheus had given all of the gifts of the gods to all the other creatures, leaving none for men. So Prometheus made man walk upright on two legs, like the gods, and gave him the gift of fire. This coincides with the Judeo-Christian belief that man was created in god's image. The Greeks made their gods very human-like, though. They were subject to the same passions as humans, if not to a much higher degree.
praised differently and different names and personalities but roman gods are the same as Greek gods

Mortality, the Greek gods and goddesses could not die as people did.
The greeks believed that gods and goddesses were immortal and human kind was not.
Those 3 gods of the ancient Greek pantheon were notoriously lustful. The Greek gods were psychologically very much like human beings, they were just more powerful.
They were just like gods in other religions.
The Greek gods chose whatever form they wanted, if they wanted to be human they became that.
the classical Greek's did not believe in giving a human-like form to their gods.
Greek gods and goddesses could change their appearances from human (old, young, hair color - exc.) to animals (cows, swans, fly, goat).
The Greek gods looked just like humans,
The Greek gods were personifications of forces of nature and abstract ideals, like victory or sleep. They Greeks made the gods in their own image, giving them all-too-human personalities and traits (such as hubris, lust and jealousy).
She, like all Greek gods and goddesses, could make mistakes. This being a trait of humanity.
Living in luxury Epic battles Stories of temptation and other human like qualities
greek gods are not like humans, humans are like greek gods. the difference is that e are mortal and they are immortal. they only have powers because the take care of their section of the earth.
Hades, like all Greek gods and goddesses was given human qualities, and ultimately it is for the individual to recognize these.
Most likely, the Greek gods and goddesses were created in human form because they were created by humans who visualized them as being humans, only with greater powers. People have always designed there belief systems in ways that they can relate to the Deities in them.
