Human? Bro I got news for you…
You know Hera was taking side dick on the regs, but had enough sense to not do it while ovulating
Also, the human women generally weren’t all that into it.
Explanation: In Greek mythology, the gods have a concerning tendency to carry on affairs with (or rape - ancient mythology is gruesome) mortal women. Despite almost all of said gods being already married to deities.
Your wife is literally goddess-tier, what are you doing guy
One important nuance is that Greek deities tended to be “human, except more”. More powerful, but also more prone to negative traits. Their gods tended to be dicks, but their goddesses also tended to be cunts.
Like, in what’s probably the most famous mythical epic, you have the deification of envy sparking a fight over who’s the most beautiful, which ends with the three most powerful of them agreeing on a judge, then all three trying to bribe that judge. Nevermind that Aphrodite fulfills her promise through adultery that sparks a war, which even the gods end up participating in over various shades of wounded pride.
I’m also inclined to think that Aphrodite wasn’t the only one cheating on her husband left, right and sometimes right in front of him. It sure doesn’t seem like the other gods took issue with her inciting adultery, specifically, rather than the general “how dare you win this contest by being a better cheater”.
So with those jealous, petty and probably also unfaithful goddesses for wives, I’m not sure “god-tier” is a convincing argument.
Doesn’t make the rape (if not explicit, then due to the extreme imbalance of power – you’re not gonna say “no” to a guy that can and quite possibly will ruin your entire harvest) any less despicable, of course.
No matter how hot a person is, someone somewhere is sick of their shit.

Were Greek relationships status quo monogamous?
Not exactly. There was a custom in some parts of Ancient Greece where young male apprentices (teenagers) had sexual relationships with their (adult, married) teachers during the time they were apprenticing.
Obviously the answer is because it had to happen for narrative and plot reasons, but if we wanted to try to rationalize it maybe it’s the same as having a furry fetish: lower lifeforms with traits that would be considered repulsive, but it’s kinky and exciting to some.
Thank you for this rationalization of the furry fetish. Now I can fully accept it and the people who have it.
I’m glad I could help greek gods find a way to relate to it. May you not deign to notice me further.
‘Goddess’ is a hereditary title, and does not guarantee she looks like a goddess.
I’ve seen Ancient Greek statues of their goddesses, mfing Greek gods just had no taste
Sculpting an unflattering portrayal of one of your petty, capricious deities seems unwise.
Eh.
It might be less wise to sculpt something that was …unsubtle.
