person's actions become unfairly misinterpreted or
not understood at all. Sometimes rumors circulate
about the individuals, that might then be assumed
as the truth....

story, whether it is its function, meaning,
successes, or failure. In a way...

Gods play an integral role in Homeric society.
They are very active in the lives of humans, both
in wartime and peacetime. People depend on the
gods to help them fight wars, protect their loved
ones, and just improve their everyday lives. Since
they do play such a large role in the lives of
humans, people often blame or credit gods for
things they had no involvement in. This can lead
to complicated dealings between gods and humans.
