Architects strived for precision and excellence which were the hallmarks of Greek art in general, and this centred on their respect for the gods and their intervention in human affairs.
Unlike many other ancient cultures the Greek gods were human shaped and human nature at heart, they loved, they pitied, they cried - they were not monsters that only hated and were vengeful - there is a certain beauty in the Greek myths whose gods and goddesses were portrayed later as being beyond the need of human sacrifice which marked so many other cultures. There are hints to the dark past of Greek myth, but in the myths they seem remote even in the time when Greek myth was old religion.

No, they imputed this to "the Gods", who were constantly meddling in human affairs.
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.

The incident with Athena at the opening of Part 2 of the Odyssey illustrates the ancient Greek belief in the active involvement of gods in human affairs. Athena's guidance and support for Odysseus underscore the importance of divine favor and intervention in achieving personal goals and overcoming challenges. This reflects the Greek understanding of fate and free will, where human actions are often influenced by the whims of deities. Moreover, it highlights the value placed on wisdom and cunning, traits associated with Athena, as essential for success.
Well, the Greek gods and goddess don't just reflect the Greeks they reflect human nature in ways... The Greek gods have quarrel's, argument's, fights, affairs, jealousy issues and lots more. In ways they were basically humans with godlike abilities. I hope I answered your question. :)
In ancient Greek philosophy and mythology, the concept of "psyche" represents the human soul, mind, and spirit. It is significant because it symbolizes the essence of a person's inner self, emotions, and consciousness. The idea of psyche was central to understanding human nature, morality, and the afterlife in Greek thought.
