Best Answer

In addition to the detailed and specific answers this question will get, it is important to remember that all gods have history - and it is deeply political. As the importance and influence of a group grows or shrinks, so does the stature of their patron deity. Apollo began his career as a mouse-demon haunting the dark and dusty corners of granaries and barns.

We must also remember that by the time that the Greek Myths were written down and codified, the dysfunctional misadventures of the Olympian Family - especially in such versions as the famous Bullfinch edition - had become purely literary, having no religious significance.
