I realize I'm casting the net wide by saying "Ancient Greece," as that spanned over 1000 years and had a vast area. Perhaps we could limit the discussion to the Athenian world around the time of Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle.

With that said, did Ancient Greek thinkers actually believe that Zeus and the Olympians were the creators and origin of absolute truth and goodness? If yes, how could that be reconciled with the outrageously "bad" behaviour the gods partook in throughout myth, from trickery to murder to war to rape, often for the most selfish or spiteful of reasons?
