I know that for the Greek and Roman pantheons, ‘gods’ were powerful, but ultimately considered humanity to be something of a toy. They were arbitrary and cruel to humans as they wished, and felt they had no obligation to them, often ignoring them entirely. Of course Allah and Christian God loved humans and do everything they can to guide them on the path to righteousness. They are able to watch over every person, believer or not, and punish or reward them as they deserve. God in many ways considers humanity as his child, and has no other duties to attend to. I don’t understand why there has to be only one loving god, or when you have more than one they become cruel. Did pagans ever think that their pantheon of gods was united in their love for humans and looked after them? Did monotheistic peoples ever think their one god was arbitrary and self-centered like the Hellenistic gods?
I think God's "love" of humanity leaves a LOT to be clarified. The Abrahamic God is actually quite abritrary, like when he wanted Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, or when he ruined Job's life just to prove a point - that he was mighty and that he sets the agenda. He predetermines capriciously and we obey. We must keep faith that everything happens for a good reason which we might never know. Our one and only freedom is to realize that we are not free. Knowledge of that reason brings us closer to God, who is himself arbitrary. The appeal of Abrahamic faith is more ascetic or stoic which is nice if you live in an ivory tower but not very consoling otherwise. It's potentially dangerous (like any ideology).
Beginning in a similar way, everything in the Greco-Roman cosmos can be traced back to an origin of "formless" chaos. Everything follows from chaos; time, fate, freedom, and war itself. So war is not necessarily all that happens between the gods. The same goes for people. Greco-Roman mythology, like any mythology, puts individuals, households, people, their relationship to the cosmos, in a historical context as objects of description. In classical antiquity, mythology was both an ecology and marketplace of belief. The classical mindset was highly nuanced, required a lot of training and was blind to many of its own pitfalls. Plato and Cicero (like the Egyptians and Babylonians before them) even tried to incorporate their polytheistic system within a greater, more ideal one - like what Christianity attempts to do for Judaism - but that project is incomplete too.
