The Greek believes that there Gods are just and wise,but are they really just and wise?
Definitely wise and definitely unjust! They're definitely wise, because people won't follow them if they're not, but there are always exemptions, Aphrodite is one. We all know that Aphrodite is the Goddess of love, lust, beauty, seduction and pleasure, she may have the most beautiful face and the most irresistible body, but no one!Not even a goddess can seduce a warrior to stop killing on the battle field. Yet she still tried to save her son and Diomedes easily wounded her and she then hurried to Zues and whined like a girl. Aphrodite is a mother after all, willing to risk her life for her son(maybe because she's immortal). While Aphrodite showed foolishness, other Gods exhibited wisdom. When Zues saw that the Achaeans are overpowering the Trojans, he prohibited the other Gods to interfere in the war and eventually showered the Achaean ships with lightning. This act of Zues altered the tides of the battle. This proves that Zues is wise and unjust, because burned the ships not for Troy but for his son Achilles.
All the Gods have their own sides in this war, except for Zues, because Zues only wants to help his son Achilles, just as he promised Thetis the Silver foot.
If I were a Olympian God, I would help the Achaeans in this war, because the Trojans are the one who started it, their the one who stole Menelaus' wife, Helen. But does simply siding in war make the Gods unjust? No! Its the reason why they side in war. Athena for example helps the Achaens because she has an altar in an Achaean country. While Aphrodite helps the Trojan because she's the real reason why this war started. The Gods think differently, but not because you think your right makes you right.
