Question

ead the passage from Heracles.

Ancient peoples believed in a pantheon of gods. To the ancient Greeks, the gods possessed human characteristics, including their weaknesses, such as vanity, greed, jealousy, vengefulness, and cruelty. In their stories, there was regular interaction between gods and humans, as well as demigods, who were the offspring of a union between a god and a mortal. Thus, many myths have to do with the struggle between them.

Based on the passage, what did the ancient Greeks most likely believe about their gods?

The gods had greater character flaws than humans.
The gods had fewer character flaws than humans.
The gods lived by the same values as humans.
The gods lived by different values than humans.

Answer 1

The gods lived by the same values as humans.

Reason: the passage says the gods "possessed human characteristics, including their weaknesses" (vanity, greed, jealousy, etc.), implying they were like humans in character and behavior.
