The ancient Greek gods were anthropromorphic (they all had human forms) barring Pan who was half man and half goat. As for benevolence some of them, like Pan, were more sinister and some could hold a grudge, such as Hera and Zeus's son Heracles

∙ 13y agoYes. A large amount of Greek and Roman mythology concerns deities acting in a particularly human fashion, particularly plotting against one another. Such anthropomorphizing (also known as anthropotheism) was criticized by some such as Socrates (evident in Plato's Euthyphro), which may explain his being put to death for believing in false gods.

Where is the home of the Roman gods?
Unlike the Greek mythology, early Roman religion did not see their gods as engaging in human-like activities. There are no accounts of such things as where they would live. They were known as protectors of various aspects of human life, with a very complex hierarchy. Only later, when large parts of Greek mythology were borrowed, we see more anthropomorphic characteristics ascribed to Roman gods, as well as many Greek gods added to the Roman pantheon. Many of these "new" gods were believed to have lived on mount Olympus, which is the highest mountain in Greece.

What are Egyptian gods called if they are not anthropomorphic?
Anthropotheism is a word that is used to ascribe human form and nature to gods, or the belief that the gods are only deified human beings. Many instances of Anthropomorphic Deity are seen in the actions of the gods. For instance, the ideal that the gods have wives, husbands, deceit, tragedy, and etc are anthropomorphic by definition. In terms of physical anthropomorphism the deities of the Egyptian culture would always have the bodies of man but heads of animals. Quite often anthropomorphic traits have been seen across most polytheistic mythologies (greek, roman, norse, native american, etc...). While the Egyptian gods are not fully defined by anthropomorphism, there is also a heirarchy by which they ascribe themselves. For instance, Osiris being a diety higher in the rank than Anubis, or Ra being more powerful than Osiris. These create a tier management system for the gods. Even the outline of the Ennead (the nine) looks like this in terms of godly heirarchy... ..........................................RA (Atum)............................................... ............................................./.....\.................................................... ........................................Shu==Tefnut............................................. ......................................../.............\................................................. ....................................Nut======Geb........................................... ..................................../........|.......|......\........................................... .............................Osiris.....Isis...Set...Nephthys............................... .........................................................................................................
