How were Greek gods like people?

Most Greek Gods were flawed, making them very human-like. For example one of the most famous Greek gods, Zeus,cheated on his wife to many times to count. Aphrodite, the most gorgeous of the gods and goddesses, was very fickle in love. People back then wanted reason for action, so say when a person back then can't keep a good relationship, they wouldn't want to think of it as something bad about themselves so they had Greek gods and goddesses to to make it possibly a good thing. A person like that might relate themselves to Aphrodite. Hope this wasn't to confusing. Luv the question!
