Most likely, the Greek gods and goddesses were created in human form because they were created by humans who visualized them as being humans, only with greater powers. People have always designed there belief systems in ways that they can relate to the Deities in them.
Humans came up with the gods, therefore, the gods must have human characteristics. If they didn't have any human qualities, no one would understand them, because we (and the Greeks)are human, and humans only really understand human traits.
