Something I've realized about the Greek gods and goddesses is that, if you were to try and piece together all their different characterizations and variations by way of epithets, you'd see that they are spiteful, petty beings; but they are also kind, merciful, and do care about humanity - after all, we have a symbiotic relationship with the gods in the forms of prayer and sacrifices. If anything, they're just like us humans. By that logic, we're just extensions of the gods. But we have to earn our immortality by not just sacrifice and prayer, but upholding Greek ethics of community and hospitality.
