29. Religion / A. Polytheistic Religion / 2. Greek Polytheism

14827	The Greeks saw the gods not as their masters, but as idealised versions of themselves [Nietzsche]
	Full Idea: The Greeks did not see the Homeric gods above them as masters and themselves below them as servants, as did the Jews. They saw, as it were, only the reflection of the most successful specimens of their own caste - an ideal, not a contrast.
	From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Human, All Too Human [1878], 114)
