>yeah but they believed morals came from otherworldly realms
not at all!
in reality Greeks had Gods, demi-Gods and mere mortals with the Gods having a lot of shades of grey
maybe Zeus or Jupiter would somehow approximate something along the lines of your "morals" but many other Gods were literal assholes, tricksters or scheisters that often just played tricks on humans for the hell of it and their own amusement
"good behavior" if that's what you mean, was actually more than often manifested by commoners and not by Gods that often seemed to privilege-pull their immortality unappologetically
>bbbut I am a slave, I can't be great, someone else must have had all the good ideas!
equating "otherworldly" or rahter "powerful" (which is what you meant) with "good" (morals) is a trait of you being brainwashed to be a slave and to bow down to power because it must be good
this is because Christianity even outright sabotaged "Satan" by making the defacto embodyment of "evil" actually not be a "God" but rather the brother of a demi-God Jesus such that your "God" can be "the only God"
to be fair, the only "real rule" that Abrahamic religion is built upon is "I am the only God and you shall take no other Gods before me", with everyhing else being just administration and philosophy ripoffs
even so, I find that bad practice because it spreads the naive belef that powerful people are also good people when the Greek pantheon clearly shows you that live is way more complex and asymmetrical than a black-and-white dichotomy
