The gods sometimes reveal themselves as mortals to interact more intimately with humanity, fostering connections that transcend divine isolation. This allows them to experience human emotions, struggles, and joys firsthand, providing a deeper understanding of the human condition. Additionally, such transformations can serve to teach lessons, challenge misconceptions, or test the virtue of mortals, ultimately enhancing the narrative richness of myths and legends.
Many Greek gods go into disguise when interacting with mortals. Zeus often had love affairs with mortal women and often disguised himself. When the Greek gods wished to test mortals, they would disguise themselves as well, for example in the myth of Baucis and Philemon. Sometimes the gods disguised themselves as mortals, and sometimes as beasts.
