How do these societies depict their gods? How do their depictions differ from modern western society's? What has changed in between then and now to influence this change.

The gods were always imperfect in their society. The gods always cheated and committed crimes but were sly at the same time. Our gods today are perfect in a different way then the Greek or other gods. If we make a mistakes we will be punished by the other gods. I think our gods changed over time because we had an idea about being so perfect. If god is perfect we all have to be perfect otherwise we will be punished because we didn't fallow the rules.
